I think it’s time for my 2025 Photo Recap! This will consist of 20 of my favorite Aerospace photos ive taken this year. 1. The maiden launch of New Glenn from Jetty Park 2. Worldview Legion 5&6 from Daytona Beach 3. Air Force One arriving in Daytona 4. F-35 at Sun ‘n Fun (1/6)🧵

True to its name, Never Tell Me The Odds has safely returned to Rocket Park.

THIRTY FIVE FLIGHTS 🚀 Falcon 9 booster B1067 made its 35th flight to space and back during today’s Starlink launch this morning, becoming the first booster to do so. 📸 @LaunchHeavenX

SHE’S ALIVE!! New Glenn booster “Never Tell Me the Odds” seen rolling back to Blue Origin’s Rocket Park campus while the team restores LC-36 after the explosive mishap ~a week ago. Full steam ahead! Hope to see her flying again soon. 📸 @LaunchHeavenX

Never tell Blue Origin the odds. For having experienced an extremely violent explosion that took place just a few hundred feet away, New Glenn booster "Never Tell Me The Odds" looks to be in pretty good shape! Blue Origin rolled the booster back to their Rocket Park facility along with the GS2s to free up space at LC-36 as they clean up and rebuild the pad to hopefully support a launch as soon as this year. 📸 - @LaunchHeavenX

After seeing her roll back to Rocket Park this afternoon, "Never Tell Me The Odds" appears to be in decent shape - and to reiterate what Chris said below, nothing obvious from the explosion at LC-36. What's most interesting is the booster appearing in a sort of mid-refurbishment state with tape markings in tandem with the wear & tear on the thermal protection system and other hardware. Don't normally see this! nsf.live/spacecoast

Might be seeing a launch sooner than I thought!🤞

Some LC-36 updates. Now that we’ve had access to the pad and integration facility we can share a bit of good news. The propellant farm, oxygen, liquid hydrogen and LNG tanks are all in good shape. This is good luck because these are very long lead items. The water tower is also good. The big support tower is damaged, but it can be repaired in place rather than torn down and replaced. The booster “Never Tell Me The Odds” and the three GS-2s that were onsite in the integration facility also look good. I’ve seen some speculation that we might move directly to the 9x4 configuration, but we won’t do that. Rate manufacturing of 7x2 is going well, and we’re going to continue that at pace as planned and store the stages for use. In addition, we had already been working for some time on eliminating our transporter-erector in favor of an alternative vertical conop, and we’ll now go directly to that; so we don’t need a new transporter-erector. We will fly again before the end of this year. Gradatim Ferociter.

May 2026 - I only ended up photographing four launches this month, and it ended with quite the bang. Hoping for a more active, and nominal, rest of the year!

Please don’t crop out watermarks. This is my photo.

Another shot showing the power of Atlas. Unfortunately it looks like the focus got bumped so it is slightly out of focus, but still does a good job of conveying the power I feel.

This is what raw, unbridled power looks like. For the penultimate time, Atlas V 551 "Bruiser" took to the skies from SLC-41 earlier this evening carrying another batch of @Amazonleo satellites to Low Earth Orbit. 📸 - @LaunchHeavenX

Steal other people's work much? That's what you did here. Give credit to where it is due @JerryPikePhoto and @NASASpaceflight. Those folks bust their asses to cover space and then shady orgs steal their content, and that's not cool. At all.

The Ground Support Equipment (GSE) looks to be partially scorched at the top. It's hard to say for certain the actual damage as there are a lot of small parts that could be easily damaged, but externally most of the tanks look okay except for the five close to the pad.

It was challenging to get a clear view of the Horizontal Integration Facility, but from what was seen it appears that the side facing away from the vehicle fared okay, though I am certain the other side looks quite different. The New Glenn pathfinder that is staged just outside the HIF also appears to have sustained some damage. The nearby tents partially melted and looks to have sustained major damage.
