“We are all . . . children of this universe. Not just Earth, or Mars, or this System, but the whole grand fireworks. And if we are interested in Mars at all, it is only because we wonder over our past and worry terribly about our possible future.”
— Ray Bradbury

Engine ignition and liftoff of Starship on Flight 4 as seen from the launch tower

[Andrew McCarthy @AJamesMcCarthy]

I got the shot!

Battling sickness, uncooperative equipment, and the frigid cold, this may be the most difficult shot I’ve ever done… but it’s all worth it!

How it started v How it's going.

Flight hardware is in production for Neutron's reusable fairing. Humans for scale.

🚨 BREAKING: NASA has detected evidence of huge reservoirs of liquid water beneath the surface of Mars

Scientists believe the amount of groundwater could cover the entirety planet to a depth of 1 mile (1.6 km) 🤯

[Bill Nelson @SenBillNelson]

It took 1,000 people and a million individual components to build @NASARoman's state-of-the-art near-infrared camera. With it, humanity will reveal billions of cosmic objects across vast stretches of time and space.

We can't wait for the discoveries Roman will find!

[Andrew McCarthy @AJamesMcCarthy]

I spent more than 30 hours photographing Orion’s Belt through a telescope to reveal this: these two nebulae that are larger than the full moon in the sky.

This was formatted as a mobile wallpaper you can save as part of my daily giveaway. More coming!

[SpaceX @SpaceX]

During tonight’s Falcon 9 launch of Starlink, the second stage engine did not complete its second burn. As a result, the Starlink satellites were deployed into a lower than intended orbit.

SpaceX has made contact with 5 of the satellites so far and is attempting to have them raise orbit using their ion thrusters.

[Bill Nelson @SenBillNelson]

A new era of exploration means a new era of science and technology. NASA is supporting innovative research as we prepare to venture back to the Moon and then on to Mars.

Learn how fungi could be used to build portable habitats for astronauts!

[International Space Station @Space_Station]

There is no emergency situation going on aboard the International Space Station. At approximately 5:28 p.m. CDT, audio was aired on the NASA livestream from a simulation audio channel on the ground indicating a crew member was experiencing effects related to decompression sickness (DCS). This audio was inadvertently misrouted from an ongoing simulation where crew members and ground teams train for various scenarios in space and is not related to a real emergency. The International Space Station crew members were in their sleep period at the time. All remain healthy and safe, and tomorrow’s spacewalk will start at 8 a.m. EDT as planned.

This is wild. Views of SpaceX's Starship plunging through the atmosphere as the wing starts to burn up.

[Chris Hadfield @Cmdr_Hadfield]

Reentry heat is wicked - I've survived it 3 times. Learning a lot about the difference between simulation and reality today @SpaceX. Congratulations on both soft splashdowns - pushing the envelope right to the edge. Excellent!

[Andrew McCarthy @AJamesMcCarthy]

A glorious ascent. Starship doesn’t disappoint.
