1/12 - To the #DeepTech founders struggling to raise from VCs - I find @DARPA’s Heilmeier Catechism is a useful framework for evaluating new opportunities. Start here and add relevant business and market metrics to show us how you think about your tech + business.

Thanks for a fun chat, @vicky_woodburn, @GoesslerAlyssa, and Taylor Jordan!

.@itsmoislam and I took our live show on the road for the first time this week. We set the broadcast in front of the Apollo 17 command module at our Off World conference at Space Center Houston. We chose the spot (in addition to it being insanely cool and historic) because Apollo 17 was the last time humans landed on the Moon more than 50 years ago. And now, as we are oh so close to finally going back, the conference was bringing together industry folks to figure out what the 21st-century version of landing and living on the Moon will look like. We have become more and more convinced that live, authentic, unscripted video content will play an increasingly important role in media consumption, even for B2B publications like ours. That's interviews, analysis, and short 1.5 min thought leadership clips. We are tripling down on high-quality video content. That's with our bi-weekly show and partnership at the NYSE. And now at our events, tying our content together. Was a great show this week. Moon bases, investing in space exploration, rovers, and nuclear power. We interviewed Carlos Garcia-Galan (NASA Moon base program manager), @tybernstein (Zeno Power), @GoesslerAlyssa (AE Industrial Partners), AJ Gemer (Lunar Outpost), @endeffector (Astrolab), and @TaylorCSargent (Industrious Ventures). As always, will post clips of the important moments from the interviews.

Between 2 ferns with Administrator Isaacman. Really nice chat between Jacqueline and Jared at Payload Off World yesterday.

Autonomous and cost effective satellite servicing is on the horizon.

Finally found my good side.

The Space & Defense Update is LIVE from @NASA @itsmoislam and @JackKuhr are joined today by: – @GoesslerAlyssa, VP at AE Industrial Partners – @tybernstein, Co-founder & CEO of @zeno_power – Carlos Garcia-Galan, Moon Base Program Manager at NASA – AJ Gemer, Co-founder & CTO of @LunarOutpostInc – @endeffector, Founder & CEO of @Astrolab_Space – @TaylorCSargent, Partner at @IndustriousVC We’re digging into: * Building NASA’s Moon base * Nuclear power for surviving the lunar night * The race to put rovers on the Moon * Autonomous exploration & the lunar economy * The investors backing the next generation of space companies Comment if you love space (help us share the show!) 👇 nitter.net/i/broadcasts/1qxvvepRw…

To clear up some confusion in the media: The U.S Army currently has five companies and only five companies under contract to build commercial nuclear reactors through the Janus Program: Antares, BWXT, General Atomics, Radiant, and Westinghouse.

For the first time, our live show is on the move 🤘 Tomorrow morning, we'll go LIVE from NASA’s Space Center Houston at our Off World conference Guest lineup: - @GoesslerAlyssa (AE Industrial) - @tybernstein (Zeno Power) - AJ Gemer (Lunar Outpost) - @endeffector (Astrolab) - @TaylorCSargent (Industrious Ventures) Chatting rovers, nuclear power, moon bases, NASA's goals, and space exploration as a venture-backed sector. Will push live to X at 9am ET.

The foundations of physics are ultimately mathematical, the foundation of math are ultimately computational, and the foundations of computation are ultimately physical.

Looking forward to chatting with @itsmoislam and @JackKuhr tomorrow morning. Tune in!

This is the way

I watch my wife go through the 5 stages of grief every time I bring home yet another startup hat.

Lunar infrastructure won't stay where it lands. The Eagle Lunar Terrain Vehicle's heavy towing capabilities enable it to move and deploy habitats, power systems, communications infrastructure, and other critical assets across the lunar surface. Equipped with independent electric wheel motors and @goodyear's airless wire mesh tires, Eagle is built to navigate heavy towing in loose regolith and 1/6th gravity.

Very impressive

The year is 2050. Automation rules the world. And yet, you’re stuck at your arrival gate waiting on a jet bridge operator.

Awesome news. In 22 years we should have robust in-space servicing. Who knows how long this thing could last!
