Starship S34 had a bit of a active day with the restack on top of B15 having alignment issues that resulted in a piece of debris coming off the engine bay section, and S34 coming back down for inspections. @nasaspaceflight.com Starbase Live nsf.live/starbase

Something appeared to fall off Ship 34 during stacking. SpaceX aborted the stacking and are now in a holding pattern. Stay tuned. nsf.live/starbase

The first of two cargo ships expected at Port Canaveral this weekend has arrived, carrying a single cryogenic tank. The second ship, arriving Sunday, is also set to visit Port of Brownsville next week (h/t CowboyDanPaasch), which is a bit of a clue as to who ordered these... nsf.live/spacecoast

A look at the barge Oceanus, which Rocket Lab has acquired for conversion into a landing platform for the Neutron rocket. Built in 2010 and 400ft long x 105ft wide, the barge is slightly longer than Blue Origin's Jacklyn, both outclassing SpaceX's trio of 300ft long droneships.

I'm "retiring" as of today and won't be consistently publishing any spaceflight infographics in the near future. It was a very interesting chapter of my life but it's time to move on and start a new chapter with new things to deal with and to get interested in Yet I may publish something sometime

What's better than 1 rocket launch? 2! What's better than 1 booster in a picture? 2! What's better than 1 streak shot? 2! First, the shuttle walkway leads the way to the successful launch of IM-2 from LC-39A Second, Starlink 12-13 launches from SLC-40 seen from the port

SpaceX review of Flight 7 "The most probable root cause for the loss of ship was identified as a harmonic response several times stronger in flight than had been seen during testing, which led to increased stress on hardware in the propulsion system." spacex.com/updates/

I was the Commander of the @ISS when Andy, @Astro_Andreas flew his first space mission. He is one of the most competent, trustworthy, and honest people I’ve ever met. This rhetoric is beyond the pale but, sadly, not surprising. He does not deserve this kind of disrespect.
