Delighted to be in Boise, Idaho this weekend with @Spacepointorg for iLife 2026!
It’s been a humbling experience helping to put this gallery together — not just as a chance to reflect, but in the continued hope that it might spark something in the next generation of spaceflight enthusiasts, engineers, scientists, and everyone in between.
And yes — I’ll be back in Starbase just in time for Flight 14 🤙🏻

Blue Origin is busy over at the Rocket Park. The former Ares 1 LM-1 has moved to be staged outside of MILA where the GS2 test area is well underway. Another crane has risen on the skyline. The Project Horizon building should take shape relatively fast with a ton of steel already staged.

Starship Flight 14: SpaceX potentially staging to destack Ship 41 from Booster 21. Don't panic; it could be a short destack, and Monday will still be on (pending regulatory approval).
