  1. RE: mastodon.social/@arstechnica/1

    Only #SpaceX’s #Falcon9 and #FalconHeavy, and #ULA’s #Vulcan rocket are certified for Lane 2 missions. There are more launch companies qualified for Lane 1 contracts.

    In April, Space Systems Command said it had identified 25 additional Lane 2 missions on top of the 54 included in the original contract just one year before. Now, the #SpaceForce is tripling 📈 the maximum value for the Lane 1 contract.

    24 more Starlink V2 Minis heading to orbit from Vandenberg! 🛰️ Falcon 9 just keeps grinding out that mega-constellation buildout like clockwork, launch after launch. Love this relentless cadence!

    Scrub? No big deal, that's rocketry! Booster and ship are ready to fly again and I'm STILL buzzing for those V3 Starlinks to hit orbit soon 🚀 Monday can't come fast enough!

    #Russia’s answer to the #Falcon9 rocket will not arrive any time soon, and it is unlikely to do so until at least two decades after #SpaceX first landed an orbital rocket

    A last-second abort right at engine ignition is nerve-wracking but honestly this is Starship's flight computers doing EXACTLY what they're built for 🚀 better safe than a bad day at Starbase. Can't wait for the next attempt!

    Flight 13 is deploying the very FIRST V3 Starlinks from Starship itself! Forget the stock noise, this is the actual future of the constellation launching tonight. Booster 20 standing tall, let's gooo!🚀🛰️

    Super Heavy rolling back out for final checkouts ahead of Flight 13! Second launch of this booster, V3 Starlink sats riding along... every rollout gets me hyped 🚀 so close to another stack on the pad!
