Falcon 9 blazes by the sun this morning during the launch of the launch of the Starfall Demo mission.
Some insane shockwaves are visible here!

The Milky Way hangs silently in the early morning hours yesterday above the expansive depths of Santa Elena Canyon in Big Bend National Park.

@Echo5550 Damn, good thinking looking out for that though!

@TylerG1998 @DavidJDPhotos How was it?

[Kyle Chadwick @ChadwickSpace]

@vincent1701 @asherbphotos I kinda got burned like that for the recent falcon heavy. Delta’s pad was at LC37 which is a shame cause playlinda was probably the best place to see delta as well.

@vincent1701 @asherbphotos Stunning

[Kyle Chadwick @ChadwickSpace]

@asherbphotos @vincent1701 Exactly what I was gonna say. Kirk point riverside park and space view park are also nice. Jetty park is the closest viewing of the old LZs but since theres not a falcon heavy or new glenn going off I wouldn’t recommend it. Closer is always better so i’d go to Playalinda.

True to its name, Never Tell Me The Odds has safely returned to Rocket Park.

THIRTY FIVE FLIGHTS 🚀

Falcon 9 booster B1067 made its 35th flight to space and back during today’s Starlink launch this morning, becoming the first booster to do so.

SHE’S ALIVE!!

New Glenn booster “Never Tell Me the Odds” seen rolling back to Blue Origin’s Rocket Park campus while the team restores LC-36 after the explosive mishap ~a week ago.

Full steam ahead! Hope to see her flying again soon.

Never tell Blue Origin the odds.
For having experienced an extremely violent explosion that took place just a few hundred feet away, New Glenn booster "Never Tell Me The Odds" looks to be in pretty good shape!
Blue Origin rolled the booster back to their Rocket Park facility along with the GS2s to free up space at LC-36 as they clean up and rebuild the pad to hopefully support a launch as soon as this year.

After seeing her roll back to Rocket Park this afternoon, "Never Tell Me The Odds" appears to be in decent shape - and to reiterate what Chris said below, nothing obvious from the explosion at LC-36.

What's most interesting is the booster appearing in a sort of mid-refurbishment state with tape markings in tandem with the wear & tear on the thermal protection system and other hardware. Don't normally see this!

Might be seeing a launch sooner than I thought!🤞

[Dave Limp @davill]

Some LC-36 updates. Now that we’ve had access to the pad and integration facility we can share a bit of good news. The propellant farm, oxygen, liquid hydrogen and LNG tanks are all in good shape. This is good luck because these are very long lead items. The water tower is also good. The big support tower is damaged, but it can be repaired in place rather than torn down and replaced. The booster “Never Tell Me The Odds” and the three GS-2s that were onsite in the integration facility also look good.

I’ve seen some speculation that we might move directly to the 9x4 configuration, but we won’t do that. Rate manufacturing of 7x2 is going well, and we’re going to continue that at pace as planned and store the stages for use. In addition, we had already been working for some time on eliminating our transporter-erector in favor of an alternative vertical conop, and we’ll now go directly to that; so we don’t need a new transporter-erector.

We will fly again before the end of this year. Gradatim Ferociter.
