Skyways has spent nearly a decade working on a problem most of the drone industry largely ignored: logistics. While billions poured into drones built to see targets or strike them, Skyways focused on something less flashy but arguably just as important: moving critical supplies without putting people in harm's way. That bet is starting to look increasingly prescient. The company has worked with the U.S. military since its earliest days and is now building its V3 aircraft to carry 100 pounds of payload up to 1,000 nautical miles. The longer-term ambition is much bigger: use defense to mature autonomous aviation, build a global logistics network, and eventually prove the technology required to carry people. Skyways' Chief Strategy Officer Isaac Roberts joins Valley of Depth from the company's Austin factory to unpack why autonomous logistics could become one of the biggest markets in drones, how the war in Ukraine has accelerated the entire industry, and why the FAA may be the biggest obstacle standing between today's cargo drones and autonomous aviation at scale. We also cover: Why logistics became Skyways' wedge into the Department of Defense How Skyways beat Boeing and Shield AI in military competitions Why the company believes defense is the proving ground, but commercial logistics is the much larger opportunity Why the FAA is holding back commercial drone adoption in the U.S. How Skyways plans to turn aircraft sales into a high-utilization “flight-as-a-service” network What separates real drone companies from the hype in aerospace • Chapters • 00:00 – Trailer 00:48 – Skyways factory floor 01:08 – America, French, and Texas flags 02:16 – The problem Skyways is trying to solve 03:49 – The logistics problem 09:05 – Companies Skyways competes with 11:45 – How Skyways beat out Boeing 13:18 – Will Skyways ever transport people? 15:56 – Why focus on cargo over kinetic systems? 18:35 – How has Ukraine changed the nature of drone warfare? 22:58 – Skyhook 25:34 – Where is the FAA a blocker? 28:40 – Defense contract traction 29:34 – Direct competitors in their contracts 30:28 – Is Isaac worried about Anduril competing with them? 34:06 – Current economics for the v3 36:00 – Hype and BS 37:52 – How to get to ground truth with tech 39:41 – Funding and next phase of growth 40:35 – How is Skyways structurally different than other defense companies? 41:52 – How Isaac got to Skyways 43:29 – Rocky moments at Skyways 44:27 – The FAA unlock for the industry 50:38 – What keeps Isaac up at night? 52:37 – What Mo and Isaac do for fun   • Show notes • Footage courtesy of Skyways Skyways' website — https://www.skyways.com/ Skyways' socials — https://x.com/skyways Mo's socials — https://x.com/itsmoislam Valley of Depth archive — Listen: https://pod.payloadspace.com/   • About us • Valley of Depth is a podcast about the technologies reshaping industry, national security, and the global balance of power.

Antares just closed a massive $470M Series C, was welcomed to the Oval Office by President Trump to celebrate becoming the first startup to achieve reactor criticality under the Department of Energy's reactor pilot program, and is now racing toward delivering the first commercial microreactors to the U.S. military. Just three years after being founded, the company expects to surpass $1B in defense contracts while attempting to restart America's nuclear industrial base. CEO Jordan Bramble joins Valley of Depth to unpack what it actually took to build and operate a nuclear reactor in under a year, why Antares believes the military (not hyperscale data centers) is the fastest path to commercial nuclear power, and how microreactors could fundamentally reshape everything from missile defense and remote military installations to space exploration. We also cover: Why achieving reactor criticality is a historic milestone for American nuclear energy How Antares compressed decades of nuclear development into a startup timeline Why the company chose defense as its beachhead market instead of AI data centers The manufacturing, regulatory, and supply chain strategy behind scaling microreactors How nuclear power could enable Golden Dome, space infrastructure, and the next era of national security • Chapters • 00:00 - Trailer 00:54 – Jordan at the White House 02:57 – What does criticality mean? 04:29 – How hard is reaching criticality? 08:48 – What $600M in fundraising will allow Antares to do 09:58 – How did Antares get to criticality first? 12:55 – How the government's approach to nuclear has changed since Jordan's time at the Office of Management & Budget 15:25 – How small modular reactors fit in the nuclear tech landscape 19:02 – Space-based civilian use cases for nuclear 20:57 – Antares's approach to fuel availability and supply chains 25:56 – Electricity in 2027 27:14 – Regulatory hurdles 30:12 – The production line Antares is building 31:33 – The road to 30 reactors a month 33:22 – The data center component 37:22 – Is it just a coincidence that 4 companies reached criticality by the July 4th deadline? 39:48 – How would an investor know if a nuclear company is on the right path? 43:09 – What would Jordan have done differently with Antares? 44:36 – What will Jordan be most proud of about Antares when he's 80?   • Show notes • Antares' website — https://antaresindustries.com/ Jordan's socials — https://x.com/jordanbramble Mo's socials — https://x.com/itsmoislam Payload's socials — https://x.com/payloadspace /  https://www.linkedin.com/company/payloadspace Ignition's socials — https://x.com/ignitionnuclear / https://www.linkedin.com/company/ignition-nuclear/ Tectonic's socials  — https://x.com/tectonicdefense / https://www.linkedin.com/company/tectonicdefense/ Valley of Depth archive — Listen: https://pod.payloadspace.com/   • About us • Valley of Depth is a podcast about the technologies that matter — and the people building them.  Brought to you by Arkaea Media, the team behind Payload (space), Ignition (nuclear energy), Decoding Bio (biotech) and Tectonic (defense tech), this show goes beyond headlines and hype.

Ken shares how each conference has built on the previous one, leading to this year's emphasis on becoming people who shine and who are radiant with the character of Jesus.Together, they discuss why miracles and healing should always be accompanied by discipleship and character formation, why humility and holiness are essential for lasting ministry, and how believers can pursue both the power of God and the life that reflects His nature. They also explain why Luminosity is designed to be more than an event—it's an invitation to deeper transformation and a renewed commitment to Christ that goes beyond the conference.Whether you're attending Luminosity or simply longing to grow in your walk with God, this conversation will encourage you to pursue a life marked by both holiness and the power of the Holy Spirit.Topics Include:The vision behind LuminosityWhy consecration and holiness matter todayCharacter and power working togetherHealing ministry and discipleshipThe importance of humility in leadershipBuilding lasting spiritual foundationsThe Church's witness in a dark worldWhy revival begins with transformed livesPreparing for what God is doing nextWhat to expect at Luminosity

Surprise WFO Ignition! On Location at the Muckleshoot Casino Resort, WFO Joe congratulates Dave and Sue on their recent win, and Troy in Oregon on his first race win! We also talk NASCAR and F1! Joe calls out the haters and Matt in Australia and Bobby Graham provide wisdom. This road show is filled with surprises.

After several weeks away from the podcast, Dave Griffith and Vladimir Romanov return to Manufacturing Hub to unpack their experiences at Automate 2026 and discuss what the event revealed about the current state of industrial automation.Automate showcased an enormous range of robotics, industrial AI, machine vision, software, cloud connectivity, and emerging automation technology. However, some of the most revealing conversations were not about futuristic factories. They were about PLC 5 migrations, aging SLC systems, obsolete PanelView terminals, industrial networks, basic data collection, and how platforms such as Ignition actually connect to plant floor equipment.Vlad shares what he learned from demonstrating a complete packaging line environment built around a CompactLogix PLC, an industrial computer, Ignition, and production performance data. The demonstration was designed to show how manufacturers can use OEE, downtime information, and machine states to identify production bottlenecks and determine where capital investment could deliver the greatest return. Instead, many attendees wanted to understand the underlying architecture, where Ignition runs, how it connects to PLCs, what protocols are required, and whether it can replace traditional HMI and SCADA platforms.Dave discusses his experience inside the Ignition ecosystem booth, the FactoryStack cloud demonstration, the advantages of MQTT in a difficult trade show network environment, and his Automate panel on software defined automation and the factory of the future. He also introduces Elephant, an industrial log analysis and contextualization tool being developed to help users identify meaningful patterns across Ignition gateways, reduce system noise, compare facilities, and diagnose intermittent problems.The conversation then moves across the industrial automation stack. Dave and Vlad examine virtual PLCs from Siemens, Phoenix Contact, and other vendors, including where software based control may provide value and where it may add unnecessary organizational complexity. They discuss AI generated PLC code, the limitations of translating functional specifications into reliable control applications, and why tools that produce 80 or 90 percent of an automation solution still require experienced engineers to validate the final result.They also explore AI assisted HMI and SCADA development, Ignition 8.3, MCP servers, high performance HMI design, and the risks of providing AI agents with uncontrolled access to production systems. At the MES layer, they question whether manufacturers should build custom applications through vibe coding or focus instead on creating clean, contextualized, well governed data that can support many future applications.The central conclusion is that AI tools, virtual controllers, cloud platforms, and dynamically generated applications will continue to improve. However, manufacturers still need reliable controls, secure networks, maintainable architectures, experienced people, and ownership of their operational data. The companies that establish those foundations today will have the greatest freedom to adopt whatever technologies emerge next.Dave and Vlad also preview the 2026 Ignition Community Conference in Sacramento, upcoming Manufacturing Hub conversations, new demonstrations, and several projects the community will see throughout the remainder of the year.Join us for a detailed and candid discussion about Automate 2026, Ignition, industrial AI, virtual PLCs, HMI and SCADA development, MES, MQTT, data architecture, and what manufacturers should prioritize next.

Hello everyone. Welcome to the latest episode of The Matchbox Podcast powered by Ignition Coach Co. I'm your host, Adam Saban, and on this week's episode we're talking about our own experience with preparing for and racing at altitude as Drew takes on his first Leadville 100 MTB next month.    As always, if you like what you hear, share this with your friends and leave us a five star review and if you have any questions for the show drop us an email at matchboxpod@gmail.com or head over to ignitioncoachco.com and fill out The Matchbox Podcast listener question form.    Alight let's get into it!   For more social media content, follow along @ignitioncoachco @adamsaban6 @dizzle_dillman @dylanjawnson @kait.maddox       https://www.youtube.com/c/DylanJohnsonCycling https://www.ignitioncoachco.com  https://www.youtube.com/@DrewDillmanChannel   Intro/ Outro music by AlexGrohl - song "King Around Here" - https://pixabay.com/music/id-15045/    The following was generated using Riverside.fm AI technologies   Show Notes Episode Summary In this episode, the hosts break down how to prepare for high-altitude racing, using Drew's Leadville build as the main example. They cover acclimatization strategy, heat training, fueling at altitude, iron considerations, pacing, recovery, and how to use ventilation data to better understand effort. The conversation also explores when to introduce intensity at altitude, how much training to do while acclimating, and why respecting altitude is as much psychological as it is physiological.   Timestamps 0:01 — Intro: special guest David joins, and the episode topic is introduced 0:38 — Drew's Leadville qualification and the shift to altitude preparation 3:01 — Training changes heading into Leadville 3:51 — Heat training and sauna use as “poor man's acclimation” 4:50 — Flagstaff plan for acclimatization before Leadville 6:30 — Weight cut and nutrition strategy discussion 10:02 — Carb needs and fueling changes at altitude 13:48 — Iron/ferritin considerations for altitude performance 15:21 — Race-specific training, tempo work, and threshold preparation 17:51 — Mountain bike specificity and position differences 20:50 — Ventilation metrics and how Drew is using TimeWare 23:52 — How ventilation data relates to altitude physiology 31:19 — Why altitude performance loss is exponential 36:31 — When to reintroduce intensity after arriving at altitude 39:20 — Recommended ramp-in strategy at 7,000 feet 40:30 — Adam's personal altitude strategy and last-minute arrival approach 43:11 — Course familiarity, descents, and why pre-riding matters 44:43 — Pacing mistakes at altitude and recovery between efforts 47:51 — How many hard altitude sessions to do before race day 49:02 — Respect vs. fear: the psychological side of altitude racing 51:45 — Why riders underestimate recovery demands at altitude 55:20 — Heat training vs. altitude tents and other pre-acclimation tools 58:20 — Leadville logistics, weather extremes, and race-day nutrition 61:25 — Final takeaways and what Drew will change based on the discussion

Ignition for local soccer culture does not happen in a vacuum, but a major international tournament on home soil behaves exactly like a catalyst for massive regional growth. When regular sports fans transition away from being passive observers into dedicated supporters, the underlying community dynamic shifts completely. In this episode, host Wes Harris connects with Parker Dodson in the studio to analyze the direct cultural impact of the current tournament cycle on the Northwest Arkansas community and its grassroots soccer ecosystem.We sit down to unpack the exact elements that convert traditional American sports fans into dedicated club and national team followers. Our conversation details the logistical success of localized watch parties at spots like the Upper Ramble and Luther George Park, the deep structural identity of elite European academy systems like Spain's top down approach, and the tactical weight of historical international rivalries playing out in high-stakes environments. We also look at the specific reality of managing tournament momentum when star studded frontline talent faces rigid, disciplined defensive spacing.The underlying reality of sports development is that driving genuine engagement requires massive, often exhausting infrastructure work behind the curtain. Putting on large scale community events involves serious logistical execution, long hours, and the constant navigation of variable crowd dynamics. Viewers will walk away with an honest look at how local club momentum builds on international excitement, a clearer understanding of rigid team systems versus individual flair, and a realistic preview of the final matchups before the post tournament depression sets in.If you care about soccer culture growth, community event management, and tournament bracket analytics, you will get a lot from this discussion. Please remember to subscribe to the channel and share this episode with anyone looking to understand the growth of the game. Considering how deep into the knockout rounds we are, which tactical system do you think is actually sustainable enough to lift the trophy this week?

Today I get a chance to speak to Jamie S. Rich, Editor in Chief for Ignition Press and creator of the Romantic Comedy The Dogsitter. Fun Fact: before the birth of superheroes most comics thrived as romance comics. Jamie tells the story of Gemma who is in her gap year of veterinary school. She is hustling her way not only working at a florist, but utilizing the workspace at the florist siding as a Dogsitter. Gemma is immediately relatable to many students finding the mix between School and actually making money as a hardship in their social lives. Until Neal arrives, currently dating his boss who lives upstairs from the florist and someone who Gemma thought was nothing more than a Harlot. One night out at a costume party changes all this and now Gemma finds herself in a an uninhibited love triangle.Written by Jamie S RichArtwork by Megan LevensColors by Nick Filardi

Ian Cinnamon didn't set out to build a satellite company. After selling his first startup to Palantir, he became convinced the real bottleneck in space wasn't launch or payloads, but the spacecraft itself. While rockets were getting cheaper and payloads more capable, satellite buses were still being built like bespoke engineering projects. Apex's answer was simple in theory and incredibly difficult in practice: turn spacecraft into products. Four years later, Apex is building standardized satellite platforms for commercial and national security customers, with a product lineup that now spans missions from LEO to GEO. We get into whether the satellite bus market is genuinely supply constrained, if standardized spacecraft become commodities or durable technology platforms, and how Starship, proliferated constellations, and rising defense demand are reshaping the economics of spacecraft manufacturing. We also cover: Why Ian believes spacecraft should become products instead of bespoke engineering programs Whether the satellite bus market is actually underbuilt or heading toward oversupply How Apex thinks about manufacturing, vertical integration, and scaling production Why larger satellites may make more sense in a world of cheap launch The capital strategy behind building one of the industry's fastest-growing companies Check out Valley of Depth #045 on Apple, Spotify, or YouTube. • Chapters • 00:00 – Trailer 00:55 – New CEO of Apex 02:29 – The Apex origin story 05:39 – Partnering with Max Benassi 07:13 – Successes and drawbacks of Apex's first 6 months 08:50 – Apex's current product set 10:36 – Misconceptions about how much mass you need in orbit 12:08 – Is the plan to build larger and larger satellites indefinitely? 13:11 – State of the bus market today 14:52 – Domestically oversupplied, globally undersupplied 16:31 – Apex's biggest opportunities on the commercial and national security side 18:50 – When should a company utilize Apex vs. building their own bus in-house? 19:46 – Apex's moat 21:12 – Juggling the bespoke government customer 22:15 – What the primes having in-house buses says about the market 23:07 – Commoditization of the bus vs. owning the complete mission 26:01 – Apex partnerships 27:27 – How many satellites are you building at a $100B company? 28:10 – Apex's three $200M fundraising rounds 32:05 – Is there another fundraising round incoming? 33:04 – Where Apex needs to be to seriously consider going public 34:58 – The road to 200 satellites per year 35:46 – Who is Apex losing deals to the most? 37:39 – Apex vs. K2 40:27 – How the push for heavy launch will affect Apex 42:15 – Apex's ability to get to space if SpaceX fully cuts commercial launches 44:35 – Is York an under or overvalued business? 46:36 – What keeps Ian up at night? 50:10 – When is Apex launching their own constellation? 51:06 – The missions that Apex could enable 52:30 – Is Ian still excited about asteroid mining?   • Show notes • Apex's' website — https://www.apexspace.com/ Ian's' socials — https://x.com/IanCinnamon Mo's socials — https://x.com/itsmoislam Payload's socials — https://x.com/payloadspace / https://www.linkedin.com/company/payloadspace Ignition's socials — https://x.com/ignitionnuclear /  https://www.linkedin.com/company/ignition-nuclear/ Tectonic's socials — https://x.com/tectonicdefense / https://www.linkedin.com/company/tectonicdefense/ Valley of Depth archive — Listen: https://pod.payloadspace.com/   • About us • Valley of Depth is a podcast about the technologies that matter — and the people building them.  Brought to you by Arkaea Media, the team behind Payload (space), Ignition (nuclear energy), Decoding Bio (biotech) and Tectonic (defense tech), this show goes beyond headlines and hype.

The Hiss Perjury Conviction and the Ignition of the McCarthy Era GUEST: Nick Bunker On January 25, 1950, the conviction of Alger Hiss for perjury electrified American politics, seemingly validating Republican claims that Washington was "full of communist subversives." Seizing the moment, Dean Acheson made a controversial statement of personal loyalty to Hiss, which Joe McCarthy immediately used to launch his crusade. In February, McCarthy famously alleged in Wheeling, West Virginia, that he had a list of 56 card-carrying communists in the State Department. Democratic Majority Leader Scott Lucas failed to stop McCarthy, finding himself outmaneuvered by the Senator's "aggression" and "inventiveness." Lucas made a critical historical error by agreeing to a Senate subcommittee to investigate the allegations, providing McCarthy with a national stage to harry the President during an election year. This platform allowed the scandal to grow publicly, transforming McCarthy from a "wild card" into a powerful national figure who dominated the political scene. (5)

Soren Monroe-Anderson grew up racing FPV drones before turning that obsession into Neros, a defense startup building low-cost, high-volume drone systems for the United States and its allies. What began with prototypes in a basement has become a 200-person company producing roughly 1,000 drones a week, with plans to build a factory capable of making one million annually. The timing is difficult to ignore. Small drones have become one of the defining weapons of the war in Ukraine, China holds a massive production advantage and the Pentagon is now trying to catch up in a category it was slow to take seriously. We get into why so many American drones failed in Ukraine, what separates a good demo from a battlefield-ready product, and why Soren believes the next generation of weapons will look more like consumer electronics than traditional defense systems. We also discuss the limits of autonomy, the difficulty of manufacturing at scale, and the moral weight of building kinetic systems. We cover: The widening drone production gap between the United States and China What Ukraine has taught Neros about battlefield performance, tactics, and product design Why scaling from prototypes to one million drones a year is an entirely different engineering problem Where autonomy helps, where it breaks, and why human pilots still matter How Soren thinks about talent, focus, capital, and the ethics of building weapons • Chapters • 00:00 – Plants at the factory 00:55 – Strawberry jam on a drone 04:45 – Soren's and Olaf's background 07:28 – First meeting with the DoD 08:54 – The key to Soren's early success 10:00 – How do you push the boundaries of a small drone? 11:39 – The most successful technology in Ukraine 13:45 – The future of warfare 15:09 – Chinese vs. US drone manufacturing capabilities 18:42 – Neros's facility and current production process 20:30 – What surprised Soren about building Neros 22:06 – How Soren thinks about competing in a well-funded market 23:50 – What makes the talent side so challenging 27:05 – Revenue concentration 28:12 – Are defense tech companies living up to their promises? 30:19 – Nervous or excited about the changing investor in defense tech? 32:12 – $120M raised and future capital needs in the near term 33:19 – Would Neros expand beyond drones? 34:22 – Where the primes fit in with manufacturing drones 36:30 – How Neros views AI in their products 41:41 – From professional drone racer to CEO 43:23 – Key players early on in Neros 45:28 – Does Soren still build drones or is he more focused on running Neros? 47:07 – Cultivating company culture 48:46 – Wrestling with building lethal systems 50:21 – Soren's health scare 51:28 – The morality critics on drone warfare 54:17 – How can the US win the drone production race? 55:45 – What keeps Soren up at night? 56:51 – Advice Soren would give to himself 58:05 – Factory of the future 59:31 – What Soren does for fun   • Show notes • Neros' website — https://www.neros.tech/ Soren's' socials — https://x.com/soren_ma Mo's socials — https://x.com/itsmoislam Payload's socials — https://x.com/payloadspace / https://www.linkedin.com/company/payloadspace Ignition's socials — https://x.com/ignitionnuclear /  https://www.linkedin.com/company/ignition-nuclear/ Tectonic's socials  — https://x.com/tectonicdefense / https://www.linkedin.com/company/tectonicdefense/ Valley of Depth archive — Listen: https://pod.payloadspace.com/ • About us • Valley of Depth is a podcast about the technologies that matter — and the people building them.  Brought to you by Arkaea Media, the team behind Payload (space), Ignition (nuclear energy), Decoding Bio (biotech) and Tectonic (defense tech), this show goes beyond headlines and hype.

Do you know the last fruit of the Spirit mentioned in Galatians 5? It is the theme of today's podcast from chapter 4 in The Next Conversation by Jefferson Fisher, Control Yourself. Fisher explains the two phases of every argument, ignition (aka fight or flight) and cooling (aka rest & digest).“Ignition happens when, with enough friction, the productive becomes destructive.”In this phase, the prefrontal cortex functions little to nothing. This explains why so many unkind and  unthinkable comments are growled and often yelled, the decision-making part of the brain is out to lunch. Connects with a couple of idioms,  “I put my foot in my mouth” and “He put his foot in it.” The Next Conversation will help us eliminate those instances!“Friction offers room for improvement. Because what triggers you teaches you.”Here is Fisher's breakdown of triggers:Physical triggers-most noticeable, impact your sense of well-beingPsychological triggersSocial triggers - worried about how others perceive youPersonal identity threats - A. Competence, B. Autonomy, C. Purpose, & D. ValueLoss If you learn to understand your body's reactions and ups and downs, you'll also be able to recognize the triggers of others. “They aren't behaviors to get offended over. They're information to gather.”Remember, what triggers you teaches you, if you're willing to learn…If you want to put out fires, find their trigger.” It's a win win, are you ready to dive in? Blessings!

Eric Romo spent his early career as employee #13 at SpaceX, left for nearly two decades, and came back to one of the hardest unsolved problems in the space economy: what happens after launch. Getting things to orbit is largely figured out. Moving them once they're there is not. Impulse is now over $1B raised, embedded in the Golden Dome architecture, and with a GEO rideshare program booked out before a first flight.

Bridgit Mendler took an unconventional path to founding a space infrastructure company, but it led her to one of the industry's most overlooked bottlenecks: the ground systems connecting satellites to Earth. Now, she's building Northwood to modernize that critical layer of the space economy, the part that doesn't get the headlines but matters as much as anything happening above it.  Northwood recently announced its new Prism product, and we get into the business model, the competitive landscape, the government bet, and one of the most critical questions: if Starlink and Kuiper have already built their own versions of what Northwood is selling, who's actually buying? We cover: Why ground infrastructure is the overlooked bottleneck in the space economy The announcement of Prism and what it means for Northwood's ambitions beyond its first product The claim that Northwood will rival a terrestrial internet exchange by 2028 The Space Force contract and what the path to a second one looks like Cell tower or cloud bill: how Northwood actually makes money Her future vision for the industry and the infrastructure bet behind it   • Chapters • 00:00 – Trailer 00:44 – FCC Space Bureau 04:28 – How Bridgit decided to work on satellite networking 07:35 – From lake to concept 09:57 – Recent announcement at Northwood 12:20 – Where Northwood fits in the ground station as a service model 15:24 – The Northwood value proposition 16:42 – Average utilization of a ground station 18:10 – Northwood's flexibility 19:41 – Key goals in the next few years 22:15 – "I like to be bullish on space because that's what we're all here for" 22:52 – Biggest near-term opportunity 24:09 – How the competition shapes Northwood 25:50 – Segment of the market Bridgit believes has the biggest capacity for growth 26:45 – Northwood x Space Force: Satellite Control Network 29:48 – The state of Northwood today 32:09 – Competing for talent 33:22 – Revenue model with ground stations and how that will evolve 35:43 – What Northwood's next product set might look like 39:05 – Deployment of Northwood's $100M 40:03 – Investor conversations 42:55 – How Northwood fits in the changing landscape of the space industry with the Moon and SpaceX's IPO 45:17 – What keeps Bridgit up at night? 46:33 – Rapid-fire philosophical questions   • Show notes • Northwood's website — https://www.northwoodspace.io/ Ross's' socials — https://x.com/bridgitmendler Mo's socials — https://x.com/itsmoislam Payload's socials — https://x.com/payloadspace /  https://www.linkedin.com/company/payloadspace Ignition's socials — https://x.com/ignitionnuclear / https://www.linkedin.com/company/ignition-nuclear/ Tectonic's socials  — https://x.com/tectonicdefense / https://www.linkedin.com/company/tectonicdefense/ Valley of Depth archive — Listen: https://pod.payloadspace.com/   • About us • Valley of Depth is a podcast about the technologies that matter — and the people building them.

In part two of my two-part field trip to Livermore, California, I sit down with Inertia Enterprises' third co-founder — Annie Kritcher, the chief scientist at Inertia and a longtime physicist at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory.Annie was the lead designer behind the December 2022 National Ignition Facility (NIF) shot that achieved ignition — a self-heating fusion “burning plasma” that produced more fusion energy out than was delivered to the target. In this episode, Annie walks us through what it took to get there (spoiler: not one magical breakthrough), what “the ignition cliff” actually means, and why Inertia is betting that manufacturing and economics — not brand-new physics — is the fastest path to commercial fusion.We talk about:Annie's path from nuclear engineering + plasma physics to becoming NIF's lead designer on ignition platformsWhy the historic ignition shot was the result of years of iteration (and a few duds along the way)The “pancake” shot (and the lab's surprisingly extensive breakfast-food vocabulary for failed plasmas)What it felt like to get the 3:00am text — “I think we got ignition” — and why relief came before celebrationWhy many in the field had nearly given up on laser fusion ignition — and how close the NIF campaign came to being cutWhy other fusion companies pursued different approaches: history, uncertainty, and the (very real) cost problem for lasers + targetsThe core commercialization challenge: scaling to high-repetition-rate shots (think “engine cycles”) and producing targets cheaply enough to fire millions per dayLinks:Inertia Enterprises: https://inertia.com/Everybody in the Pool: https://www.everybodyinthepool.com/Subscribe to the Everybody in the Pool newsletter: https://www.mollywood.co/Become a member for the ad-free version of the show: https://everybodyinthepool.supercast.com/Join our Discord: https://discord.gg/2EsDhwQC2z Hosted on Acast.

Automate 2026 lands in Chicago next week, and Dave and Vlad break down how to work the show floor, where to network, and what to expect from their live booth demos.Automate is the largest automation trade show in North America, and a four day event rewards preparation. Dave and Vlad share tactics refined over five years of attending together. The floor opens at 10:00 AM on Monday, and registration lines have swung from a five minute wait to nearly two hours, so arriving early matters. Monday morning and Thursday are the quietest days to reach specific vendors, while Tuesday and Wednesday draw the heaviest crowds. The hosts also favor the official show app over a paper map for finding booths and session rooms across multiple halls.The real value of a show like Automate often lives in the networking. Dave points to the A3 networking event on Monday, a ticket of roughly 45 dollars, and the Manufacturing Champions happy hour on Tuesday organized by Chris Luckey and Jake Hall. Vlad's advice is structural: build a checklist before you arrive. He researches each company, finds the booth number, and tracks every connection in a spreadsheet so the week becomes a series of deliberate meetings instead of aimless wandering. For anyone with ten or more booths on their list, setting up meetings in advance is the highest leverage move you can make.The centerpiece of the conversation is the live demo Vlad built for the Teguar booth. It pairs a Rockwell CompactLogix PLC with an Ignition gateway running on a Teguar industrial PC, and it simulates a food and beverage packaging line with five assets: filler, capper, labeler, case packer, and palletizer. The line overview screen shows real machine states including faulted, starved, backed up, and running, and the whole point is to make the bottleneck visible. When the case packer needs six bottles from the labeler but the labeler cannot keep pace, you watch the downstream asset flip between starved and running in real time. It is a practical illustration of why line balancing and constraint analysis drive real ROI on a production floor.Under the hood the stack is modern. The Teguar IPC runs Ubuntu with Portainer managing containers for Ignition 8.3, Ignition 8.1, and a MariaDB database for alarm history. Ignition 8.3 ships new drivers for Rockwell, Siemens, Mitsubishi, and Omron controllers along with OPC and MQTT, and each asset carries ten randomized faults written in both Ignition and PLC logic. Vlad built it for everyone from engineers to the decision makers running SCADA and MES projects. Dave and Vlad will also shoot content at the Siemens booth on Tuesday and the Horner Automation booth on Wednesday, and Dave is moderating a Wednesday session on software defined automation and the factory of the future.Timestamps0:00 Welcome and Automate 2026 preview1:50 First timer tips and arriving early for registration3:10 Networking events worth attending: A3 and Manufacturing Champions4:40 Building a trade show checklist to maximize your time7:00 Manufacturing Hub at the Siemens and Horner booths9:50 Vlad's live production line demo at the Teguar booth15:40 The line overview screen and five packaging assets17:30 Fault handling and finding the bottleneck20:10 Inside the stack: Ubuntu, Portainer, Ignition, MariaDB23:50 Random fault simulation and PLC driver options27:00 Who should come see the demo29:40 Vendors Vlad is tracking and closing thoughtsReferencesAutomate 2026: https://www.automate.orgIgnition by Inductive Automation: https://inductiveautomation.comHorner Automation: https://hornerautomation.comAbout Your HostsVladimir Romanov is a co-host of The Manufacturing Hub Podcast and the founder of Joltek, an independent manufacturing and industrial automation consulting firm specializing in modernization strategy, digital transformation, and workforce development.
