Views from onboard Starship's tenth flight test

📣 Announcement: ispace and Magna Petra Corp. sign Payload Service Agreement to deliver NASA’s MSOLO instrument to the Moon Under the agreement, ispace-EUROPE will integrate a 🚀NASA-developed Mass Spectrometer Observing Lunar Operations (MSOLO) instrument into its upcoming

My best sighting of a Starlink satellite "train" from orbit!

Every second, the Sun ejects 1.5 million tons of material into space at hundreds of miles per second, but Earth's magnetic field protects it from the solar wind. 📽: NASA Goddard

Starship ascends to space

Over the span of a year you can see 59% of the moon from Earth. 🌖 🌗 🌔 While the moon is tidally locked due to asymmetry in its mass (its heavier side always faces us), we get slightly different angles from its elliptical orbit and axial tilt.

I am really liking the energy and focus on the Moon--especially any endeavor that could unlock an orbital or lunar economy. We are never going to have the future we dream of w/numerous space stations and lots of people working and traveling in space, if it all depends exclusively

Immense planning and technical precision was required for this absolutely preposterous (but real) view: I captured my friend Gabriel C. Brown transiting the sun during a skydive. This might be the first photo of it's kind in existence. See a video of this moment in the reply 👇

Here's the full photo briefly featured in my recent video post showing Gabriel C. Brown against the full solar chromosphere after his jump. Crazy how small he looks despite being nearly 50,000,000x closer! This ended up being my most popular print (vs the closeup) linked in my bio.

On my first day as NASA Administrator, President Donald J. Trump signed the boldest directive for American leadership in space since President Kennedy. That vision and support is going to give us the momentum we need to propel America back to the Moon, to Mars, and beyond 🇺🇸🚀

Our number one priority: American leadership in the high ground of space. 🇺🇸 - return to the Moon 🌕 - establish an enduring presence 🧑‍🚀 - realize scientific, economic, national security value 🧫 - make investments in nuclear power 🔋 - strengthen the orbital economy 💵 -

おはようございます！ 仕事の隙間を狙っての撮影が続いています。 私がまもなく帰還するのを知って、太陽さんが頑張ってくれたのか、とても美しいオーロラを撮影する事が出来ました。 撮影できた事も嬉しかったですが、何より映像を見て皆さんが喜んでくださる様子を思い浮かべ、1人で微笑みました笑。

Mikel DeFrancesco Jared Isaacman 1. We are going to the Moon for many reasons, including that it is our destiny to explore the unknown in space and lead in world-changing science and discovery. A lunar economy, which may involve He-3, is just part of the story. 2. You do not need to downmass 150 tons of

The D-21 flew in the 1960s — uncrewed, high-speed stealth with Skunk Works® technology. Today, we continue to develop and fly cutting-edge uncrewed systems. Most are classified — maybe we’ll share a few photos in the next 60 years...🦨

On December 8, the Perseverance rover safely trundled across the surface of Mars. This was the first AI-planned drive on another planet. And it was planned by Claude.
