Starship transiting the Sun this morning during Flight 14 — prior to this morning's mission, this has never been captured before with the world's largest and most powerful rocket.

I’ve ached over this shot for years, mainly for two reasons: what does methane exhaust look like silhouetted against the Sun, and how violent are the acoustic energy waves from 33 Raptor engines on the Super Heavy booster?

Well...now we have an answer.

45 years ago today, Columbia became the first crewed spacecraft to return to orbit.

STS-2 launched from LC-39A on 12 November 1981 with Joe Engle and Richard Truly.

A fuel cell failure cut the flight from five days to just over two, but around 90 per cent of the objectives were met, including the first in-orbit tests of the Canadian-built robotic arm, Canadarm.

It's roll day!

A dedicated processing lane to launch Amazon's advanced broadband satellite constellation using United Launch Alliance optimized heavy-lifting Vulcan rockets and purpose-built infrastructure is ready to support its first launch at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station, Florida.

The rollout of the Vulcan Leo 1 rocket from the Amazon Vertical Integration Facility (VIF-A) to Space Launch Complex-41 marks the start of dual launch processing lanes for ULA operations at the Cape.

Launch of this 10th ULA mission for the Amazon Leo global broadband network is targeted for Friday during a window opening at 12:54 p.m. EST (1754 UTC).

Earlier today, I had the honor of dedicating a recovered piece of our New Glenn booster bearing the American flag to the veterans of Blue Origin. It reminds us that not every mission goes as planned, but our commitment to the mission never wavers. To the more than 1,900 veterans at Blue: thank you for your service and sacrifice.

Initially the team thought I was not being serious…..
But, it just had to be a gold.
