👀 Ship 42 is out of Megabay 2 and headed for the pad. Look closely at those fresh white numbers... and right above them: "DON'T PANIC." A little Hitchhiker's Guide wink before Friday's double-catch attempt. 🚀 26 Starlink V3s are on board. Liftoff is NET Friday at 4:45 PM CT. Watch it live with us on MaxQ Live. 📸 @Glasswizard99

Checking in on the OTHER launch happening on Friday... United Launch Alliance is aiming to fly Vulcan with 40 Amazon Leo satellites, the largest batch the constellation has launched at once. The 29-minute window opens at 11:54 a.m. CT (12:54 p.m. EST) from Space Launch Complex-41 at Cape Canaveral. ULA's livestream starts 20 minutes earlier. This first of 38 Vulcan missions for Amazon debuts a six-booster configuration and a new LEO-optimized Centaur V upper stage. maxq.app/articles/ulas-vulca…

Willing into existence the idea of a @hallmarkchannel Christmas movie @StarbaseTX called Miracle in Mega Bay 2. We even have a rough synopsis for it. I’ll post it below.

Houston aerospace engineer Emma Bennett is back in Starbase for exactly three days to help her dad run the diner’s annual Christmas Eve toy drive. Then a last-minute glitch threatens to scrub Starship’s holiday launch, and Emma gets called into Megabay 2. Waiting for her beneath a string of Christmas lights is Jack Reyes, the lead technician, her high school sweetheart, and the man who still knows exactly how she takes her coffee. With the launch window closing, Emma and Jack trace the problem to a stubborn connector and rally an off-duty crew with a promise of fresh cinnamon rolls. The fix takes eleven minutes. Finding the courage to ask why Emma left town without saying goodbye takes most of the night. By the time Starship gets the all-clear and Jack walks Emma back to the diner, the toy drive is over and her suitcase is already in the car. Then her phone buzzes. Her flight to Houston has been delayed. For once, Emma’s happy to hear it.

🚀 Starship Flight 15 is going for the double catch. Booster 22 back to the tower, then the ship comes home to Starbase about 22 hours later. Liftoff is NET Friday at 4:45 PM CT. "A fully reusable rocket is the holy grail of rocketry." @joelMaxQ breaks down the flight, the abort zones, and your jellyfish odds 👇 maxq.app/articles/starship-f…

🎖️ Happy Veterans Day! From John Glenn to Gene Cernan, so many of the astronauts who took us to space served first. All week we've been sharing their stories, and today we're saying thank you to every veteran, in space and on the ground. Know a veteran who deserves a spot on our Veterans Wall? Add them here 👇 maxq.app/veterans?v=2

NASA is ready for its next class of astronauts, but space-bound hopefuls will need to move fast. Applications opened Nov. 7 and close at 11:59 p.m. EST on Dec. 3. It's the agency's first call since 2024, when more than 8,000 people applied and only 10 made the cut. This group could walk on the Moon and help pave the way to Mars. "The window is open. The mission is waiting." - NASA Deputy Administrator Matt Anderson maxq.app/articles/nasas-astr…

Never thought I would reach it... Goals are dreams in progress. Sunday, I checked one off by standing inside the Vehicle Assembly Building at @NASAKennedy. What a view. #PhotoOfTheDay 138 @MaxQApp

A large step in the right direction for @SierraSpaceCo and Dream Chaser!
Another milestone for #DreamChaser! The @FAANews has issued Sierra Space a license authorizing Dream Chaser to reenter and land at Vandenberg Space Force Base. Thank you to the FAA for its collaboration and support of commercial space innovation.
