I like sports and space. I don’t like politics but I pay attention. Take me back to the Gorge. The Dude abides.

More deluges! This time it was a reverse of yesterday. The tower at LC-39a in Florida got the double test, Starbase just got one, but it was pretty in the evening light :)

It may seem rather quiet at Starbase tonight, but looks can be deceiving! Booster 22 is getting ready in MB1 and the BQD’s are getting some attention on Pad 2. #wenhop#

If you're keeping score at home, yesterday's Prod > Pad delay was cancelled. That delay was thought to be for B22, then started to look like it was for S43. But a ship CRYO stand is now in the ring yard. So is S43 going to Massey's?

This timelapse of today's chopsticks catch testing reveals something interesting about how they work. Before each catch simulation, you can see the sticks seem to reset and prepare to move. And you can see it get refined each time.

Hi there tower crew!
Dunno what the occasion is but a whole bunch of workers just did the wave for us on top of the Pad 2 launch tower.

The Ship horizontal aft frame appears to be getting attached to Ship 40. Will be interesting to see what they do with her now that she's home.

The @NASASpaceflight field team is the best! Gage, Jerry, Ceaser, and Dan have worked all day and are still out there tonight to give us this amazing closeup view of Ship 40's journey home. Coverage is still going at

Ship 40 is slowly making its way along Highway 4 now, it should be reaching Massey's soon. @NASASpaceflight will be live the whole way to Starbase!
Dear both @Microsoft @Office and @Adobe @creativecloud, if I have automatic updates turned off, they should stay off. They should not magically change themselves to being turned on when I update your central dashboards or autoupdaters.
Thank you for coming to my TED Talk.

Starship Update with Ryan Caton (@dpoddolphinpro)
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.

Falcon Heavy is vertical at LC-39A at Kennedy Space Center in advance of its NROL-97 mission on Thursday.
Thursday could be an epic day that includes Crew-13 launch and docking, and a Transporter mission from Vandenberg. @NASASpaceflight details here:

Slow motion views of Flight 14 liftoff from the pad and tower at Starbase
The occasional clouds allowed the shockwaves of Booster 21 to be visible at times throughout reentry. Incredible to think of the scale and just how fast the booster is moving!

Sometimes a post deserves both a regular RT and a quote. This is one of those posts, because Max done good.
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.
