Holy crap! They deployed a drone from the buoy too?!? This is incredible!!! Now we’re talking! I can’t wait to see this come back to the tower
View of Starship landing burn and splashdown on Flight 10, made possible by SpaceX’s recovery team. Starship made it through reentry with intentionally missing tiles, completed maneuvers to intentionally stress its flaps, had visible damage to its aft skirt and flaps, and still executed a flip and landing burn that placed it approximately 3 meters from its targeted splashdown point

Close-up of the booster after the catch 😲 From afar, it looks like it was caught on the grid fins, but it's actually on the chopsticks with small hooks!

Incredible picture of the ISS by Maxar. Shows 6 different spacecraft docked for the first time ever: SpaceX Dragon, Boeing Starliner, Cygnus, Soyuz, 2x Progress.
They did it by taking one of their Legion satellites —which normally do Earth observation— and pointing it up towards LEO.

Here's a photo from inside our Gen 6 cabin. There's a lot we can do for passenger comfort, safety, and accessibility without needing to have onboard controls. I'm excited for the world to see in a few weeks @parisairshow!

Sooooo many people here at Boeing today to see off the 747. This is a vast building and it's filled with thousands of Boeing employees and guests. #queenoftheskies #ThankYou747

BREAKING: Three years and 10 months after being the first country to ground the 737 Max in March 2019 following two fatal crashes in Indonesia and Ethiopia, China returns the Boeing jet to service with its first flight with passengers aboard.
The first Chinese #737MAX passenger flight has just departed for the first time since March 2019. flightradar24.com/CSN3960/2e…

ICYMI: Tuesday we rolled out our final 747 from our widebody factory in Everett in advance of its delivery to Atlas Air in early 2023.
This marks the close of a historic 54-year production run for the #QueenOfTheSkies

One of the most interesting & complex subjects in aviation right now is how new tech - electric, H2, hybrids, fuels, efficiency, etc - will reshape future products and contribute to 2050 goals.
I’m passionate about building software to quantify this and make it accessible. (1/x)

An exceptionally clear view of the @CityofSeattle at 2pm today when the @Space_Station passed by.
That question: @IsMtRainierOut? ... is clearly answered.
How is the view from below?
