SpaceX engineers spent several days inspecting Ship 40 in the waters off Christmas Island. They collected heatshield samples and gained vital insight into how the vehicle handled reentry with improvements now planned on future vehicles

@SpaceNosey @SpaceX ¿Qué sería para llevarla desde Starbase hasta Cabo Cañaveral y lanzar desde allí? ¿Qué tal va el progreso de esa torre de lanzamiento?

[Rafa BG @rafael_blagar]

@AJamesMcCarthy Same here. Before I saw craters, now I see a potential base location...

[Airbus Defence @AirbusDefence]

Our C295 Final Assembly Line is currently full with 4 aircraft in 3 different configurations for the @EjercitoAire.

From tactical transport to the Maritime Surveillance and Maritime Patrol versions, the #C295 is proving why it is the global leader in its segment - all while staying true to its Spanish roots.

Proudly assembled in Seville. Ready to serve Spain. ✈️🇪🇸

@Erdayastronaut @NASAAdmin Would they be able to connect them to Starlink satellites? (While close to Earth)

Btw, is there some kind of wifi router in the ISS or do all connections have to be done through cables?

@leRaffl Which factors have you found that make some countries transition way faster than others?
My first thought would be that the smaller the market volume, and the later they start moving to EVs, the faster it would be.

[Gabriel C. Brown @BlackGryph0n]

This is REAL (and I can’t BELIEVE we pulled it off)!

It took months of planning and a stupid amount of math, but I couldn’t be happier with the result!

Best skydive of my life!

Thank you @AJamesMcCarthy for immortalizing it! ☀️🪂🔭

@Emovilidad ¿Y lo que van a ahorrar en sanidad a largo plazo porque la gente dejará de respirar humo a diario, no lo tienen en cuenta?

[Rafa BG @rafael_blagar]

@KenKirtland17 @SciGuySpace Lol, that's a local newspaper from a Spanish city near Madrid, with no relation whatsoever with the aerospace industry. Why are they even writing about this??
It was even hard to find the article, only available on the english version of their website...

@PLD_Space ¿Vais a utilizar un sistema de separación mecánico o explosivo?

[Tesla @Tesla]

World's first autonomous delivery of a car!

This Tesla drove itself from Gigafactory Texas to its new owner's home ~30min away — crossing parking lots, highways & the city to reach its new owner

[Rafa BG @rafael_blagar]

@wholemars They probably have it in ghost mode, running in the background while you drive.

Wasn't this done before deploying new versions?

Por cierto los que queráis ver hoy la final por el ascenso a liga ACB entre Betis y Fuenlabrada ,la retransmiten por la TVG 2. De nada.

[Rafa BG @rafael_blagar]

@Teslarati What is a "return to flight" determination?

[Rafa BG @rafael_blagar]

@wholemars Was that at the beginning Tesla's dinner?

[Rafa BG @rafael_blagar]

@manumazzanti @SpaceX ¿Han conseguido mejorar la cantidad de starlinks por lanzamiento, o es algo que depende de la órbita a la que van destinados?

[Massimo @Rainmaker1973]

This stunning video of the SpaceX Inspiration4 mission launch was made of multiple telescope tracking shots and composed in a neverending loop.

[Rafa BG @rafael_blagar]

@Clemens9876 @piloly Yup, not only in volume but specially due to the higher margin. If it keeps growing in size we could expect Tesla to reach ~20% margin again soon.

🔴 SpaceX pulveriza su record de días entre vuelos de un mismo booster.

El B1088 fue lanzado hace tan solo 9 días, y hoy lo han vuelto a lanzar.

En sus 15 años de historia, el Falcon 9 nunca había podido bajar de los 21 días entre lanzamientos.
