Amazing landing from the SpaceX team!

[SpaceX @SpaceX]

Splashdown confirmed! Congratulations to the entire SpaceX team on the 13th flight test of Starship!

[Dave Limp @davill]

True to its name, Never Tell Me The Odds has safely returned to Rocket Park.

[Mike Vercelli @Vercelli12]

Man, these things are hard. Congrats to the SpaceX team on landing Ship again! They'll definitely figure out the booster issue on V3

[Zack Golden @CSI_Starbase]

Successful landing on the first attempt of Starship V3!

Way to redeem themselves after the V2 series of issues, especially after losing an RVac during assent!

Congrats to the Starship team!!!

[Mike Vercelli @Vercelli12]

GS1 is a beast

[Mike Vercelli @Vercelli12]

I love landing rockets

[Blue Origin @blueorigin]

BOOSTER TOUCHDOWN! “Never Tell Me The Odds” has done it again!

Next up, launch of AST!

[Blue Origin @blueorigin]

✅ NG-3 integrated hotfire complete.

[Mike Vercelli @Vercelli12]

We have an insanely good refurb team!

[Booster 10 @booster_10]

I don't think people understand just how insane it is that Blue Origin are reflying a booster on New Glenn's third flight.

For reference Starship did it on the 9th flight and Falcon 9 on the 32nd flight.

[Mike Vercelli @Vercelli12]

Blue is cooking up so many things that I didn't even know we were working on this until now

[Blue Origin @blueorigin]

Melt. Extract. Breathe. Repeat. 🧑‍🚀

From Moon dust to fresh air, our Air Pioneer technology turns lunar regolith into breathable oxygen, ready for astronauts returning to the Moon. At our Space Resources Center of Excellence in LA, we developed a reactor (left) that melts regolith simulant and passes a current through it to release oxygen and other gases. The gases flow into the purification system (right) and emerge as medical- and propellant-grade oxygen. A flight-qualified Air Pioneer at this same scale could provide the first breath of life for a sustainable Moon base. 🌕

Nothing more American than sending people to the moon! Go Artemis! 🇺🇸

[Mike Vercelli @Vercelli12]

Today's the day! My space career started with human rating ICPS for Artemis II and III. Godspeed to the crew!

[NASA Artemis @NASAArtemis]

The launch team at @NASAKennedy are GO to begin filling the Artemis II rocket with fuel.

The official launch broadcast begins at 12:50pm ET (1650 UTC). Liftoff is scheduled for no earlier than 6:24 pm ET (2224 UTC). Tanking coverage can be found here: https://t.co/VVJqQrRz4a

The best engine for the best stage of New Glenn

[Dave Limp @davill]

Our engine shop at Rocket Park continues to hum. The next BE-4 shipset is ready for install on our third New Glenn booster.

[Mike Vercelli @Vercelli12]

This is exactly the leadership and urgency NASA needs, and it's up to the rest of us to help them make it happen!

[NASA Administrator Jared Isaacman @NASAAdmin]

President Trump gave the world the Artemis Program, and NASA and our partners have the plan to deliver. We will standardize architecture where possible, add missions and accelerate flight rate, execute in an evolutionary way, and safely return American astronauts to the Moon, this time to stay.

This is the NASA that once changed the world. This is the NASA that will do it again.

We land GS1
Back to the barn in a week

Announced 9 engine New Glenn

Dropped Blue Ring pictures

MK1 is ready for integrated testing and flight next year to become the largest lander to land on the moon.

HUGE WEEK for Blue

[Jeff Bezos @JeffBezos]

The Blue Moon MK1 flight vehicle that will land near Shackleton crater. We’ll soon be doing fully integrated checkout tests. At over 26 feet tall (8 meters), it’s smaller than our MK2 human lander but larger than the historic Apollo lander.

[Mike Vercelli @Vercelli12]

Yeah, we're just getting started

[Blue Origin @blueorigin]

Starting with NG-3, we will phase in a series of upgrades to the New Glenn launch system designed to increase payload performance, launch cadence, and enhance reliability. Read more: https://t.co/7kAvogzmey

[Mike Vercelli @Vercelli12]

Easily the most exciting non-space startup. I grew up around nuclear power and worked at a plant. They're slow and full of red tape. We need disruption so we can have abundant 24/7 power!

[Isaiah Taylor - making nuclear reactors @isaiah_p_taylor]

Today, Valar Atomics became the first startup in history to split the atom.

Announcing Project Nova, a series of zero power critical tests on Valar Atomics' Nova Core in collaboration with Los Alamos NCERC and NNSS.

Nova went critical for the first time this morning at 11:45am.

@johnkrausphotos is the best in the business! I can't stop looking at pictures of our rocket

[John Kraus @johnkrausphotos]

New Glenn clears the tower at LC-36

[Dave Limp @davill]

“Never Tell Me The Odds” returns home.

[Mike Vercelli @Vercelli12]

I'm still so hyped about this. Engineering is magic and this is the best job in the world!

[Blue Origin @blueorigin]

New Glenn successfully completed its second mission by deploying @NASA’s ESCAPADE twin spacecraft, powering on and transmitting data for @Viasat’s HaloNet technology demonstration, and landing the fully reusable first stage on Jacklyn. Learn more: https://t.co/a4PycrFeEP
