Havent been too active on X this year so many of you have probably not seen the renders I've made, so I put together a showreel for you to enjoy :)

“What’s this?”

“Your next-generation space telescope, sir”

“No, no no, it’s not 2027 yet”

“It’s launching this summer now. We even did it under budget”

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.

Great news!

@Saadusmani78 lollll

[Vooper @Vooper3D]

dude I thought New Glenn was gonna launch like once a year wth is going on

[Asher B. @asherbphotos]

It's New Glenn time again!

T-6 days

[Vooper @Vooper3D]

Damn the launch tower took quite the hit, lucky it didnt fall

[Asher B. @asherbphotos]

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.

@FelixSchlang @Spacepointorg @SpaceX Exit was just as impressive.

[Vooper @Vooper3D]

@mcrs987 @Whateverface381 That seems kinda dumb considering these types of accidents? Theres probably a good reason as to why they are connected this way tho right?

[Vooper @Vooper3D]

So about that

@ThePrimalDino Lolll

[Vooper @Vooper3D]

This gotta be the largest rocket explosion on the pad since N1 right?

[Spaceflight Now @SpaceflightNow]

Here's our video of the explosion at Launch Complex 36. It happened about 9 pm ET (0100 UTC) as Blue Origin was beginning a static fire test of its New Glenn rocket.

Now why did this become my most popular post of all things

[Vooper @Vooper3D]

@Elevatorcait Cuz Falcon Heavy launches once per never and I kinda expected the candence to be somewhat similar to that

[NASA @NASA]

@NASAMoonBase The first of three @NASAMoonBase missions will be the @BlueOrigin Mark I Endurance lander, set to launch NET Fall 2026.

@NASAAdmin Isaacman describes how this mission will send scientific payloads to the lunar South Pole region and reduce risk for future astronaut explorers.
