🚨BREAKING: Here’s some initial footage of the SpaceX Massey’s test site after the Ship 36 anomaly.
As expected, the test stand seems to be heavily damaged. Repairs will likely take some time.
Huge thanks to @RaptorRoostTX for going out there so quick for us! ❤️

ANOMALY! Just before Ship 36 was set to Static Fire, it blew up at SpaceX Masseys!

And another. I hope when they’re done cancelling so many of their X accounts that they post a single list of what’s left.
Important update: In the coming weeks, NASA's Orion Spacecraft X account will be archived. To consolidate our social media presence, we will post future updates about the Orion spacecraft via @NASA_Johnson and @NASAArtemis.

This would be beyond catastrophic for Earth and planetary science if these cuts happen.
There are reports The White House is considering a 50% cut to NASA’s science programs, and 25% of its overall budget. Learn what this means from our Chief of Space Policy, Casey Dreier.

Our Lunar Voyage 1 MAPP rover successfully made it to the Moon, collected data from the lunar surface and in transit, and proved MAPP was ready to drive!

I'm deactivating this service due to moral concerns.
The platform’s current direction aligns with ideologies I oppose such as fascism.
Complicity benefits oppressors and bullies.
I’ll continue supporting spaces of respect and progress.
Fuck Nazis.

Farewell to X: I'll keep my free account open but will no longer be posting to this platform. Instead, look for b0yle on Bluesky. I've been covering this guy's activities for more than 20 years but did Nazi this coming ... lemonde.fr/en/international/…

This #NASA memo is circulating and was sent out yesterday ordering "all NASA contractors and grantees to cease and desist all DEIA activities required of their contracts or grants."

While we wait for regulatory approvals for hotfire and launch, here’s a photo (and a bonus video) of our “chilling” GS1. This marks the first time we’re tanking our first stage with liquefied natural gas (LNG) and liquid oxygen (LOX). The first stage LOX tank is nearly 30,000 cu. ft., and the LNG tank is almost 25,000 cu. ft.—equivalent to about 24 and 20 tanker trucks, respectively. GS1 tanking during the NG-1 launch will only take about 30 minutes—due to engine consumption during boost, it drains in just 3.5 minutes.
