Ship 40 has been lifted back to the vertical position inside of Megabay 2!
What do yal think will be its fate after deep inspection is completed?

“We had to find a way and we did. Looking back, we were the luckiest people in the world; there was no choice but to be pioneers.” —Margaret Hamilton
Rest in peace, Margaret. Your trailblazing work leading the development of the on-board flight software for the Apollo spacecraft will forever be remembered. 🫡

I like this article from @SciGuySpace , although it's not very promising for the future of LEO human spaceflight 🤔🚀
Answering some of the big questions about the future of a low-Earth economy that NASA has spent decades trying to establish. Is it all going poof?

Neue SpaceX/Starship Doku.
Der Hammer, diese Bilder 👍. Jede neue Doku übertrifft die vorherige. Viele Details zur Ship 40 Landung/Bergung und dem Hitzeschild 💪🚀
A fully and rapidly reusable rocket will fundamentally change how humanity accesses outer space. “The Holy Grail of Rocketry” continues the ongoing Starship series with a look back at the scrappy days of SpaceX engineers proving reuse was possible and takes you onboard a high-seas race to recover a floating Starship

Das ist schon ziemlich cool 😎🚀
You can watch every episode and catch up on past Starship flight tests at → spacex.com/content
... Und hier haben wir nun (endlich) die offiziellen Infos zu Starship Flug #14 🚀💪
Starship is preparing to go to orbit. Flight 14 is targeting to launch as early as Tuesday, September 22, pending regulatory approval → spacex.com/launches/starship…
Great documentation about @SpaceX 's future Starbase Louisiana Space Port, by @TheSpaceRaceYT . Worth watching 👍🚀

We made history. On just our second flight, we became the first commercial space company from Europe to deliver satellites into orbit. Mission 'Onward and Upward' successfully lifted off and deployed payloads into orbit. A new chapter for European spaceflight. More: isaraerospace.com/press/hist…
Offensichtlich kann Deutschland auch (private) Raketen 🚀 Gratulation an @isaraerospace 🎉👍
Ship 40 rescue so far and possible future options, from a mariner's perspective:

Spotted: Falcon 9 impact site
NASA’s Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter (LRO) has captured images of a new crater on the Moon. The crater formed on Aug. 5, 2026, when a SpaceX Falcon 9 upper stage impacted the lunar surface. go.nasa.gov/4zw1I1g

Meine erste totale Sonnenfinsternis - definitiv ein umwerfender Moment.
Es gibt wenige Naturereignisse, die so bewegend sind wie eine totale Sonnenfinsternis - weil man dabei dem Universum bei der Arbeit zuschauen kann, und zwar in einem Zeitraum von Sekunden statt Jahrmillionen.
Was mich am meisten fasziniert hat, war der sekundenschnelle Übergang zwischen partieller Verdeckung und Totalität: Auf einmal konnte man deutlich sehen, wie der Kernschatten über den Horizont wandert. Und das gleißende Licht des ersten Sonnenstrahls nach der Verdunkelung war so erhellend wie ein Raketenstart bei Nacht.
Umso schöner, diesen faszinierenden Moment mit zwei AstrophysikerInnen und vielen interessierten ZuschauerInnen zu teilen! Aufzeichnung der Gänshehautmomente und des nachfolgenden Chats mit Harald Lesch und Lisa Kaltenegger unter

Partielle Sonnenfinsternis, 12.8.26 kurz vor Sonnenuntergang, aufgenommen in der Nähe von Frankfurt/Main mit meinem @dwarf_lab33747 Dwarf 3 Smart-Teleskop ☀️🌑🔭

The @SpaceX recovery team is 1/1. While the mariners and engineers offshore literally ride the wave, a hard charging group of leaders, operators, meteorologists, engineers and supply chain work 24/7 to feed them the data and support they need to continue the mission. Deadliest catch meets Apollo 13 content coming soon 🚀 🎣
The team, the team, the team!!!!

NASA have confirmed the Swift rescue mission launched this morning! That's the first of many tasks that need to be completed to make this ambitious mission a success.
