En esta foto mucho de de dónde venimos y mucho de hacia dónde queremos ir. Pedro abrió el camino para los astronautas españoles, Chrsitina representa el brillante presente del espacio y Sara y yo tenemos la suerte y la responsabilidad de coger su testigo. Qué alegría compartir una noche así en los Premios Princesa de Asturias, acompañando a Christina mientras recogía su premio a la Concordia.

Big move, bigger mission! The Artemis III Space Launch System core stage moved to the transfer aisle at NASA Kennedy. Next up – teams will lift and integrate the massive 212-foot-rocket with the solid rocket boosters as we prepare for the next giant leap in lunar exploration.
The SLS (Space Launch System) core stage is horizontal in the transfer aisle of the Vehicle Assembly Building at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida on Friday, Oct. 23, 2026. The 212-foot rocket stage was lifted from High Bay 2 using a one-of-a kind lifting beam designed to lift the stage and will be joined vertically with the completed solid rocket booster motor segments in its short stack configuration.

Rocket Lab Space Structures Complex Update 2 October 26, 2026 Middle River, Maryland For the first time, we have Rocket Lab Neutron hardware at the lagoon, getting ready to be picked up for shipment to Wallops!! No sign of a tug and barge yet, but I'm on the lookout. @NASASpaceflight – at Middle River, MD

Ship 43 is on its way back from Massey’s, and Ship 42 is rolling in to take its place - all while Booster 22 is being lifted off Pad 2 after its static fire. Never a dull moment at Starbase. Watch tonight’s triple header live: nsf.live/starbase @NASASpaceflight

So I guess two rolls tonight wasn't enough? Now that Booster 22 is off the OLM, there is ANOTHER delay tonight for it to roll back to the barn. Ship 43 is back at Production now, and Ship 42 is likely to leave soon. 🎥: nsf.live/starbase | @NASASpaceflight

Roll out solar arrays will be installed during next week's spacewalk. You can see two of them folded and ready to be installed and you can also see how they look when they are installed (look in front of the big ones - the new ones are smaller and slightly tilted).

The team also made progress at LC-36B yesterday. Roughly 450 truckloads of concrete, lined up bumper-to-bumper and stretching nearly 3 miles up the coast, supported a 4,500-cubic-yard pour for the pile caps. Three more placements to go for a total of 15,000 cubic yards. This is the foundation for our New Glenn 9x4 pad.
