A model of the IM-1 lander, on its side, leaned against a smaller model of the vehicle.

It’s not a bug, it’s a feature.

This photo was released today by Intuitive Machines, seemingly taken by their Athena IM-2 mission lander.

The lander clearly tipped over, but otherwise looks OK. But it can't recharge, so is functionally dead.

As far as I know, this is the first photo ever taken from the lunar south polar region.

A U.S. Customs surveillance blimp broke free from its tether in South Padre Island and drifted nearly 600 miles before being found tangled in power lines near Quinlan, Texas.

I gotta say I was not expecting the blimp to end up so close to my house😂

I don’t know about yall but this definitely filled me with many great emotions

I have a feeling that this footage will help inspire future engineers, scientists, astronauts, and artists for generations to come

Here’s footage of Rocket Lab testing their Neutron fairing system. The fairings will remain attached to the first stage allowing for a faster turn around of the launch vehicle

“Captain Mark Kelly @CaptMarkKelly Hey @ElonMusk, when you finally get the nerve to climb into a rocket ship, come talk to the three of us. Elon Musk @elonmusk Yes, he does. He is an idiot who publicly attacked me, despite having no idea what ACTUALLY happened. Btw, your brother claims to be independent, b…”

You love to see it

Just saw someone say that it was a starlink that hit the plane…

I went on the other app to try and get more information on the collision but all I found was conspiracy theories and finger pointing🤦‍♂️

American Airlines regional jet collides midair with helicopter near Washington, D.C. airport, FAA says An American Airlines regional jet collided with a helicopter near Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport.

The Federal Aviation Administration is investigating a midair collision of an American Airlines regional jet with a helicopter near Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport outside Washington, D.C.

CNN carrying FAA statement just now that confirms the collision of a CRJ and a Black Hawk helicopter near DCA tonight.

Hopefully, Boom’s success will inspire Europeans to embrace this form of travel

We are one step closer to seeing the return of supersonic commercial travel! Boom’s XB-1 went supersonic for the first time, reaching Mach 1.1 three times over the Mojave Desert. This milestone paves the way for Overture, which aims to fly passengers at Mach 1.7

I love both but Atlantis is soooo much better

He wants to be Von Braun so bad🤦‍♂️

Theory time! I think there was a large leak in the methane tank causing the engines to run oxygen rich. The first engine out might have caused damage to the other raptors resulting in them shutting down as well.

What are your thoughts?

the debris from starship flight 7 caught over turks and caicos.

absolutely unreal.

Yeahhh… that’s not what we were hoping to see

There are there unconfirmed reports of ship debris falling near the Caribbean

And they still made it happen!

100% but it’s hard not to compare them given the overlap in their timelines

I gave it a 50/50 as to who would do it first. It really all came down to how the second stage of NG did

Well yall definitely backed the right horse, good job 👍

Who would’ve thought NG would make it to orbit before Starship

An absolutely stunning maiden launch of New Glenn! They certainly put the blue in Blue Origin

The Blue Ghost & Hakuto mission might be my favorite F9 launch

A US $1 coin featuring an astronaut doing a spacewalk

A US $1 coin featuring the Space Shuttle lifting off

A US $1 coin featuring a Saturn V lifting off with the moon in the background

From now on I will only be paying with these

Being a rocket nerd is staying up until 2am to watch a launch that you’re pretty sure will scrub 🙃

Welp… scratch that :/
