>Weather update: it's chilly and the wind is picking up at LC-2 at @NASA_Wallops as launch prep continues. GNC is keeping a close eye on upper level winds over the range. With a weather balloon in air now, the team expects to have current wind level readings shortly.

I own some SRAC but how balls deep are you guys going on a company with 100 employees, no revenue, and a $1B market cap? The tech is neat, the concept is symbiotic with Starship which is fantastic...but there's hardly any actual business behind the ticker.

What he said kinda concerned me about Neutron. I knew the engines haven't been designed yet, but that made it sound like the entire rocket's design is a work in progress, and that they were basically forced to reveal the project sooner than they're used to due to going public. I think they can pull it off, but so much that can go wrong still lies ahead. Also, at one point he seemed to hint at upper stage reuse IIRC.
