One more orbit (around EPCOT) @rookisaacman @Gillis_SarahE @KiddPoteet @annawmenon @johnkrausphotos @PolarisProgram

@GroundTruthPics @mymatrixplug @NASASpaceflight 😂

The future is here!

Go for launch! 🚀

I love Vandy

F12 🚀

🚀TEST LIKE YOU FLY🚀

I already struggled to find the stoplights and bicycles. What kind of Captcha is this?!

@elonmusk There’s also nothing like the first tight turn in a normal car after driving a Cybertruck constantly. 😂

Cybertruck is so awesome. Until you’ve tried it out, you have no idea, because there’s nothing like it. Best product Tesla has ever made to date.

I don't think there is anyone on the planet who has done more live rocket broadcasts than me. I literally have done *hundreds* of them over the last 18 years. And some of the largest launch broadcasts on the planet too! I say this not to brag, but to convey a level of expertise in launch broadcasts that I think few, if any, can beat. Ok, maybe brag a little 👸 I know a lot of people were not super happy with NASA's coverage, specifically at liftoff. But man, let me tell you... As someone who has done hundreds of these... IT IS FREAKING HARD! I have personally had bad liftoff sequences too. It happens. And it sucks. And I hated it when I did that. To me. And to you. It is hard to convey just how complex liftoff is during a broadcast. It is a moment in time where nearly every view is available, but very few are viable. You never truly know which ones will be viable either, so it's a guessing game and a bit of luck. You have to scan through to find the shots that work, but you only have *seconds* to do this. Seconds. I have learned over the years that a technical director (vision mixer) needs an A and B plan for liftoff. Generally engines -> pass through -> medium -> wide -> super wide -> track scope -> track spot for the A plan. The B plan is usually far easier with engines -> wide -> super wide -> track scope. The switcher control surface needs to be set up to execute these plans extremely quickly. And even if you do all of this, a gust of wind blowing smoke the wrong way can foil the best of plans. It. Is. Hard. I hear ya all, but let's cut NASA some slack here. They have amazing people working the launch. They have many people they need to support in their broadcast including the media, schools, NASA employees, government officials, and the public. It is like getting pulled in a billion different ways all at once. Was liftoff coverage epic? No. I mean, it just wasn't. Will they learn from this and make Artemis III better? I believe they will. I know the people working these things, and they are great. Don't let one launch paint a bad picture here. There is enough space for everyone. If you didn't like NASA's coverage, then @NASASpaceflight, @TLPN_Official, @Erdayastronaut, @SpaceflightNow and more had other, amazing options that may suit your tastes better. We live in a time where you have incredible options. It's awesome and exciting. Oh, and WE HAVE FOUR HUMANS GOING TO THE MOON RIGHT NOW! Lets be excited about that instead!

@LelloucheNico @rjonesy How do I upvote this?!

@rjonesy I don’t know if you’ve seen this website, but this would be a really great add-on in a future update. On Air France, it’s currently impossible to know before boarding stardrift.ai/starlink

This release was a huge test of team fortitude. It kept getting deeper and deeper. Very proud of our resilience and the new ground we cover.

If the future doesn’t look like this, we’re doing it wrong.

@OwenSparks This team is elite!

Huge shoutout to the production crew and event staff! While it may seem trivial, lighting, design, camera work, and music play a vital role in conveying important messages like Terafab, and most importantly in inspiring the public.

This felt like the beginning of a movie. Civilizations greatest endeavor accelerates now.

Shoot! Not the engines too!

@Sojourner_Art @GeneralWoofy Actually just an iPhone 16 Pro Max

@GeneralWoofy @_lpierce the aspect ratio and how the image looks makes me think actual camera but im not sure

Bring it back, it’s missing a grid fin.

@pronounced_kyle @Astranis 😂 So true! We cleared so many episodes.

@_lpierce @Astranis 😂😂 thank you for your sacrifice. With the delays I think we made it through the entire catalog

When you buy a SpaceX rocket, they let you watch the launch at one of their buildings at Cape Canaveral. One small detail that stuck with me: their building has a kid's room! It ruled. Stocked with snacks, Bluey playing on the TV... SpaceX is a pro-human company, and it shows.
