Impulse Space | Accelerating Our Future Beyond Earth

[00:00:02]SpaceX built the highway to orbit. We're building the highways to everywhere [music] else in the solar system.

[00:00:09]We solved getting to Earth orbit and now [music] at Impulse, we're solving getting well beyond Earth orbit.

[00:00:17]Building the first Mira in about 15 [music] months from a clean design to in orbit was, you know, really the moment like we're we're doing this. This is we got it.

[00:00:29]>> [music] >> We all want to go to the moon. We all want to go to Mars, but we know that the way that we get there is by building a business along the way. And so we [music] focused on defense and on commercial and on NASA markets and in places where we can provide value to those customers right now today to develop technologies and capabilities that eventually get us to the moon and Mars.

[00:00:46]We have spacecraft like Mira that are designed to move very precisely [music] in specific orbits. And then we have spacecraft like Helios that are basically a tank of energy that can get to really high energy places like to the moon and Mars and beyond.

[00:01:03]We start from this technical excellence in propulsion so we can start from a focus on building space vehicles of very high performance and you can move very [music] quickly. And the team we have from Tom on down is very credible in that arena. We've demonstrated [music] over and over again that our systems really work well. That in and of itself is a big differentiator.

[00:01:21]I don't think most people think [music] about space on a daily basis, but it is absolutely integral to our way of life.

[00:01:27]We have lots [music] of assets like GPS, comsats, Earth observation satellites.

[00:01:33]There's hundreds of billions, maybe even trillions [music] of dollars worth of stuff in space that needs to be protected.

[00:01:39]There's been a lot of talk lately about building AI [music] servers in space to offload the energy usage that AI and computer going to take. That's a great [music] example of how you save the resources of Earth.

[00:01:53]Working at Impulse is, I think, really empowering for most people because this place [music] is very flat. There's not a lot of micromanaging. There's not a lot of manager for manager's [music] sake. This is a place where people come in who are self-motivated, who want [music] to go wake up every day and solve the most important problem that possibly could for the company. It's invigorating and exciting to see that somebody working on a moon lander or a Mars lander or [music] a spacecraft and makes them want to go do hard things, too.

[00:02:20]We're doers that like [music] to solve hard problems because solving hard problems really changes history.
