The SpaceX Recovery team is still working to recover Flight 13’s Starship from the Indian Ocean. They’ve been overcoming challenging conditions and increasingly rough seas as they attempt to guide the 52m long spacecraft to port

What's better than a day at Rocket Park? Astronauts stopping by. 🚀

We were thrilled to welcome @NASAArtemis III Astronauts Randy Bresnik (@AstroKomrade) and Frank Rubio to Rocket Park this week! These incredible astronauts represent the future of lunar exploration, and we're excited to support the Artemis III mission with our Blue Moon MK2 Earth Orbit Rendezvous demonstration vehicle.

On July 20, 1969, Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin became the first humans to walk on the Moon.

@Ekij13 @stratospunky It doesn’t leave the pad on 33 during a 22 second static fire. if held down it won’t leave.

@mikepat711 @ShillingdaTruth Refresh cars as in this video is either a 2024+ highland m3 or a 2026+ model y juniper do NOT have autopilot. It only has FSD. only the older versions of the car have autopilot and FSD as separate.

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.

We go where we need to be, and today that was @NASAKennedy.

Some of my senior engineers and I spent time at @blueorigin with @JeffBezos and @davill, speaking with the workforce and seeing the damage at LC-36 firsthand. I appreciated the opportunity to hear directly from those working through the aftermath and better understand the challenges ahead.

There is a lot of work to do, but this is exactly why people choose careers in aerospace, whether at NASA, Blue Origin, or across the industry. The talent in this field thrives under pressure and performs at its best when solving the toughest problems.

We have been saying for months at NASA that we are not going to sit on our hands and wait for the capabilities necessary to achieve the nation’s most pressing objectives. We are going to take an active role alongside our partners, just as we did in the 1960s, to overcome setbacks, remove obstacles, and deliver the intended outcomes.

@NASA is committed to helping the Blue team recover, continue to advance their lunar lander and get New Glenn back to launching as soon as safely possible.

America’s greatest achievements in space were never the result of avoiding setbacks. They came from overcoming them. We have done it before, and we will do it again🇺🇸

RUD (rapid unscheduled disassembly) events are not unusual in the rocket world

@Linklevosstwins @Amazonleo @blueorigin If you work for 1 company and ur business owner starts another, do you expect a double paycheck? Makes no sense.

[SpaceX @SpaceX]

Starships are meant to fly @NICKIMINAJ

[Jeff Bezos @JeffBezos]

Thank you. The important part is zeroing out taxes on the bottom half. Best way to put money in someone’s pocket is to not take it out in the first place. Bottom half is only 3% of total tax revenue. But it’s very meaningful to that person. Zero it out.

Alabama is proud to be home to @blueorigin!

The innovative developments we’re seeing happen in the global aerospace industry couldn’t be done without ALABAMA. #alpolitics

@redacteduser23 @davill Look up what NG-2 delivered…

[Colby Pace @ColbyZX10]

@Jacob202001 @mirandahw_ Stage 2 has a 2/3 success rate btw.

@jordcortasa @spacanpanman We have a blue ring demo up there and 2 satellites heading to mars but ok
