I mentor and volunteer for @FIRSTweets.
I am a @LockheedMartin Game Changer.

If you have big dreams, shoot for Moon. 🚀 🌕

This is what we've learned from our very own space game changer, @bonzack, program planner for @NASA_Orion.

To celebrate and honor the MAVEN team, I'm wearing my MAVEN Mars Orbit Insertion polo shirt today.

SpaceX 1st stage Booster coming into Port Canaveral

We have regained some access to Launch Complex 36 and are actively investigating the hotfire anomaly. We will start clearing the pad soon and have a good rebuild plan in place. The booster and GS2s in the integration facility appear healthy from quick looks.

[Barry Bonzack @bonzack]

What would happen if Artemis astronauts were sitting on the launch pad, and a anomaly happened?

Orion's launch abort system would kick in and save their lives. Either on the pad, or during ascent.

Pad Abort-1 and Ascent Abort-2 flight tests proved it.

Debris from our recent hotfire anomaly may wash ashore in the coming days/weeks. If you encounter any debris, do not touch or approach it for your safety.

Please report the location immediately:

FAA statement about last night's New Glenn on-pad explosion.

[Jeff Bezos @JeffBezos]

All personnel are accounted for and safe. It’s too early to know the root cause but we’re already working to find it. Very rough day, but we’ll rebuild whatever needs rebuilding and get back to flying. It’s worth it.

[Eric Berger @SciGuySpace]

Blue Origin's return to flight so soon after an upper stage anomaly is seriously impressive. It looks like they're making good on efforts to improve New Glenn cadence.

@blueorigin Glad all employees are safe.

[Blue Origin @blueorigin]

We experienced an anomaly during today's hotfire test. All personnel have been accounted for. We will provide updates as we learn more.

1st reply gets that crew. Your crew cannot be an exact repeat of a crew in an earlier reply. However, It can be the same astronauts sitting in different seats.

We have awarded @AstroLab_Space with a lunar terrain vehicle award. Their Crewed Lunar Vehicle is a rover designed to transport astronauts and supplies across the lunar surface.

This vehicle will be deployed to the Moon by 2028 through our commercial lunar payload services initiative.

Thank you to the 31 university students who traveled to DC to join us this week. They are interns, researchers, and the future of the space industry!

[Lifeboat Foundation @LifeboatHQ]

@SpaceX 12th test really undersells how long Elon has been working at Starship which is over 7 years. This is really the 23rd test, starting with two tethered tests with a baby Starship. Here is video of the 4th test which got pretty high up!
