Pumped for Amazon Project Kuiper's first full-scale launch this week. This team is genuinely world class at what they do, and it’s a massive step forward to be sending our first production satellites into space. Super proud of the team, and excited about what’s to come. Go Atlas V! Go Kuiper! Go KA-01!
