This image was a total experiment.
30-second exposure from a remote camera with a 10-stop ND filter over the lens, sound activated from about a mile away from Pad 2.
Absolutely thrilled with how it came out.

Starship transiting the Sun this morning during Flight 14 — prior to this morning's mission, this has never been captured before with the world's largest and most powerful rocket.
I’ve ached over this shot for years, mainly for two reasons: what does methane exhaust look like silhouetted against the Sun, and how violent are the acoustic energy waves from 33 Raptor engines on the Super Heavy booster?
Well...now we have an answer.

As of 8:26pm CT, SpaceX’s countdown clock outside mission control in Starbase is holding at T-12:00:00.
Window opens less than 12 hours from now at 7:15a CT…curious where this leads.

Delighted to be in Boise, Idaho this weekend with @Spacepointorg for iLife 2026!
It’s been a humbling experience helping to put this gallery together — not just as a chance to reflect, but in the continued hope that it might spark something in the next generation of spaceflight enthusiasts, engineers, scientists, and everyone in between.
And yes — I’ll be back in Starbase just in time for Flight 14 🤙🏻

The full stack has returned to Starbase!
Ship 41 was placed atop Booster 21 in the early-morning darkness. The Flight 14 duo is expected to conduct prelaunch testing in the coming days.

The stage is set at LC-39A for @SpaceX 's Falcon Heavy rocket and the launch of @NASA 's Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope!
This is NASA’s next great step beyond Hubble and James Webb: Hubble-like sharpness in the infrared, but wide enough to chart cosmic structure, take a census of exoplanets, and tightly constrain dark energy and dark matter’s imprint on the cosmos.
T-0 is set for 7:25am EDT, headed to Lagrange Point 2 (L2). Game on, folks!

'Twas a great day to fly 👀
The Space Coast monolith (Gigabay) is nearing completion and looking ace.
We had eyes on lots of good stuff this morning and we'll be covering all of it on next week's Space Coast Update!

Starbase, LA making both the Cape and Starbase, TX look like child's play. This is insane.
well good morning to you too, Falcon 9
feel like the luckiest man on Earth sometimes
There’s something peaceful about watching a wicked storm approach KSC.
@NASAKennedy hosted members of the media this afternoon for a special announcement from @NASAAdmin, KSC leadership, and members of the United States Congress: the Max Power Aerospace Expo.
Taking place November 7–8 at the Shuttle Landing Facility, Max Power aims to showcase the best and brightest of NASA’s aircraft, spacecraft, personnel, and technologies shaping humanity’s future as the Artemis program progresses toward a permanent presence on the Moon.
There will also be special appearances from @AFThunderbirds and various DOW aircraft.
This event will be open to the general public. Very much looking forward to this.

Today’s festivities continue!
@blueorigin has raised New Glenn’s TE vertical for the first time with stage 1 and 2 simulator hardware at LC-36.
Massive thanks to @StarFleetTours for bringing us out this afternoon!
