Starlink group 17-23 lifts off through a blanket of fog over Vandenberg SFB on its way to orbit and marking flight 20 for booster 1081

@brandonjmphoto First launch was NROL-82, first one I tried to shoot was NROL-91, got lucky enough to catch the last two west coast heavies

@Diver2441 Which mission was that. NROL-70 was the first and last time I saw a Delta IV Heavy in person

Last week, a big orange rocket launched. 2 years ago today, a different big orange rocket launched for the final time. We miss you #ULA #DeltaIVHeavy! #NROL70 #RocketLaunch

An apparent anomaly has occurred at Blue Origins 2CAT testing facility, damaging the roof in the process

It appears Blue Origin has had a testing failure with a GS2 tank in the 2Cat test facility on their campus at Cape Canaveral. Given the noticeable roof damage and overall damage to the facility, it’s very likely this was unintentional. It will be interesting to see if we hear more details from them on this. 📸 - @LaunchHeavenX

Nuclear swords to plowshares, one of these days I'll catch a Minotaur IV

@go4gordon @NatGeo Absolutely some od the most insane launch footage ever captured

@Diver2441 @NatGeo Idk about IMAX but they already posted some wild footage of the launch youtube.com/watch?v=csxCA4…

The images from this mission continue to be completely mind blowing, wishing for an Apollo 11 style IMAX film of this mission…

@Dmanphotos Thanks! I guess the one you saw was for Artemis IV, wild how fast things are moving now!

@Diver2441 Oh sweet! And phenomenal pic of it :)

Does anyone know what this green item is in the VAB? Saw it while heading out to the gantry the day before A2! :)

NASA has released some INSANE up close tracking photo and video from the Artemis II launch on their image and video library. This near-infrared clip from one video shows SRB burnout and separation! Find more here: images.nasa.gov

A poem for Artemis II, by yours truly.

Okay I've seen enough. Triple NASA's budget.

Well after a stunning starlink earlier, it looks like it’ll be no joy with Minotaur sadly, you win this round clouds

This shot was by far the hardest I’ve ever pushed my PC to process launch photos, but the result is more than worth it!

And a time lapse video of tonight's launch to cap it all off. Truly nothing short of spectacular, now to get some sleep and gear up for Minotaur IV in about seven hours!

Some close shots of the jellyfish tonight, couldn't make out RCS activity but this is some of the best detail I've seen on an evening jellyfish from here in the Bay Area!

Starlink 17-35 absolutely stunned the west coast tonight! This is a composite of 108 1.5 second photos taken as a time lapse sequence, absolutely blown away, more photos below!

@johnkrausphotos Not a bad view up in the Bay Area!

Jellyfish alert for those in/around California!

Quick phone shot, this was one of the best jellyfish I’ve seen from the west coast! Big shoutout to @johnkrausphotos for his awesome jellyfish prediction tool! Many photos coming soon!

Looking like a good night to go jellyfishing
