Starliner is at a 10m hold and waiting for better lighting for the spacecraft’s cameras
@JoBlakely To be clear I think there are too many things named "Star" and I have called Starliner "Starship" multiple times today
Starliner is currently having issues with two of its four RCS thrusters. It’s holding 200 m from the ISS while they troubleshoot.
If they aren’t able to dock with the ISS (it’s possible this is connected to the helium leak, which had gotten worse), the update video for this is just going to be me screaming on camera.
INCREDIBLE images from China's Chang’e 6 lander, which landed on the far side of the moon late on June 1 and lifted off in an ascent vehicle with the first lunar samples from the far side of the moon yesterday.

The heat shield for Orion, which is the crew vehicle for the Artemis program (which is supposed to return humans to the surface of the moon this decade), is having some problems.
During the flight of Artemis I, NASA noticed that the heat shield behaved in unexpected ways. So, what's going on??

A few people have pointed out that it's worth mentioning that my newsletter is on Beehiiv, not on Substack.
I chose a service that doesn't platform hate speech, and the tradeoff was I gave up on the other service's internal algorithm and tools for helping people find your publication.
Hence why I'm doing this push. Beehiiv is GREAT, they have been really good to me, and I very much recommend their service.

I forgot to pack my kid's water bottle for school, had to run it over there, but I AM BACK NOW.
13 minutes to launch. They're watching the weather.
We got the first photos back from Odysseus!
Mars Ingenuity was designed to make 5 short flights over 30 days. Instead it made 72 flights over three years on the red planet. Now it's time to say goodbye to the little helicopter that could.
@pettter I posted about the DSN a few minutes ago!
@pettter 😬
@pettter @martinvermeer It landed for sure, they're just checking the health of the spacecraft and making sure it didn't crash land
Tomorrow, watch Japan's attempt to land their SLIM spacecraft on the moon! The livestream link is below, and the landing will be at approximately 10:20 am ET on Friday, January 19. If they succeed, they will be the fifth country (U.S., Soviet Union, China, India) to accomplish this feat!
Reminder: Japan's lunar landing attempt for its SLIM spacecraft is happening TODAY. Livestream starts around 10 am ET:
As long as my five year old cooperates, I will do live updates over here! #space #science #slim
This is the powered descent trajectory! (Screenshot from the YouTube livestream) #space #science #slim
Graph on the right -- white is expected orbit, red is what SLIM is doing. GOing well so far!! Descent has started. #space #science #slim
Engines are currently on, soon they'll be turned off. #space #science #slim
