Launch infrastructure isn't built on hopes. We've stood up pads, fabricated solutions, and conducted offshore operations.

Having a rapidly deployable launch system and offshore launch capability is also a solution. So far only two companies have demonstrated those capabilities recently but separately @Astra and @TheSpaceportCo. If they want to increase security this is where investments should go.
Satellites can be replaced quickly—but not if the launch site is targeted first. In a recent episode of HTK with Kari Bingen and @heatherwilly, @tomkarako explained why real space resilience means defending launch infrastructure, not just replacing what's already gone.

Buckler™, our sub-$100K interceptor, is flight-tested! Thanks to @TheSpaceportCo for partnering on our early July sea-launch demonstration to advance affordable air defense for the warfighter. See Buckler in person at the @SpaceMissileDef SMD Symposium in August. 👇 Press release in the comments. #FIA2026 #SMD2026 #Buckler #MissileDefense #AffordableMass

Some interesting details in this IG report: • SpaceX says it needs at least 15 launches for HLS landing • Blue Origin seeking third New Glenn pad, just north of NASA's LC-39 complex • SLS nitrogen demands may cause 1-2 month blackout of N2 arstechnica.com/space/2026/0…

@TheSpaceportCo fixes this. This is another reason why there needs to a push for offshore launch capabilities.

People have forgotten that all of the pads have connected commodities. Yes. The scope of the damage has been spreading it's hardly private at this point which is why I'm fine with at least nonspecifically mentioning it

The day after HavocAI demonstrated the first GPS-denied autonomous air/sea control, we accomplished another first – autonomous range clearance for sea-based space launch. Havoc provided autonomous range clearance for @TheSpaceportCo fast-turnaround, cost-effective maritime launch vessel, supplementing their manned operations by clearing miles of open water. The Rampages detected a vessel within the safety radius and provided visual ID so Spaceport personnel could ensure safety standards for launch were met. Havoc is still the only full, collaborative autonomy that can #fighttonight. Check the story in @tectonicdefense: tectonicdefense.com/exclusiv…. Last week’s launch was a test run for the launch of a much bigger vehicle in the Spring requiring clearance out to 30nm. Like every meaningful operation, this requires more than a single vessel doing simple tasks. Thinking, problem-solving fleets free humans from the dirty and dangerous work that call for the speed and precision of robots. We're consistently on the water showing how collaborative autonomy solves problems, saves money, and safeguards lives. That's because our collaborative autonomy works. Not a slide deck, animation, or experiment. Havoc is real autonomy being deployed right now. #autonomy #maritimeautonomy #Rampage #space #defensetech #dualuse #ASV

Rise and shine! Firefly’s #BlueGhost lander captured its first sunrise on the Moon, marking the beginning of the lunar day and the start of surface operations in its new home. Our #GhostRiders have already begun operating many of the 10 @NASA payloads aboard the lander and will continue operations over the next two weeks and into the lunar night. #BGM1

As spaceports get busier, offshore launches may play a much larger role in the space sector. “The best way to build a future where we have dozens, hundreds, or maybe thousands of spaceports is to build them at sea,” @thomasmarotta of @TheSpaceportCo told me.

This is why @thomasmarotta built @TheSpaceportCo company. Looking forward to seeing launches all over.

And we met with industry partners and friends who confirm the need for launch from Canada. Colleagues like @voyagerspace_ @RocketLab @fireflyspace @northropgrumman @EASA @Transport_gc @TheSpaceportCo. See you next year! @rfeierbach

We may on land due to regulation, NIMBY, etc. But we will never run out of launch pads because of @thomasmarotta at @TheSpaceportCo

will we run out of launch pads one day? they have to be in certain geographic areas right, so how many launch pads could be built in the US?

Spaceports, especially mobile sea launch platforms like those @TheSpaceportCo are constructing, are needed to support the coming explosive growth of the launch industry as humanity expands out into the solar system.
