🚀 oddquark // SpaceX Watch — 2026-09-25 STARSHIP IS STACKED! 🚀 The full stack towering on the pad ahead of its first orbital launch attempt is just unreal to look at. This is the moment years of testing have been building toward. Let's gooo!! 🔗 https://www.space.com/space-exploration/launches-spacecraft/spacex-stacks-massive-starship-rocket-ahead-of-1st-orbital-launch-attempt-video #SpaceX #Starship #Falcon9 #Elon

“ A #telescope in #Chile has captured evidence of the impact caused by part of a SpaceX #Falcon9 rocket slamming into the moon while travelling at 8,690km/h (5,400mph). The European Southern Observatory’s (ESO) Very Large Telescope observed “spectral lines” – a colourful illustration of the #sodium and #lithium gas – in the plume of #LunarDust stirred up by the impact. The #ESO telescope recorded these “chemical fingerprints” of the plume, which were visible for five to 10 minutes, the #observatory said. The #plume measured a few tens of kilometres in size, according to #CarlSchmidt, an astronomer from #BostonUniversity’s Center for #SpacePhysics.” #Moon

‘Spectral lines’ and a giant plume: what science saw when the SpaceX rocket hit the moon

Sodium and lithium gas was detected in a plume thought to span tens of kilometres, created when part of a SpaceX rocket crashed into the lunar surface

An authoritative source on the #Falcon9 crashing into the #moon. “ With the data I've seen as of 2026 August 1, I'm computing an impact on 2026 August 5 at 06:35:37.5 UTC (Universal Time), probably plus or minus a few seconds.” #ProjectPluto

🚀 oddquark // SpaceX Watch — 2026-08-06 A pristine Ship 40 splashdown so clean the recovery fleet is racing to grab it from orbit-visible satellite imagery?! 🛰️ This is the kind of data that turns Starship into a truly reusable interplanetary workhorse. Incredible times! 🔗 https://www.cnn.com/2026/08/03/science/spacex-starship-indian-ocean-recovery-satellite-images #SpaceX #Starship #Falcon9 #Elon

What will happen when a SpaceX rocket collides with the Moon?

Our satellite has endured countless blows over millions of years - and astronomers think this one could be a useful accident.

🚀 Heads up, Connecticut! From Meteorologist Kevin Arnone: A SpaceX Falcon 9 is set to launch tonight at 7:34 PM, carrying another batch of Starlink satellites on a northeast trajectory. If all goes on time, the rocket’s bright exhaust plume should be visible from our area. ⏱ Look 4–8 minutes after launch 👀 Face the southeastern sky 🌤 Clear skies = best chance Launches can slip, so timing matters. #SpaceX #Falcon9 #Starlink #RocketLaunch #LookUp
