Good times. Hard to believe it’s been 7 years.
Seven years ago today, the Starship program enjoyed its first lift-off, a 20-meter hop of Hopper, filmed by Mary (@BocaChicaGal).
You can see Hopper watching on during Flight 13 in the SpaceX vid, like a proud grandparent.
A great recap of the last 5 years of the 24 hr Live Stream - ‘Star Base alive’. What an epic 5 years it’s been 🙌
Join us LIVE NOW on @NASASpaceflight Starbase Live stream for a special anniversary Raptorside Chat. We’ll discuss all the latest developments at Starbase and beyond, and try to answer any questions you may have! nsf.live/starbase
US space industry is not defined by its hardships, but by the resilience of those who rise from them.
Tonight’s mishap at LC-36 is a massive blow, no question. And coming just one day after announcements of Blue’s contribution to future Moon base plans with Artemis is salt in the wound…
But for all we know, this may serve as a catalyst for something perhaps even larger, something grander, and more valuable to future Artemis plans. Will they go straight to New Glenn 9x4? Additional LSP collaboration? I don’t know… but some of humanity’s greatest achievements were born from its worst setbacks.
I’d rather be optimistic and wrong than pessimistic and right here. But thank God everyone involved in the mission is accounted for and no one was hurt.
All of this being said…the clock will keep ticking, and the mission will carry on.
Looking forward to seeing how this progresses.
You are 100% correct Ryan. This is the sort of leadership that NASA needs and it’s great to see Jared excel in the role he was born to do.

We go where we need to be, and today that was @NASAKennedy.
Some of my senior engineers and I spent time at @blueorigin with @JeffBezos and @davill, speaking with the workforce and seeing the damage at LC-36 firsthand. I appreciated the opportunity to hear directly from those working through the aftermath and better understand the challenges ahead.
There is a lot of work to do, but this is exactly why people choose careers in aerospace, whether at NASA, Blue Origin, or across the industry. The talent in this field thrives under pressure and performs at its best when solving the toughest problems.
We have been saying for months at NASA that we are not going to sit on our hands and wait for the capabilities necessary to achieve the nation’s most pressing objectives. We are going to take an active role alongside our partners, just as we did in the 1960s, to overcome setbacks, remove obstacles, and deliver the intended outcomes.
@NASA is committed to helping the Blue team recover, continue to advance their lunar lander and get New Glenn back to launching as soon as safely possible.
America’s greatest achievements in space were never the result of avoiding setbacks. They came from overcoming them. We have done it before, and we will do it again🇺🇸

You, Jeff, and Dave stepping up front and center less than 24 hours after the incident will have helped the workforce a lot!

On this day 41 years ago, 54 Bradford City supporters and two Lincoln City supporters went to a football match and never returned home.
We will never forget those who sadly lost their lives, and as always, our thoughts are with their families and the hundreds still affected by the disaster to this day.
Always in our hearts. 🎗️
