Look how far we've come
I know it's inevitable but I'm gonna be so sad when I miss a Starship launch for the first time because I've been lucky enough to watch them live all the way back to SN8

Another successful fix ⏤ after 49 years and 16 billion miles! 🔧 Engineers recently turned off devices on Voyager 1 and substituted them with lower-power alternatives. Nicknamed the “Big Bang,” the energy-saving effort will allow the remaining instruments to operate longer.  ½

BREAKING: @SierraSpaceCo's Dream Chaser has received a Re-entry licence from the @FAAnews. This authorizes a return to Vandenberg Space Force Base from Earth orbit. Re-entry, however, requires Dream Chaser to launch, and when (or if) that happens is a very open question. 📷 @SierraSpaceCo

Hull 3, a Haven-1 qualification primary structure, is complete. We manufactured, inspected, and proof tested it in-house in Long Beach in five months, four months faster than Hull 2, the flight structure. Hull 4 is next, allowing us to further refine our process.

Today our team lifted and installed New Glenn's second stage (GS2) at @NASAStennis. The vehicle was tandem lifted from its cradle using the Main Derrick Crane at the historic B-2 Test Stand to lift the forward end, while a mobile tailing crane simultaneously lifted the aft end. GS2 was shifted to a vertical orientation, lifted 218 feet above ground, and lowered into the B-2 test position. A great example of what Team Blue and our NASA partners can accomplish together. Final preparations for our first hotfire test are ongoing.

I decided to go through all known Starship variants and list their development: Starlink/PEZ: Flown and operational Tanker: Active builds with debut flight NET very early 2027 Depot: Unknown but has shared commonality with Tanker and HLS Payload: Unknown but slated to fly in 2027 to deploy Airbus/Japan's Superbird 9 satellite Asteroid: Unknown but has shared commonality with Mars Ship and HLS HLS: Cabin 1 flight-like ground test article to be completed in a month, solar panels already in orbit onboard Starlink V3's Cargo HLS: slated to launch in 2028 to deploy commerical payloads onto the Moon Mars: Shared commonality with HLS and Payload slated to launch to Mars in 2028 Crew Starship: Unknown but shared commonality with HLS, likely NET 2030/2031 for manned flights

Neutron’s Stage 2 and Thrust Module have arrived to Virginia. After a short barge ride from the Neutron Factory, these major assemblies have now been offloaded on Wallops Island and are going through arrival checkouts. Next up: integrated fluids testing and launch mount interface checkouts for the Thrust Module, with Stage 2 to follow on the test stand beside it soon after.

Ship 42 static fires complete. The Starship preparing for Flight 15 performed a full duration, six-engine static fire, and fired a single Raptor engine to simulate a deorbit burn

SN10 in freefall. Seeing S42 and S43 being lifted for catch-related testing is bringing back memories of witnessing Starships hurtling towards earth during the high-altitude testing phase. 📆: March 3, 2021 📷: Canon Rebel T7 Lens: EF 75-300mm

Blue Origin's John Couluris says at the @astrosociety Von Braun Symposium today that the company is planning to activate the rebuilt LC-36A in early to mid December with a New Glenn return to flight still possible before year's end.

I recreated the Artemis III corestage in Kerbal Space Program The new white accents on the SOFI are quite strange and unusual for rockets with SOFI on them but it looks awesome!
NASA has uploaded pictures from the core stage lift out of High Bay 2 and the core looks unbelievably clean!! The SOFI looks way better than Artemis 1 and 2. You can also notice Artemis IV’s engine section now inside High Bay 2 with its boat-tail.

An unstoppable air leak on the ISS' Zvezda module forces permanent closure of its compartment, in turn requiring redocking of all future Russian cargo ships between two ports for cargo delivery and orbit corrections. DETAILS: russianspaceweb.com/2026.htm…
