> MAJOR MILESTONE ALERT Spaceship Neptune's capsule structure is now complete! This #capsule will be used in our next test #flight, which we are calling Flight 2. In 2021, we successfully flew a capsule simulator to #space with Flight 1. Since then, we’ve been designing and manufacturing the pressurized capsule, which will be used in our upcoming uncrewed flights to test corner cases. Data gathered will inform the build of a commercial-grade capsule and pave the wave for crewed test flights later next year. The completion of the capsule structure is the result of highly #complex and integrated work that our Founder, Co-CEO and CTO, Taber MacCallum, calls “one of the greatest iterative collaborations I have ever seen,” and marks a pivotal step toward offering the world an extraordinary, completely reimagined #spaceflight #experience.
