That unforgettable day at London Heathrow on Friday, October 24, 2003, when British Airways Concordes Alpha Echo, Alpha Foxtrot, and Alpha Golf landed one after another on Runway 27R, marking the end of commercial Concorde flights and a supersonic era.

Planetary defence, even if unlikely to cause anything any time soon, is till an extremely exciting and important thing we should be doing, and already doing.
Everytime I go to Reindustrialize I have to take an odyssean redeye, to and fro across the far reaches of the continent
But I go because it’s important
Our national inheritance, our progeny’s inheritance, our station among the stars, it all requires reindustrialization
@drcrater@NASAArtemis congrats! those samples look incredible. this is the kind of project canadian engineers can only dream about. talent follows funding.
Isar Aerospace is standing down from today’s launch attempt: https://t.co/OsrAILZG7A - they are still detecting off nominal behavior in the vehicle's fluid systems, and the teams are analyzing the new data to isolate the root cause.
Has anyone built the new ve2zaz gpsdo? https://t.co/JGmKHglFpm - I got a lovely Oscilloquartz double ovened frequency standard that I'd like to discipline to GPS.
Lots of misinformation being spread about me the last couple days, so some quick facts
- My name is Tina, not Guo Can (or Jessie Anderson). I’m one of many Raptor flight operators on console since flight2. Before that, I wrote control software for the vehicle, and was a stage software operator for flight1
- Been living in Starbase since surborbital days in 2020, absolutely love it down here. The people are wonderful and so so excited about the mission - the lows are lows but the highs are very high. My friends here are the best in the world, and I love them to the moon/mars and back :)
- The reason I decided to say something was because facts matter, but also because wanted to share my real life journey to how I got here. I don’t have a masters or a PhD, I started full time directly after college after 2x internships also at spacex doing software/automation. I was on a couple design teams in college, including Stanford solar car + mars rover. When I started spacex as a software engineer, I knew very little about fluids / propulsion engineering - I learned a lot of it on the job with some pretty incredible mentors. Then I swapped over to propulsion about halfway through my career and have been loving it ever since
The countdown is over. IREC 2026 is officially underway at the Horseshoe Arena in Midland, TX.
Students and volunteers are checking in, clearing safety and frequency checks, meeting media, grabbing SWAG, and kicking things off with Terrapin Rocket Team.
Let’s go. 🚀
