Our @NASARoman space telescope is officially slated to launch on Aug. 30!

Extremely optimistic timelines but honestly I kinda love this from Blue

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.

Hear me out: add plants and warm lighting to the interior of Starship.

We experienced an anomaly during today's hotfire test. All personnel have been accounted for. We will provide updates as we learn more.

Blue Origin's New Glenn just blew up at LC-36 while attempting to Static Fire ahead of NG-4.

We see you, @NASAEarth

Here's a view of the extraordinary Blue Planet and its moon, taken by the HiRISE instrument aboard the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter. Happy Earth Day!

The Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope is in final preparations for an early September launch, eight months AHEAD of schedule and UNDER budget.

This milestone is the result of more than a decade of dedication and millions of hours of work by NASA and our industry partners. Their commitment is what’s making this moment possible and helping drive Gold Standard Science.

Roman will help answer some of the biggest questions in science, investigating dark matter, dark energy, and the structure of the universe. Its images will be so large and detailed, there isn’t a screen in existence big enough to display them.

This is just the beginning.

Only one chance in this lifetime…

Like watching sunset at the beach from the most foreign seat in the cosmos, I couldn’t resist a cell phone video of Earthset. You can hear the shutter on the Nikon as @Astro_Christina is hammering away on 3-shot brackets and capturing those exceptional Earthset photos through the 400mm lens. @AstroVicGlover was in window 3 watching with @Astro_Jeremy next to him.

I could barely see the Moon through the docking hatch window but the iPhone was the perfect size to catch the view…this is uncropped, uncut with 8x zoom which is quite comparable to the view of the human eye. Enjoy.

BOOSTER TOUCHDOWN! “Never Tell Me The Odds” has done it again!

[Blue Origin @blueorigin]

Melt. Extract. Fuel. Repeat. 🚀

To build an affordable, sustainable presence on the Moon, we must learn to live off the land. Air Pioneer is a scalable, modular system that creates purified oxygen to reduce dependency on supplies from Earth. Using Moon-extracted oxygen for propellant, fuel cells, and breathing reduces our lunar landers’ load by many metric tons of mass. Launching less mass from Earth lowers the cost of our Moon base, fueling a future cislunar economy. 🌕

Hello, Moon. It’s great to be back.

Here’s a taste of what the Artemis II astronauts photographed during their flight around the Moon. Check out more photos from the mission: https://t.co/rzM1P0QbOl

[Matthew 🚀 @Mach7Matt]

Just iconic image after iconic image

[NASA Artemis @NASAArtemis]

Earthset.

The Artemis II crew captured this view of an Earthset on April 6, 2026, as they flew around the Moon. The image is reminiscent of the iconic Earthrise image taken by astronaut Bill Anders 58 years earlier as the Apollo 8 crew flew around the Moon.

[Matthew 🚀 @Mach7Matt]

Instantly iconic photo right here

[NASA Earth @NASAEarth]

That's us! 🌍

The Artemis II crew captured beautiful, high-resolution images of our home planet during their journey to the Moon. As @Astro_Christina put it: "You guys look great."

[NASA Administrator Jared Isaacman @NASAAdmin]

Nominal translunar injection burn complete. The Artemis II crew is officially on the way to the Moon.

America is back in the business of sending astronauts to the Moon. This time, farther than ever before.

[NASA Administrator Jared Isaacman @NASAAdmin]

America’s next leap is underway..
Godspeed Artemis II 🇺🇸

[Matthew 🚀 @Mach7Matt]

Overall absolutely stunning launch, but man NASA needs to get better at its broadcasts, it needs to be more engaging, better camera views, on board views etc. we cannot have Artemis IV be like this. 😭

[Matthew 🚀 @Mach7Matt]

@sighaboutlife How can anyone see this and not think it looks so much better ? lol, maybe it’s because I’m a casual gamer but this shit feels like the future I was excited for playing games as a kid.

[Matthew 🚀 @Mach7Matt]

I remember thinking years ago this is clearly where lighting in games is going, path tracing in real time never made much sense to me, this is so exciting

Announcing NVIDIA DLSS 5, an AI-powered breakthrough in visual fidelity for games, coming this fall.

DLSS 5 infuses pixels with photorealistic lighting and materials, bridging the gap between rendering and reality.

By studying samples analyzed by the Curiosity rover, scientists have taken another step toward understanding whether life could have ever existed on Mars.

A new study suggests that non-biological sources cannot fully account for the abundance of organic compounds found in a sample collected by the rover.
