Taking some inspiration from @astromatthewt, I edited some of my photos to be in inverse monochrome and I cannot believe I’ve never done this before. It’s so cool!
One week to go! 🚀

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.
I still can’t believe that last night truly happened, the scale of the explosion was insane. I feel like many of us get caught up in so much views that its hard to see how much was covered in the blast. It’s literally insane.
Keep your heads up high Blue, you can and will bounce back from this.
Ive compiled all of the live stream views of the New Glenn Booster explosion into one video (mainly for myself) but its also a good way to archive this footage as you can only rewind the 24/7 views up to 12 hours in the past so this footage would be lost to the public otherwise.
Also making use of this blue check by uploading a long ass video.
