SpaceX's Starship Booster 18 (the 1st Starship V3 booster) suffered severe damage during testing, when the LOX tank burst.

According to published NOTAMs, the launch of Shenzhou-22 will occur on 25 November 2025

In a few days, China will launch the uncrewed Shenzhou-22 to the CSS to replace the damaged SZ-20, which has a damaged window due to space debris strike. The original CZ-20 crew has returned with CZ-21 while the CZ-21 crew has to wait for a CZ-22 to have a return opportunity.

Congratulations to @blueorigin for the successful landing of their New Glenn stage 1 on their drone ship

Apparently Murphy's law really loves me this year. The car is again broken - this time the turbo charger is broken. :-(

Google's AI summaries are pretty useless...

@winkelsdorf Als jemand der sich mehr mit den Flugkörpern als mit den Fahrzeugen beschäftigt: Flugtests der HW20 sind soweit nicht bekannt. Allerdings ist die Entwicklung neuer ICBM Trägersysteme in NK beeindruckend (auch von der Erfolgsrate). Die unbekannte ist die Wiedereintrittskomponente

And this adds another gap in the sequence of Ofeq satellites, which was consecutively numbered until Ofeq-11. Following satellites are now missing: Ofeq-12, 14, 15, 17 and 18.

Israel has conducted one of its rare Shavit space launches. This time, Ofeq 19, an advanced SAR (synthetic aperture radar) observation sat. It is likely an improved version of the TECSAR type (Ofeq 8, 10, 13). https://t.co/pZvVvyXvcS

I want to say a big "Thank You!" to all those people who supported me! The good news is, that the NAS archive has been replaced and I was able to restore the damaged back up. So in a few days I shall be able to resume updates. And the car is also in the process of being repaired.

Urgent support needed! Due to a series of unlucky events both critical computer hardware and my car failed today, seriously hampering my work. So if you find Gunter's Space Page useful, please consider donating ! I would be very grateful! https://t.co/IDEDWMFWL6

I am getting more and more convinced, that SpaceX concept to develop a huge rocket by rapid iterative development is not really a favorable way to do it - just by the amount of energy potentially being released during failures.

Likely severe damage to the test stand, which will lead to more delays than the loss of Ship 36 itself.

Another SpaceX Starship setback: Ship 36 exploded on the Massey static fire test stand.

I am not a fan of military parades at all. But when I compare videos of parades in North Korea, Soviet Union, Russia, China, Nazi Germany, I somehow think fans of military parades might be slightly underwhelmed by Trump's version.

It is a curse! (no guarantee for authenticity)

Well folks, it doesn't look like @ispace_HAKUTO_R made anything like a soft landing. Independent signal tracking from the Dwingeloo radio telescope in the Netherlands show something unusual happening before a sudden LOS:

Wow - the Musk-Trump-bromance turns into a full-bloom divorce battle. Collateral damage may be crewed spaceflight, as Musk threatens to decommission the Dragon crewed spacecraft. I did not see this escalating so fast...
