I don't think this is official, but this is... an artist's impression... of what half the plumbing at the bottom of the Superheavy Booster will look like. Source unknown, half the space nerds are posting this right now.

Kayaking out in the bay today, we passed a group of harbor seals chilling on one of Sausalito’s many docks.

The first photos from the Chinese Mars rover have been released: http://www.cnsa.gov.cn/n6759533/c6812021/content.html

Looks like it's ready to roll.

Good Morning!

I have no idea where this is from, but Mars looks ecstatic about its latest visitor.

Here's the landing sequence for Tianwen-1 - as many of the Mars landing attempts, it is complex and fraught with potential hiccups/disasters. I hope they'll make it, since we sure can use more science opportunities on Mars.

Bread pudding accomplished! It smells incredible.

Interesting. Starship SN15 is being moved back to one of the launch pads and it looks like they might put it back on a launch stand.

If that's actually going to happen, there two options: Either they just remove the old engines for inspection and drag SN15 off to the fabrication site, OR they are relaunching SN15 with the same or new engines.

Having seen their approach to these test campaigns, I'd say there's a good chance they will refly SN15 in the coming weeks.
