For Easter morning on the Space Station, I'd secretly brought chocolate-filled eggs, and Velcroed them as gifts outside everyone's sleep pods. A touch of home.

SpaceX completed 18 successful missions in 2017, launching flight-proven rockets and spacecrafts for the first time. It was a record-setting year and we were just getting started on our path toward a more exciting future.
Watch the full company talk with

Ah yes. The 787 and Falcon 9, some of the most reliable vehicles in their class, are definitely comparable to an experimental sub nobody in the industry supported or a door stop car
If you’re gonna make a post like this at least try harder
Small Ukrainian plane - modified to fly without a pilot - crashes into industrial building in Yelabuga, Russia.
More than 800 miles (1,300 km) from the border, it's Ukraine's deepest strike into Russian territory since the war began. 12 people were injured.
Unfortunately, the

voted in favor of the resolution to give more of Boca Chica Beach to SpaceX.
We will continue to speak out about the harms of SpaceX.
Yeah but humanity never will. It's a fucking pipe dream. It's absurd that we're sending *more* people to the moon, a complete waste of money and time.
Humanity's future is and was never among the stars. It's right here. Stop using childish fantasy to distract yourself from life
We’re working toward qualifying our fleet of Falcon boosters and fairings to support 40 missions each. Increasing Falcon's flight count provides valuable information on repeated reuse, a critical element for making life multiplanetary with Starship
Things China needs to do before 2026.
1️⃣Sail our carrier battle groups to Hawaii.
2️⃣Fire a salvo of ballistic missiles over Hawaii as our carrier group approaches.
3️⃣Scrap the "No First Use" nuclear weapon policy.
This will serve as China's Great White Fleet moment.
Starship completed its rehearsal for launch, loading more than 10 million pounds of propellant on Starship and Super Heavy and taking the flight-like countdown to T-10 seconds
New images confirm the

sustained rotor damage during Flight 72. Our helicopter has flown its final flight.
Ingenuity defied the odds and captured our hearts.

for showing us what’s possible when we dare mighty things.
While editing a short video about tonight's potential solar storm I discovered I'd made this face.
Because I know Starlinks are likely coming down, and I'm an astronomer, and we can get excited about these things sometimes.
Villainous-ly excited.
With more flight tests, significant vehicle upgrades, and missions returning astronauts to the surface of the Moon with NASA’s Artemis Program all coming soon, excitement will continue to be guaranteed with Starship
Please for the love of god and all that is holy please stop calling starship flights "IFT". It hasn't been officially used since flight 1. They're just called "flight" now. It's "flight 4" not "IFT 4". This is a message to all of spitter.
Reminder that the reason they had to build and test a new Starship rocket is because someone stole the last one (don't look in my backyard I swear it's not there)
Genuinely uncanny how similar this is to Starship pessimism. Reminder that Falcon 9 now has more CONSECUTIVE successful landings than shuttle missions and a cadence exceeding that of any current vehicle by a
Watch a preview video of what you can expect during the

rocket's final flight. At the request of our customer, live coverage of the
#NROL70
mission will conclude after payload fairing jettison approximately seven minutes into flight.
#TheDeltaFinale
Super Heavy Booster 7 completed a full duration static fire test of 31 Raptor engines, producing 7.9 million lbf of thrust (~3,600 metric tons) – less than half of the booster’s capability
Our manger had a presentation/update of the last flight and overall what’s to come for the future. He also showed us some of the coolest onboard video from the flight that’s internal only and man my eyes were glued to the screen and my jaw was on the floor, it was so
First fire! 🔥 We have successfully kicked off the hot fire campaign for our first stage at
@SaxaVord_Space
. We hot-fired a total of four Helix engines, igniting one by one at four second intervals. All engines ran simultaneously for 8 seconds with a total hot-fire duration of 20

The U.S. most definitely won the Space race for two reasons.
A. They were still a country past the 90s
B. They made it to the moon first (which is how a race works)
C. They didn’t needlessly sacrifice human life to achieve it
This weird Starship thingy without forward flaps made an appearance in Verizon's Super Bowl commercial. I'm surprised it wasn't T-Mobile, considering that Starship is literally going to launch their satellites
Are we all prepared for the events on Thursday? Like are we mentally ready for the sheer insanity that will go down if it actually makes all milestones?
I’m actually all for this. Either we get more propaganda from Putin to laugh at or he actually does ask confrontational questions and we get to watch him mysteriously become ill on his flight home
I love the accusation that they just call it a success after stuff happens. You can watch IFT 1 and they repeatedly said how the test works BEFORE it flew.
Ignorance and denial isn’t an argument it’s what flat earthers do
I don't normally comment on space stuff, but Elon pulled his classic call-a-failure-a-success, and far too many are letting him get away with this, yet again. People seriously think this was a successful mission, because Elon and gang said so. Here's why it wasn't.
The facts:
Truly mind boggling how people can say “all they launch are Starlink” and STILL claim they aren’t making enough money. Like do they not think that the fact they fly so many Starlink missions is proof they have the capital to employ to do so?
The fuck is this bullshit? Neither China nor Russia are in the “later stages”
Meanwhile the U.S. has flown both their future vehicles on test/demonstration flights.
The U.S. is so much further ahead this is laughable
US constantly talk and talk and talk about returning to the moon , but they cant print $$ their way to the moon..
meanwhile China and Russia already in later stages of manned moon landing
the moon will be FREE from all perverts from the west..
