Summary

Announced the launch of General Astronautics, a startup building orbital manufacturing factories to address space labor shortages and enable new pharmaceuticals, materials, and planetary exploration, with an oversubscribed seed round.

Today, I'm excited to share that I've started a company and closed an oversubscribed seed round.  Space has a labor shortage, and a growing surplus of science that we can’t afford not to do. Our astronauts’ time costs $130,000 an hour, and almost all of it goes to keeping them alive. The science happens in the margins. The bottleneck in orbit is not rockets, but labor. General Astronautics will build and scale orbital manufacturing factories, starting with industrial robotics. This is the unlock to new pharmaceuticals, new materials, and new planets.
