👀 Ship 42 is out of Megabay 2 and headed for the pad. Look closely at those fresh white numbers... and right above them: "DON'T PANIC." A little Hitchhiker's Guide wink before Friday's double-catch attempt. 🚀 26 Starlink V3s are on board. Liftoff is NET Friday at 4:45 PM CT. Watch it live with us on MaxQ Live. 📸 @Glasswizard99

More than a dozen flight tests and years of development, with countless hours worked by SpaceX engineers and technicians, all come down to this: the first orbital Starship launch carrying advanced Starlink satellites bound for space. Watch “Go For Orbit” and experience the moments behind flying the most ambitious Starship mission yet

AMAZING news as Missouri officials have just approved funding for a new radar unit in southeastern Missouri! This new SEMO radar will be in Van Buren, directly in the radar hole you see in red near the bootheel. This will massively help in severe weather monitoring! #MOwx

GOOD NEWS: National Weather Service morning balloon launches have officially returned to normal levels while offices across the US have filled various vacancies. It seems like after an incredibly stressful and tumultuous 20 months in our industry, things are moving back to normal. It’s important to remember though that the fight must continue. The United States of America has long been the global leader in weather infrastructure. We must do everything to ensure NOAA, and by extension the NWS, is fully and properly funded to maintain this status and continue to innovate. Accurate and timely forecasts save lives and keep money in your pockets.

Today, we are unveiling StormNet 4.5. This update includes a new interface, new radar features, and a new StormNet model capability. After several breakthroughs and tons of R+D, we are excited to announce that we have developed a SOTA short-range weather prediction model.

With it being Halloween, here is an image I took of the Ghost nebula over one night in February 2025, and for some reason, never edited (probably because I abandoned the project after 1 night). Anyways, I hope everyone is having a wonderful and safe Halloween! #astrophotography
