Big things coming together at the Cape! 🚀 The team is placing steel for the umbilical support structure at Space Launch Complex 14.

Any role my nomination played in these fireworks is minor and unimportant compared to what is at stake. What matters is reconciliation between the world’s greatest engineer and the leader of the free world. The country needs it...the world needs it.

A stunning static fire from Booster 16 in Starbase this afternoon. Worthy, I dare say, of some slow motion. 📸: NSF - NASASpaceflight.com

New bacteria raise red flags for planetary protection efforts spaceexplored.com/2025/06/07/new… by theresacross

New studies have uncovered previously unknown bacteria aboard China’s Tiangong space station and in NASA’s clean rooms—just as global plans for lunar and Mars missions accelerate. What does this mean for future space travel? 🧬🌌

Standing down from tomorrow’s Falcon 9 launch of Ax-4 to the International Space Station to allow additional time for SpaceX teams to repair the LOx leak identified during post static fire booster inspections. Once complete – and pending Range availability – we will share a new launch date

END OF AN ERA: former ULA infrastructure at SLC-37, used to launch the Delta IV family of launch vehicles, was demolished this morning at the Cape Canaveral Space Force Station. It has been given new life with SpaceX and the Starship program. Lots to look forward to! 📸-

Falcon completes its 500th overall mission! Congratulations to the entire SpaceX team for making the impossible possible on the road to rapidly reusable rockets!

If you're asked to test the new spacesuit - you say yes! #AxEMU

LAUNCH STATUS UPDATE: The launch of a United Launch Alliance Atlas V 551 carrying Amazon’s second Project Kuiper mission, Kuiper 2, is delayed due to an engineering observation of an elevated purge temperature within the booster engine. The team will evaluate the hardware, and

Apologies for the TLDR, but when you step back, it is kind of wild what we’ve all lived through over the last five years. No wonder so many young people are anxious about the future—the ‘disturbance in the force’ feels stronger by the day. I don’t have any grand takeaways other

Now targeting no earlier than Sunday, June 22 for Falcon 9 to launch Axiom Space’s Ax-4 mission to the International Space Station → spacex.com/launches/missi…

Massive explosion as Ship 36 explodes on the Static fire test stand. This will be a major setback as there is likely significant damage to the entire back half of Massey's

Ship 36 experiences a RUD at Massey's during testing prior to Starship Flight 10. Seen in slow motion. Continue to watch live: youtube.com/watch?v=WKwWcl… 📸: NSF - NASASpaceflight.com

Everyday Astronaut Preliminary data suggests that a nitrogen COPV in the payload bay failed below its proof pressure. If further investigation confirms that this is what happened, it is the first time ever for this design.

The horizontal (and it seems even vertical) tanks are surprisingly intact, but the stand and all the metallic framework & pipelines linking it are all toast. Also as expected major parts of the ship ended up on the Mexican side of the river... x.com/clwphoto1/stat…
