Berger’s Law remains undefeated, but this was the easiest prediction ever. With that said, Blue Origin deserves a ton of credit for moving with incredible speed since the New Glenn explosion.

Starship is preparing for catch
Flight 15 is targeting to launch as early as Friday, November 13, pending regulatory approval → spacex.com/launches/starship…

✅ Neutron’s Stage 1 Forward Dome has been built and cured.
The dome has come off the AFP machine as planned and completed its heat and pressure processing cycle to cure the carbon composite material.
Next step: analysis and material tests to confirm quality and strength, before it moves to the next phase of Stage 1 tank assembly.

SpaceX will attempt to catch both the Super Heavy booster and Starship on the upcoming flight.
If both are successful, it will mark the first time that all parts of an orbital rocket return to Earth intact.
This is the critical breakthrough needed to make life multiplanetary.
More than a dozen flight tests and years of development, with countless hours worked by SpaceX engineers and technicians, all come down to this: the first orbital Starship launch carrying advanced Starlink satellites bound for space.
Watch “Go For Orbit” and experience the moments behind flying the most ambitious Starship mission yet

We announced New Glenn’s third stage today (GS3). The team recently completed testing of what we expect will be the largest composite LH2 tank ever flown in space. The tank was pressurized (at cryo temps) above 100% of the Maximum Expected Operating Pressure (MEOP) for flight and cycled 10 times (totaling over 2.5 hours) and over 10 minutes at 150% MEOP. GS3 stands 37 feet tall and is housed in an interstage, preserving the full fairing volume for customer payloads.

Now that the solar array has been successfully deployed, @Astro_Anil and Joshua Kutryk of @CSA_ASC will now clean up their work sites and head back to the airlock of the @Space_Station.

Very pleased to announce our newest X-plane, the X-70 Fractal, is joining the @NASAaero fleet to research and develop advanced flight control technology far beyond anything tested in a crewed aircraft. She will take flight under the @NASA banner within the next two years. The science fiction future we imagined as children is ours to build... and I promise, there will be more 🇺🇸
🚨 BREAKING: Introducing X-70 Fractal, @NASA's newest experimental aircraft!
This crewed, modular aircraft will allow the agency to rapidly swap out internal & external payloads to help keep pushing the frontiers of aviation technology! @nasaadmin
Details: go.nasa.gov/4kAeM0d

Get ready: Trans-Mars Injection incoming.
Our two spacecraft - Blue & Gold - will slingshot Earth and shoot for Mars in four days.
The @escapade_mars mission for @NASA & @ucbssl is preparing for TMI – a critical maneuver in this epic interplanetary mission.
Blue’s engine burn scheduled: Saturday 7th November
Gold’s engine burn scheduled: Monday 9th November

Yes, you can even vote from space! All three US crew members had the privilege of voting from space station. We filled out an electronic ballot and sent it securely to the election officials.

Mission success! Payload deployment confirmed from Electron's Kick Stage for the latest QPS-SAR satellite by @QPS_Inc - our tenth launch for their constellation with 100% mission success.

NASA's Dragonfly recently completed its first simulated test flight! 🚁
This "flight" was performed on a computer testbed at the Johns Hopkins APL, and incorporated many systems and maneuvers the rotorcraft will employ when it arrives at Titan.
