Hey @LaunchPins there's one Pegasus launch left. Just turn that 747 into an L-1011

@LaunchPins @spaceOFFSHORE Time for a throwback re-release. Or maybe a YTML or Jacklyn

@spaceOFFSHORE At least our favorite will still be catching. Shame the pin is no longer sold 😭

End of an era!

@CSI_Starbase I don't see the note but regardless: you don't have to worry about being demonetized. Not while I'm around!

As much as I hate to stir this up again... this is my first time ever being community noted so I feel obligated to acknowledge it. To be clear, I think community notes are a super helpful feature and in this case seems to have been necessary for a good number of people. No arguments there. What I find extremely disingenuous about this note is that it portrays the post as intentional miss information, instead of clarifying the intended meaning behind it. This would make sense had I simply posted it and walked away, but instead I spent half of my Sunday responding to nearly everyone who replied for the explicit purpose of eliminating confusion. A proper community note would have mentioned the facts about F9, and followed that up with a clarification about what I was actually trying to say...but instead purposefully phrased it in a manner that is an attack on my character and credibility. The idea that a SpaceX/Starship content creator would be stupid enough to intentionally ignore the existence of F9 is absolutely ridiculous. In some ways, you could consider this to be countering perceived misinformation with willful misinterpretation. I think many would argue this community note is a form of disinformation in itself. So to those of you who have submitted ratings or suggestions to improve the note, I appreciate you for being a real one. BUT, As someone who has NEVER posted for the purpose of engagement farming (which is why you will rarely, if ever see me tag certain high profile accounts in hopes of receiving a boost), what ever effect this has on monetization does not bother me in the slightest. I'm simply not here for those reasons as many have suggested. A majority of my posts can be grouped into four categories 1. Informing my followers of Starbase related events that I find interesting, with occasional mentions of other space related content 2. Providing updates on investigations we are working on, and directly interacting with MY audience outside of YT 3. Posting episode announcements for the purpose of driving traffic to those videos. 4. Occasional venting about world events that I feel should not be ignored. With that said, going forward I will take more care to make sure I phrase things in a way that leaves no room for ambiguous interpretation. ✌🏾

@TheAstroN8 There goes my 4/20 theory

It’s like if you asked a kid to draw a 747

I think I found a plane that @TheAstroN8 hasn’t seen first

@TheAstroN8 I thought I could stump ya but alas

@Gangstead The good ol' Carvair! One of these days I'll make it to Gainesville and see her.

In a Houston hotel near Johnson Space Center and the room art features an R7 and a Buran

@DavidJDPhotos ✨🍿

@AstroForge @thejackbeyer loves recording from those linkedin.com/posts/kent-gee…

Our new in-house anechoic chamber is coming together, allowing us to further shrink the build-test-iterate cycle. By placing a DeepSpace-2 test article in this chamber we are able to simulate the in-space environment our radios will have to operate in.

@TheAstroN8 @GroundTruthPics @BrandonMWynn Flight 4: heard but not seen. I also brought one of my kids and we "watched" from a vacant lot in Port Isabel

@GroundTruthPics @BrandonMWynn That was Flight 4. I'd made plans to take one of my kiddos to see the liftoff (non-refundable, derp) but then they shoved the window to the right. So we went anyway, saw the stack and came back. For the best, though. NO ONE saw that launch 🤣

Starship Superheavy Flight 9 Full Stack Really Hopping i can make flight 12! Will you be there?

@GroundTruthPics @TheAstroN8 @danhuot @elonmusk A hexagon .75" wide by .25" thick only gets you most of a pin

@GroundTruthPics @TheAstroN8 @danhuot @elonmusk 6 grams to the moon

We truly live in the greatest timeline 😎🇺🇸🚀

@GroundTruthPics @TheAstroN8 @danhuot @elonmusk Astrobotic Griffin 1 is supposed to go up on a FH this year. I've got a small Gangstead pin on board as payload

@TheAstroN8 @Gangstead Me too! Are they ever gonna do a FH again? I feel like FH is an evolutionary step, as it were, in SpaceX's evolution from Falcon to Starship @danhuot @elonmusk

@GroundTruthPics @TheAstroN8 I want to go see a Falcon Heavy launch in Florida this year but it's a rocket half as tall and viewing spots are twice as far away

@TheAstroN8 @Gangstead Its like eating your first steak... But it's a $100 cut of Wagyu beef, prepped and cooked by Gordon Ramsay in your home kitchen room, then he pays you a $1000 dollars.

@TheAstroN8 @GroundTruthPics Definitely the best lens to shoot a launch for $2k. The next step up is a $10k lens or getting closer than the jetty

@GroundTruthPics That would be a solid combo! @Gangstead used the same pair for Flight 8 and got some absolute bangers.

@Caine8887 @NASAAdmin @DarthMac_OG @asherbphotos @thenewarea51 @LaraLeaTrump One of them (N945NA) is on display at @RocketCenterUSA

Took to the skies and discussed NASA and our world-changing mission with @LaraLeaTrump. Tune in tonight at 9pm ET to see how it went ✈️🚀

@RyanHansenSpace Looking forward to getting my 8ft tall starship off the floor

Been spending a lot of time putting together documentation for my 3D Printed 1:50 Starship Pad A OLM. These instructions will be lengthy and detailed, so anyone with the proper tools should be able to build one of these lunch mounts! Here's a WIP sneak peek at some of the documentation!

@DJSnM I’ve literally had hot dog water boiled into an alcoholic seltzer. No regrets

@DJSnM Forgot to make the sarcasm obvious

Ok…. Let’s see how this goes down
