@ABernNYC @mdcainjr The Vulcan vehicle rolls during its wild ride to orbit in this tracking video captured south of the launch site by Max Q Productions @CarstensPete

Roughly 20 seconds after the liftoff of ULA's Vulcan rocket on the USSF-87 mission, there appeared to be a possible burn through of at least one of the solid rocket booster nozzles. We've reached out to ULA for comment. Video shot by @ABernNYC for Spaceflight Now Watch:

@rookisaacman @yatharthmaan Was this a single influx of 6k per site? Or were these at least rationed out over a couple weeks time?

@yatharthmaan It is 6,000 donuts per center. No one gets left behind.

AI is getting crazy @rookisaacman!

@blueorigin @torybruno Tory, welcome to Blue!

We’re pleased to announce that @torybruno is joining Blue Origin as president, National Security, reporting to CEO Dave Limp. Tory will spearhead our newly formed National Security Group.

@planet4589 @astrocurry Do we have catalog numbers for these satellites yet?

ESCAPADE Blue and Gold have separated from the New Glenn GS2 ! Warmest congrats to @astrocurry !

@DJSnM They be big

Wobbly fairing was even visible from ground

⁦@blueorigin⁩ delivered our 30th BE-4 engine for Vulcan!! Our partnership continues to pave the way for critical missions, now and into the future.

Excited to see our BE-4s help push another payload into orbit! Kuddos to the entire #BlueOrigin team for a job well done. And congrats to #ULA for a successful launch! #USSF106

@airandspace Are there any plans to 3D scan (i.e. blue laser or blue/white light) these suits? Having an stl or mesh would be amazing!

All three Apollo 11 spacesuits are in our collection. For the 50th anniversary, we captured their first side-by-side since the historic Moon mission. Aldrin's suit stands on the left, Collins’s in the center, and Armstrong’s on the right. #AirSpacePhoto

@realhomerhickam Were these Army issue??

Pretty sure this is Father Higgiston who was often in the field with us. He was brave and did not suffer fools or field grades. 😉

@ArianeGroup Congrats to all the teams in involved!

The CS0-03 satellite has just been deposited precisely at its delivery point!

@SLessard I will further echo many of the sentiments here: 1. Most of us long-time followers know who you are and who runs this account. 2. Giving money to X would not really offer any real advantage, as now anyone can get a verified check mark.

Looks like a piece of the @blueorigin NG-1 fairing has washed up, notably its one of the parts with the team signatures on it too! I hope this finds its way to a museum one day @JeffBezos reddit.com/r/space/commen…

@julie78787 @eduardoe @DJSnM Yes, water is by far a better conductor of sound than air. My comment is aimed more at the fact the pure water pressure was responsible. Other have estimated the implosion had the energy equivalence of over 100 lbs of TNT.

@eduardoe @AskClay @DJSnM I realized just how well sound travels when I noticed I could hear motorboats underwater that I couldn't hear on the surface. Which makes surfacing super-dangerous. Especially if you're lost underwater.

The coast guard recently released the acoustic signature associated with the Titan submersible implosion. This was from 900miles away. I'm sure there are other US government recordings from classified systems.

@austinbarnard45 It has been a tough day, for sure. My heart hurts for those colueges we lost today.

@smartereveryday I remember the early Pennywistle days of music and chickens. You've come a long way in a decade plus!

Wow. I look different. I'd be grateful if you vote for my thing here: projectforawesome.com/watch?v=tNlmWB…

@johnkrausphotos @blueorigin John, I think this one is my favorite from NG-1 out of any photo I've seen. Those of us in HSV who were lucky enough to build these engines will be cherishing your pictures for decades to come. I hope we can get some of your amazing shots in the factory!

Seven BE-4 engines power New Glenn from LC-36 for its inaugural flight 📸: @blueorigin

@DJSnM If so, I'm only marginally sad. We worked hard on those engines, and they did their jobs. Hate we didn't get all that data from landing, but we are learning a ton already!

Guessing that stage one may not have landed given that the mood got quiet. Not a big deal if true IMHO

LIFTOFF! New Glenn is beginning its first ever ascent toward the stars.

New Glenn vs the size of Saturn V
