Interesting that the Twitter timestamp was cropped out. It's almost like there's something ro hide.

Did an unnamed hero cost Lockheed Martin billions using Twitter?

Looks like it.

Artemis 1 launch was scrubbed yesterday and we still don't know if they'll make the September 2 backup window. We should find out more at a briefing later today. https://t.co/5wfDrAnX8w

[Rocket Rundown @RocketRundown]

Today's Artemis 1 launch attempt aboard the first SLS rocket was scrubbed due to a problem with a hydrogen bleed line in one of the rocket’s four core stage engines. The next launch opportunity is no earlier than September 2.

53 years ago, we embarked on a journey of immeasurable magnitude and promise, when Neil Armstrong, Michael Collins and I launched on #Apollo11. There was risk and uncertainty, but we had the best ground support, and as a team, we successfully launched and we’re headed to the moon

I'm finally happy with the Spain poster. It features the @celestiaaerospc Space Arrow, @PangeaAerospace Meso, and @PLD_Space Miura 1 and 5 rockets. Time to move on to France.

Just in: @Skyrora_Ltd has moved into a new 55,000-square-foot facility Cumbernauld, Scotland. This marks a huge step for the company having moved from a comparatively tiny 2,000-square-foot facility. https://t.co/du6XIiVYfC

After consulting with a few people, here's my quick and dirty explanation of the relationship between @esa, @CNES, @ArianeGroup, @Avio_Group, and @Arianespace version 2.

Should Europe purchase dedicated @SpaceX Crew Dragon missions to the ISS as it develops independent crewed launch capabilities?

[Andrew Parsonson @AndrewParsonson]

It's here! I got a chance to sit down with German #newspace startup @HyImpulseTech co-founder Christian Schmierer to discuss the company's hybrid launch vehicle. It was a really interesting chat - https://t.co/kS9hFGQFMz
