Been a while since I've posted a timelapse of Falcon 9 Second Stage "musical chairs" action at SpaceX McGregor. This afternoon, the next Stage 2 arrived and switched places with the last Stage 2, which soon departed for its upcoming mission at a space port near you! @NASASpaceflight | nsf.live/mcgregor

High cadence launch needs high cadence testing. With more than 100 launches in backlog (and counting), we're building a new state-of-the-art test facility to accelerate static fire stack testing for Electron and HASTE rockets. Check out the new test pad underway within our Propulsion Test Complex 🧵👇

That’s way too high. Actual number will be more like 6 to 8.

Just now, on the Aerospace Safety Advisory Panel call, member Charlie Precourt said the latest estimate for refuelings needed to support a Starship landing on the Moon is "around 22" launches.

Masseys Test site is clearing for possible testing! Close views up now @NASASpaceflight nsf.live/starbase

Happy 65th birthday, NASA’s Stennis Space Center! 🎉 On Oct 25, 1961, NASA announced plans to build a rocket test site in south Mississippi to support the Apollo Program. In the decades since, work at the site has helped power every major chapter of America’s space program.

Welcome back Falcon 9! ASOG returns home to Port Canaveral with B1085 securely on board, a sight that is set to become much less common as Falcon 9 operations slow dramatically at the Cape.

A sight that’s starting to feel novel again… Falcon 9 first stage B1085 has returned to Port Canaveral aboard SpaceX’s recovery drone ship “A Shortfall of Gravitas,” after launching the Bandwagon-5 mission this past Tuesday morning. With no Falcon launch operations expected for the next ~6 weeks from Florida, that would mark the longest gap between Space Coast launches since 2020. 📸 - @NASASpaceflight nsf.live/spacecoast

Should be seeing road closures for Booster 22 to the pad and Static Fire testing soon.

BREAKING: The first indication of @BlueOrigin's New Glenn Return-To-Flight is here... December 28, 2026. The CADENA air traffic advisory lists this mission as "New Glenn 4.1". The rocket which exploded was "New Glenn-4". As ever, these dates are extremely provisional, and should be taken with a pinch of salt until more concrete information is released. 📷 @thenasaman/@NASASpaceflight

A new high profile missions slide has been published. While the Starship launch dates remain the same, New Glenn's return to flight has been added with a NET date of December 28 compass.atfm.aero/public_svc…

Starship Ship 43 has arrived to Massey's for its cryo testing campaign, 4 days after its potential flight 16 partner Booster 23 returned from its cryo campaign. Could this be the first Ship to fly out of the Kennedy Space Center? @NASASpaceflight | nsf.live/starbase

Amazing to hear from @TurkeyBeaver, @jstyer, and Mark Soltys tonight in Cocoa Village, sharing their stories from SpaceX over the years—from recovering Ship 40 to their human spaceflight program and so much more. And as if the Florida Starship hype train wasn’t already gathering speed, after hearing what really lies ahead for the Space Coast, it’s full steam ahead. Bring it on!
