Launch at 0840 UTC Jun 1 of the first Chang Zheng 12B from Jiuquan, placing the Qianfan Jigui 08 group of internet sats in orbit. So far it's unclear how many sats were in the group.

Less than a year ago, Ship 36 and the test stand had a really bad evening, and I was delivering pizzas. A year later, V3 launched and now I typically deliver coffee & donuts. A lot of progress can happen in a year. This was a setback, but I have no doubt Blue will bounce back well. NASA will be there to help find solutions, and this time next year, excitement will be building for Artemis III.

@SawyerMerritt No later tonight launch

SpaceX completed its 50th Starlink launch of 2026 today. With this mission, SpaceX has deployed 1,375 Starlink satellites so far this year, and another Starlink launch is scheduled for later tonight. (photo below is real)

That's good to hear!

@zerowq_eth 同样故事模板，换个公司名又来了！

亚马逊刚刚上演了一场教科书级别的“卸磨杀驴” 🩸 2847人，早上6:47收到邮件“职位立刻裁撤”。 7:15工牌失效，敲代码敲到一半Slack直接被踢。 但这还不是最狠的，最狠的是： 自己亲自训练的AI最后干掉了自己😂👇 过去8个月，这批核心流媒体的Senior工程师被要求将所有的架构决策、代码模式、Debug流程和性能优化技巧，事无巨细地全部写进内部Wiki。 大家以为在做知识沉淀。 实际上，他们是在亲自给即将替代自己的AI写训练数据。 上个季度，这个团队用Claude辅助开发，交付速度提升了40%。 结果呢？整个团队连锅端。 外包拿着这批老哥留下的Prompt库和部署脚本，无缝衔接。 西雅图只剩下区区14个人，头衔变成了“管理AI辅助的离岸交付”。 🚨一位被裁的L7大佬跟我吐槽了一句极其绝望的： “我特么亲手训练了干掉我自己的AI。”⚠️ 妈的亚马逊开了个“好头”，很多公司马上会效仿。

@SawyerMerritt @TalosDreams @Starlink Now you get Space Industry is small

@TalosDreams @Starlink Doesn't the Vulcan Centaur use the same rocket engine as New Glenn? If that engine was the cause of the explosion yesterday, that would be an issue for ULA.

I think it's worth discussing how last night's Blue Origin incident could affect Delta's decision to choose Amazon Leo over @Starlink. A couple months ago, Delta announced plans to begin installing Amazon Leo connectivity on 500 aircraft starting in 2028. The key word here is begin, because unless Amazon decides to launch their Leo satellites on SpaceX rockets in the near term while Blue Origin works to return New Glenn to service, a process that could take 12–15 months (maybe longer) based on early reports, its deployment timeline could face significant delays. Amazon currently has about 300 Leo satellites in orbit, compared to @SpaceX's 10,400 Starlink satellites. Those 500 aircraft would cover only about half of Delta's fleet, meaning a full fleet rollout likely wouldn't be completed until 2030 or so (maybe sooner if they launch Leo sats with SpaceX). United Airlines expects Starlink to be installed on roughly 80% of its fleet (about 880 aircraft) by the end of this year, years ahead of Delta's rollout. Southwest Airlines expects approximately 300 aircraft, or 37% of its fleet, to have Starlink by the end of 2026. American Airlines is scheduled to begin Starlink installations in 2027. This means Delta will have a meaningful competitive disadvantage when it comes to high-speed onboard internet, an increasingly important feature for travelers. This begs the question, does Delta accept these likely delays with Amazon Leo (again, unless they pay SpaceX to launch their sats in the meantime), or do they eventually decide they can't afford to wait and switch to Starlink? A couple other factors to consider though: Delta has broader partnerships with Amazon beyond Leo, and Amazon may have offered a killer deal to get Delta to sign with them, one they may not want to give up. It's also possible Amazon dedicates a large share of Leo's early capacity to Delta, making a smaller satellite constellation mostly sufficient for its needs? I need to look more into that last part. So far, 37 airlines (and counting) have announced Starlink adoption. I now some disagree with me on this, but I believe passengers will increasingly factor high-speed internet connectivity into their flight decisions, especially on longer flights. As more airlines adopt Starlink (three out of the four major U.S. airlines have), pressure will continue to mount for the airlines that haven't adopted it. Jet Blue is in a similar situation to Delta....

We go where we need to be, and today that was @NASAKennedy. Some of my senior engineers and I spent time at @blueorigin with @JeffBezos and @davill, speaking with the workforce and seeing the damage at LC-36 firsthand. I appreciated the opportunity to hear directly from those working through the aftermath and better understand the challenges ahead. There is a lot of work to do, but this is exactly why people choose careers in aerospace, whether at NASA, Blue Origin, or across the industry. The talent in this field thrives under pressure and performs at its best when solving the toughest problems. We have been saying for months at NASA that we are not going to sit on our hands and wait for the capabilities necessary to achieve the nation’s most pressing objectives. We are going to take an active role alongside our partners, just as we did in the 1960s, to overcome setbacks, remove obstacles, and deliver the intended outcomes. @NASA is committed to helping the Blue team recover, continue to advance their lunar lander and get New Glenn back to launching as soon as safely possible. America’s greatest achievements in space were never the result of avoiding setbacks. They came from overcoming them. We have done it before, and we will do it again🇺🇸

@TechDanC Trees: so scary, but I am doing ok

Comparing the before and after of the explosion in New Glenn, it's possible to see that one of the lightning rod towers on LC-36 and the strongback have completely disappeared.

New glenn has yet to explode

@SciGuySpace Not good for BO and the industry

The implications of New Glenn’s failure are probably worse than you think. I dig in here to some of the most serious concerns. arstechnica.com/space/2026/05/…

@Blobifie What did you do to the Rocket?!

UPDATE: Debris from the 28 May 2026 anomaly could wash ashore along publicly accessible areas over the coming days or weeks, report debris to 911. Launch vehicle debris is potentially hazardous, direct contact poses a risk to personal health and welfare. patrick.spaceforce.mil/Resources/Publ…

Rocket is hard!

This is not feel new though

This gonna big!!

@MarcusHouse Not anymore, so sad!!

LEO sats confirmed for NG-4. Happy Blue are getting back to flight with Amazon sats so we are not risking the lunar lander on the first attempt back after the 2nd stage issue. Based on NASA's statement this week the lander seems like it will be sometime after the start of September.

This is how I feel

@peng_hellen 明天航天股热情正好减一下回调，之前太疯了以为没有风险了

Of course you did…..以为什么异常，一看直接炸成大火球了～（原帖评论区看大火球）

@SciGuySpace I thought SpaceX already got a lot data , they shared the info with FAA before right?

Silver lining: The Space Force just got good data on methane exclusion zones.
