Sure wish someone had reminded me yesterday. Missed out on an hour of sleep today. 😡
Happy Halloween! 🎃 Guess which one is mine. 😁
It's pretty remarkable how people used to praise SpaceX for being so public about their Starship progress. That has completely reversed in recent years.

Next stop? Mars!

Blue Origin’s New Glenn rocket roared to life for a 40 second static test ahead of launching NASA’s ESCAPADE mission in early November!

JAXA's HTV-X1 resupply vehicle has arrived at the ISS! The spacecraft launched aboard an H3 rocket a few days ago, and has now been berthed to the ISS. HTV-X1 will stay attached for up to 6 months, after which it'll perform a 3 month free-flying demonstration before deorbiting.

Wow, I had no idea either. 🤯

The biggest moon in the Solar System.

Bigger than Mercury, and with a rocky interior under NINE HUNDRED KILOMETRES of ice and water.
It looks like what you'd get if you combined Falcon 9, Vulcan, and Superheavy. Pretty neat, I must say. Has Landspace said if they're going to try to land it on its first flight, or is that for future flights?

Blue Origin CEO, Dave Limp, shared a fun timelapse of their New Glenn rocket being situated on the transporter erector. Rollout to Launch Complex 36, and hot fire testing coming soon, which we should be able to see a bit of with our 24/7 livestream, Space Coast Live.
