Starbase Update, hosted by Jack Beyer The launch mount for Pad B was rolled out, lifted, and installed; we have Raptor 3 pictures to talk about; and the first V3 booster test tank, and Ship 35 both rolled to Masseys for testing. Premiering YouTube at 6:00pm CDT / 23:00 UTC: youtu.be/MbTjzhop1DE

Gently used and well worn #237 Mandatory, of course

Booster 1083 is on the move from Port Canaveral to be readied for reflight.

🚀🚀

The water-cooled flame diverters for Pad B finally rolled to the launch site; Booster 14-2 returned to the production site following its testing; and Ship 35 showed signs that its nearly ready for its own engine testing!

Booster 1067 doing what it has done 26 times before. Upon landing, it has completed a 27th launch and landing, setting a new re-use record. @nasaspaceflight.com stream complete with a VAB squeal: youtube.com/live/8uk4xzC...

#233 is a two for one

Great reporting by @sciguyspace.bsky.social At the time, I was told that Starliner was 0-fault tolerant during the docking approach. About 2 weeks ago I learned from Suni that they actually lost control in 1 axis. The whole story is both fascinating and damn scary. arstechnica.com/space/2025/0...

"Let's get in good trouble!" -Senator Cory Booker Thank you for this moment in history.

25% through the year lets take a look at how McGregor testing is going for Falcon 9's goal of 170 launches! Starting with MVac, the data is looking great. This is their surplus compared to 170 tests per year. Blue is 2025, red is 2024 @nasaspaceflight.com nsf.live/mcgregor

I'm putting together a team

Welcome home to my former Navy and astronaut colleagues—Butch and Suni! You’ve shown the world what true professionalism, dedication, and endurance look like. Glad to see your safe return. What you’ve accomplished isn’t just about a successful mission— (1/2)

Here’s an interesting infographic on our ICPS stage (and a big proud smile from Giavanna, one of our very talented Propulsion Test Engineers) www.linkedin.com/in/giavanna-...

Welcome back Suni and Butch! All of Crew-9 has returned from their mission with dolphins as an unexpected welcome party.

Welcome home Crew-9! A toasty marshmallow Dragon in the vast Gulf is always a welcome thing to see.

Astronauts Butch Wilmore and Suni Williams are headed back to Earth today. The recent crew launch was NOT a “rescue mission”, the capsule they’re coming home in has been docked to the space station since *September*!
