Maximum cuteness with little Falcon!

Happy Falcon 9 day! Falcon 9 launched for the first time on 6/4/2010. Would not have predicted where we are 14 epic years and more than 300 flights later.

A Falcon 9 rocket exploded on a launch pad as part of a static fire test in Florida ten years ago. What can Blue Origin learn from this? arstechnica.com/space/2026/0…

Heartbreaking to see the on-pad anomaly for Blue Origin just now. That is an extremely painful failure to go through. I am hopeful no one is hurt as well. My thoughts with all the teams dealing with this one tonight. Ad astra per aspera!

Yessss lets gooooooooo

The planet can spell your name – literally. 🔤🌍 This Earth Day, see your name written in landscapes captured by Landsat: go.nasa.gov/4ak4Cdu

Incredible message - perhaps someday we will all understand that we are crew members of the same spaceship. 🌎🌍🌏

And splashdown! America is back in the business of sending astronauts to the Moon and bringing them home safely. Reid, Victor, Christina, and Jeremy did an outstanding job. These talented astronauts inspired the world and represented their space agencies and nations as humanity’s ambassadors to the stars. This was a test mission, the first crewed flight of SLS and Orion, pushing farther into the unforgiving environment of space than ever before, and it carried real risk. They accepted that risk for all we stood to learn and for the exciting missions that follow, as we return to the lunar surface, build a Moon base, and prepare for what comes next. And they were not alone. The entire NASA workforce, our commercial and international partners, and the hopes and dreams of people all over the world were with them. The astronauts know it, and you should too. This mission would not have been possible without you. Congratulations. Artemis II, mission accomplished.

Earthset. The Artemis II crew captured this view of an Earthset on April 6, 2026, as they flew around the Moon. The image is reminiscent of the iconic Earthrise image taken by astronaut Bill Anders 58 years earlier as the Apollo 8 crew flew around the Moon.

We have a standing meeting about this word twice a week every two weeks.

🖖 Happy First Contact Day! April 5, 2063 is the day in Star Trek lore when humans first achieve warp speed and make contact with the Vulcans. Check out the movie Star Trek: First Contact if you haven’t seen it! This movie inspired me to become an aerospace engineer.

2026 is the year of the giants! 🚀🚀🚀

TIME’s new cover: SpaceX is racing to build its most powerful rockets yet with the goal of returning humans to the moon. Gwynne Shotwell is leading the charge alongside Elon Musk. Read it here: time.com/article/2026/03/26/…

10 years ago today: The first successful landing of Falcon 9. This mission packed a return to flight, a new version of the rocket with densified prop, and a major recovery milestone all-in-one. I know it's no rocket catch, but F9-21 Orbcomm-2 mission was peak SpaceX energy! 🚀🎯

A decade ago SpaceX emerged from the most turbulent and challenging period in its history: surviving a major loss and doubling down with a new rocket, super-cold propellant, and a historic landing. This is that story: arstechnica.com/space/2025/1…

Happy 15th birthday to Dragon, the workhorse of human spaceflight. She's a good ship. To everyone that was there that day, hope you have a drink (or share a wheel of cheese) to celebrate.
