Farewell, Mon Capitaine. Thanks for all the memories Patrick Stewart. This one hurts. Star Treks Jean Luc Picard would not be the same without you. To the Journey 🍷

First look at parachutes in Kitten Space Agency. Chute physics “sleep” once landed, but if you don’t cut them, they’ll wake up and continue simulating when forces are applied again.

Shortly after deploying the main structural frame, the construction team began giving shape to the structure, dividing it into four 120 m-long hangars. Circa 2079.
"The Golden Cage." After the completion of the Prometheus Station's main assembly, construction of its low-pressure hangar begins. Once complete, the structure will support orbital maintenance and in-space assembly operations for the LEO and cislunar economy. Circa 2079.

Holy $#*! Well my friends, I've managed to get in touch with brilliant international wildlife photographer Chris Bray on Christmas Island and he just grabbed some shots of Ship 40 for us! Take a look at this!🤯 Lot's more to come so follow him from the link. 👇

"Don't look down." Half a million meters above Earth, a team of two astronauts performs the first EVA in the history of the Prometheus Space Station, assisting with the integration of the T1A truss segment into the Herculean-1A module. Circa 2070.

Starship docked to the Herculean-1A module. Circa 2070. (VERY WIP)
I'm glad to inform you that I'm cooking the biggest thing in my timeline rn (yes, that's a partially expendable Starship).

Kittens can now collide with ground clutter 🐱🪨 As part of our next milestone, we're adding interactions between kittens and objects scattered across the terrain. Ground clutter can use simple collision shapes or more detailed convex hulls, like the rocks shown here.

I won’t lie, I am surprised it’s still in good shape. Awesome it’s still going strong.
The SpaceX Recovery team is still working to recover Flight 13’s Starship from the Indian Ocean. They’ve been overcoming challenging conditions and increasingly rough seas as they attempt to guide the 52m long spacecraft to port

ICYMI: Satellite imagery has confirmed Ship 40 is currently en route to Australia, being towed aft first by Normand Ranger. Skimmer Tide is continuing to provide escort and support recovery operations. 📷 - @vantortech (first reported by @CNN)

Now that is just beautiful…
View of Starship in space from a Starlink V3 satellite on Flight 13. This composite is made of imagery from four separate cameras on a single satellite. Six of the satellites were equipped with cameras to scan Starship’s heat shield and transmit imagery down to operators to continue testing methods of analyzing Starship’s heat shield readiness for return to launch site on future missions

Now that’s a shot I’ve been waiting for.
The first Starlink V3 satellites in space successfully deployed their solar arrays, fired their thrusters, established connections with the Starlink constellation using radio frequencies and laser links, and captured imagery of Starship

Its still going!
Replying to @SpaceX
The Starship Recovery team has continued gathering imagery of the vehicle, which is still afloat in the Indian Ocean

Starship flying above South Africa. Just like an airplane, this view will be extremely common in future.

Starship soared on the second flight of the next generation, deploying advanced Starlink satellites for the first time and providing priceless data as it travelled through air, space, and sea → spacex.com/launches/starship…

It finally happened, we have my Legitimate Salvage render. Wrong side up but I’ll take it.

I was just thinking it would be cool if she survived the splashdown… awesome.
