- Holy shit watch the ocean. It just explodes with debris from the launch a few seconds after liftoff.Liftoff from Starbase
00:00 - 54 years ago today, a Saturn V almost went down. As Apollo 6 rose into the sky, the vehicle began to experience violent pogo oscillations, ripping apart sections of the Spacecraft Lunar Module Adapter. However this was only the start of the problems.
- Every photographer has a photo that makes them go โWow, I really took that?โ What is yours?
- Today's flight of Starship also saw the first flight of the TS-37 Stack Separator!
- Iโm sorry Fastest โacknowledgedโ? We just gonna ignore that or?Highway to The Danger Zone #RealTopGun The SR-71 Blackbird is still the fastest acknowledged crewed air-breathing jet aircraft. #Oscars
- A lot of replies to this tweet are so disheartening. There are quite a few people actively rooting against a spacecraft and it just makes me so sad to see. Justโฆ please try to be kind. This community is awesome when we lift each other up, and I want us to foster that kindness.Next launch to the International Space Station? Itโs Starliner Baby! ๐ธ credit @NASA
- 37 years ago at 11:38 AM, STS-51L lifted off from LC-39B. At 11:39 AM, Challenger was gone. The orbiter and her crew of seven were lost, not due to any direct issue with the vehicle, but due to negligence and knowingly flying outside of known tolerances.
