Coming soon to a tracking network near you! ✨ SpaceShip ✨ 📸 credit: @BollingerShip on instagram.

RocketShip is in Paducah, KY and is joining the Ohio River for a brief transit through Olmsted and onto the MS river. #maritime #ohioriver #paducahky #ULARocketShip

Not all heroes wear capes – ours wear hard hats! 👷‍♂️👷‍♀️ Whether they're on the ground or working high above on massive transmission towers and helicopters, our lineworkers are dedicated to keeping power flowing to more than 10 million people we serve. Rain or shine, day or night, we can count on them to get the job done safely. 💪 This Saturday is Lineworker Appreciation Day, and we are grateful for their dedication and service to our region and our nation. 🇺🇸 Learn more about our lineworkers 👉 tva.me/YscC50YLbJ0

@GrantObi how many times will Kraus say "This is not a real photograph" 😅😂

🥳🎂 Please join me in extending warm birthday wishes to my friend and #Expedition27 crewmate Andrei Borisenko! With over 337 days in space across two missions, Andrei is a true veteran of the @Space_Station. Here's to many more amazing orbits! 💫

Here's an inside look at one of the many tests we conducted during Endurance's thermal vacuum chamber (TVAC) testing — the first-ever deployment of its high-gain antenna in the demanding temperature- and vacuum-environment of space. This antenna system will provide high-rate telemetry and video during flight and from the Moon's South Pole. Thank you to the team at @NASA_Johnson and throughout @NASA for the collaboration during these tests. Endurance is now arriving to the Space Coast!

I understand some in the community have an affinity for specific hardware, but the focus should be on outcomes. With respect to SLS, the desired outcome is launching crewed Orion spacecraft at a reasonable cadence, rebuilding muscle memory, and buying down risk so we can land astronauts on the Moon. This is until such time as there are multiple crewed pathways that allow us to undertake lunar missions with even greater frequency and at lower cost, so that Artemis can live on for decades into the future. The idea that Artemis II was only held up by the heat shield is not correct. Administrator Bill Nelson stated in December 2024, two years after Artemis I flew, that we would refly the same heat shield design on Artemis II, yet the mission did not fly until April 2026. On a side note, if leadership knew at the time that Artemis II would not launch until April 2026, it probably would have made sense to replace the heat shield altogether. Even with as clean of a mission as Artemis II, it is hard to imagine waiting until 2028 to fly again and jump right to a lunar landing. SLS and Orion must launch with a reasonable cadence, and we need every opportunity to learn. That is why we added Artemis III, an easy trade against funding programs overbudget and behind schedule, in advance of a landing on Artemis IV. You cannot point to the ML-2 structure and a single EUS tank and say it was “pretty much done" and you certainly have no specifics as to the suitability of stage adapter. The Government Accountability Office has been clear on the timing and remaining costs for both ML-2 and EUS, based on a history of OIG oversight reports. Simply put, we would be committing billions more to troubled programs when we can work cooperatively with the OEM and its joint venture to leverage an in-production upper stage with decades of flight heritage and get very good at turning ML-1. Of course, we retain the option of working with industry on ML-2, converting it to the SLS standard, or harvesting parts. I am not here to favor companies or perpetuate underperforming programs. I do not want to throw away billions of taxpayer dollars, and time we do not have, on a flavor of a rocket that is not necessary to return astronauts to the moon. Those billions could go toward more Artemis missions or more science and discovery. Our focus must be on the immensely hard task of sending astronauts to the Moon with frequency and safely so we can land and stay. Above all else, I care about outcomes, and so does the hardworking team at NASA, focused on delivering for the American people and everyone around the world who eagerly await the headlines we all experienced this past weekend.

RocketShip is through the Tennessee Wiggles and is now entering Kentucky lock the lock apart of Kentucky Dam was the first navigational Lock the Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) designed #maritime #tennesseeriver #kentuckylock #ULARocketShip

"Top Gun 3" is officially in the works at Paramount, with Tom Cruise set to return and Jerry Bruckheimer producing, as announced at #CinemaCon. variety.com/2026/film/news…

We love watching the locals come out to watch us go by. This was truly awesome, with this kid holding a model of Artemis! They for sure got a whistle blast! #rocketshipping

@CaptTSulli niiiiice! though now im jealous, I never got a whistle blast 😅

RocketShip is entering Pickwick Lock, not the last lock of the trip but its the last before the "Tennessee Wiggles" Pickwick started its construction in the 1934 and completed its construction in 1938 #maritime #pickwicklock #tennesseeriver #ULARocketShip

And out RS goes, next stop before the Tennessee wiggles is Pickwick lock

RocketShip is entering the second lock of the trip, Wilson lock. Wilson Lock has the highest single-lift lock east of the Rockies with a 94 ft. lift in the main lock, and its that very lock RS goes through every trip #maritime #tennesseeriver #wilsonlock #ULARocketShip

let the google takeover begin!!! (for legal reasons this is a joke) fan group is front page of Google once again, and this time everything is showing up

into Wheeler RS goes, should be about an hour in the lock And a little fun fact about Wheeler's Dam, it is the longest dam part of the TVA coming in at 6,342 feet, and generates 411,800 kilowatts for the surrounding area. #maritime #tennesseeriver #wheelerlock #ULARocketShip

@torybruno @blueorigin ill take it though. Hardly know any of whats going on now with sooooo many companies doing so many amazing things, cant keep up half the time and thats a great thing

@CheckRideAir @blueorigin Very close

Thanks for playing along for a bit of fun. “Project Quartz” is a brand new, @blueorigin global network of ground stations and Operation Centers. Here’s pics of the first one about to go in. It will revolutionize space operations, but that’s a story for another time…

RS approaching Wheeler lock #maritime #tennesseeriver #wheelerlock #ULARocketShip
