POV: You’re coming home after a journey around the Moon. 🌕 Before reentering Earth’s atmosphere at the end of Artemis II, the Orion spacecraft’s crew module — carrying the astronauts — separated from the service module that provided propulsion and power throughout the mission.

That's beautiful 🥲

@Truthful_ast Happy birthday!

I’m so blessed to share a birthday with the greatest space station ever launched

This is not an eclipse, but an even more rare sight: a crescent Mars as seen by NASA’s #MissionToPsyche spacecraft. The unprocessed image — taken by Psyche today — shows the night side of Mars as the spacecraft approaches the Red Planet for a flyby on May 15. The glowing crescent is sunlight reflected from the day side of the planet's surface, as well as sunlight passing through its atmosphere. The irregularities in the crescent are likely caused by surface features, and dust and clouds in the atmosphere.  1/2

I actually did post on X regarding the report a month or so ago. I really value the IG work at NASA. It is a sobering story, and as I wrote previously, it should serve as a cautionary tale about contracting methods, especially leaning into an 'as-a-service' model when NASA is the only customer and before a market has matured. The report was also largely written before the changes we implemented a few months ago, when I posted publicly about the NASA resources we are embedding across the supply chain to take an active role, clear blockers and drive outcomes. That statement applies to the entirety of Artemis acceleration initiative, the Moon Base buildout, and other key programs... We won't sit on our hands...and the suits will be tested in LEO in 2027.

ahh I hate clouds 😭

Planning is underway for our Artemis III mission, which will test the capabilities of NASA's Orion spacecraft and one or both commercial landers from @BlueOrigin and @SpaceX as they meet and dock in Earth's orbit. Details: go.nasa.gov/4nvfifB

Our Stage 1 structure is now shipped, delivered, and ready for testing in Moses Lake, WA. Standing in its full vertical orientation, this flight hardware will be thoroughly vetted before returning to Kent for some final touches before the journey to Cape Canaveral, FL begins.

@formularacers_ @Motorsport_IT NICEEEE

🚨 | Mercedes are understood to be preparing a significant upgrade package for the Canadian GP. Alongside aerodynamic upgrades, the W17 is also expected to be lighter. [@Motorsport_IT]

F9 success streak: 285, landing streak: 269

@otherside_X42 What's the problem, that's like the best possible time

Launch rehearsal complete. During a flight-like countdown, more than 5,000 metric tonnes (11+ million pounds) of propellant were loaded on the fully stacked Starship and Super Heavy V3 vehicles for the first time

First full stack of Starship V3

oh my god???

@F1BigData that's -1 point for every upgrade they brought to Miami lmao

From the Moon to the Paddock 🌙 We welcomed the legendary @astro_reid into our family 👏

The view from inside Integrity as recovery forces pop open the hatch…watching the helicopter pass over their shoulders and hearing all the joy, it was as good as it gets.

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.
