If you’re a talented engineer, moving to el Segundo will guarantee you a job. We’re at the point in the cycle where there are far more job postings than people.

🚀 Big news from NAIA member @longwalldefense!  The Missile Defense Agency has awarded the company $75 million to complete flight testing for its low-cost Cyclops interceptor.  First developed in 2024 and unveiled last December, Cyclops answers the surging demand for affordable, mass-produced interceptors.  Long Wall is also matching the award with $75 million in private investment to drive further design and development. lwall.com/news/long-wall-ann…

Here’s my outlook on humanoid robots. There are four stages of maturity, and each is gated by progress in the stage before it First, you have to build great humanoid hardware Second, that hardware needs to work with a whole-body, AI-first architecture These first two chapters can’t be brute-forced with capital. They require deep engineering across hardware, controls, AI, and systems integration The third chapter is scaling intelligence. The primary bottlenecks become data and compute. I believe humanoid robotics will ultimately require far more of both than LLMs The final chapter is scaling manufacturing and integrating humanoids into the economy at massive scale These last two chapters - intelligence and manufacturing - can be accelerated with capital. Doing them correctly will require tens, and eventually hundreds, of billions of dollars

This is just the start 💪 @ADoricko @tamarackglobal @RainmakerCorp
Rainmaker has raised $100M to become the world’s best lab for weather modification and atmospheric science. Thank you @noavctech @upfrontvc @DCVC @lowercarbon @DreamVenturesVC and other visionary partners. We are aggressively hiring and scaling our research org to create a flywheel of atmospheric data collection, synthesis, understanding, and intervention. We will solve the weather and we will set the stage for the terraformation of Earth. More in my essay below.

Curiosity has delivered a new 360-degree panorama from Mars. “We’ve seen a lot of fascinating landscapes through Curiosity’s eyes, but this sea of polygons took our breath away,” said the mission’s project scientist. 1/2

8vc cofounder @andrewoetting on what makes the @Saronic team and their mission unique: "You can intellectualize that of course a Navy Seal is going to be a great leader. But you see it and you're like, 'Whoa, this is really special.'" "Saronic is building the autonomous future of the Navy." "Figuring out how to build ships in the United States again is an area that we probably have fallen behind the most in terms of our capacity." "In order for Saronic to succeed, they have to become a leader of US shipbuilding."

I watched @jakobdiepen come into El Segundo a few years ago with 100% pure intentionality, determination, and grit, with one goal: to help advance the companies that are defining the next great Industrial Revolution we’re all witnessing in America. With @DiscipulusVent he has given structure and inertia to the movement, and mentored those within it. I for one view this as just the beginning, and all of us at @tamarackglobal are stoked as hell for him and his efforts. Well done brother 🫡 🇺🇸
250 years ago, a small group built something the world had never seen: America. 🇺🇸 That spirit never died. In 2002, @elonmusk moved into a warehouse in El Segundo and proved Americans could still build the impossible. A generation of companies was born from that building. They're still being built here today. If you're building something your family and your country will be proud of, come to the Gundo and build what you need to. Apply for the Fall Cohort below. Deadline July 17th. Featuring @jordannoone and @jordan__black

BECOME A RAINMAKER Make a difference
Today we placed posters around the country telling the story of what it means to Become a Rainmaker. Modifying the weather requires frontier research. Meteorology, physics, machine learning, solid state radar and optics systems, we are hiring for across all these disciplines But, no amount of novel hardware or hours spent in the lab can actually modify the weather unless our systems are tested and deployed by humans in the field Until teams of gritty, relentless, disciplined mountaineers deploy our tech in remote locations during freezing snowstorms—it’s all just theory. And Rainmaker is in the business of contacting reality. So we are hiring teams of Forward Operating Specialists to bring theory into practice again this coming winter. In the hardest conditions imaginable, the FOS is responsible for using all the systems Rainmaker has built. They are Rainmakers in the truest sense of the word. They are the ones who work with nature. They are the ones who modify the weather. Their field work is the final factor determining whether our operations produce more water. It is a tough job in service of a beautiful mission. We are in search of gritty, soulful, dutiful people who want to work with nature, harness the elements, befriend the locals, and bring water where it’s needed most. Become a Rainmaker. More info in the replies.

SpaceX President and COO Gwynne Shotwell and her husband have announced that they are donating ~$325 million of SpaceX stock to Trump Accounts for more than two million children across the U.S. Every one of those kids will now have a direct stake in a company whose mission is the most ambitious in human history: to make life multi-plantary 🚀
My husband and I are honored and thrilled to participate in the Invest America program and gift a share of our SpaceX stock to a Trump Account for each of more than two million children across our great nation. Every American child under 18 can benefit from having a Trump Account, but our gift specifically goes to the Accounts of children (ages 11-17) that live in areas with lower average household incomes with a bit more emphasis for those that live near our central Texas home. We have been fortunate in our careers and hope this gift encourages the next generation to continue the journey of enabling humanity to live and fly amongst the stars. A huge thanks to all that worked to bring this incredible program to life.

Another big milestone for Impulse Space. It's wild that they've raised over 1B, backlog is a pig pile, products are improving at an accelerating rate.... yet, and I think this will only reveal itself in time, we will look back at this moment in history and view it as small ball for them. Its a privilege to back this company and team. @lrocket @GoToImpulse @tamarackglobal
We've raised a $500 million Series D to continue solving the next big challenge in space: movement beyond launch. With over $1 billion in total capital raised, our team and our production are scaling aggressively to accelerate humanity’s future beyond Earth. Read more: impulsespace.com/updates/imp…

"If we don't do something ... if we don't get really good at making more snowpack, then that trajectory is going to displace millions of people across the American West and also destroy all of our natural beauty in places like California." - @ADoricko
.@RainmakerCorp is leading the charge on cloud seeding, a weather-changing technology used to create new water in areas of dire need. The company's CEO warns that without cloud seeding, there's a risk of millions of people being displaced and natural beauty being destroyed. More: tinyurl.com/mtcjzdm9 @NancyLoo
