[Booster 10 @booster_10]

The pad has been cleared of all debris and reconstruction has begun.

[Starship Gazer @StarshipGazer]

Super heavy booster 20 has rolled out of megabay 1 today for the first time ahead of transport later tonight to Starbase Massey's test site for initial cryo proof testing. This will be the booster for Starship test flight 13.

Starship in True 120FPS Slow-Motion.

Hello shockwaves. Watch the full below.

Sound🔊on: epic fly-by footage of the ongoing Zenith engine testing and Stage 1 structural qualifications happening at our test site in Moses Lake. 🤘🚀

We loved #Starship flight 12 Launch but this #seagull says #f$ckyou Starship! #RockyRoadDay #badflight #shockwaves

One of the landing rails on the Pad 2 chopsticks has been removed.

Well it looks like the flame trench and deluge system at Starship’s Stage 0 survived without any obvious damage. Really great news

Aerial view of the Pad before and after liftoff

Looks like pretty good to me!

We go where we need to be, and today that was @NASAKennedy.

Some of my senior engineers and I spent time at @blueorigin with @JeffBezos and @davill, speaking with the workforce and seeing the damage at LC-36 firsthand. I appreciated the opportunity to hear directly from those working through the aftermath and better understand the challenges ahead.

There is a lot of work to do, but this is exactly why people choose careers in aerospace, whether at NASA, Blue Origin, or across the industry. The talent in this field thrives under pressure and performs at its best when solving the toughest problems.

We have been saying for months at NASA that we are not going to sit on our hands and wait for the capabilities necessary to achieve the nation’s most pressing objectives. We are going to take an active role alongside our partners, just as we did in the 1960s, to overcome setbacks, remove obstacles, and deliver the intended outcomes.

@NASA is committed to helping the Blue team recover, continue to advance their lunar lander and get New Glenn back to launching as soon as safely possible.

America’s greatest achievements in space were never the result of avoiding setbacks. They came from overcoming them. We have done it before, and we will do it again🇺🇸

The aftermath of LC-36 following New Glenn's explosion during its Static Fire test last night captured by D Wise (@dwisecinema).

Overview of the incident:

[Jeff Bezos @JeffBezos]

All personnel are accounted for and safe. It’s too early to know the root cause but we’re already working to find it. Very rough day, but we’ll rebuild whatever needs rebuilding and get back to flying. It’s worth it.

[Steven Bischa @ziggyjo01]

BOOM!! A shame for sure but as Elon says, rockets are hard. Jeff finding out I guess

[NSF - NASASpaceflight.com @NASASpaceflight]

Blue Origin's New Glenn just blew up at LC-36 while attempting to Static Fire ahead of NG-4.

Getting frosty in Moses Lake. 🥶

A thin layer of frost forms around our Stage 1 structure as it fills with cryogenic liquid oxygen and liquid nitrogen.

These tests let us demonstrate structural and fluid design margins, an important aspect of the proto-qualification process. 🍦💡🚀

[Andrew McCarthy @AJamesMcCarthy]

Here’s some behind the scenes of my photo of Starship’s engines. I can’t imagine how intense it would be to stand there ~600 feet from ignition.

[Andrew McCarthy @AJamesMcCarthy]

This is probably the best look at the shockwaves I’ve seen from the latest Starship flight.

Captured from a GoPro I clamped onto a proper camera to record simultaneous video. (I’ll show you the photo the better camera took in the reply)

[SpaceX @SpaceX]

Starship flip and landing burn at the end of its twelfth flight test

[SpaceX @SpaceX]

Starship V3 landing burn over the Indian Ocean

[Steven Bischa @ziggyjo01]

Looking forward to this one. So many firsts. V3 ship, Booster & Raptors and no hot staging ring. Will new connecting rods standup to the rigours of launch, flight & separation? So hope so. And a new launchpad, tower and flame trench to boot. Last suborbital flight? Can’t wait!

[SpaceX @SpaceX]

Starship’s twelfth flight test will debut the next generation Starship and Super Heavy vehicles, powered by the next evolution of the Raptor engine and launching from a newly designed pad at Starbase. The launch is targeted as early as Tuesday, May 19 → https://t.co/2gZQUxS6mm

[Rocket Lab @RocketLab]

Rocket Lab Robotics is coming 🤖

Our acquisition strategy is proven and effective: identify the best space technologies that have struggled to scale, and bring them into the Rocket Lab ecosystem.

That’s what we’re doing with Motiv Space Systems, adding Mars-proven robotics heritage to our rapidly expanding capabilities. As leaders in motion control systems and precision mechanisms, Motiv will also bring in-house traditionally costly and supply-constrained spacecraft components including solar array drive assemblies, antenna and propulsion gimbals, filter wheels, focus mechanisms, and precision drive electronics.
