In 2023, we delivered our first Dream Chaser spaceplane and Shooting Star cargo module to NASA. Our team also reached key milestones in developing the first commercial space station. This is just the beginning. We are dreamers, believers, and doers. Here’s to 2024.

🚀 Delving into the Future of Space Industry We are delighted to be able to share a recent interview with one of our prominent UK space team, Preeya Lakhani, as she shares her aspirations for the industry and valuable advice for aspiring young professionals. Growing up with a fascination for shows like Star Trek and memorable visits to the Farnborough Air Show, Preeya's passion for space was ignited at a young age. Fast forward to today, at the age of 28, she holds the pivotal role of Programme Lead for Space in the UK at Lockheed Martin. Preeya is thrilled to be part of what she describes as 'the dawn of the UK space sector', with rapid technological advancements shaping the industry's landscape. Preeya's journey serves as a testament to the power of determination and unwavering passion. Her story resonates with those who dare to dream big and embrace the challenges that come with pursuing their goals in the ever-evolving space arena. To all the aspiring individuals eager to carve their path in the space industry, Preeya's advice rings true: "Stay curious, stay hungry for knowledge, and never underestimate the value of perseverance."

Last week, The Caruso Group, a division of Campaign Depot, LLC and the Archdiocese of New Orleans, along with Vivace, had the opportunity to host FADICA and discuss the progress we are seeing in our new curriculum programs. We build curriculums to the exact specifications of local and regional economic drivers, like NASA, Vivace, Lockheed Martin, and Our Lady of the Lake Surgical Hospital.

It’s not every day you get to casually chat with the CTO of NASA’s Marshall Space Flight Center, but that’s exactly what happened yesterday! 🤩🤯 Starting as a light conversation, it quickly transformed into a truly inspiring exchange. We were all thrilled (and, honestly, a bit starstruck) to speak with someone so influential in the world of space exploration. 🌌🧑🏻🚀 A big thank you to Les for sharing his time and insights! 🙌🏻👊🏻

Tim Crain of Intuitive Machines joined me on the podcast to talk about their recent IM-1 mission to land Odysseus on the Moon as part of NASA’s CLPS program. We dove into the details of their operations, technical choices, plans for future missions and vehicles, and a ton more. It was a really fun conversation, and one of my favorite interviews to date! Credit to Tim for being game to answer every question I could throw at him, and for dealing with me ridiculing the decision to name vehicles with Roman numerals, and for the completely nonsensical name of “deorbit insertion burn” which was a burn that was neither a deorbit nor insertion. Glad you knew what you were in for on the show, Tim Crain! https://lnkd.in/eSD6mdi4
