🔥🔥🔥 Starship Static Fire 🔥🔥🔥

Artemis II astronauts are doing great. The Orion spacecraft is performing well in an impressive elliptical orbit, and the @NASA_Johnson Mission Control team is taking good care of the crew. Meanwhile, back at @NASAKennedy, the teams are out at the pad getting ready for what comes next. We are going to get into a rhythm of launching Moon rockets around here 🇺🇸

[NASA Administrator Jared Isaacman @NASAAdmin]

After 50 days on the job, visits to every NASA center, a dozen town halls, and reviewing thousands of workforce submissions, it is clear there is much we can do to better empower our people and focus resources on the most pressing objectives.

Getting back to the Moon means getting back to the basics. NASA must regain its core competencies in technical, engineering, and operational excellence, and in doing so, we’ll save up to $1B a year to fund more missions of world-changing science and discovery.

With the directive issued today, we are strengthening the NASA team and executing urgently on the President’s national space policy.

“If you can’t fly, run; if you can’t run, walk; if you can’t walk, crawl; but by all means keep moving.” – Martin Luther King Jr.

Inspired by his words, we push the boundaries of exploration, moving forward for the benefit of humanity.

Super Heavy will generate a sonic boom upon return, which is a brief, thunder-like noise we hear when an aircraft or other object travels faster than the speed of sound

8 minutes to liftoff of Starship!

Starship stacked ahead of its fifth flight test. We expect regulatory approval in time to fly on October 13

The Earth is unfathomably beautiful from orbit. This captures a tiny fraction of the perspective and raw beauty we saw during the mission. 🌎🌍🌏

Thank you @SpaceX for capturing these views and helping preserve the memories. The sound of thrusters firing will forever be one of my favorite melodies.

A little preview of what to expect during our spacewalk from Dragon. Hopefully, we’ll make it look as good as this @SpaceX rendering.
