**In a sunlit ancient forest, a luminous tall grey alien extends its hand toward two soldiers standing beside a hovering disc craft. The serene yet tense standoff feels like the threshold of history. Is this authentic leaked military footage of first contact or the most realistic depiction of an extraterrestrial meeting ever created?** #FirstContact# #AlienMeeting# #MilitaryUFO# #GreyAlien# #ForestEncounter# #Extraterrestrial# #ViralTruth#

**In a foggy forest clearing, a tall translucent alien stands beside its landed disc craft as armed soldiers cautiously approach. The being extends a hand in what appears to be a gesture of communication. Is this the moment humanity finally makes direct contact or the most powerful depiction of an extraterrestrial encounter yet captured?** #AlienEncounter# #UFOLanding# #FirstContact# #Extraterrestrial# #ForestMystery# #UAP# #ViralTruth#

"It is less a first contact movie than one about sharing the evidence of that contact. What matters is that those images, when presented effectively, have the power to shake us..." @filipefurtado on the power and meaning of image-making in DISCLOSURE DAY.

Well, once again we collectively changed the time on our clock for absolutely no good reason or purpose. Alien civilizations can't make first contact until we end this nonsense, we simply can't be taken seriously as a civilization.

Special moment today on Robinhood Chain, and another innovative tie-in of stock tokens to proprietary technology, courtesy of @AnIdiot. The wiring for "First Contact" has now been plugged into Robinhood Chain, so you can take your StonkBroker, Intern, or any other image or NFT, or a text-based message, and literally beam it into deep outer space via radio telescope, payable for a fee in $SPCX stock tokens. I just sent the image of my Broker to space, and the signal is traveling at the speed of light outside of our solar system. It has currently passed the Sun. First Contact with E.T.s could originate on Robinhood Chain. @vladtenev @JohannKerbrat @RobinhoodCrypto @RobinhoodApp

Conquering the next battlefield: Space. We bet our own money to rapidly design, build, test, and fly a fully integrated satellite. Last month, ANDURIL-216 reached orbit. Anduril, alongside a few core partners, went from clean sheet to on orbit in less than two years. All systems are nominal. We've made first contact and fully commissioned the bus, power distribution devices, and edge compute payload. The first calibrated images are in from all three payloads onboard the spacecraft: one long-wave infrared, two electro-optical. The firsts go beyond the vehicle. Our space team used Lattice to commission and task ANDURIL-216, the first time Lattice has commanded an on-orbit spacecraft. More to come.

The recent Transporter-17 launch was a big day for Apex. We put four Apex spacecraft into orbit: three customer-owned Aries platforms and one Apex-owned testbed Nova platform. All three Aries spacecraft are operating nominally, and commissioning continues ahead of schedule. These buses represent a major milestone for our customers, who are using them to support critical missions. We’re excited to reveal more details on those missions in the coming months. The Nova testbed platform performed as planned through its early mission: it separated cleanly from the launch vehicle, powered on, booted the flight computer, deployed both solar arrays successfully, and entered a GNC-controlled safe state before transitioning into a hold state, awaiting first contact. Unfortunately, we have not yet established communications with the test spacecraft. The Apex team is working to understand the issue and establish communications with Nova. The very purpose of Nova’s pathfinder mission is to surface issues and prove out vehicle performance before our customer missions. Apex is already set to launch the second ​Nova testbed platform in the coming months, before flying any customer missions. This rapid mission cadence enables Apex’s risk-on approach for rapidly developing and testing pathfinder satellite platforms to ensure customer-owned platforms maintain 100% on-orbit success. This is the Apex way: to develop new platforms at unprecedented speed, Apex intentionally accepts higher risk on initial self-funded flights of testbed vehicles to prove out design and performance. Once these systems fly successfully in orbit, our customers are ready to fly them with confidence. For our customers’ spacecraft, reliability is everything, and we treat it that way. The next Nova is already in production, with our launch coming up in just a matter of months. We will apply learnings from this first mission, make the necessary changes for increased reliability, and fly again before any Nova customer mission. We are immensely proud of the Apex team for the three customer-owned Aries platforms now operating successfully in orbit, and thankful to our partners for their continued support. We will share more updates on all four spacecraft as we confirm additional information. (Thanks to our friends @vantortech for the great NEI shots of Nova!)
