Starship transiting the Sun this morning during Flight 14 — prior to this morning's mission, this has never been captured before with the world's largest and most powerful rocket. I’ve ached over this shot for years, mainly for two reasons: what does methane exhaust look like silhouetted against the Sun, and how violent are the acoustic energy waves from 33 Raptor engines on the Super Heavy booster? Well...now we have an answer. 📸 - @NASASpaceflight

Earlier today, I had the honor of dedicating a recovered piece of our New Glenn booster bearing the American flag to the veterans of Blue Origin. It reminds us that not every mission goes as planned, but our commitment to the mission never wavers. To the more than 1,900 veterans at Blue: thank you for your service and sacrifice.

Initially the team thought I was not being serious….. But, it just had to be a gold.

Space jellyfish alert! Starship Flight 15 could produce a space jellyfish during its November 13, 2026 launch window from Starbase: 4:45–6:00 PM CST. Visibility will depend strongly on liftoff time and viewing location. A space jellyfish occurs when sunlight illuminates a rocket’s expanding exhaust against a darker sky. This video shows how the forecast changes at one-minute intervals across the 75-minute window. City angles show the rocket’s predicted peak elevation above the horizon while sunlit during powered flight. Explore the forecast for your location and different launch times: jellyfish.johnkrausphotos.co… Information as of November 10, 2026, 18:50 UTC. Forecast does not account for real-time weather, cloud cover, or atmospheric visibility.

Super Heavy moved to the launch pad at Starbase. Booster 22 is the first Super Heavy V3 booster planned to return to the launch site for catch and was used for final catch testing upon arrival, including a suspended squeeze test at catch height

An industry source confirms that Blue Origin's 9x4 variant of New Glenn, with an upgraded version of the GS3 kick stage announced last week, would be capable of launching Orion to the Moon. This is notable, but in the near term SLS remains the only viable vehicle that can do so.
