I spy with my little lander, a Moon in the distance. Check out Blue Ghost's amazing view of Earth eclipsing the Moon as the lander travels on orbit. Our #GhostRiders can't wait to share more postcard worthy moments as we continue on our roadtrip. #BGM1

Big news from Pixxel! 🚀 We’ve raised $24M in a Series B extension round, bringing our total Series B funding to $60M! 🌎✨ We want to thank our new investors, M&G Catalyst and Glade Brook Capital Partners, and all our existing investors for backing our vision to build a health monitor for the planet. This funding positions Pixxel as the world’s most well-funded hyperspectral imaging startup. It also accelerates our mission to deploy the world’s highest-resolution hyperspectral satellite constellation and expand our software and hardware capabilities to drive impactful climate action. Stay tuned as we gear up for the upcoming launch of Fireflies, our flagship commercial hyperspectral satellites, marking a significant step in transforming how we observe and understand our planet! 🛰️

For SCALE!!!!
ELON: THE PROBABILITY OF MECHAZILLA CATCHING STARSHIP IS ABOVE ZERO “It'll weigh about 250 tons. We'll make that lighter over time. So, you got a couple of hundred tons plummeting more than half the speed of sound. So, this thing is still coming in really fast. Pretty much down in a downward direction. So then, they light the engines, so it's got to slow itself down very fast and correct any errors. Whatever the X-Y error is when the engines land, it's got to take out that X-Y error and then drop the velocity to basically zero, come in between the arms. The arms will be wide, and as it's coming in, the arms will close, go flush against the side of the vehicle, and the vehicle will be descending through the arms. And those tiny little, you can barely see them, the little knobs, those kinds of lifting lugs will touch the top of the arms, and then it will hopefully not shear off and crumple. Success is one of the possible outcomes. The probability is uncertain, but it is above zero.” Source: @elonmusk, @Erdayastronaut, May 2022
