One of the coolest jobs in exploration is be a Principal Investigator. Blue’s Chief Scientist Steve Squyres was the PI for the scientific payloads on Spirit and Opportunity, the intrepid Mars Rovers. Fun conversation on the Ascending Node, out next week! Here's a clip to hold you over.
🚀BREAKING: David Limp (@davill) @BlueOrigin CEO interviewed by former @NASA astronaut Mike Massimino (@Astro_Mike) at #VivaTech! One is building the rockets. The other has flown on them. A unique opportunity to understand what the future of space looks like. Don't miss it!
Ambitious is what we do at NASA.
Artemis III will be unlike anything we’ve ever undertaken. A multi-launch campaign bringing together the most powerful rockets in the world to test rendezvous, docking, and interoperability across multiple systems close to Earth before we return astronauts to the lunar surface.
This is how we get into the rhythm of the missions that follow. You give NASA and our industry partners a year, we’ll get the job done.
@planet4589@Cyfosta Sorry Jonathan, I don’t have the specific coordinates in my head. Might be a better question for the main Blue account. But I get your point.
Progress continues at LC-36. Starting to move GS2s from the Integration Facility to Rocket Park as we clean up and rebuild the pad. A couple more GS2s and Never Tell Me The Odds to follow. Great work, Team Blue.
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.
