An aerospace and defense company built around what already moves.

I spent forty years engineering for the drilling industry around the world, where equipment arrives by ship, works in conditions that punish every shortcut, and pays for itself or gets replaced. Along the way I earned seven U.S. patents and one lasting conviction: the hardest problems are usually logistics problems.

Launch is one of them. For decades it has depended on specialized infrastructure: purpose-built pads and launchers that are costly, few in number, and easy to find. That worked when few adversaries could hold it at risk. It no longer does.

Cretus exists to remove that dependency. Bee-MX is designed to launch from a standard shipping container; Bee-SL, to put small satellites in orbit from a transport aircraft at altitude. Both are engineered from the first drawing for low cost and volume production, so they can move through logistics networks that already exist, in the numbers modern missions require. They’re early-stage, and we’re plain about where they stand.

To leaders in government, defense, and investment who see the same problem: I’d welcome the conversation.
