China's human spaceflight agency stated today that the Shenzhou-20 crew spacecraft may have been struck by a small piece of debris. Impact analysis and risk assessment are underway, delaying the crew's return to Earth, originally scheduled for Nov. 5. https://t.co/AOHaO0NaX6

So last week we had this news dropped out of the blue by the NASA acting Administrator. In a statement, NASA said they were giving Blue Origin and SpaceX until October 29 to propose ways of accelerating timelines. That’s today. I wonder when those proposals will be made public.

Orion is about to head towards its ride to the Moon!

On the morning of March 10, 2025, David Draper sat down for what would become one of his final meetings as NASA’s Deputy Chief Scientist. He had no idea what was about to happen. For the first time, plainclothes security stood guard at NASA Headquarters in Washington, D.C.

USSF Space Systems Command issued a press release ystrdy (Oct 3) announcing they awarded Phase 3 Lane 2 contracts on Oct 1. Five to SpaceX valued at $714 M. Two to ULA valued at $428 M. None to Blue Origin whose "next opportunity for a mission is FY27."

@bbcnickrobinson please take note and correct badly written scripts in future. It’s HUMAN Spaceflight these days, not “manned” Spaceflight. Even the BBC style guide tells you that. I checked.

Oi @BBCr4today @BBCRadio4 - HOW MANY TIMES - it is NOT “manned missions to the Moon” - it’s *human* or *crewed*. Your own BBC style guide has notes on this, NASA (and most agencies) stopped using ‘manned’ a couple of decades ago. Use the language of the industry. Be inclusive.

Sad that former astronaut Garrett Reisman needed to write this, but very very glad he did - and I hope people take note.

This is the most badass spaceflight photo I have seen in a long, long time.

ESA welcomes JAXA's interest in participating in the Ramses mission to the asteroid Apophis, which will make a safe but exceptionally rare and scientifically valuable flyby of Earth in April 2029. https://t.co/tNdWoOHtUO

Successful flight 10 of Starship; 8 dummy Starlinks deployed, in-space Raptor restart, reentry and soft landing in Indian Ocean. Partial structural failure of aft skirt at T+47m, some minor flap damage, but overall a good flight putting the program back on track.

IT'S ORANGE!!! CONGRATS SPACEX!!

Starship Flight 10 complete! Ship 37 flip and burn landing!

Oosh - not sure what all that debris was! #Starship

T – 2 hours. Weather is currently 45% favorable for the launch. Not looking much better than yesterday. If it's scrubbed again, the next launch window will be 48 hours later.

Ah scrub. No-go on weather. #Starship

Nice graphic from the @NASASpaceflight team comparing rocket heights - #Starship really is massive.

All the hyper-optimistic future talk about the speed of reuse of the super heavy booster is to be expected, but weren’t they going for 25 Starship launches in 2025? If it launches tonight it will be the fourth of the year - and hopefully break a run of RUDs. #Starship
