Starship transiting the Sun this morning during Flight 14 — prior to this morning's mission, this has never been captured before with the world's largest and most powerful rocket. I’ve ached over this shot for years, mainly for two reasons: what does methane exhaust look like silhouetted against the Sun, and how violent are the acoustic energy waves from 33 Raptor engines on the Super Heavy booster? Well...now we have an answer. 📸 - @NASASpaceflight

ICYMI: the International Space Station was seen crossing in front of the Moon earlier this morning from Florida’s Space Coast (left image, taken by me). @astro_anil was also looking down from the station around the same time and caught the Florida peninsula lit by the near-full moon (right image).

A look at our pass at the same time. The first city lights are Mexico Yucatán then you will see the Gulf, then Florida on that pass.

The team also made progress at LC-36B yesterday. Roughly 450 truckloads of concrete, lined up bumper-to-bumper and stretching nearly 3 miles up the coast, supported a 4,500-cubic-yard pour for the pile caps. Three more placements to go for a total of 15,000 cubic yards. This is the foundation for our New Glenn 9x4 pad.

Humanity’s orbital outpost and our moon. Can you spot it??? Captured at 1:56:41 a.m. EDT from Florida's Space Coast, the @Space_Station and her crew of 7 were seen crossing the disc of our moon. On board are @NASA astronauts Jessica Watkins, Luke Delaney, and Anil Menon; @csa_asc astronaut Joshua Kutryk; and Roscosmos cosmonauts Pyotr Dubrov, Anna Kikina, and Sergey Teteryatnikov. 📸 - @NASASpaceflight

Module 9 done. Standing tall again at LC-36! The Vehicle Access Tower is fully assembled, with every module repaired and back in place. This was a monumental effort. Proud of Team Blue.

Apollo should never represent the upper limit of what @NASA can achieve. It should be a standard we continuously strive to exceed. We’re bringing that intensity, discipline, and engineering ownership back to this agency. Great nations do not remain great by being caretakers of history, but by continuously making history.

We are not slowing down. 🚀 Our Artemis III mission will send four astronauts to low Earth orbit next year to test critical systems needed for future lunar landings go.nasa.gov/4jzartX and we’re accelerating efforts to ensure the success of Artemis IV, the first Artemis mission on the lunar surface go.nasa.gov/4zV3TLc.

Artemis III slide. 14 day mission. Blue Moon launches first. SLS as ready as possible at that time. SLS/Orion launches. Orion docks to Blue Moon Lander, Flight Day 3. Undocks on Flight 6. Starship launches. Orion docks to Starship on Flight Day 8. Two hours, no entry into Starship. Undocks. End of mission: Reentry. Splashdown. youtube.com/live/f7ioFzmV91s

Module 8 is in. This is the last full-size module that gets flown and puts us at over 430’ above sea level. One more module to go on the Vehicle Access Tower. Then on to the umbilical extensions.
