Regarding the Booster fwd inside Ship Bay...there's now a good chance we'll never know what, exactly, was done, as the door has been closed. @LabPadre

18.3 has been placed inside the structural test stand at Masseys we can see the hydraulic rams that will be used to perform testing the outer grid fin sockets now housed inside the methane tank. Also since they are the load points for catching and stacking testing is needed to validate these changes on V3. Thanks @lifeatstagezero

Sky full of stars. Following a successful lunar flyby, the Artemis II astronauts captured this breathtaking photo of our galaxy, the Milky Way, on April 7, 2026.

Teams encapsulated the Cygnus XL spacecraft ahead of Falcon 9’s fourth launch of @northropgrumman's commercial resupply mission to the @Space_Station → spacex.com/launches/ng24

The tank farm!

Hangin' with Rocket Lab $RKLB Warkworth NZ Stage 2 separation testing on Thursdays evening 9 April.

“You can see the surface of the Moon…we just went sci-fi.” On flight day seven, images from our @NASAArtemis II crew amazed, turning science fiction to reality. From the lunar far side to a solar eclipse from the Moon, the views are EVERYTHING. No pressure to pick a favorite.

Scaffbegone must have been applied to the inner ring of LM-2...as a crane is taking basket loads away. Another step closer to Booster 19's return? Work has also started on Lanky Larry, with the jib section (just) visibly being removed, left of the tower. @LabPadre

🚨 $RKLB completes their recently announced ATM offering, raising $474 million. “Rocket Lab intends to use the net proceeds from the ATM Program to fund future growth, including potential future acquisitions, and for general corporate and working capital purposes.”

@OliviaStalvey @Erdayastronaut That's awesome!!

My child (non verbal autistic btw) just exited the NASA stream and put @Erdayastronaut on instead 🤣🤣 I raised him well. Had no idea Tim was live right now though so thanks kid

To my homies out there chasing a dragon named Artemis... Godspeed to you all <3

Crazy how the watery comes back at the camera as the engines pass

Yay! Lanky Larry, the super-tall LR11000 has a job today! More lifts to the top of Tower-2. @LabPadre

GALLERY UPDATE! Starbase TX photo collection by Jakubik Photography galleries.page.link/vUu8J

NOTAM issued for 3rd to 14th April, with a TFR of 10,000ft for the Massey's area...so most likely that's when SX plan to Static Fire Ship 39. tfr.faa.gov/tfr3/?page=det…

The first piece of vertical cladding, for the top section of Tower-2, has been lifted and fitted into place...after a little fettling to make it fit. @LabPadre

SpaceX have finally begun the installation of cladding around the drawworks systems at the top of Tower 2 - 📸: @LabPadre

Another beautiful deluge test, complete with rainbow. (only one today...so far...) @LabPadre

In this weeks flyover I cover the changes at SpaceX, Blue Origin, ULA, NASA and the rest of the Cape. Please consider my Patreon (later today) for dozens more shots from the flyover and take at look at @MarcusHouse & Avid Space @LabPadre You Tube episodes this weekend for more shots and in depth updates. @SpaceFlorida

Starbase is overworldly
