Starship flip maneuver and landing burn on its fifth flight test. Vehicle improvements ensured flaps were protected from high heating, resulting in a controlled entry and high accuracy splashdown at the targeted area in the Indian Ocean
A spectacular launch and landing of the Super Heavy Booster and Starship. Still unbelievable...
This was an incredible achievement, huge congratulations to the entire @SpaceX team!
Unbelievable satellite imagery of a massive dust storm (haboob) roaring across New Mexico and northern Mexico.
This dust storm, generated by severe thunderstorms, is over 200 miles in length!
Wow! Tom Brady may have just delivered the greatest quote I’ve ever heard.
“To be successful at anything, the truth is you don’t have to be special. You just have to be what most people aren’t: consistent, determined and willing to work for it.”
Happy smiles of the Galactic-07 crew post landing! An outstanding international example of crew bonding, cooperation and friendship built in just 4 days. Memories that will last for a lifetime. Space travel does reunite the World!
It was an honor and a privilege to fly Unity’s last commercial flight during Galactic 07. So much work by so many incredible employees. While we might see Unity flying in a different role, the focus is now on the Delta class. Farewell VSS Unity, you’ve been an incredible ship!
