Potentially a certain ship spotted on AIS... unsure if SpaceShip did actually go to Ft. Lauderdale or whats really going on, but afaik this is the first time @ulalaunch's R/S SpaceShip has talked to terrestrial AIS ground stations.👀

United Launch Alliance’s rocket transport vessel Rocketship departed yesterday around 7:40 AM EDT. Always great to see @CaptTSulli and his crew. Smooth seas on the trip back to Alabama. Hope to see y’all again soon! Currently near Key West.👋🚀⛴️

ULA Rocketship arrival!
The specialized rocket transport ro-ro vessel “Rocketship” has entered Port Canaveral after a 7-day trip down the Tennessee River, the Ohio, and the Mississippi to the Gulf. Likely Vulcan rocket stuff aboard. Always good to see @CaptTSulli & crew. 👋🚀⛴️

Rocketstuff headed to Cape Canaveral today on ULA’s Rocketship - a specialized ro-ro rocket carrier. Unknown ULA Vulcan-related cargo likely. Arrival at Port Canaveral probably around September 17th. Smooth sailing to @CaptTSulli and crew! 👍🚀⛴️
RocketShip is locking through Wilson lock

Bit late to the party but you can't forget about RocketShip! No countdown can start without her and the crew.

United Launch Alliance’s (ULA) specialized roll-on, roll-off rocket transport vessel Rocketship departed Port Canaveral this morning at dawn. Fair winds and following seas to @CaptTSulli and crew on their way back to Alabama!👋🚀⛴️

Almost forgot to post the arrival of ULA’s Rocketship from last Saturday morning.
This dedicated rocket transport ro-ro is always a pleasant sight to see delivering yet more essential “rocketstuff” for the Cape. It seems @CaptTSulli & crew are still in Port Canaveral. 👋👍🚀⛴️
Our arrival the other day into Port Canaveral to deliver another fresh batch of goodies.

Welcome to the Cape Pegasus!
Shifting from her ocean tug Crosby Admiral to inland tow boats to transit the Canaveral Locks to head to Kennedy Space Center with Artemis III core onboard.

Glad to be here!
Rocketship, ULA’s dedicated ro-ro cargo vessel for rocket components, returned this morning to Port Canaveral after another 8-day trip from Decatur, AL. Always a pleasure to see @CaptTSulli and crew arrive. Sure hope they get to see Monday evening’s Amazon Leo launch! 👋👍🚀⛴️
For the couple of people that have asked “what’s Southwest Pass like?”
Well, here ya go!
For the ones who don’t know. SW Pass is the main entrance for commercial vessels to arrive/depart the Lower Mississippi River, consisting of 21 miles of pretty much nothing. It’s anything but exciting!
Finally found the sun as we cruised southbound though New Orleans. The last city before heading to sea!

Have a little look see into how we take on fuel! A process we call “bunkering”.

Arriving into Baton Rouge this afternoon to go on anchor and get some fuel.

Another rainy/overcast day on the Mississippi River as we come down on Natchez, MS this morning.
Anyone know if it’s sunny and warm in Florida? Asking for a friend.

Coming down on Memphis this morning on this rainy day, searching for that sunshine!

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!
