"If you ignore Starlink the average launch mass of a Falcon 9 is 5 tonnes (...) - you can't give anybody a discount for not using the full capacity of the launch vehicle. We've selected a throw mass that we think is going to be extremely commercial - if we're wrong, actually, because the diameter of Neutron is so huge, if we need to increase payload capacity, a tank stretch becomes fairly academic." - Peter Beck

What an amazing bottom up view of the shockwave from Flight 12!!!

[Andrew McCarthy @AJamesMcCarthy]

This is probably the best look at the shockwaves I’ve seen from the latest Starship flight.

Captured from a GoPro I clamped onto a proper camera to record simultaneous video. (I’ll show you the photo the better camera took in the reply)

Back in business! Cryo deliveries have restarted today!
Very little else going on around the various sites, that I can find, but with a holiday weekend, that may be the case until Tuesday.

Reunited. Build ☑️ Test ☑️ Stack ☑️ Send...pending...

Look at that adorable kitty that came to hang out while took photos of this Artemis II splashdown piece. She is so beautiful

[Rocket Lab @RocketLab]

Establishing a new constellation in LEO requires frequent launch with precision orbital deployment accuracy. That’s exactly what Electron has delivered for @synspective across 8 missions to date - and we've got 19 more to go.

[Isar Aerospace @isaraerospace]

True sovereignty in space starts with launch. We are joining forces with TKMS to build a sovereign space launch capability for Canada – strengthening the Canadian space ecosystem and serving as a lighthouse project for NATO's responsive launch readiness.

If you ever get a chance to watch a Starship roll out for flight, it's worth it. Always an unforgettable experience. Ship is up next!
