SpaceX gears up for Starship Flight 13 spacenews.com/spacex-gears-u…

The path to launch is filled with obstacles and success is only possible through the tireless efforts of many working together towards a common goal. “Critical Path” continues the ongoing Starship series, following SpaceX engineers through the final days before launch of the first Starship V3 and the challenges that come with development of the world’s most powerful and fully reusable rocket.

I am at a loss for words. I woke up this morning fully expecting that today would be another busy, but completely normal day. 6 month old baby Charlotte had an appointment with an ophthalmologist this morning to determine what the cause of her crossed eyes is, an appointment that we scheduled two months ago. I got to the appointment with all three of my daughters in tow. After the doctor analyzed her eyes she sent us up to Primary Children’s hospital in Salt Lake City to get an ultrasound on her eyes because she saw some irregularities that she wanted to have checked out. I drove the half hour to get there, and Stuart left work early to meet me at the hospital and walked in right as the ultrasound was underway. I held baby Charlotte to me while turned away from the screen to allow the doctor to get the image. Stuart looked at the screen and said “whoa, that’s big”. And my heart dropped. They discovered a cancerous tumor behind her left eye and partially into her right eye called Retinoblastoma that is causing her not to be able to straighten her eyes out. I didn’t know what to think. A million questions and emotions poured through me as I tried to get a mental handle on the situation. I’m still trying. I’m still in shock. I still don’t know what to do or what to think. They discussed a need for an MRI to confirm the diagnosis and determine the full scope of the cancer and if it has spread to other parts of her little body. They discussed treatment options which include chemotherapy and surgery. They explained to us that the team of experts for this particular condition is located in Phoenix and we will need to get there as quickly as possible to begin treatment. I still don’t feel like I have a grasp on the situation, and I don’t know what the short term and long term looks like for Charlotte, Stuart, my family or for myself. But I do know that the most important favor that I can ask from any of you is to send a sincere prayer to our Father in Heaven and ask him to make it all okay, whatever that might look like. Prayer works, prayer is real, and prayer will help myself and my family get through this. Please pray for baby Charlotte. ❤️

@_MaxQ_ I am hoping NSF puts some prints of this launch in their store! It was a memorable one!

@HalMSands That’s great news!

He is out of surgery and recovering well. His oxygen levels were a bit lower than they would like, but overall it was an extremely successful surgery! Thank y’all so much for the prayers. The outpouring of support for my son is amazing to see and means so much to me!

@HalMSands Sending love 🙏🏼

My big guy is going in for heart surgery this morning I have never been more nervous about anything Y’all keep us in your prayers today 🙏

@MavrocksGirl 🙏🏼

I was in a bad accident and broke some stuff. I am really struggling. Prayers would be appreciated 🙏

@esherifftv Yay!

I’m back with my baby ❤️🥹🙏

Update: they were monitoring me for a mild case of preeclampsia. My liver levels were elevated but my bp has stabilized. They did a liver ultrasound and we don’t have the results yet but they think I’m stable enough to go home so I am now safely at home with my baby. Thank you everyone for the prayers.

@esherifftv 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

Having to be readmitted to the hospital five days postpartum is heartbreaking for me as a new mom. My baby is doing amazing, it’s me, the mom who is having some health issues. If you pray, I humbly ask you to please pray for me.

@AyanAbdullePHD Congrats! 🎊

I don’t tweet often. I only have 8 followers. But I will graduate with my PhD soon and I want to tell everyone! (well 8 people at least)

@esherifftv Congratulations Ellie!!! ❤️

Our baby wanted to come to the world a little ahead of schedule. Baby Orson was born almost 9 lbs! He is a big and handsome fella and mommy and daddy are smitten. 💙 we had quite a rollercoaster birth with many parts of it traumatic… 18 hours of unexpected labor and pushing at 38 weeks ended in a c section. Luckily mommy and baby are safe and healthy and we are so beyond grateful for our son. And I’m so lucky to have such a supportive husband.

@SciGuySpace @AmandaBerger79 Happy Father’s Day!

@DJSnM @SciGuySpace Yikes!

@SciGuySpace I found a photo of one of the repair operations, they literally drill a hole through the pressure hull to stop the crack propagating and then immediately seal it with epoxy.

I was able to get some more information about why NASA took the dramatic step 10 days ago of sending its astronauts into Crew Dragon for 'safe haven.' Spoiler alert: It involves saws and drills in space. arstechnica.com/space/2026/06/…

Revenge of the Sith is the best Star Wars movie and the rest aren’t even close

@ApoStructura That didn’t age well!

Today feels like a good day to reshare this clip of Ariane Aerospace’s CEO calling SpaceX’s reusability plans “a dream”
