[Baltimore County @BaltCoGov]

When @astro_reid was a senior at Dulaney High School, the caption under his yearbook photo began with the words “FUTURE PLANS: Fly high.”

Tonight, he’s commanding NASA’s Artemis II—the first crewed mission to fly around the moon in over 50 years.

We’re so proud to be cheering him and his crew on from Baltimore County. We know @BaltCoPS is especially proud! 🚀🌓

@methaloxmatcha Why do those not have any casting tubes?

[Half Cat Rocketry @HalfCatRocketry]

Effective January 1, 2026, the Tripoli Rocketry Association will allow liquid rocket motors at launches!
Years of hard work, demonstration, and collaboration have culminated in this monumental achievement. We are proud to have been a part of the journey.

@methaloxmatcha What are the motors?

[Patrick Morrison @TurbulentSphere]

This was the first time I flew a liquid without any of my own cameras (the L3 killed my GoPro battery). Thanks to @bean7452 for getting some great pics!

@plugger_lockett Nosecone folded/fins ripped off. Not entirely sure what happened but what I saw was pretty gnarly

Not every day you see a 20ft flame out of a high power rocket

@shattybuns_mk2 Wildman's shipping calculator often over estimates the cost and international shipping probably doesn't help. Send them an email and they might be able to give a better estimate

Carbon fin can tube and fiberglass/kevlar nosecone

@josh_barosin @NASASpaceflight Yep

[Bean @bean7452]

My former team blew up a 6" O motor at IREC last month and caused a really neat pressure wave

Thanks to @NASASpaceflight for the footage

[Bean @bean7452]

@_pointyendup yep

[Bean @bean7452]

First test nosecone for BALLS. Next one will be fiberglass/kevlar with a high temp postcure

@cragbot1 Just under .1", 8 layers of light sleeve

@supersonicmia The rocket may have exploded but going viral on Instagram makes it all worth it

“proper and safe disposal of hazardous material”

@CATIAManikin At one point my IREC team was using Solidworks, NX, and Fusion at the same time
