*Glo Orbit | Behind the Build: The Story of Gwynne Shotwell* SpaceX just went public. You’ve heard of Elon. Now meet the woman who actually built it. Gwynne Shotwell is President and COO of SpaceX, and she’s been shaping the company from the inside for over 25 years. She joined as employee #7, long before SpaceX was a household name, a billion-dollar valuation, or a launch provider for NASA and the world. She’s not a founder. She’s not the loudest name in the room. But she’s the one running day-to-day operations, closing deals, and turning Elon’s vision into rockets that actually fly. Under her leadership, SpaceX went from near-bankruptcy in 2008 to launching Falcon 9, Falcon Heavy, Crew Dragon, and Starlink. Gwynne’s story matters because it redefines what leadership looks like. You don’t need to be the face of the brand to build the brand. You don’t need to follow a traditional path to change an industry. Behind every headline is someone doing the work long before anyone is paying attention. For SpaceX, that someone is Gwynne Shotwell. _Courtesy of Glo Orbit_ #GloOrbit #GwynneShotwell #SpaceX #WomenInSTEM #WomenInSpace #Leadership #BehindTheScenes #SpaceIndustry #FemaleLeaders #STEM

GLO ORBIT: SPACE FEED 🌌 by Komet NASA’s next eye in the sky is almost ready. Meet the Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope. Launching: August 30, 2026 Ride: SpaceX Falcon Heavy from Kennedy Space Center Destination: L2, same spot as James Webb Why it matters: - Field of view 100x bigger than Hubble - Will map dark energy, dark matter, and billions of galaxies - Will hunt thousands of exoplanets using microlensing - Will send back 20,000 terabytes of data in 5 years Roman arrived at Kennedy Space Center on June 21 and is 8 months ahead of schedule. This is set to be the biggest exploration asset NASA has put in space yet. The universe is about to get a whole lot clearer.

GLO ORBIT 🚀 Elon Musk isn’t just building rockets, he’s building the case for humanity off Earth. SpaceX turned “impossible” into launch pads. From reusable rockets cutting the cost of getting to orbit, to Starship being designed for Mars missions, the goal is clear: make life multiplanetary. His public mission is to establish a self-sustaining city on Mars and push exploration beyond the solar system. It’s not a straight line. Early launches failed, funding dried up, and critics wrote SpaceX off. Musk kept pushing, betting everything on getting to orbit. That persistence is now reshaping commercial space travel, opening the door for private missions, satellite constellations, and cheaper access for research and communication. The moment at Nasdaq when he was recognized as the world’s first trillionaire wasn’t just about net worth. It was a public nod to how far the space economy has come, and how much further it can go if humans commit to going beyond Earth. His message is consistent: if we want to secure the future of our species, we have to become a spacefaring civilization. That means building the tech, taking the risks, and making space travel routine enough that the next generation sees Mars as the next step, not science fiction. Africa can’t watch from the sidelines. The race to space is also a race to build STEM skills, launch local tech, and create jobs tied to the next economy. “Humanity must become a multiplanetary species to ensure our long-term survival.” — Elon Musk GLO ORBIT #GloMedia #GloOrbit #AfricatoMars #SpaceX #MarsCity

GLO PRESS RELEASE📣 🔍Jeff Bezos Highlights AI’s Role in Manufacturing and Space at VivaTech Paris🔎 Paris, France – At the VivaTech conference in Paris, Jeff Bezos, founder of Amazon and Blue Origin, addressed global leaders on the future of artificial intelligence, manufacturing, and space exploration. Bezos stated that artificial intelligence will not replace workers but will instead create a labor shortage by driving higher demand for skilled labor and new forms of production. “AI is going to create a labor shortage,” he said, dismissing concerns over widespread job losses. He also highlighted two key ventures shaping this future: 1. *Blue Origin* – Bezos’s aerospace company continues to advance reusable rocket technology to compete with SpaceX, with the goal of making space travel reliable and cost-effective. 2. *Prometheus* – An AI startup focused on accelerating manufacturing. Prometheus aims to streamline production processes, reduce costs, and increase precision, making it easier to turn ideas into physical products at scale. On the long-term vision, Bezos explained that cheaper and more reliable space access will enable materials to be sourced from asteroids, near-Earth objects, and the moon. “If space travel gets reliable enough and inexpensive enough, and we can get materials from asteroids and near-Earth objects and the moon, then this garden planet can be returned to its pre-Industrial Revolution state,” Bezos said. The remarks underscore a broader strategy linking AI-driven manufacturing with off-world resource utilization to expand economic capacity while reducing Earth’s industrial footprint. --- For more updates on innovation, technology, and African impact, follow *GLO PRESS* on http://Glotv.home.vimeo. #GLOPress #JeffBezos #AI #Prometheus #BlueOrigin #Manufacturing #SpaceTech #VivaTech #Innovation
