Special delivery to the #SpaceX Starbase/Boca Chica production site: a Raptor Vacuum engine! 🦖🔥 @NASASpaceflight Three of these engines will be used to power the #Starship vehicle through space during orbital flights. Is this an engine for Ship 20 @elonmusk?

This absolutely should not stand. - Overall 20% cut - No Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope - No Mars Sample Return - No DAVINCI - No Goddard Space Flight Center If this somehow passes I am legit throwing hands.

While doing flyovers of #SpaceX’s McGregor testing facility, NSF’s Gary Blair caught 2 #Raptor engines on the test stand - one sea-level engine, one optimized for vacuum! The size difference is astounding. 😮 Details in @NASASpaceflight’s newest article: nasaspaceflight.com/2021/04/starsh…

Resilience welcomed her sibling Endeavor to the @Space_Station. Perfect docking and great to have 11 crew members on board. Welcome, Crew 2!
