❤️❤️ Happy Mother’s Day ❤️❤️ Appreciation to mothers everywhere who brought us all into the world and nurtured their beloved children 🥰

There's nothing better than seeing an SLS rocket stage vertical! 🏗️ Technicians at @nasakennedy have completed operations of lifting the largest section of the core stage for NASA’s Artemis III SLS rocket into High Bay 2, where it will be connected to the engine section.

The GAPE website for Artemis II has been updated. It's around 11k photos now. But it includes more information like location and spacecraft altitude. Permalink: eol.jsc.nasa.gov/SearchPhotos/m…

@IronMan198XAD @Sn25isthebest She will be the light guiding it from launch to splashdown.. may she rest in peace❤️

This flight will be bittersweet. My Grandma wasn't into much but she enjoyed watching Starship fly. We basically watched Starship evolve from MK1 to the last V2 to fly. She watched Hoppy fly, the 2 cans with hats, Flight 1 - 11 and she really wanted to see Starship go orbital. She passed away suddenly, days after flight 11 If flight 12 is perfect, it might break me for a bit.

One of the problems engineers had with recovering Voyager 1 was there was no emulator or assembler for the computer they had to reprogram. Vintage computer fans had wanted to document this hardware for years, but when we asked NASA for info they said no. Finally someone tracked down some old JPL memos in a filing cabinet in Kansas and got all the information needed to build and emulator for the hardware. Imagine how much easier the Voyager 1 recovery would have been if NASA had just said 'Yes' to those inquisitive vintage computer nerds a decade ago. zanehambly.com/voyager

I applaud President Trump’s whole-of-government effort to bring greater transparency to the American people on unidentified anomalous phenomena. At NASA, our job is to bring the brightest minds and most advanced scientific instruments to bear, follow the data, and share what we learn. We will remain candid about what we know to be true, what we have yet to understand, and all that remains to be discovered. Exploration and the pursuit of knowledge are core to NASA’s mission as we endeavor to unlock the secrets of the universe.

Tried to capture the @Space_Station with my new 800mm lens. I need to say, that it is actually possible. Probably not that good, but it is possible!

Las principales diferencias entre V2 y V3 de Starship: 🪽🚀 3 rejillas aerodinámicas en lugar de 4, pero 50% más grandes 🔥⭕ Anillo de hot stage integrado al Booster 🦖👑 Nuevo motor Raptor V3 inicialmente 250t de empuje, apuntan a 280t ⛽✅ Sistema de distribución de combustible con nuevo tanque de metano para aterrizaje, arranque de motores en simultáneo 🛡️🚫 V3 no necesita escudo termico para los motores en Booster y Ship, reduciendo ~40t de peso 🐟🛰️ Mejor sistema dispensador con capacidad de llevar 54-56 Starlink V3 🥰🖤 Detallado con pintura negra que le da una perspectiva más elegante y operacional 📷: @_MaxQ_

I see ya baby...shaking that ass! Can't stop watching this. @LabPadre

NASA’s #MissionToPsyche – on its way to explore a rare, metal-rich asteroid – is about to get a speed boost from Mars. 🚀🏁 On May 15, spacecraft will harness the Red Planet’s gravitational pull as a slingshot to increase its speed and adjust its trajectory. 1/2

As it passes about 2,800 miles (4,500 kilometers) from the Martian surface at 12,330 mph (19,840 kph), the #MissionToPsyche team will calibrate the spacecraft’s instruments – and grab some close-up snapshots of the Red Planet! Details: go.nasa.gov/4tsCLPQ 2/2

Demonstrating VIPER's path from lander to lunar surface 🌕 We completed a critical demonstration of our offloader mechanism, using rotating arms and cables to safely lower a VIPER mass simulator from the top of Blue Moon MK1's forward module to the lunar surface. Key achievements included: ✅ Full deployment sequence with davit arms under load ✅ Winch cable system maintaining robust control throughout the full lowering sequence ✅ Performance across roll and pitch slopes up to 10° ✅ Clearances and mechanical interfaces Next up: critical design review and further development testing.

B21 stacking begins! With Flight 12 still targeting May 15th, Ship 39 in final flight ops Ship 40 in engine installation ops Ship 41 in stacking ops B19 in final flight ops B20 preparing for cryo And B21 in stacking ops The 12 flights plan is still viable 🙏 we can still do this!!! 🚀

Booster 21's A2:4 section was moved towards MB-1 last night, staging outside the bay for roughly half an hour before being moved inside. @LabPadre

Have I told you all about that time I destroyed a test stand? So many stories to share…

OH MY GOD OH MY GOD OH MY FUCKING GOD
