I have no words for what has been happening the last two weeks. Please contact your reps and urge them to preserve the careers and contributions of oath sworn scientists in America.

Up next? Dragon’s launch escape system will be armed to allow the #Crew9 crew members to escape safely in the unlikely event of an anomaly from liftoff to orbit.

During tonight’s Falcon 9 launch of Starlink, the second stage engine did not complete its second burn. As a result, the Starlink satellites were deployed into a lower than intended orbit.

SpaceX has made contact with 5 of the satellites so far and is attempting to have them raise orbit using their ion thrusters.
