@DavidNagySFgang David. Thanks for the update. Firefly is not responsible for taking down the MST. As you identified contractors (not contracted by Firefly) may have caused fire. No damage to the new infrastructure that’s been installed and fire contained as you stated

Firefly's team continues to work safely and industrially. Like many manufacturing companies with 3D printing capabilities, we are helping make PPE equipment for the heroes in the healthcare sector and national responders. Reaver first stage ending testing…lnkd.in/gXW8rva

I’ve said this before, but it’s so true, welders are a critical part of a rocket launch team. Their skill and artistry is incredible. Kudos and thanks to our Briggs team. Firefly Aerospace lnkd.in/g_KrXey

A launcher company is only as good as its welders, and Firefly's welding team is the best in the business. The Alpha launch mount with release mechanisms is shown here. It'll soon be heading to Vandenberg Air Force Base Space Launch Complex 2 for installation!

@thesheetztweetz 2/2. Ie - How will they outperform the current public market constellations? Finally need to understand capex plans both for full deployment and then ongoing maintenance. Does the math work?

@thesheetztweetz 1/2. In these markets??!! Rationally i would point to OneWeb as a starting point. Clearly Starlink is more mature from a roll out, however their downlink and monetization plans are the unknown so would reserve any judgement until then.

@thesheetztweetz It’s a financing play. Spinning off Starlink will raise capital for SpaceX and also they will be able to charge Starlink as an independent company for F9 / Starship launches that would otherwise be fully subsidized

Got to love the humor in Firefly Aerospace's propulsion team. Pretty solid names for our Tea-Teb cartridges for Lightning relight. However best alternative name(s) (purely at my discretion) wins the next Firefly Skateboard! Competition ends Friday night g…lnkd.in/geaTvPe

I keep coming back to this picture of the N1 with amazement. With first hand context of the challenges of a first stage with 4 engines, it’s staggering to imagine the complexity of 30 NK-15’s. Amazing!!!
