Still blown away from todays launch. Heres a view of IFT5 and booster catch from @RocketRanchTX outpost. NASA's WB57 circling at 1:20 and awesome pressure wave interaction with smoke from the launch starting at 1:35. First of many more to come. (sry for the focusing issues)

I'm in there like swimwear. 😁🤙

That just happened. No longer science fiction, we have moved into science fact.

@ everyone. Pre-launch Friday night fire in the dunes. I'm not as active in the community as I once was so please spread the news.

Well National Rental.. You did say it's unlimited milage..😁

Last night Memphis.. Tonight Nashville... Where to next???

Ooooooohh. My kinda place...

Magic hour memories

"Don’t be too proud of this technological terror you’ve constructed. The ability to destroy a planet is insignificant next to the power of the Force." You brought the power of the Force to us all Lord Vader. RIP #JamesEarlJones

This team is on a roll. We’re not only launching and landing on the Moon, we’re gearing up for our first responsive on-orbit mission with Elytra. The vehicle is now fully assembled and starting environmental testing before lifting off on an upcoming Alpha flight. Stay tuned for more updates! fireflyspace.com/missions/el…

This is probably the best CSI Starbase episode yet! So much information and months of effort have gone into this. Don't miss this episode!

We are humbled to have our lab's work featured this week on the cover of @Nature (below), with many, many people to thank. First, the stellar crew of @inspiration4x, @rookisaacman, @ArceneauxHayley, @ChrisSembroski, @DrSianProctor, who donated time, blood, fluids, and sweat for the mission. These data were the foundation of the Space Omics and Medical Atlas (SOMA), expanding upon the findings from @StationCDRKelly & @CaptMarkKelly in the NASA Twins Study and enabling an unprecedented look the human body (and its microbes) in space. Second, thanks to many science teams , especially co-leaders for the SOMA effort @AfshinBeheshti, @EliahOverbey, @cemmeydan, Chris Jones, @mathiasbasner, @KeithSiew, Stephen Walsh, @joseph_borg_ , & Susan Bailey, the I4 mission science leads Frederic Zenhausern, Mark Shelhamer, Eric Bershad, @aesargsyan, @7irz, @DoritPhD, @EUrquietaMD, Ashot Sargsyan, Doug Ebert, Mathias Basner, and leadership from @IwijnDeVlaminck, @Astro_Kate7, @trialx, @LabMelnick, @nebula_rd, @FathiKarouia, @giacomello_lab, Scott Smith, Sara Zwart, @SpaceLuisZea, and many more. Third, the amazing med-ops and mission teams at @spaceX and @NASA, especially @jmat_, @astro_anil (now at NASA), Sean Mullane, Seth Stravers Tigchelaar, Steven Levitte, & Marissa Rosenberg, plus all the support teams in the planning and logistics stages before, during, and after the missions. Fourth, the labs at @WeillCornell who worked for several years on the papers and data portals, especially @EliahOverbey, @KJangkeun @BradenTierney @krista_ryon @JIWOONPARK_ @mjdmackay @asierra93, @ChrisRChin, & Dan Butler, Sebastian Garcia Medina, Namita Damle, Deena Najjar, Kirill Grigorev, Karolina Sienkiewicz, Laura Patras, Remi Klotz, Veronica Ortiz, Annalise Schweickart, Theodore M. Nelson, Gabriel Deards, Jonathan Foox, Craig Westover, Chandrima Bhattacharya, Serena Lucotti, Jacqueline Proszynski, Marissa Burke, Ashley S. Kleinman, Daniel J. Butler, Conor Loy, Omary Mzava, and Jeremy Hirschberg, which also led the creation of the Cornell Aerospace Medicine Biobank (CAMBank). Fifth, the superb @NASAGeneLab teams, @CostesSylvain, @RyanTScott, Sam Gebre, Egle Cekanaviciute, Lauren Sanders, and others for enabling controlled and long-term data access, ensuring these data as a resource for the field for the decades of spaceflight ahead. Finally, thanks to the vision of @elonmusk and Jared Issacman to enable such ambitious studies, including the upcoming @PolarisProgram missions with Jared, @KiddPoteet, @annawmenon, @Gillis_SarahE. Also, we have the upcoming @framonauts mission led by @satofishi which will greatly expand upon this work and launch humanity into The Second Space Age.

Happy Birthday to Axiom Space! We've spent eight years pushing the boundaries of science & tech, orchestrating four private astronaut missions, developing the next-gen spacesuit, and constructing the world's first commercial space station. We’re excited for the future as we continue #BuildingForBeyond!

Our test team had quite the hot fire summer! Just on Lightning (Alpha's stage 2 engine), we've made incredible progress during the qualification campaign... ▪ 26 days of testing with a total run time of over 42 minutes ▪ 48 total hot fires, 4 surpassing 200 seconds; and ▪ Over 1 million revolutions on the turbopump!

Sometimes it feels like the world is talking to me..

Better than sitting in front of the boob tube, and I'm a notorious couch potato......

We’ve been waiting for this one for a while! @PolarisProgram and @Spacex- wishing you complete mission success and thank you for all the fun and excitement you generate through these commercial missions! Much love to folks @StJude too. Let’s go!! 🫶🚀
