Your first post! And congrats on the landing!
Watch Firefly land on the Moon! After identifying surface hazards and selecting a safe landing site, #BlueGhost landed directly over the target in Mare Crisium. A historic moment on March 2 we'll never forget. We have Moon dust on our boots! #BGM1

Mission success for our 59th Electron launch 🚀
Five new satellites are now in orbit for Kineis.
That’s mission 4 of 5 to build out Kineis’ internet-of-things constellation.

At a time when the Internet is becoming less and less reliable, libraries and expertise like Jonathan's are irreplaceable. I've benefited so much from his knowledge that I threw $500 into the pot. If you love space exploration and accurate history, join in!
Well, big news. I am planning to move the Space Library to a new home. And I need some help - in 35 years I've never asked for funding, donations or subscriptions for my Space Report, to keep it independent, but now I need to raise some additional funds.

All this to say that I'm thrilled to be here (and to have packed my bags when there were only 100k of us here). I didn't spend two years managing the same account on SEVEN FRAKING NETWORKS for nothing.
Here we can chat and share, and that's all I'm interested in for a SOCIAL network.

Quick note: I was on a plane during the Starship flight so I won't be able to catch up and comment for a few hours yet.
Elon should know better than to launch when I'm not available!
