Been a while since I've posted a timelapse of Falcon 9 Second Stage "musical chairs" action at SpaceX McGregor. This afternoon, the next Stage 2 arrived and switched places with the last Stage 2, which soon departed for its upcoming mission at a space port near you! @NASASpaceflight | nsf.live/mcgregor

SpaceX is working on dual flows for its upcoming Starship missions, with Flight 15 set for mid-November from Pad 2. This is ahead of Flight 16's vehicles, which are expected to head to KSC for a launch from 39A. ➡️youtu.be/5NPgyfCRg5A

A sight that’s starting to feel novel again… Falcon 9 first stage B1085 has returned to Port Canaveral aboard SpaceX’s recovery drone ship “A Shortfall of Gravitas,” after launching the Bandwagon-5 mission this past Tuesday morning. With no Falcon launch operations expected for the next ~6 weeks from Florida, that would mark the longest gap between Space Coast launches since 2020. 📸 - @NASASpaceflight nsf.live/spacecoast

BREAKING: The first indication of @BlueOrigin's New Glenn Return-To-Flight is here... December 28, 2026. The CADENA air traffic advisory lists this mission as "New Glenn 4.1". The rocket which exploded was "New Glenn-4". As ever, these dates are extremely provisional, and should be taken with a pinch of salt until more concrete information is released. 📷 @thenasaman/@NASASpaceflight

Another night, another Ship!
Starship Ship 43 has arrived to Massey's for its cryo testing campaign, 4 days after its potential flight 16 partner Booster 23 returned from its cryo campaign. Could this be the first Ship to fly out of the Kennedy Space Center? @NASASpaceflight | nsf.live/starbase
