Stack Me❤️ The new Orbital Launch Mount is rolling to the launch site, where it is going to be lifted to 'complete' Pad B! This OLM is definitely an upgrade over the other: beefier, more room to work and access, and, of course; a flame trench! 🔥 📸: Jordan Guidry for WAI Media

Ship 35 just rolled back to the production site! So far, no word from SpaceX on what's next. It's likely we're going to see some manlifts up in the engine bay to check the damage. Fingers crossed!🤞

Here's our slow motion shot of the off-nominal flash during Ship 35's static fire! 😬 Ship 35 has since rolled back to the production site, awaiting its fate. What do you think happened? Is this the known issue of Block 2? Or something different entirely? 🤔 🎥: Jordan Guidry for WAI Media

🚨So, it’s official. SLS is to be phased out after Artemis III and the Gateway Station will likely never get to Space. Makes sense. whitehouse.gov/wp-content/u...

This change of plans isn't the first, and won't be the last. In order to build the production line of the largest rocket ever made, chances to optimize won't be pushed aside.. ..even if that means tearing down (parts of) newly constructed buildings! 🫡 🎥: Jordan Guidry for WAI Media

Yet another sign of Starbase rapidly evolving!🚀 Th glass structure of Starfactory is getting a makeover, to make way for Gigabay! The direct connection between Factory and Gigabay will make for a great production line, but it'll cut off some beloved views for us space fans!🥲 🎥: Jordan Guidry

RIP Booster 1086!🫡 After 'just' 5 succesful launches, this Falcon 9 booster fell over after a fire damaged one of the landing legs, just after landing! This is a reminder that space is hard, and reuse is even harder, even for the leader in spaceflight.🚀 📸Pictures by: John Winkopp
