@Walmart Will DM, but believe you need to follow me?

[Jim Way @JimWay]

@Walmart Hi. No one at your Waynesboro, VA location on Lucy Lane is picking up the phone. Want to place an order that I can't do online. Any help? Thanks!

[Jim Way @JimWay]

@Walmart Will do. Thanks.

Last week, the AAS staff visited NASA Goddard Space Flight Center. We got a closer look at the groundbreaking Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope!

Many thanks to Jay Friedlander at NASA Goddard for providing AAS with this amazing experience.

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.

A huge thank you to the Virginia Spaceport Authority for supporting the 2026 Student CanSat Competition! 🚀

We can’t wait to see student teams take flight on June 4!

Don’t watch this if you’re feeling insignificant at all or just don’t want to think right now. (MIchelle is just amazing.)

Oof. That won't buff out. Glad everyone's safe.

Here's our video of the explosion at Launch Complex 36. It happened about 9 pm ET (0100 UTC) as Blue Origin was beginning a static fire test of its New Glenn rocket.

Hey @IndyCar, how about making live feeds/streams of things like visor cam available full-time during races?

Why why WHY does @OldGloryDC box kick so much? I really don’t believe it’s a 50-50 chance. We just turn over the ball. Painful. #MLR2026

@UnwantedBlog This plane still looks like science fiction to this day. And took me forever to understand how the nose gear retracted with that centerline pod!

[Jim Way @JimWay]

@TJ_Cooney Yes. Yes it is.

[Jim Way @JimWay]

Looking forward to Sunday evening! Home opener! Everyone should come and check it out. Fantastic sport to watch. Let's go @OldGloryDC!

Charlie Bolden and Wendy Lawrence are two of America’s greatest public servants. When heroes like them are speaking up—especially in defense of our democracy—it’s time to listen.

@geminimoonracer @EShoreSpaceflt Thanks. Too bad.
