Over a month and a half into its mission, Europa Clipper is healthy and preparing for the mission’s first gravity assist flyby of Mars in March.
Teams have also worked through the deployment of Clipper’s magnetometer boom and radar instrument ⬇️

Some people who hate Musk, and hate Trump want to know my politics when I am excited about SpaceX. I made a canned response I copy and paste.
I don't care about musk, or trump, or politics. Gwynne Shotwell is an amazing woman who is president and COO of SpaceX, but that doesn’t matter either. I care about the 15,000+ SpaceX employees and even more vendors who are working hard to make the human species multi-planetary. As a friend of mine says "Every philanthropic cause in history is rendered useless by one meteor". I carry that further to include, a massive solar flare, one super volcano, or after our sun dies. So I don't care about one person, or one election. I care about the thousands of people who look selflessly beyond their own generation and are working tirelessly to ensure that many generations down the road the human species lives on after our planet Earth is dead.

Coming to Starbase 🎁 The remaining Starship launch tower components from KSC have passed through Port Canaveral and are on the way to Texas! It's normally a 7-10 day trip. 🎥 https://t.co/icguJj64A8
The barge carrying the remaining components for the second Starship launch tower at Starbase departed from KSC early this morning.
However, it hasn’t traveled very far and - based on sat images - seems to be waiting behind power lines that cross over the barge channel. It’s worth noting that tower segments have squeezed through this area before, so the current stop location might be coincidental.
Congratulations @elonmusk and team @SpaceX on all the successes of flight 4. For the first time I only need to slightly alter my infographic for a post analysis version. Thanks for your promise of excitement.
