So I think this single rocket has launched more satellites and astronauts than ULA has in its entire history.
SpaceX hits a milestone on the quest for up to 20 flights for each Falcon 9 booster. This booster has now flown 16 times, launching two astronauts and 801 spacecraft in its career. arstechnica.com/space/2023/0…

Amazing to watch Starship fly. This short flight had me in tears thinking about the amount of work we put in (and that the people still there continue to put in) to get this to fly. I have no doubt that this will get to orbit and change the world!
First fully integrated Starship lifting off for the first time!

Seriously Artemis, spent that much on a rocket and it doesn’t have an onboard camera?? #Artemis #SLS #nasa

When the moon was completely shadowed during the eclipse, all the stars and nebulae in the sky revealed themselves. This photo was captured during the darkest hour of the eclipse, and shows how the moon compares to other objects in the sky.

It has been amazing to work on Raptor! I sure expect the next 100 to complete a bit faster.

When @JoeBiden joked that @JanetYellen should have her own @HamiltonMusical ... it got us thinking, what would that sound like? As it happens, we know an artist on The Hamilton Mixtape. We'll let @dessadarling take it from here.

Getting ready for Starships 12.5km hop/belly flop/land... this is going to be ridiculous.
This is the correct way to set expectations for tomorrow and how to react if expectations are exceeded! 😅

Happy to have the support of @SpaceX’s Starlink internet as emergency responders look to help residents rebuild the town of Malden, WA that was overcome by wildfires earlier this month. #wawildfire

Was amazing to see this in person yesterday! It’s been so much fun working on this engine!
The first Raptor Vacuum engine (RVac) for Starship has shipped from SpaceX’s rocket factory in Hawthorne, California to our development facility in McGregor, Texas
