My video from the Hawthorne office of the final Falcon 1 launch (first ever success with deployment). This is one of those startup moments you never forget, and why you get into tech in the first place. 7/13/09.

SpaceX was founded in 2002. Everything after that first Starship has been since April 2023. Only three years in SpaceX's twenty-four year history. 🚀🚀🚀
With the SpaceX IPO tomorrow, here are every rocket launched by SpaceX since the first Falcon 1 in 2006, chronologically and to scale:

During a spacewalk early in his career, @astro_luca's helmet began to fill with water. As the water started to rise Luca couldn't breathe, communicate or even see, relying on his safety tether to return to the airlock - and safety. He handled the life-threatening crisis with so much calm and clarity that his heart rate stayed stable at a resting rate and colleagues at mission control couldn't even tell he was stressed. This is a story that is passed around the hallways at ESA as legend. It's a story that tells you more about an astronaut than any CV ever could. Luca is precise, composed and determined. He is exactly the right person for this role. A test pilot by training, with two missions to space, a commander of the International Space Station – he has seen spaceflight from every angle that matters. Yesterday I felt so much pride for Luca, as I caught a glimpse of his two daughters from the audience while they watched their father named part of the #ArtemisIII crew, in what must be one of the most emotive moments of his career. Caro Luca, siamo tutti orgogliosi di te. Buon volo! esa.int/Science_Exploration/…

That's not Reid Wiseman... Even worse, the story is from yesterday and it treats the crew return to Houston as something new (that was about a day after splashdown, April 11) youtube.com/live/DYY4nnfxKbU… @Cronistacom

Roscosmos has paused Friday’s structural repair efforts inside the Zvezda service module transfer tunnel, known as PrK, as more measurements and data is assessed. Given this development, NASA has instructed the crew members inside the Dragon spacecraft to end the safe haven procedures and return to planned operations aboard the International Space Station. We look forward to working with Roscosmos on a collaborative approach to address the leaks.

Wow, a lot more serious than I could've expected.
The Zvezda service module transfer tunnel, known as PrK, has suffered from cracks and leaks for some time, and has been mitigated by Roscosmos as much as possible to date. The cracks have always been a concern that NASA watches very closely. NASA and Roscosmos have been working to determine the root cause of the cracks, and Roscosmos manages the issue through operational mitigation measures and periodic partial-repair efforts.

Following new leaks, Roscosmos has elected to proceed with a more extensive repair operation on Friday, June 5. Out of an abundance of caution, NASA has directed all four of the agency's SpaceX Crew-12 members and NASA astronaut Chris Williams to assume an elevated safety posture in the Dragon spacecraft while the repair is underway.

We continue to work with our Russian counterparts, along with the rest of the international community that supports the space station, to arrive at a more permanent resolution.

"We are decoupling the lander from the launcher and the launchpad itself" 👀👀
Setbacks happen in this business. What matters is how we respond. NASA is deploying experts to help determine root cause, support recovery efforts, and keep critical lunar systems moving forward. We are putting extreme focus on the lander to ensure timelines for the Artemis III orbital test mission remain on schedule. At NASA, we remain laser focused on our mission to return astronauts to the lunar surface before 2028. We test, we learn, we improve and we will never stop until the objective is achieved.
