As if on cue...

Blue Origin's first Blue Moon lunar lander is nearing completion and will be moving to JSC in the coming days for its thermal vacuum testing!

Launch is expected in Q1 of next year.

Unreal. Absolutely unreal.

2 and a half years of flight testing and 10+ years of development and still failing in ways quite literally no one else is.

100 Launches
1 Year

The busiest year ever for Cape Canaveral continues to bear fruit

Replaying HiFi Rush tonight and MAN I FORGOT HOW FUN THIS IS

Would it be irresponsible to make an X-59 edit to Defying Gravity or...

NASA's Artemis I Mission launching on a near flawless debut flight for SLS, sending the Orion spacecraft to the Moon. The next flight, scheduled for NET February, will carry four Astronauts to the Moon.

United Launch Alliance's Vulcan Centaur rocket on SLC-41 ahead of its first National Security mission, USSF-106.

Blue Origin's New Glenn rocket lifting of with NASA's ESCAPADE mission to Mars. This was the second flight of New Glenn following a successful maiden flight in January 2025.

The first recovered New Glenn booster following the ESCAPADE launch. The booster is expected to be reflown on NG-3, which may carry the Blue Moon Mk1 lunar lander.

You learn more from failure than success is a phrase that has been thrown around a lot the past few years in the world of spaceflight.

Incredible to look back on this sentiment today and see which programs are succeeding and which ones are failing.

There’s a new kid in town…

I’m absolutely blown away by the support we’ve gotten since release last night.

I’ve had so many kind messages from people that I just have to say Thank You to all of you.

Now let’s all get ready to enjoy the show that will be Artemis II! ☺️☺️

Three light streaks into the sky above Kennedy Space Center from three separate launches. From left to right: Starlink 6-89 - Falcon 9 ViaSat-3 F2 - Atlas V Starlink 6-85 - Falcon 9

3 Launches
3 Pads
3 Days

A light streak in the sky of the ViaSat-3 F2 launch aboard a ULA Atlas V rocket

What's better than one launch? TWO LAUNCHES!

A gorgeous bookend to the day as Atlas V flies its final mission beyond low Earth orbit.

Never tell me the odds? Nah. THE ODDS ARE 100 FUCKING PERCENT LETS FUCKING GO

A Stop sign with Camera Road B and Lighthouse Road atop. Behind it are trees and the New Glenn rocket.

Just over an hour until the scheduled launch for ESCAPADE. New Glenn is fueled and so far it’s a greenboard here at Cape Canaveral.

Liftoff is scheduled for 2:57 PM EST

📸 by me

A bit surprised to see both ESCAPADE and ViaSat-3 targeting tomorrow for liftoff. This is going to be quite the effort from the commodities side of CCSFS to pull this one off.

The next 45 minutes are going to be something to remember

YouTube video by Philip Sloss L3Harris RS-25 SLS engine factory tour and program update, supporting NASA and Artemis launches

Fantastic video today from Phillip Sloss. His reporting on the Artemis program has been top notch, especially for some of the nitty gritty details that often get lost in the headlines.

Very interested in the new Steam Frame. Has a TON of features that makes the upgrade from a Quest 3 look like a potential yes please 👀

Not surprised to hear NG-2 delaying due to the current solar activity. The ESCAPADE trajectory would take the spacecraft through some of the worst of the radiation, makes sense to wait it out rather than try and power through it.

I very briefly was able to get it to barely show up on a long exposure here by Kennedy Space Center. Not nearly as strong as last year though
