Mmmm. Was pretty skeptical on the ole delivery drone idea, but these were so quiet in person and precise in wind. Video doesn't really do the sound, or lack of it, justice. @zipline dishing out two bags of cookies

NASA holds a news briefing today on the Artemis II mission. Likely, they will address the Orion heat shield issue and set a new launch date. What I am confident in saying, based on my reporting, is that you should consider this notional. Major changes are likely w/new leadership.

SpaceX: obliterates a concrete pad, damages a tank farm and needs major changes to the vehicle. Fixes all within 7 months. Pad up in 3 months JP & NASA: have some damage to ML-1. Proceed to spend most of the next year (and into the next) making changes. 4 months for the elevator

This is why we need @rookisaacman right now, normally I want someone because they are an Engineer or Scientist (preferably an Astronaut) to run NASA, but what we need most right now is someone that knows how to do something totally unheard of in DC, balance a freaking checkbook!…

"Business experience is exactly what we need now," Autry said in an email. "NASA’s transition to using commercial services for more and more of their formerly core functions is an irreversible reality, but the agency has lacked anyone at HQ who really understands how…

This launch completes 24 planes of 13 sats per plane at a 53 deg inclination for the Direct to Cell constellation. Once raised to 360 km, it will be plugged in to service. Direct to Cell is open for business for any telco in the world that wants to eliminate dead zones for text…

There are so many problems to solve to make life multiplanetary and SpaceX can't do it all. Lots of opportunity.

Jeff Bezos said at the NYTimes DealBook Summit today that Blue Origin was "very, very close" to a first launch of New Glenn, suggesting all the company needed was "final regulatory approval" [i.e., launch license] He was not more specific on a launch date, though.

Once NASA acknowledges that Artemis II is NET '26, it'll become a bit clearer that there is a very real possibility that neither SLS nor Orion ever fly again. I wouldn't bet on things playing out that way, but I wouldn't bet against it, either. People get too hung up on how…

I personally do not want to see NASA built rockets in the VAB. That’s how we got in this mess. Maybe commercial rockets making use of VAB could be cool if it made sense. VAB is amazing and it shouldn’t be used once every 3 years 😭

Congratulations to my friend @rookisaacman I have had the great opportunity to follow and photograph him during his two spaceflight campaigns over the last almost four years. That’s consisted of countless fighter jet flights, mountaineering, all types of extracurricular…
