A new 3D print in the works! It's a big one at 60:1 ratio and all parts snap together no glue used! Legs fold up and snap closed and fairing doors open and snap closed for smooth second stage separation. Stage 2 on the printer now... #Neutron #RocketLab #3dprint

Beautiful animations!
The next Starship launch, Flight 15, will feature something never attempted before, ever. Catching a rocket from ORBIT! Yes, they've caught the booster before, but now it's time for the ship, and it's going to be EPIC!!! Music: "Liquid Cargo" by Everyday Astronaut (find it anywhere you stream music) @SpaceX @elonmusk

They keep improving this incredible place!
Rocket Ranch: canvas tents on wooden decks, right on the Rio Grande. Twin beds or queen? Which would you pick? Link in bio. #Glamping #RioGrande #SouthTexas #Starbase #RocketRanch

In celebration of World Space Week 2026, I thought I would reshare my Apollo 11 infographic. This single mission set me on an artistic path that I have followed my whole life, and in 2019, when I illustrated this mission to celebrate its 50th anniversary, it marked the beginning of my new career as a full-time aerospace concept artist. I am ready to be inspired again. Go Artemis! Happy Space Week, everyone.

Well said!
Oh man 😪 this is hard to see. My heart goes out to all those who have worked so hard on this pad and on the vehicles. Return to flight will be triumphant after such a major hit.

Its launch day! Get hyped with this new edit of #Starship ! Shown are most of the major milestones that got us to where we are today. From #Starhopper (August 2019) to IFT-3 (March 2024) I need to add the last 2 years?... #SpaceX #rocket #launch #CGI #animation #notscifi

Very cool company 😉
A gas station with a view⛽ During deep space missions, spacecrafts will need to refuel. So, NASA and Eta Space are working on a technology demonstration called LOXSAT that is necessary for creating in-space propellant depots - aka gas stations. 🔗 go.nasa.gov/3RclkFQ

This entire animation was based on this concept image which is out of date now that they have finished their actual launch complex.

Keeping my eyes on these folks!
From factory floor to installed on stand in less than 18 hours - not bad for SN1!

Shipping Starships! I have had some fun building a few videos of what it might look like when @SpaceX ships their ships. They will most likely protect the #starship with a tarp or more but then we cant see it so I left that out.

More amazing infographics from the great @InfographicTony
SLS Artemis II (unofficial) web infographics: Parts 1 to 4 of a 16-part series (Parts 5 to 8 tomorrow). This is essentially my main infographic poster, broken down into multiple parts, suitable for PowerPoint presentations or printing at A3 size. Note, there may be updates as more mission details are revealed to the public.

I’m super excited for Artemis II. Been waiting my whole life for this first step back out there. But the media environment is so different today, and the world is vastly different as well. So far I have not seen this break through. Hopefully it does. Amazing crew to cheer on.
I'm honestly SHOCKED at how the general public has NO IDEA Artemis II is taking humans out to the moon and will be the furthest humans have ever flown. Every non-space nerd I've talked to has no idea. WE GOTTA GET PEOPLE STOKED!!!! THESE FOUR HUMANS ARE FLYING TO THE MOON!!!
