NASA will provide an update on its progress toward Artemis III and Artemis IV. This is the information they're releasing on SpaceX and Blue Origin's landers:

Have you put up your Halloween decor? The night sky will add the finishing touch. 🌕 October’s full moon, named the Hunter’s Moon, will rise on the night of Oct. 26. Its name comes from the seasonal practice of hunters relying on bright moonlight.

Space Aliens may be surprised to learn that Humans have multiple languages & cultures and we kill one another because of it.

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. ➡️

We are not slowing down. 🚀 Our Artemis III mission will send four astronauts to low Earth orbit next year to test critical systems needed for future lunar landings and we’re accelerating efforts to ensure the success of Artemis IV, the first Artemis mission on the lunar surface

Deployment of 27 @Starlink satellites confirmed

…

Next year, I will give one of my SpaceX shares to every kid in America. This will be the first of many.

NEWS 🚨: NASA has officially shut down its Swift space telescope after 22 years It will re-enter Earth's atmosphere and burn up sometime in the next month or two

The James Webb Space Telescope captured this image: a young star called HH 211 located about 1000 light years away. It's spewing out powerful winds creating a pair of stunning, colourful jets.

NASA Shares Stunning Images of Space Captured from Mars.

The @NASAWebb telescope recently spotted stars brewing in this cosmic cauldron. This region of toil and trouble, named N159, is 161,000 light-years from Earth, in the Large Magellanic Cloud.

If you’re looking at the new Roadster and all you can talk about is sales and margins, you’re missing the whole fuckin point. As a long-term Tesla investor, I’m looking at what Tesla and SpaceX can build together. Now imagine what could happen if the two companies actually merged. This car is a glimpse of that potential. Some of you are so busy counting cars that you can’t see what’s right in front of you. Think bigger.

Optimus and Cybercab will be the vast majority of Tesla’s value. The only things that will scale to incredible size (K2 and beyond) economically are super intelligence, robots, solar power and mass to space. And, of course, if you have the first two, the rest will follow. But Roadster is super cool, so we’re doing it anyway.

No tricks, just a celestial treat. 🌕🎃 The Hunter’s Moon rises tonight, bringing a little extra glow to Halloween week! This full Moon gets its name from the time of year when hunters traditionally used the moonlight to track game and prepare for winter. Rising around sunset, the Moon will illuminate the night sky, weather permitting. Don’t forget to look up tonight!

First time I've seen a legit infographic of Starship pushing Orion to the moon! They're also already modifying Orion to be able to handle being pushed by Starship. I like that things are being modified to follow common sense and not stuck in the "well it can't do that" as an excuse to do things poorly and compromised.

Elon Musk has claimed that SpaceX closed a $40 billion debt deal to pay for the chips it needs to fuel its AI ambitions. However, people familiar with the matter said the parties were still engaged in pricing discussions as of Sunday and the deal had not yet closed.
