Hi, I’m SpoxSpace 🚀👋
My bio sums me up pretty good, but here’s a bit more about me,

• I know a lot about the Dragon Spacecraft, following every mission from launch to splashdown
• My page isn’t fully professional, a lot of my stuff is silly

Some of my work:

This is my SpaceX Dragon Interface Recreation 🖥️

My project goal is to make a public and open-sourced interactable interface for the public to use. Identical to what Astronauts on Crew Dragon see on their screens. From launchpad to splashdown, everything will be interactable.

[Dave Limp @davill]

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.

🇫🇷 Today at Choose France, President @EmmanuelMacron announced a historic agreement with Vast for 2 astronaut missions: @Thom_astro to the International Space Station and @Arno_astro to Haven-1. Vast will also establish its European Headquarters in Paris. https://t.co/zOGyyruJwN

@__abysmal Idk, the Crew Dragon mockups were very very similar to the final product

[SpoxSpace @SpoxSpace]

@shanksteroflove Yep, this was included since the beginning in Demo-2

[SpoxSpace @SpoxSpace]

Dragon crew are also given the same diagram in the launch config

Falcon 9 vs Starship startup sequence.
Both very optimised now.

We go where we need to be, and today that was @NASAKennedy.

Some of my senior engineers and I spent time at @blueorigin with @JeffBezos and @davill, speaking with the workforce and seeing the damage at LC-36 firsthand. I appreciated the opportunity to hear directly from those working through the aftermath and better understand the challenges ahead.

There is a lot of work to do, but this is exactly why people choose careers in aerospace, whether at NASA, Blue Origin, or across the industry. The talent in this field thrives under pressure and performs at its best when solving the toughest problems.

We have been saying for months at NASA that we are not going to sit on our hands and wait for the capabilities necessary to achieve the nation’s most pressing objectives. We are going to take an active role alongside our partners, just as we did in the 1960s, to overcome setbacks, remove obstacles, and deliver the intended outcomes.

@NASA is committed to helping the Blue team recover, continue to advance their lunar lander and get New Glenn back to launching as soon as safely possible.

America’s greatest achievements in space were never the result of avoiding setbacks. They came from overcoming them. We have done it before, and we will do it again🇺🇸

[SpoxSpace @SpoxSpace]

@catgirlprostate @Bn5Superheavy I do not think so

What’s left of New Glenn is visible on radar:

@RealestMercury Extremely hot take

[NASA Administrator Jared Isaacman @NASAAdmin]

NASA is aware of the anomaly that occurred tonight at Launch Complex 36 involving Blue Origin’s New Glenn rocket at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station. 

Spaceflight is unforgiving, and developing new heavy-lift launch capability is extraordinarily difficult. We will work with our partners to support a thorough investigation of this anomaly, assess near-term mission impacts, and get back to launching rockets.

We will provide information on any impacts to the Artemis and Moon Base programs as it becomes available.

[SpoxSpace @SpoxSpace]

Can somebody watch my New Glenn? I’ll be right back..

[Blobifi @Blobifie]

New glenn has yet to explode

First look at LC-36 from the air this morning after the explosion of New Glenn last night during a failed hotfire test.
Visible is the wreckage from the destroyed TE as well as the fallen lightning tower. More to come soon.

[SpoxSpace @SpoxSpace]

I've decided to adjust my approach. I will no longer work on the project to its full original scope and intensity. Instead, I plan to continue my involvement in a more gradual and manageable manner, aligning it with my current pace, priorities, and life.

On Tuesday, June 9, we’ll announce the four astronauts who will orbit Earth aboard the @NASAArtemis III mission!
