One potential culprit in yesterday's Site 31 accident — the failure to install a stopper that had to secure the mobile service platform inside its shelter before launch.

I'm launching a campaign for U.S. Senate. I'm seeking to serve Texas because I love my country—I believe in its ideals and values. I'm an Air Force Colonel and an astronaut, but really, I'm an American first, a Texan second, and a common-sense Democrat 3rd. It's time for change.

Mission success for 'Symphony In The Stars' caps off a busy month of Electron launches:
✅Fastest launch turnaround from LC-1
✅Four missions in June
✅Ten launches this year with 100% mission success

Star field showing M31, Andromeda and M33, the Pinwheel in Triangulum. The red is f-region atmospheric airglow coupled with some red and green aurora near the soon to rise sun with streaking city lights. Time exposure taken from Cupola using my homemade star tracker.

Second stage engine cutoff confirmed. New Glenn’s second stage and payload are now in orbit. Another burn coming up...

One photo with: Milkyway, Zodical light, @Starlink satellites as streaks, stars as pin points, atmosphere on edge showing OH emission as burned umber (my favorite Crayon color), soon to rise sun, and cities at night as streaks. Taken two days ago from Dragon Crew 9 vehicle port window.

Star trail from ISS; I think these are a blend of both science and art. There is so much techno-geek stuff to see, or you can simply sit back and think “How cool”.

This one shows atmospheric airglow, yellow-green at 120km and the fainter upper red at 400km, star trails moving in arcs on the left and straight lines on the right, Starlink satellites flashing sunlight off their solar panel, the Cygnus cargo vehicle (left), my Soyuz vehicle (center), and the Russian laboratory module MLM (right).

So full of techno-cool and art-cool.

Galveston at night. I have a lot of good memories from Galveston, and snapping photos brings me back to the beaches, even when on orbit and at night.

The #Starliner spacecraft is back on Earth.

At 12:01am ET Sept. 7, @BoeingSpace’s uncrewed Starliner spacecraft landed in White Sands Space Harbor, New Mexico.

[Boeing Space @BoeingSpace]

#Starliner landed today at White Sands Space Harbor in New Mexico at 12:01 a.m. ET on Sept. 7 (10:01 p.m. MT on Sept. 6). Teams on the ground welcomed the spacecraft and are now preparing to transport Starliner back to Florida for analysis and refurbishment.

Touchdown #Starliner.

[Boeing Space @BoeingSpace]

#Starliner now continues its return to Earth. Our next update will be at ~10:50 p.m. ET when the landing broadcast begins: https://t.co/vKgNLD7N54

The initial phase of Starliner's return to Earth has gone smoothly. The next major milestone will be a deorbit burn to enter Earth's atmosphere at 11:17 pm ET (03:17 UTC Saturday).

The space environment is a great model system for looking at new drugs and ways to approach problems we all face as human beings. For example, an osteoporotic woman here on the ground can lose about 1% of her bone mass a year. In space, it's about 1% a month, which is one of the reasons that astronauts are required to exercise 2 hours a day.

[Eric Berger @SciGuySpace]

The report suggests Gateway is behind schedule and of limited use to lunar and Mars landings. It suggests Gateway will be complex to undertake at the same time NASA attempts to establish a lunar surface program. Other than that, everything is going great.
