Wheels up for NASA’s X-59. ✈️

In its first wheels-up flight, the aircraft revealed its sleek, streamlined design—key to reducing sonic booms to a quiet thump.

See how this milestone moves us closer to quiet supersonic flight over land:

I personally liked the night launch of @NASAArtemis 1 mission over the day launch of Artemis 2.

Am I the only person with this opinion?

[NASA @NASA]

@Space_Station @NASAArtemis On that note: If the @Space_Station touched down on the #SBLX football field tonight, you’d see they’re very nearly the same size! The orbiting lab is 357 feet end-to-end – almost the same size as a football field, including both end zones.

Can you read 900 words per minute? Try it.

I bought Minecraft Java about 15 years ago for like $6, and I’m still getting free updates to this day. No ads, no DLCs, no battle pass. Thousands of hours played. Probably the best purchase of my life.

We saw the Starship 8 breakup in the upper atmosphere and fall back to earth from the ISS.

Just saw that one of my tweets was in the @xai Grok 3 launch last night.

Being a space fan is a really brutal hobby if you like sleeping

@blueorigin does not have a clock on its webcast, but with the show being highly scripted, it's a safe bet to say that they are targeting 1:30 am eastern.

[Shooter McGavin @ShooterMcGavin]

Not shocked at this news. This is the same airline that inexplicably let Kevin McCalister board the wrong plane in ‘92.

[Patrick Colquhoun @Patrick_Colqu]

@BCCarCounters This is such a wrong take

[SpaceX @SpaceX]

Mechazilla has caught the Super Heavy booster!

[Booster Tracker @BoosterTracker]

Starship Flight 5 will mark SpaceX's 399th launch and 1st Super Heavy catch attempt.

Here’s one of my favorite photos I’ve ever captured: the moment the international space station transited the lunar terminator, captured in broad daylight using a 14” scope.

These shots require precise planning and a bit of luck to pull off, and I still can’t believe it’s real!

If Britain landed on the moon first.

Super Heavy landing burn and soft splashdown in the Gulf of Mexico

Side note, more colleges need to do a challenge coin

[Patrick Colquhoun @Patrick_Colqu]

I did a thing!

It’s been a blast for the past 4 years at University of Wisconsin Milwaukee but like all good things it must come to an end.
