We are grateful to all our friends, family, and supporters who have come out to NASA's Kennedy Space Center for the launch. The best aerospace engineers in the world are working on the issue, and we promise to put on a great show soon enough!

Quarantine continues…so appreciative of Elon’s message to the team yesterday emphasizing the criticality of making our safety his and SpaceX #1 priority. Makes me even more confident strapping in. Polaris

Rook said it all. It can be challenging at times when you’re building up to game day, but we proceed with cautious paranoia to ensure we mitigate risk. In the big scheme of things, mission success will be that much sweeter for the entire Polaris SpaceX team.

Our Polaris Dawn crew is remaining busy in quarantine in Florida — nothing like formation flying to stay ready for spaceflight!

Spent a couple hours alone with our sleeping Dragon. 20.24 mile run in honor of the Year of the 🐉. Unique facts about LC-39A: - Pad built in 1960s to handle Saturn V rocket - All Apollo & Falcon 9 crewed missions except Apollo 10 have launched from 39A as well as many Shuttle
