- The first physical Starship payload is a banana ๐คฃ๐คฃ
- The most unique job in the world. Climb on this floating capsule that just came back from Space, in the middle of the ocean - in the dark of night - to prepare rigging.
- Is that really what I think it is... on Blue Origin's recovery ship? ๐
- SpaceX is hiring for Offshore Operations Engineers in Brownsville. From the post: "Work as part of a team of engineers and technicians to design and build an operational offshore rocket launch facility" With thanks to @CowboyDanPaasch for the scoop. boards.greenhouse.io/spacex/jobs/47โฆ
- ๐ THEY ๐ CAUGHT ๐ THE ๐ FAIRING ๐ 1.5 years, 3 sets of arms, 4 nets, countless drop-tests and trials, 2 oceans, 1 rename, 5 failed attempts. SpaceX finally nailed it. Wow. Just... wow.
- Admit it... you thought it was about to crash into the tower.
- I believe I have identified a potential solution to problems faced by both SpaceX and Blue Origin today.
- The vessel names on SpaceX's two Dragon recovery ships have been painted over. I checked USCG databases and can confirm that GO Searcher and GO Navigator are being renamed to Megan and Shannon respectively, in honor of SpaceX's first two female Astronauts. @NASASpaceflight
- SpaceX has released a photo of the CRS-22 Dragon spacecraft, following a successful splashdown in the Gulf of Mexico! spacex.com/updates/crs-22โฆ
