@NASA_Johnson This is awesome. Congrats @FromCaliToMars

[Amanda Knez @alias_amanda]

@KeenanJohnson Oh yeah, you were there! That’s an awesome photo

[Amanda Knez @alias_amanda]

Definitely a top moment in my professional career. Such an insane milestone to finally achieve.

[SpaceX @SpaceX]

Eight years ago today, SpaceX successfully landed an orbital class rocket for the first time. Since that time, SpaceX has landed Falcon rockets more than 250 times and counting

[Amanda Knez @alias_amanda]

Thrilled to be joining this ambitious space company! #GottaSpinToWin

[gravityLab @gravityLabSpace]

We are excited to welcome the incredible Amanda Knez (@alias_amanda) to our team. Amanda joins as a later-stage co-founder and COO to accelerate our first mission (pun intended) and lead our company’s growth, and we couldn’t be more thrilled!

[Amanda Knez @alias_amanda]

Cool change of scenery for @RocketLab. This one has been a long time coming!

[Bill Ingalls @ingallsimages]

@RocketLab From Arlington, Virginia. City lights, but still pretty cool to see! Congrats @RocketLab

Flight 1 L+7 Update

[Long Wall @longwalldefense]

Due to high winds today and tomorrow, we are targeting our next launch attempt on Thursday 11/17 with a window opening at 1pm AKST (10pm UTC).

[Amanda Knez @alias_amanda]

It’s show time 🚀

[Long Wall @longwalldefense]

Launch windows are daily 11/14-11/21 from 1-4pm AKST (GMT-9)

@THEJimmy_Hex @fireflyspace Soon!

[Amanda Knez @alias_amanda]

Great photos of @fireflyspace’s successful launch today. Congrats to the Firefly team!

New to tech:
I’m proud that my code worked on the first try.

Tech Veteran:
I’m suspicious because my code worked on the first try.

[Peter Beck @Peter_J_Beck]

Feels like something epic should be said but all as I can say is, perfect moon mission success.

[Peter Beck @Peter_J_Beck]

Update: Lunar Photon second burn complete. 6 burns to go over the next week to get to the moon.

[Amanda Knez @alias_amanda]

Go #CAPSTONE! Amazing work by all of the teams involved to make this happen.

[Thomas Zurbuchen @Dr_ThomasZ]

Congrats to the #CAPSTONE team for a successful launch this morning! The spacecraft will explore a unique lunar elliptical orbit, the same orbit planned for @NASA_Gateway – a multipurpose outpost for long-term lunar missions as part of the @NASAArtemis program.

[Rocket Lab @RocketLab]

#CAPSTONE is on its way to the Moon!

A flawless launch by Electron and great first burns by Photon's HyperCurie engine. Stay tuned for mission milestones and updates on the way to lunar orbit in the coming days and weeks. 🚀🌑🛰️

[Rocket Lab @RocketLab]

Next stop? Moon 🌑

Photon Lunar has been integrated onto Electron’s upper stage adapter at Launch Complex 1! This small but mighty spacecraft will set CAPSTONE on ballistic lunar transfer for @NASA and @AdvancedSpace.

[Amanda Knez @alias_amanda]

Seemed like the correct mug to use this week #ItsALittleChileUpHere #RocketLab

[Amanda Knez @alias_amanda]

This has certainly come a long way since the early days of recovery.
