@DrPhiltill Much eye candy!

Ok, here’s a little thread of some of the recent, awesome fluid dynamics content on here. 1. Checkout the computer modeling of airflow over an aircraft! 1/N

It was 4:20 somewhere - March 13, 2026 - @SpaceIntel101

@John_Winkopp Early, good. Late, bad. 🤗

Anybody else get fooled by the change in launch time. I usually catch it well before T-0, but today I was caught looking. Got a nice sunrise though.

@DimaZeniuk @Starlink I love Starlink’s capacity for doing good works. But perish the thought that you couldn’t check the stock market while sipping a martini in the hot tub. 😱

Thanks to SpaceX @Starlink, Antarctica is no longer cut off from the world

@ISAS_JAXA_EN 👍

[Launch & Experiment] Cooperative exploration with a swarm of small robots in a cave in Queensland, Australia, to test future underground exploration on the Moon or Mars! 🤖 Read more 🔗: isas.jaxa.jp/en/topics/0042…

@wvmattz @NASASpaceflight Oh my. They are moving so fast. It’s Great!

This morning in Florida, SpaceX installed the Methane BQD Hood on to the launch mount at historic LC-39A. Progress continues ahead of a future where Starships are launching right next to where Shuttles used to launch! @NASASpaceflight | nsf.live/spacecoast

@cnunezimages @SpaceIntel101 Oooooh! !

Imagine two stacks at the same time... - March 17, 2026 - @SpaceIntel101

@planet4589 Safer packs contain a 10 ksi carbon fiber wrapped stainless steel bottle!

Spacewalk US EVA-94 is underway on the ISS. Astronauts Meir and Williams, in suits 3015 and 3003 and with SAFER packs 15 and 18 depressurized the airlock past 50 mbar at 1246 UTC, opened the hatch at 1251 UTC and put suits on batt power at 1252 UTC

@VickiCocks15 @LabPadre Hey, you godda problum wit my nuw yawk accendt?

Boostah back in Boostah Bay! AKA Booster 19 has made the journey from Pad-2 back to MB-1. @LabPadre

@FelixSchlang And that’s, perhaps, the most wonderful thing!

Things I did not expect when I uploaded the first WAI episode seven years ago… 🤯 Like and subscribe! 🤘

@FelixSchlang Starship gonna be mighty mighty busy!!

Big news! 88,000 satellite filing is underway with the FCC. Starcloud-2 is launching in 2027 with a 100x increased electricity generation compared to Starcloud-1. One to watch. 🔥

@MarcusHouse Annnnd it has cleared the pad!

Annnnd... we have lift off of booster 19! 😛

@mcrs987 @BingoBoca Yup. Bake it in or cook it off?

@BingoBoca It'll probably get wiped clean off in flight

It's funny how the mineral deposits from the deluge can actually be a good indicator of which engines fired. They're not using purified water so there will be material deposited over the hotter surfaces as the water vapor that contacts it evaporates quicker. You can see it especially striking over the lox supply to the fuel preburner where there's regen channels around it, clearly outlining mineral deposits on top of the engine thanks to the matte black coating making it especially obvious

@AshleyKillip Oh, mistook them for Raptor V1s…🤔

So cool

@DrPhiltill Misread this as having been said by Elon: ““It’s com­pletely non­sensical,” he said.” 🤪

@dpoddolphinpro Thank Goodness !

@VickiCocks15 @nightskypaws @LabPadre Yes!!!

@jofredrick @nightskypaws @LabPadre Watch to the very end...probably best full screen or zoomed if you can...behind where the last Cybertruck had been parked...

I'ma call this one "Remember the fallen". AKA "Pad (in the process of) being cleared. LOX BQD door closed, both blast doors closed and vehicles (mostly) shipped out... @LabPadre
