The era of unmanned warfare is dawning, and strike drones pose existential risk to our security. We must prepare for this future. We must design scalable and cost-effective drone interceptors. We’re excited to be developing Dart for this mission.

The road to Mars will be paved with failures, breakthroughs and millions of other hard lessons.. but we will get there.

I believe humankind is destined to explore and unlock the secrets of the universe. It’s the greatest adventure in human history—and every mission, orbital or suborbital, is a step in the right direction.

Wrong. I know defense procurement is complicated but this borders on intentional misinformation. This isn't a normal CR for defense. Section 1409 of the bill allows DOD the authority for new starts in FY25. It also provides for spending levels as determined in the House and Senate defense versions of the FY25 appropriations bill. Bottom line: DOD will essentially be receiving a full year FY25 appropriation for program execution.
Funny to me that Q1 has seen some of the most irrational defense tech valuations we've ever seen At the same time that Congress has said they're freezing funding basically through the end of the year, so no new programs Which is tough for new entrants..
