The first Starship to return to its launch site, Ship 40's journey took it across air, space, and sea. Now that it is vertical alongside three other Starships in a Megabay at Starbase, it will provide first-of-its-kind data on a flown Starship heatshield, Raptor engines, avionics, and more.

This composite is made of imagery from four separate cameras on a single satellite. Six of the satellites were equipped with cameras to scan Starship’s heat shield and transmit imagery down to operators to continue testing methods of analyzing Starship’s heat shield readiness for return to launch site on future missions
I hadn’t planned to share this quite so soon, but you guys are observant.
Today was my final day at @FcpnchStds working on @playrust.
Nearly thirteen years ago, I discovered a game called Rust. Nearly eleven years ago, I was given the incredible opportunity to work on it by @garrynewman and @Helkus
I joined Facepunch from the community and worked my way up to COO and Executive Producer on Rust, originally from QA. Today, I’m stepping away and returning to where I started: as part of the community.
Rust and Facepunch have consumed a huge part of my life. I’ve loved it, fought for it and given it everything I had. Leaving has been one of the hardest decisions I’ve ever made, but I’m incredibly proud of what we’ve achieved. I've live my 10 year old dream.
Rust has one of the best development teams in the industry. For more than a decade, they’ve delivered monthly updates without fail, constantly improving, experimenting and pushing the game forwards. I’m proud of the culture we built and the legacy I leave behind.
Rust is currently reaching some of the highest numbers in its 13 year history across multiple platforms. Rust Mobile is also well underway, and I’m incredibly proud to have worked so closely with that team and helped bring Rust to an entirely new audience.
It's not always easy running a game of this scale, but I fucking loved it. Rust has made gaming history.
None of this would exist without the community. A game is nothing without the people who play it, support it, create content around it, run servers, make mods, report issues and continue play. You’ve challenged us, frustrated us, inspired us and helped shape Rust into what it is today. I’ll always be grateful for that.
Looking at you /r/playrust - you're a confusing bunch.
I don’t have another job or some big new adventure lined up, but I can't wait to see what next sparks my passion.
The years I dedicated to Rust inevitably took time away from other parts of my life. Now it’s time to give some of that time back into the areas I sacrificed.
Thank you to everyone at Facepunch, our partners, the creators, server owners, admins, modders, mappers, [you] and the tens millions of players who made this journey possible.
I’ll still be around. Just back in the community where it all began. 🫡
It's being a wild ride.

@72BMustapha@Wise Best way to get answers is complain via BBB. Was the only way I managed to get some of my accounts back after they closed multiple business's all because I had them linked under one email.
@Frawzt@Shadow_frax@playrust I feel like its missing a large part of how Modded Rust more or less shaped rust and makes up MOST of rust audience by a huge %.
@nikitabier @jrwtyndall Can you fix embeds? It's been years everyone has to use fxtwitter to embed things on discord etc. Videos are completely broke. Content is way too small.

We're updating Tiltify once a day, to reflect the in-game purchases of the bears, this has to be done manually by Tiltify.
Once sales begin to slow, we'll do this every few days.
Large backpack ($100k) will be unlocked later today.
Huge thank you to everyone raising and donating <3
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.
