@Lachlan_Wall01 Wet telescope

We should turn starship into a space telescope.

@microgoose11 Making another huh?

@BoosterGridFin where's the big fly that carries him away

>Orbit first try >landing on second attempt >reuse booster on next flight with rapid turnaround >fries an ASTS satellite in the upper atmosphere >gleh🥀

@Starship_block3 lol, saw someone say PHM

@BoosterGridFin I thought it was clear, it's gravity

How

@hackerswagger @NASASpaceflight @spaceOFFSHORE Trust there is, OLM too

@BoosterGridFin @NASASpaceflight @spaceOFFSHORE I don't think there's enough space for that!

*After 156 successful Falcon 9 landings, Just Read the Instructions will be fully dedicated to support Starship operations going forward" 😱😱😱

@NASASpaceflight @spaceOFFSHORE They’re gonna put a mechazilla on it and use JRTI for downrange catches

@spaceOFFSHORE How the heck does it support Starship ops?

@davenorthcutt @technoking_420 @nautforprofit @blueorigin That’s what’s meant to happen though lol

But B.O. doesn’t do great at landing, do they? The booster always hovers next to the target, then slides sideways and burns up the pad. They are barely there. Bezos needs to get off the party circuit and his yacht and hire a better Chief Engineer. From pre launch to landing, the whole operation feels amateurish.

I’m still in disbelief that $ASTS sat waited for 2 months for @blueorigin team to get their shit together, just for the team to completely fuck it up and seemingly not care about it.

@ParkerFromMars @SpaceBasedFox @Seriq_v2 I think what he’s saying is they’ve had 2 crews training but will choose which one to fly and to publicly announce when the HLS is chosen

@SpaceBasedFox @Seriq_v2 That sounds to me like there will be a significant delay already, I don’t think any crew has ever trained for a nasa mission from scratch in under 15 months

I was able to ask my super nerdy questions at this event :D Lori Glaze says NASA will have an announcement about whether an upper stage will be on Artemis 3 in the coming weeks

@Blobifie @DaRealJerma9851 A rambunctious melody once again 2π/10

Ship 41's nosecone & payload bay has been moved into Megabay 2!!

@JerryCohen85748 @AST_SpaceMobile Me when I don’t consider the risks of my investments

@AST_SpaceMobile These fucking assholes at Blue origin called the mission of success well I got 15,000 shares of AST and I'm going to get fucking pulverized tomorrow. It's a shame I don't have a fucking insurance policy oh wait it's called a class action lawsuit!

AST SpaceMobile Addresses Today’s Orbital Launch of BlueBird 7 on the New Glenn Launch Vehicle businesswire.com/news/home/2026…

@AlexianR3002 @torybruno It doesn’t

@torybruno sorry, I know you guys are throwing out a party for Never tell the odds second successful flight, but would you be able to tell me if the booster has the same engines that had on flight 1? Please and thank you!

@SpaceBasedFox Huh 🤔

If today's events have shown us anything, it's that this is the perfect rocket

@astronomy1002 @CSI_Starbase The concept of sane boosters implies the existence of insane boosters. Could we get a deep dive investigation on this please @CSI_Starbase ?

@CSI_Starbase They’re trying to community note you now lol

The responses to this are interesting to say the least. Half the people realize I was clearly comparing Starship to New Glenn and responded accordingly The other half are literally losing their minds and are offended by simply pointing out that I don’t believe anyone would have predicted this 2x recovery of the same New Glenn booster before 2x recovery of the same Superheavy. The class of vehicles and method of recovery are irrelevant. As fans of space exploration we have ALL repeatedly made comparisons about the progress of New Glenn and Starship development. This is no different unless you choose to make it into something it’s not. I must have missed the memo that we are no longer able to talk about them in the same sentence 😅

Such a peak intro

@Starship_block3 I’m not really sure there’s a way which it could be between 35 and 37 unless it doesn’t spin but doesn’t release the simlinks for some reason

@TexasCowgrl1111 @Wemporlol @johnkrausphotos getting corrected is harassment now?

@Wemporlol @johnkrausphotos It brings out all you trolls harassing me people need to get a life

Just a question for all the smart people out here. How do all the stickers stay perfect?? asking for a friend

@IEnjoyStarshi When’s that?

Looks like I’ll be home before S39’s T-0

@NASAOlympus @SpaceX They are

@SpaceX Is it just the angle or are the engine staggered?!?

Starship and Super Heavy move out to continue preflight testing
