There were four humans on board, sent to the space station to conduct scientific research, some of which may be lifesaving. Are you saying you’d rather them have died in a failure?

The launch was cancelled due to a storm cloud that was over the launch site at that time. It went just a few hours ago fully successfully.

Our rocket test site is in good hands this week.

Same ground. Same noise. Same love for raw power.
Have an epic festival! πŸš€πŸ”₯🎸

Our DIY plasma cutter has been upgraded with (space) lasers, giving us a new superpower: cutting fabrics in-house. βš‘βœ‚οΈ

Here, under the light, Kevlar donated by Heathcoat Fabrics β€” soon to become part of our spacecraft recovery systems. Faster iterations, more control, 0 cost.

Our vision:
An astronaut headed for a launch pad built by dreamers.
No nation, no billionairesβ€”just volunteers and a wild belief:
That ordinary people can reach space.

Help us make history.
