SpaceX engineers got their first hands-on look at a Starship after its return from space. What they learned led to improvements in Starship’s heatshield we’ll see fly today.

A look back at Sophie Adenot's third spacewalk.
Together with @NASA astronaut @Astro_Jessica, Sophie successfully completed US EVA-99, spending 6 hours 49 minutes outside the International Space Station.
The duo completed a series of critical tasks in the vacuum of space, including replacing a key navigational aid to supporting future science upgrades and enhancing Station systems.
Sophie has now logged an impressive 19 hours and 42 minutes of spacewalking time across three EVAs in just 15 days.
Bravo Sophie!

We are Americans.
We are the most powerful nation on the planet.
What defines us is not our power to dominate the weak.
What demonstrates our character is not our capacity to traumatize the afflicted.
What speaks our truth is not how we taunt, deride or belittle the embattled, broken or battered.
We are:
The country of the Marshall Plan
The nation of The Berlin Airlift
The nation whose leader said, “Mr. Gorbachev, tear down this wall.”
We are at our best when we are resolute against evil -- not when we kowtow to those who perpetrate it.
We tell our truth when we defend the weak -- not when we do it only if we get protection money.
We are America when our leaders call the dictators dictators and those who fight to defend democracy against tyranny what they are: heroes.
Donald Trump and JD Vance didn't show strength today -- they showed weakness.
They belittled a giant and showed just how small they are.
They have the most vaunted titles in the world: President and Vice President of The United States of America. But the title doesn't make the man. And today both men brought shame to their titles.
A weary warrior was before them. A beleaguered man who has lost thousands of his friends and comrades to the unjust and illegal aggression of an authoritarian leader.
They showed no grace; no magnanimity of spirit; no diplomatic acumen. They were small bullies with big titles and they disrespected the history and legacy of the nation they lead.
Today, Donald Trump acted more like Russia's Putin than America's President.

“Elections are necessary in Ukraine,” Kellogg told Reuters.
“In most democracies, elections take place even during wartime. I think it’s important. I believe it’s good for democracy. The beauty of a strong democracy is having more than one potential candidate.”
Hi @generalkellogg ! Please name me a European country that was in a full-scale military conflict during WWII, had 25% of its territory occupied by the enemy and still held elections?
Ukrainians really love elections. We love democracy. And we have never made idols out of presidents.
BUT we need REAL PEACE in Ukraine before the elections because:
- millions of Ukrainians are refugees outside Ukraine;
- millions of Ukrainians are hostages in the territories occupied by Russia and will not be able to openly express their will;
- millions of Ukrainians are soldiers today, so they cannot be elected, and it is impossible for them to vote normally because of constant fighting.
