.@AstroIronMike Fincke has accumulated 549 days in space after returning to Earth today aboard the @SpaceX Dragon with #Crew11 placing him fourth all-time among @NASA astronauts. https://t.co/8xaENp4GDa
The post-splashdown news conference for Crew-11 is beginning now. NASA Administrator Jared Isaacman is joined alongside Joel Montalbano, deputy associate administrator for Space Operations.

Kyiv is the only capital on earth where New Year arrives in silence.
While the world celebrates with fireworks, Ukrainians have to listen for drones.
Wherever you are in the world, think of Ukraine and remember who caused this
Yet another misleading “story” by the WSJ.
The reporters were clearly spoon-fed incomplete and misleading information from detractors with ulterior motives.
At best, it shows a complete lack of understanding of the robust tools used by safety officials to manage airspace, which are well-defined, science-based, and have been highly effective at protecting public safety.
Either way, false narratives like this, based on conjecture and unscientific analysis from anonymous sources, are a disservice to the public.
To be clear, for every Starship flight test, public safety has always been SpaceX’s top priority. No aircraft have been put at risk and any events that generated vehicle debris were contained within pre-coordinated response areas developed by @USSpaceForce and implemented by the @FAANews. These hazard areas cover a conservatively broad region, and any aircraft were appropriately routed in real-time around where debris was contained within the larger pre-coordinated hazard area.
SpaceX is committed to responsibly using airspace during launches and reentries, prioritizing public safety to protect people on the ground, at sea, and in the air.
As we begin increasing Starship’s flight cadence and launching missions from Florida in 2026, SpaceX will continue to ensure maximum public safety while also working to integrate Starship more efficiently into the airspace, just as we've done successfully with Falcon 9.
NASA no longer has any astronauts assigned to Starliner-1. Scott Tingle was on the crew but has become chief of the astronaut office. Luke Delaney was also assigned, but has now moved to Crew-13, per a source.
Next up are the four members of the Crew-11 flight who are launching no earlier than July 31 from pad 39A at KSC. Briefing starts at 1 pm CT / 2 pm ET.

I am categorizing the *launch* as a success since it reached the correct trajectory,
even though the *mission* failed due to problems following propulsion cutoff.
Happening now, @Axiom_Space, @NASA, @SpaceX and international partners are holding a media teleconference to give a mission overview of the Ax-4 mission.
