Ship 37 in 4 days

Crazy how 8 months at the bottom of the ocean can make the world’s most advanced and futuristic rocket look like an artifact from an ancient civilization. @NASASpaceflight
Starship is the largest rocket ever built, and the only one designed for full and rapid reusability.
1:48 Saturn V model in the works. About 8 ft tall when finished
Water deluge at Pad 39A being tested before the launch of Apollo 8.
Launch Complex 3 is almost complete and on track for its official opening next month 🏗️ Our team in Virginia is deep into launch pad activation, going system by system to prepare for test operations once flight hardware arrives ahead of Neutron’s first launch.
75 years ago today (July 24, 1950), Cape Canaveral opened up for business when Bumper 8 flew from the sandy Florida beaches. @USSpaceForceCMD @spacex @ulalaunch @blueorigin
No pressure, but the entirety of American spaceflight depends on you buddy. Do us proud
Whole lotta new and interesting details in these pictures. LOX ice filters are different than many expected. Super cool to see the guts of a booster like this.
I really wish SpaceX never gave up on catching fairing halves. It was always so funny to see stuff like this
One of my favourite things to do whenever I get the chance to be up close with engines like this is to look around and try to figure out where everything flows and how it works. Always so interesting to figure something out and then cross reference to see how close I was.
