Nadir views of earthly auroras through a fisheye lens, distorting the planet into a green sphere. The Soyuz that brought my MS-26 crew and I is in the foreground. Fisheyes are less popular camera lenses to use in orbit but can make some way cool photos!

We have completed breakover operations for the Neutron Stage 2 tank assembly, rotating the stage horizontal – a critical step in the handling of large rocket sections for integration and assembly. Here’s a last look at Stage 2 on the Neutron Factory floor before it’s wrapped up (literally) for barge shipment to LC-3 on Wallops Island where its fluid systems will be tested and its Archimedes vacuum engine installed.

I saw my first launch from @RocketRanchTX Outpost for Flight 14 and I was blown away! I wish I had started going there earlier because the view is incredible and it's going to be the best place to view the catch from! I can't wait for Flight 15!

3.7 miles: the distance from the Outpost to the launch mount. Rocket Ranch guests watch launches from the Outpost, reached by shuttle. Look for the DON'T PANIC container. Tag who you're bringing to Flight 15. #Starship #SpaceX #Starbase #BocaChica #LaunchViewing

During the SpaceX earnings call today, Elon Musk says the company will attempt to recover both the booster and ship on Flight 15. Targeting next month. Believes success "is more likely than not."

🔥 Just another day at Stennis. Stage 2 successfully completed its first integrated hotfire! The A2 test stand was originally built in the 60s to support Saturn V Upper Stage testing (S-II). It was later reconfigured to be a single engine test stand for Shuttle Main Engine testing and development. The last Saturn V Stage test occurred October 30, 1970 on A2. It has been 55 years, 11 months, and 17 days since A2 supported stage testing capability. As of this morning, it is now 0 days.

Team Blue is building the infrastructure and hardware to meet the mission ahead of us. Take a look at our upper stage manufacturing facility at Rocket Park - it will produce up to 150 upper stages a year to support high launch cadence. This is one piece of a connected system designed to run at rate: manufacturing, integration, launch, recovery, refurbishment, and back to flight. Every step optimized for cadence.
