Today at Starbase Boca Chica TX. With @clwphoto1 a very nice dude!, gave amy kids. Lot of goodie’s! Thanks! Let’s go to Mars!! 💪💪💪🔥🔥🔥🚀🚀🚀

We’re excited for Falcon Heavy to launch the Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope as early as this August from pad 39A in Florida

[Mark Federschmidt @BoosterTribe]

Y’all ready for another awesome Falcon Heavy launch?! 🚀 🛰️

[AstroForge @AstroForge]

We built the spacecraft.

Last month, the major flight hardware of DeepSpace-2 came together on our integration floor for the first time.

This vehicle is headed millions of miles into deep space later this year to rendezvous with and image a near-Earth asteroid.

[Springblade 🇺🇸 @steveMmattison]

I've applied to 5 positions, even the hovercraft driver, I actually have experience driving hovercraft!!
I want to work for SpaceX!! @elonmusk
They would get to own my many advanced space gear designs CHEAP!!

Starlink V3 satellites

Bandwidth per Satellite:
• V2: 96 Gbps
• V3: 1,024 Gbps

Bandwidth per Launch:
V2: 2,600 Gbps
V3: 61,000 Gbps

Deployment per Launch:
• V2: 27 satellites (on Falcon 9)
• V3: 60 (on Starship)

Starlink V3 satellites will begin to be deployed in late 2026 on Starship.

SpaceX was founded to make life multiplanetary. We’ve been able to expand that mission with our Starlink constellation and AI solution

So much winning at SpaceX. Best talent on Earth works here.

At the production site, the Booster thrust sim stand was brought around from Sanchez, heading straight into MB-1.

The 17 ball mounts, removed from LM-2, have all now been lifted back to their positions for re-installation. Lifted along with them were the associated...um...I call them "nut sacks", as they likely contain the nuts n bolts needed for fitment.
@LabPadre

[NASA Administrator Jared Isaacman @NASAAdmin]

This is an incredible achievement. Congrats to all involved on moving so quickly to accomplish this milestone.

[Elisar Priel @ENNEPS]

Starship Booster 20 has made it to Masseys after rolling out from the production site overnight, for its cryo testing campaign, ahead of Flight 13.
Interestingly the roll took much longer then normal, as the SPMTs broke down a few times, forcing a extended stop, and the booster did a little loop of Massey's following its arrival.

[VixXi @VickiCocks15]

RAPTORS! 3 engines, two sea level and one vacuum, have been brought around and moved into MB-2 for install on Ship 40. Seen here as 2 low, red blobs moving left to right just behind that black fence, the 2 SLs were followed by the taller RVac.

[NASA Administrator Jared Isaacman @NASAAdmin]

@shanksteroflove We are announcing the Artemis III crew next week. Tune in, because we will also be providing a confidence update on the mission.

[Starship Gazer @StarshipGazer]

Super heavy booster 20 has rolled out of megabay 1 today for the first time ahead of transport later tonight to Starbase Massey's test site for initial cryo proof testing. This will be the booster for Starship test flight 13.

[Jeff Bezos @JeffBezos]

One week later, incredible progress. It’s a 24/7 operation with a solid path forward to launch this year, helped by a lot of luck. @NASA and @USSpaceForce have both been extremely helpful.

This team. Never tell them the odds.

[TBPN @tbpn]

Impulse Space founder @lrocket on why near-Earth objects and the moon are more important to the space economy than Mars:

"The moon is more important in the near-term. It's easier to have a permanent base there. And everything we need to build a permanent base is on the moon — the metals, water, oxygen."

"Also near-Earth objects. Some of them are easier to get to than the moon."

"Most of them are farther than the moon. But once you escape Earth's gravity, it just takes time to get there. But you don't have a gravity well once you get there to get the material and come back."

The CEO of @FireflySpace, @Jason_Lil_Kim discusses their second mission to the Moon (Blue Ghost II).

While $FLY's first mission was highly successful, the second mission presents increased complexity, as it involves landing on the far side of the moon (a first for the U.S.) and utilizing a three-spacecraft stack.

NASA's CLPS program (which funds commercial deliveries to the Moon) just raised the original CLPS program ceiling from $2.6B to $4.2B in April, a 61% jump to fund a target cadence of monthly lunar landings (9 in 2027, 10 in 2028). CLPS 2.0, the follow-on contract NASA is standing up by end of FY26, is expected to be materially larger still.

BREAKING: Impulse Space Raises $500M Series D

Reaching $1+ Billion in Total Funding to Build In-Space Mobility Infrastructure

aka "Move Things in Space"

Full interview w/ President & COO Eric Romo (@_Eric_Romo) (SpaceX Employee #13)

Founder & CEO Tom Mueller (@lrocket) (SpaceX Employee #1):

"We're building more than spacecraft: we're building the economic & technical engine that will power humanity's expansion into space. From Earth orbit to the Moon & beyond, the ability to move quickly, precisely, & affordably on orbit is the fundamental capability that will unlock a true space age."

We cover:
→ The $500M raise
→ Mira: precision maneuvering
→ Helios: same-day delivery
→ Caravan: GEO rideshare
→ Commercial vs defense
→ Space Force demand
→ SpaceX origins
→ Hiring 200+ roles

The Series D was co-led by @137ventures & BANNER VC. Additional participating investors include Founder’s Fund, Lux Capital, & Linse Capital.
