Very clear summary of tomorrow's complex Starship test flight. Great for visualization - thanks for making it, @InfographicTony!
Lots to learn with this key 100% reusable technology for access to Earth orbit & beyond - good luck to all the employees @SpaceX!
Fifty years ago, two nations launched a mission that proved space could bring the world together.
On July 15, 1975, NASA launched the Apollo spacecraft for the Apollo‑Soyuz Test Project — the first international human spaceflight mission. The Apollo and Soyuz crews carried out joint experiments, shared meals, and performed the first international docking in orbit. Their work laid the foundation for decades of partnership that followed, including Shuttle‑Mir and today’s International @Space_Station.
LIVE: @astro_anil is about to embark on his first-ever spaceflight! Watch as a new crew launches to the @Space_Station at 10:47am ET (1447 UTC). https://t.co/tXThOUzdir
The largest nuclear bomb in outer space exploded 64 yrs ago today.
Starfish Prime was a 1.4 megaton thermonuclear warhead, detonated at the altitude the Space Station now orbits. It created man-made radiation belts that wrecked many satellites & lasted 5+ years.
A year after the test the USA & USSR signed the Partial Nuclear Test Ban Treaty, leading to the global 1967 Outer Space Treaty.

I first met Jeremy when he was an RMC cadet in the 90s, and then when we selected him as one of Canada's new astronauts in 2009. His recent voyage around the Moon was an inspiration to millions; the direct result of decades of hard and dangerous work. Thanks, Jeremy for your 32 years of service, welcome home, and I can't wait to see all you'll do next!
Data update: latest lunar imagery confirms that Canada's shooting range now extends past the upper atmosphere. 🛰️⚽
Sending energy to @CANMNT_Official for today’s match against Morocco!
Whole country (and orbit) is behind you! 🍁
The Nation’s capitol will feel the power of NASA Aeronautics today! ✈️
The agency’s Armstrong Flight Research Center, joined by aircraft from @NASAJohnson, will ignite the skies with a @Freedom250 flyover bursting with energy, pride, and aerospace brilliance.
Happy Independence Day! 🇺🇸
