Looks like it was just a quick leg stretch for @BlueOrigin's Landing Platform Jacklyn & Support Vessel Harvey Stone - both returned last night to Port Canaveral after ~10 hours at sea. 📷 Space Coast Live/@NASASpaceflight

Recovery Ship Jacklyn & Support Vessel Harvey Stone were caught departing Port Canaveral this afternoon on @NASASpaceflight Space Coast Live. It feels very early to be preparing for New Glenn-3, so this is likely sea trials/testing. Can you share any insight @davill?

NSF's Starship Update may be late, but SpaceX is certainly moving ahead at a fast pace with Pad 2 & v3 booster testing. This week's Starship Update with @_MaxQ_ is out and he breaks it all down. Watch Here: youtu.be/oZTjtwIilbc

@Cosmic_Penguin What I'm gathering is a group of engineers went to the drawing board and tried to create a more wacky rocket than Ares I-X And they succeeded

@dpoddolphinpro BTW: * this rocket's payload fairing separates upwards in one piece * The "tip/LAS" of the fairing actually contains the roll-control RCS thrusters during the rocket's initial phase of flight

BREAKING: A second @FAAnews Obstruction Evaluation / Airport Airspace Analysis entry has been posted, with @SpaceX proposing another 320ft (97.5m) Communications Tower north of SLC-37. 🗺️ Google Earth/SIO/NOAA/US Navy/NGA/GEBCO

According to a new @FAAnews Obstruction Evaluation / Airport Airspace Analysis entry, @SpaceX is proposing to build a 320ft (97.5m) Communications Tower immediately south of LC-39A. For comparison, this is only slightly shorter than the Fixed Service Structure (FSS) at the Falcon pad, which is 105.7m tall. The only information known about this permanent structure is its location, its height, that it will hold antennas, and that it will be marked with red lights. 📷 Google Earth/Airbus

STATIC FIRE! @MHI_Group have tested the H3 in its new H3-30S configuration ahead of its first flight, which features its 3 main engines in a similar configuration to the Space Shuttle (it's hydrolox as well!) The burn lasted ~50 seconds. H3-30S means H3 rocket, 3 engines, 0 solids, Short fairing. 📷 @JAXA_en

Those fairings look toasty, but everything I'm finding online says @MHI_Group don't re-use fairings? Does anyone know what's going on here?

@engine_rich I disagree with your assessment of “constant” merch promotions - we typically do one , about 60 seconds or less, around T-10 minutes. Not a ~5 minute promo at T-5 minutes. And for that matter, we never take away the view of the rocket.

A change in official Starlink launch webcast programming - pre-launch has become an promotion reel for Starlink. I am happy to report that I know some people who will be showing the rocket during this phase of the countdown.
