Checking in on the OTHER launch happening on Friday... United Launch Alliance is aiming to fly Vulcan with 40 Amazon Leo satellites, the largest batch the constellation has launched at once.

The 29-minute window opens at 11:54 a.m. CT (12:54 p.m. EST) from Space Launch Complex-41 at Cape Canaveral. ULA's livestream starts 20 minutes earlier.

This first of 38 Vulcan missions for Amazon debuts a six-booster configuration and a new LEO-optimized Centaur V upper stage. https://t.co/Z1voAyl7N9

@PrincessDeixa @charlesboyer @HopperHaus Oh no! The opportunity for her Ex to swoop in and try to win her over!

[MaxQ @MaxQApp]

Willing into existence the idea of a @hallmarkchannel Christmas movie @StarbaseTX called Miracle in Mega Bay 2. We even have a rough synopsis for it. I’ll post it below.

[MaxQ @MaxQApp]

@PrincessDeixa @charlesboyer @HopperHaus Oh we just hit love triangle. This became a real movie.

[MaxQ @MaxQApp]

@charlesboyer @PrincessDeixa @HopperHaus This is clearly where @kate_tice , @whoisheartbreak , and @danhuot are hanging out and make their cameo appearances right?

@southscanner @joelMaxQ In progress.

🚀 Starship Flight 15 is going for the double catch.

Booster 22 back to the tower, then the ship comes home to Starbase about 22 hours later. Liftoff is NET Friday at 4:45 PM CT.

@PrincessDeixa @charlesboyer Since we are in Texas I feel like there has to be a bar scene where they catch up and we get the main bits of both their backstories. Maybe at @HopperHaus

[MaxQ @MaxQApp]

@southscanner Grok imagine movie? lol

[MaxQ @MaxQApp]

@PrincessDeixa @charlesboyer I think we left out the part where when she sees him again he’s too busy with his work to consider a relationship, but her being around make him realize the work isn’t everything.

[MaxQ @MaxQApp]

@charlesboyer It of course has to unnaturally snow at Starbase during the movie

🎖️ Happy Veterans Day!

From John Glenn to Gene Cernan, so many of the astronauts who took us to space served first. All week we've been sharing their stories, and today we're saying thank you to every veteran, in space and on the ground.

Know a veteran who deserves a spot on our Veterans Wall? Add them here 👇

NASA is ready for its next class of astronauts, but space-bound hopefuls will need to move fast. Applications opened Nov. 7 and close at 11:59 p.m. EST on Dec. 3.

It's the agency's first call since 2024, when more than 8,000 people applied and only 10 made the cut. This group could walk on the Moon and help pave the way to Mars.

Never thought I would reach it...

Goals are dreams in progress. Sunday, I checked one off by standing inside the Vehicle Assembly Building at @NASAKennedy.

What a view. #PhotoOfTheDay 138 @MaxQApp

🦅 Happy 251st birthday, Marines!

John Glenn was a Marine aviator before becoming the first American to orbit Earth.

Semper Fi to every Marine and service member who's served. Add someone you're thankful for to our Veterans Wall 👇

A large step in the right direction for @SierraSpaceCo and Dream Chaser!

[Sierra Space @SierraSpaceCo]

Another milestone for #DreamChaser!

The @FAANews has issued Sierra Space a license authorizing Dream Chaser to reenter and land at Vandenberg Space Force Base.

Thank you to the FAA for its collaboration and support of commercial space innovation.

@sparkyinfinity @TheAstroN8 The sonic booms and shaking from the engines is absolutely insane.
