DO THE ROAR

@DarthMac_OG Congrats dude!! You should post it!

Just got an Oscar (for my high school film class) for my documentary on S36’s rud and how SpaceX modified the OLM to support S37’s static fire campaign

2 hydrogen bombs vs one coughing baby vs one hydrogen bomb

@mcrs987 Yep

@FrancescoSpace_ the file works btw right out the gate

This must feel so good for the computer

@Mookafish HOLY PEAK

The third stage and its payload arrive at Saturn and perform a gravity assist and deceleration burn at Titan to slow down and capture in the Saturn system.

Three years since the first flight of Starship, the next generation is here. New ship. New booster. New engines. New pad and new test site. SpaceX engineers are working to solve one of the most difficult engineering challenges in history: developing a fully, rapidly reusable rocket

@jrxcket Doesn’t work anymore 😔

@Truthful_ast Yep, they published those renders about a year ago ahead of Expo 2025. I can’t wait to see the fully fleshed out interiors for reasons

I think this is a newer Toyota Lunar Cruiser render?! this is one of the most important vehicles of the entire Artemis program and sadly most people have no idea it's deep into development.

@CJtheTankEngine @Orbital_Perigee @Gateway2Space

@Orbital_Perigee There's a space discord?

99% sure this is Oliver the Space Nerd, this is exactly how he types and is the only person who has ever really used the exact phrase “huge personal investments” multiple times. he’s also famous for saying TSE was a pedophile (with no evidence) and then accidentally revealing he made a bunch of sock puppet accounts to perpetuate it. also tried to call TSE a pedophile in YT live chats impersonating him. fuck outta here

Earthset. The Artemis II crew captured this view of an Earthset on April 6, 2026, as they flew around the Moon. The image is reminiscent of the iconic Earthrise image taken by astronaut Bill Anders 58 years earlier as the Apollo 8 crew flew around the Moon.

Our home. Same perspective. 56 years apart.

White House Proposes 23% Cut to NASA Budget for 2027 to Fund Hike in Defense Spending

Project Hail Artemis

Ascent of Artemis II! Beautiful clear sky for ascent this evening. Humanity’s return to the moon is now!

Liftoff. The Artemis II mission launched from @NASAKennedy at 6:35pm ET (2235 UTC), propelling four astronauts on a journey around the Moon. Artemis II will pave the way for future Moon landings, as well as the next giant leap — astronauts on Mars.

@RiccardoMalese @TgLa7 On Demo-2 they called it “Spah-Sex”, so it could’ve been worse 😭

@FrancescoSpace_ @TgLa7 Spais what? 😭😭

An Italian news outlet (@TgLa7) reporting on Artemis II just said that SLS is a “SpaceX rocket”. 😭😭😭
