37A tower stack is underway. The growth of the Cape skyline continues… exciting times!
The LR13000 crane is officially active lifting the first of nine modules for the first Starship tower at Launch Complex 37. Does this pad have an official name yet @TurkeyBeaver 📷 @NASASpaceflight nsf.live/spacecoast

Couldn’t agree more with Shana. Thinking about the entire team at Blue. We’ve been there before and there are very few things worse than losing a vehicle on the pad. Remember @blueorigin, it’s the darkest before the dawn and you will be measured not by this anomaly, but by how you respond. We are all rooting for you to get safely back to flight as soon as possible!
Very sad to see Blue Origin’s static fire anomaly tonight. I know that gut wrenching feeling. Keep your heads up, I know they have a team that will come back from this with hard fought lessons learned. Rockets are hard.

My first ever real job in Aerospace was an internship @NASAglenn after my sophomore year of @MichiganAero. Those 10 weeks provided critical hands on experience that eventually propelled me to a job @SpaceX post grad school. Plus I got to work at NASA!!! Go apply!!! You never know where it may take you… 🚀✨

Deadline approaching: You have until May 22 to apply for our fall internships. 🚨 We provide short‑term, hands‑on opportunities for students to work on essential NASA projects – including ones that help future Artemis missions. go.nasa.gov/4tHNyWt
