$RKLB: Rocket Lab targeting a total of 1,000 Rutherford engine launches before the end of 2026.

The milestone underscores how central additive manufacturing has been to the company’s production strategy since its founding, and how that strategy is now being carried forward into its next-generation platform.

The Rutherford engine is widely recognized as the first 3D printed, electric pump-fed orbital rocket engine, with primary components including the combustion chamber, injectors, pumps, and main propellant valves all produced additively.

The ability to print those components rapidly and iterate quickly has been a key factor in reaching production volumes that few rocket programs have matched at this pace.

Nine Rutherford engines power each Electron first stage, meaning the 800-engine figure represents nearly 90 individual launch vehicles’ worth of additively manufactured propulsion hardware.

The future is here with LOCUST X3 Laser Weapon System, and it couldn’t have come at a better time. $AVAV Our engineers have dedicated decades to advancing directed energy, and it is proving to be the answer to defeating nefarious, cheap, and deadly drone swarms. The LOCUST X3 can stop the threat at $5 or less per shot— helping the warfighter cost-efficiently win the fight.

🚨🇺🇸🇮🇷 The U.S. just deployed robot speedboats to the Gulf and it's about time

The Pentagon confirmed for the first time that uncrewed drone boats are patrolling the Strait of Hormuz during Operation Epic Fury.

The GARC, a 5-meter autonomous speedboat, has logged 450+ hours and 2,200 nautical miles on patrol.

These vessels can run surveillance or be used as kamikazes against Iranian fast-attack boats.

Ukraine proved the concept by crippling Russia's Black Sea Fleet with explosive drone boats reportedly costing around $250,000 each.

For context, a single Iranian anti-ship cruise missile costs millions and a U.S. destroyer runs about $2 billion.

Iran has already used sea drones to hit oil tankers twice during this war.

The U.S. was late to the game but is finally playing it.

:Blue Origin is developing a much larger version of its New Glenn rocket — a serious rival to Starship!It’s called the New Glenn 9x4 because it will feature nine of the powerful BE-4 engines on the first stage and four engines on the second stage. Standing approximately 123 meters tall (roughly the same height as Starship), this super-heavy variant will boast an enormous payload fairing with an internal volume of about 820 cubic meters — directly comparable to Starship.On paper, it will be capable of delivering at least 70 metric tons to low Earth orbit, making it ideal for launching massive satellite mega-constellations with dozens or even hundreds of satellites per flight. It will also be able to send around 20 metric tons toward the Moon on a trans-lunar injection trajectory.The first stage will be fully reusable, just like the current New Glenn design. However, there are no official details yet regarding reusability plans for the second stage.

Holy…S 😳 $XIACF Xiaomi's New CyberOne is so human-like

Although this update features a bionic hand, I was immediately drawn to it.

Let's look at the changes in the hand：

It can handle industrial precision tasks like turning screws, plus delicate operations such as pinching feathers and throwing balloons.

Behind the performance:

>Volume cut by 60%:now almost identical in size/shape to a real human hand

>Big leap in degrees of freedom (+50% total, +83% active:22-27DOF)

>Full-palm tactile sensors over 8200 mm² for precise grip even without vision

>150,000+ grip cycles durability (61-hour test)

And a major innovation:Smart bionic sweat gland cooling: evaporates water for ~10W active heat dissipation

Using tactile gloves to capture real human data, they’re training smoother, human-like grasps with imitation and reinforcement learning.

Elon has said that humanoid hands and true AI are the most difficult aspects of building humanoid robots.

It seems that Xiaomi is also getting close.
