Lead Space Operations Engineer at @SpaceX, Mission Specialist & Medical Officer on Polaris Dawn, Former Space Station flight controller, Proud wife and mom!
In 2019, Elon Musk and the SpaceX team worked through the night on Starship’s tank dome, the most difficult part of the primary structure, as dawn arrived.

@DrMoto71@BGatesIsaPyscho It definitely makes you wonder if they copied SpaceX’s technology or if someone on the inside shared sensitive information. 😬 There’s so much we don’t know behind the scenes.
Qatar Airways is rolling out Starlink at an incredible pace
The airline now has 150 widebody aircraft equipped with Starlink
The latest milestones:
• World’s first Starlink-equipped Boeing 787-9
• Entire Boeing 787-8 fleet already equipped
• Overall widebody rollout now 83%+ complete
• Full Boeing 787 rollout targeted by the end of 2026
• Up to 323 Starlink-equipped flights every day
And the scale is already massive
Since launching Starlink in October 2024, more than 23 MILLION passengers have connected across 86,000+ flights
Passengers can get free gate-to-gate Wi-Fi with speeds of up to 500 Mbps per aircraft
Starlink is rapidly becoming the new standard for internet in the sky
150 widebodies. 323 flights a day. 23 million passengers already connected
SpaceX is changing what passengers expect from in-flight Wi-Fi
Elon Musk reveals why he launched his Tesla Roadster into space.
"I fully expected this flight to fail."
Musk was talking about Falcon Heavy's first flight.
Since he thought the rocket might fail, he didn't want to put something boring on top of it.
Instead, SpaceX launched his personal Tesla Roadster with Starman sitting in the driver's seat.
The car is now traveling in an orbit that takes it between Earth and Mars.
And according to Musk, it could remain up there for around 10 million years.
Imagine taking your everyday car and accidentally turning it into a piece of space history.
🚨 ELON MUSK ON STARLINK:
Starlink will have one single account that covers both your home antenna (with free Wi-Fi) and your phone.
SpaceX will deliver high-bandwidth connectivity directly from the satellites to the phones.
You should be able to watch high-definition videos anywhere on your phone, even in the middle of nowhere.
🚨 HOW CAN ANYBODY POSSIBLY HATE THIS GUY
His name is Elon Musk.
He saved free speech.
He created the first major American car company in generations.
He built SpaceX, the only reason the United States can once again send American astronauts into space.
And he still jumps like a kid when something goes right.
Elon Musk says SpaceX will wind down Falcon once Starship flies reliably several times per week, freeing resources to scale Starship to multiple launches per day
