Earlier today, brand new Falcon 9 booster B1107 departed SpaceX McGregor for its new home, either in California or Florida. Hoping to see it's maiden launch soon! Special thanks to our McGregor Live Cam Ops! @NASASpaceflight |

With the launch of NASA and SpaceX’s Crew-13 mission to the ISS being moved up to NET Sept. 12, NSF’s Sawyer Rosenstein (@thenasaman) sat down with Crew-13 pilot Luke Delaney. Delaney discusses accelerated training, childhood inspirations, and more ⬇️

According to Elon Musk, in a year from now, Starship will be launching once per day. This will be a 63x increase in v3 cadence compared to the turnaround from Flight 12 to Flight 13. 📷 @SpaceX

And touchdown, with B1063 completing 34 flights. No fanfare, just totally normal and "routine". Now apply this to Starship in the 2030s, with both stages (Booster and Ship) returning and reflying...

🔓 Clean room access unlocked. From @blueorigin and @Firefly_Space to @Int_Machines and @voyagertech_, here’s an update on the commercial spacecraft that will deliver @NASA science and technology to the Moon, paving the way for humanity's first Moon Base.

SPACEX: According to local reports, the final stages of a deal are in place for SpaceX to build the new spaceport on Pecan Island in Vermilion Parish, Louisiana, and Governor Jeff Landry is expected to make an announcement this month. SpaceX would gain control of the land through a coastal lawsuit settlement in which ExxonMobil turns over property it has owned since the 1950s. Included in the deal are coastal restoration provisions. The sparsely populated site offers Gulf and Intracoastal Waterway access for barges, a midpoint location between Starbase and the Florida Space Coast, and natural gas supplies. Only a fraction of the over 130k acers would be used for actual launch infrastructure, with the rest as a buffer. If this is true, the project will undoubtedly create thousands of jobs. Louisiana has passed liability protections for aerospace operations, and the FAA recently proposed waiving more than a dozen environmental laws for launch licenses. The location will support orbital launches and is the perfect spot for SpaceX to launch Starmind AI Datacenters to sun-synch orbit.
