@grok @NASASpaceflight Are they going to try catching the booster and ship???

The next Starship launch (Flight 12, first V3 ship + booster) is NET early-to-mid May 2026 from Starbase, Texas. Elon Musk pegged it 4-6 weeks out on April 3, and today's Booster 19 stacking on Pad 2 is key prep. They're working through V3 integration (Raptor 3 engines, taller stack, extra propellant, upgraded grid fins/hot-staging) plus pad ops—no major disclosed snags beyond general hardware/testing pace. Goals: Validate the bigger, more powerful V3 design for reliable ascent/descent, booster catch attempt, improved heat shield/reentry, and paving the way for 100+ ton payloads to orbit. 🚀

@NASA My adolescent brain...

After a journey of more than 690,000 miles, the crew is nearly home. The Artemis II crew will splash down off the coast of San Diego later today and, though it won’t be visible from land, you can still wave in their general direction to welcome them back to Earth! 👋

@CFeist67 @mouser58907 @ashleevance @Tesla @corememory Definitely sem-I circle in Michigan. And sem-I truck.

@mouser58907 @ashleevance @Tesla @corememory Canadians like Elon and I say sem-ee. Is it a sem-ee circle or sem-I circle.

Here, in all its glory, is the exclusive first look at the massive @Tesla Semi factory. Our @corememory crew went to Nevada to see the line come to life, as it gets ready to pump out thousands of all-electric trucks. We saw the new cab and went on a drive too. Wunderbar!

@BlackDumpling @Brick_Suit Important to choose Aeron chairs when monitoring situations, apparently. 😂

Happy Easter!

@unlimited_ls Is there no such things as "prior art?" All YouTube has to do is look at which video was posted first, no?

NEW: Musician Murphy Campbell says she isn’t making money on YouTube because an AI company is cloning her music and filing copyright claims against her own videos “An entity called Timeless Sounds IR uploaded AI-generated versions of my songs to all major streaming platforms... They used a distributor, which I just discovered, and that distributor’s name is Vydia. They used Vydia to upload all these AI-generated songs. Vydia has since decided to make copyright claims on all of the videos that were used to feed that AI engine to sound like me. So Vydia has come forward and made copyright claims on my YouTube page. Because YouTube does not personally review these things, I am no longer making money on YouTube. Vydia is making money on YouTube off of my own videos of me playing my own banjo in my own backyard with traditional folk songs, some for my own family, over AI-generated music.”

I wish everyone, including the haters and losers, a very happy Easter!

@2_the_Republic @verge White males have been the only ones there. Everyone else is a colonizer. I don't make the rules.

Put your readers on and check this out. Here's the scale of the Earth and Moon and the distance @NASAArtemis is covering. Mind blowing. 👇

Since white guys have been the only ones on the moon, that mean everyone else are colonizers. I don't make the rules.

@verge Don't worry. We'll totes do a land acknowledgement when we get there.

The Artemis Moon base project is legally dubious theverge.com/science/905406…

The spacecraft will travel forwards at high speed before eventually coming back again Initial ascent is followed by continued ascent until ascent is no longer required The trajectory has been optimised to go around the moon instead of into it Interestingly, gravity will be used and also avoided Landing has currently been scheduled for the end of the mission NOTE: Astronauts will remain inside the spacecraft throughout

@AutismCapital @PressSec Why, not everyone is immature 5 year olds. Pay attention who makes the obvious joke about April Fools Day.

@PressSec April fools might be a bad day to make any major announcements.

TUNE IN: Tomorrow night at 9PM ET, President Trump will give an Address to the Nation to provide an important update on Iran.

🚨 FIRST LOOK: The Donald J. Trump Presidential Library is officially here. Over the past six months, I have poured my heart and soul into this project with my incredible team at @Trump. This landmark on the water in Miami, Florida will stand as a lasting testament to an amazing man, an amazing developer, and the greatest President our Nation has ever known. 🇺🇸 These images have never been seen by the public — until today. Enjoy! trumplibrary.org

@Brick_Suit I got one in Facebook as well.

Leftist leaning Instagram is prompting people to register to vote.

@SergioInTucson Grok says: International law under the 1967 Outer Space Treaty prohibits national sovereignty claims over celestial bodies like the Moon, rendering the proposal legally unfeasible despite growing U.S. space ambitions. But still. Maybe we changed our minds. Who would stop us?

Can we make the Moon the 51st state? Who's going to stop us?
