Hi I'm AllThingsSpace33, Im better known as ATS33 in the spaceflight community, I am an avid spaceflight, Aviation, and flight sim fan I run a ksp space company called @space_systems_. I am also a Aviation photographer that takes photos at YPAD.

@Daithiunjabbed @ChrisMartzWX down is relative i can confirm as i am an australian

@ChrisMartzWX What's holding the water to the earth down in Australia?

If the Earth were flat like the Artemis II deniers claim, this wouldn’t happen. But it does because the planet is roughly a sphere (oblate spheroid). It’s physics!

@booster_10 Booster 19 just- nah but seriously i think it'll go ok with 3 engines shutting down prematurely

How do you think the first 33 engine static fire attempt will go?

@kibeandy why does an airplane wing have spoilers?

Let me dumb this down for you "learned folk'. A bullet does ~3,000 km/h. NASA says these guys hit Earth at 40,000 km/h — that’s 10+ bullets stacked together… but somehow slow down using parachutes and land safely in the ocean Uber Boat style? So a bullet shreds flesh instantly but a human in a metal flask can hit the atmosphere at 10× that speed, turn into a flying fireball, lose signal, cook the outside to hell and still land like it’s a beach holiday? But yeah… “trust the heat shield.” After this make sure you get your booster to fry your brain further

@Keg767 @InfantryPilot @speedbird020 QPK or QPL?

Heading a long way east for the first time since March 2024. Feeling old because my S/O was born well after I became a 767 F/O. @InfantryPilot has forgotten to switch on the nice weather judging by the forecast. ⁦@speedbird020⁩

@Truthful_ast WDR???

Rollout expected on the night of April 10th of SuperHeavy B19 and Starship S39 for full count engine static fires (33 and 6) B19 static fire is NET April 12th V3's debut flight is NET first week of May.

@bobatesomemayo docks to starship station?

Serious question. How is Orion staying alive in a long term lunar stay I get the point of Gateway now. It was to keep Orion alive. Orion can do 6 months (and up to 1000 accord to Lockheed) only when docked, though. Besides that, assume only the 21 days it was made for.

Saturn V really was such a beast of a rocket

@analyticflying YMML

AF Jnr doing a little plane spotting from the lounge! He’s captivated 😍

@adfreebrowsing 10:07am

90% sure this is 10am saturday in sydney but i’m tweeting it just in case so someone smarter than me can correct me

@oolongschnapps @scritchy7 @_KabiruMuraya @Astrophysicslad Remotely controlled

@scritchy7 @_KabiruMuraya @Astrophysicslad Set to automatically track the LM as it ascended, or was it being controlled remotely? Just curious 🤔

Great question, I really enjoy answering these kinds of questions ... so , both Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin lifted off from the lunar surface in a small spacecraft called the Lunar Module, using its ascent engine to rendezvous (meet up) with Michael Collins(remember the astronaut who remained in orbit) in the Command Module. and here’s where it gets interesting: you see the Lunar Module had two parts; the descent stage, which remained on the Moon and the Ascent stage, the top half that blasted off from the lunar surface. so basically, when they wanted to depart from the lunar surface, they simply launched off the descent stage, leaving it behind on the Moon. In addition, as a clarification, the ascent stage that left the Moon had its own engine, and since the Moon has no atmosphere (meaning zero air resistance), it ignited and just shot upwards into lunar orbit, where Michael Collins continued circling the Moon. To meet Collins, our two astronauts had to enter lunar orbit at just the right altitude, match the speed and trajectory of the Command Module (a technique known as orbital rendezvous) and then use thrusters to slowly approach and carefully dock, thereafter, the ascent stage was jettisoned and left in lunar orbit. (attached is a clip on Apollo 17 leaving the lunar surface in December 1972)

@luke_leisher_ its crazy addicting

Someone needs to take the NASA Image and Video Library away from me it's too addicting to scroll. You go to one page and think you found the hardest photo ever, but no, you go to the next page and it somehow gets topped every time.

@TJ_Cooney true

Day launch > night launch

@analyticflying Will they repaint VXB?

2nd ex-SilkAir B737-800 (VH-XZR) entered into service with Qantas on 1 April sporting an all white livery, just like XZQ did a month ago Meanwhile, XZQ headed to Townsville yesterday for painting (QF6120). She'll be back in Brisbane wearing Silveroo in 2 weeks!

@p_art1506 @johnmcchicken3 Solar panel

@johnmcchicken3 Who holds the cam?

Oh my god it’s beautiful

@NftPeperoncino @johnmcchicken3 Solar array

@johnmcchicken3 Just a question? Where is the camera set up for this shot and why wasn't it shown live on the lauch? Just wondering

@xie_uh @johnmcchicken3 Images.nasa.gov for more

@johnmcchicken3 First quality video or image I've seen related to Artemis. Thank you

@Flight2Starship Hmm Pacific ocean landing?

Starship FCC licenses for Flight 12 and 13 have been modified. Starship Flight 12’s license includes a suborbital first and second stage. Starship Flight 13’s now says suborbital first stage and ORBITAL second stage. Links: apps.fcc.gov/oetcf/els/repo… apps.fcc.gov/oetcf/els/repo…

@WHE_Reborn @MustacheBob2 Spacex is self sufficent Elon is a fucking idiot

@MustacheBob2 I hate elon dickriders so much holy shit. Space exploration should be kept pure and stay driven by curiosity and science and not by the ego and profit margin of a fucking 55 year old man child.

Starship will never reach the moon. It is designed to steal money, not to work.

@j4ng5sf8vy @MustacheBob2 Ok Wrongg rocket

@MustacheBob2 Worked pretty good rescuing the American astronauts Biden abandoned on the ISS 🤡

@MustacheBob2 Milestone based contract....
