Finished my Mk2 Iron Man helmet. Just the rest of the suit to go! Lol

Gerst: Metallic heat shield tiles "didn't work so well" on the last Starship test flight. arstechnica.com/space/2025/09/…

@DavidEn24539628 @KenKirtland17 We weren’t talking about starship, but since you brought it up. Starship isn’t flying people, emphasis on human lives, to a multi billion dollar space station.

@KenKirtland17 Also worth remembering that Starship has yet to have a clean orbital flight without losing multiple engines.

It’s worth remembering Starliner has yet to ever have a clean test. Pad Abort - failed parachute OFT-1 - the big one (too much to list) OFT-2 - service module 2 year delay due to service module issues, thruster issues on orbit CFT - ongoing (leaks, thruster issues)

@SilvanisKillian @ucindel @peterrhague @DJSnM Your fault for thinking an spaceflight project would meet a deadline… lol

@ucindel @peterrhague @DJSnM Pardon me for taking spacex at its word that it would be human ready in 2022 And yet here we are

The future space station projects which will replace the ISS will all be built differently from the ISS. The shuttle could carry components up and assemble the station, but station modules being built today all need their own propulsion, power, attitude control & guidance so they can either be self reliant, or, maneuver to their final destination. That’s how the soviet stations were built, and that’s how China’s station was built. Until there’s a space tug that can deliver dumb station modules after reaching orbit the ISS is going to be unique in this respect.

NEWS 🚨: The Event Horizon Telescope has captured the first image of our supermassive black hole, Sagittarius A, in polarized light

"loosing a single tile would mean a loss of vehicle" Meanwhile starship re entering 90° angle with half the steel side exposed:

@WLR_2678 @dsshhh114 Very cool, hope we get to see it in action soon

@MaxQRockets @dsshhh114 Patents suggest that the ropes will be waiting at quite some distance then tighten in once the booster is sufficiently close and final trajectory though the net is certain. A tolerance likely comparable to leg landing and the ropes can also help to centre the booster once landed.

The reusable Long March 10 launch vehicle for low-Earth orbit will use a rope recovery ship to recover the rocket, it was revealed.

@Oldscho20031321 @Teslaconomics @elonmusk Did they make it to orbit? No. It’s a 3rd attempt at an orbital flight. Yes they learned, but the system failed to get to orbit and that’s okay

@Teslaconomics @elonmusk It's not a 3rd 'attempt'... The first two weren't failures. These are all learning exercises...

Starship Flight 3 preparing for launch

We are thrilled that Intuitive Machine's lunar lander and Embry-Riddle's EagleCam landed on the moon -- intact! Congratulations to all involved! #GoERAU #ERAUToTheMoon

@kerrydevans @thesheetztweetz What x?

@thesheetztweetz Do you think the X is a tribute to, or an attempt to poke fun at Space x or just an accident?

Rocket Lab $RKLB gives an update on Neutron development, saying it's begun testing a Stage 2 tank to demonstrate and verify structural integrity:

Model S Plaid track pack coming soon

@SX_Falcon_5 @ValsAerospace I would agree with this, but at the same time, isn’t how this entire program has gone? I’m finding hard to be surprised lately, lol

@ValsAerospace At this point I’m wondering if B7 and S24 were even originally intended to fly, or if they were pathfinders forced into flight. It’s very clear that B9 and S27 are manufactured to a far higher standard.

check out those tiles, god damn. Infinitely better. to those who said SN24’s heat shield would’ve survived needs to take a look at when they ACTUALLY try making a heat shield. the difference is incredible.

For those who have been skeptical about Starships tiles (myself included), check out that nosecone!

Imagine in 100 years, vacations to the moon are common place, and the Earthrise is the overplayed go to photo to post on social media… 😂

Imagine the Wright Brothers seeing this... twitter.com/ilove_aviation…

Never understood why people will complain that someone isn’t donating to charity, but as soon as they confirm that they actually are, it’s a bad thing…

Defending SpaceX employees, in no way slandering Elon, (who yes, has made significant contributions), and then I get this… I’m tired of you internet 😒

@MihulkaS @Cmdr_Hadfield And he didn’t single-handedly build the rocket. 1,000s of people contributed to it for hours and hours of their day. Get out of your convoluted head man

@Cmdr_Hadfield It's not about success or failure. musk does not deserve sympathy.

For those who feel @SpaceX's Starship test flight didn't go well, here are the very first flights of the F-14 and F-16. The test pilots survived.
