One year ago today - the second launch of Blue Origin’s New Glenn. The first stage booster, Never Tell Me The Odds, became the first NG booster to land, making Blue Origin the second company to land an orbital class booster.
How has it already been a year? Time moves too fast.

Just toured Starfactory. Sadly a lot of what I saw was ITAR so I can’t share photos, but it’s clear they are set up to mass-manufacture starships. They’re truly building the future here.
Thank you @SpaceX for an unforgettable experience.

The next-generation spacesuit is coming.
NASA and @Axiom_Space have completed the critical design review (CDR) for the Axiom Extravehicular Mobility Unit spacesuit—the first CDR on a NASA EVA spacesuit in over 40 years.

The suit is suspended from an overhead harness system inside a training facility to mimic reduced lunar gravity. The astronaut holds geological sampling tools while collecting a rock sample.

"With the closure of CDR, we've delivered the large body of work that provides Axiom Space confidence going into production," said Tammy Radford, Axiom Space Extravehicular Activity Services (xEVAS) Program Manager. "This is the kind of milestone that only comes together when everyone brings their best work to the table, and I couldn't be prouder of this team." #AxEMU Axiom Space Completes NASA’s Critical Design Review for Next-Generation Spacesuit axiomspace.com/release/axiom…

CH4 subcoolers have begun venting, signaling that liquid methane is now being chilled to flight temperatures ahead of today's launch.

Well this is interesting. AST said Blacklift would launch from the same pad as Antares (LP-0A), but a Virginia Spaceport Authority spokesperson told SpaceNews that the “early, preliminary conversations” did not include LP-0A. They do include renovating LP-0B (Minotaur pad).
