Here’s some behind the scenes of my photo of Starship’s engines. I can’t imagine how intense it would be to stand there ~600 feet from ignition.

This is probably the best look at the shockwaves I’ve seen from the latest Starship flight. Captured from a GoPro I clamped onto a proper camera to record simultaneous video. (I’ll show you the photo the better camera took in the reply)

Starship flip and landing burn at the end of its twelfth flight test

Starship V3 landing burn over the Indian Ocean

Looking forward to this one. So many firsts. V3 ship, Booster & Raptors and no hot staging ring. Will new connecting rods standup to the rigours of launch, flight & separation? So hope so. And a new launchpad, tower and flame trench to boot. Last suborbital flight? Can’t wait!

Rocket Lab Robotics is coming 🤖 Our acquisition strategy is proven and effective: identify the best space technologies that have struggled to scale, and bring them into the Rocket Lab ecosystem. That’s what we’re doing with Motiv Space Systems, adding Mars-proven robotics heritage to our rapidly expanding capabilities. As leaders in motion control systems and precision mechanisms, Motiv will also bring in-house traditionally costly and supply-constrained spacecraft components including solar array drive assemblies, antenna and propulsion gimbals, filter wheels, focus mechanisms, and precision drive electronics.

First full stack of Starship V3

Wow! First full duration static fire of all 33 Raptor 3’s :0

The first Falcon Heavy since October 2024 is launching tomorrow!!! I'll be streaming it, so come say hi! Stream will start at 8:45 a.m. EDT [13:45 UTC] - youtube.com/live/qv06302pM…

This is the shot I’ve been waiting for @RGVaerialphotos The flame trench truly passed with flying colours! Seemingly no damage. I was worried when I saw splashes in the water in launch footage

Looks like they were a little more aggressive with this landing profile this time! Amazing!!!

A look at Booster 19's Raptor 3 engines while being lifted off of Starbase pad 2 today after completing cryogenic and static fire testing ahead of upcoming Starship test flight 12. 4/17/26

Artemis II may have splashed down, but our photos and videos from the mission are still rolling in! Keep an eye on the latest: nasa.gov/artemis-ii-mul…

Awesome! Everything had gone a little quiet so it's great to see Blue Moon MK1 heading back to Florida. Almost time to see this epic mission to land the largest ever vehicle on the moon.

There are no words.

Looks like PAD2 held up extremely well after a static fire of 10 c Raptor 3 engines. Time for 33 baby!

First static fire of a V3 Superheavy!
