It's difficult to "stick to space" when armed lunatics are running around my state shooting children. The Santa Fe school shooting was just four years ago. El Paso Walmart was three years ago. Now Uvalde. Just not acceptable.

Yes. https://t.co/DGiC6bLEOe

Precising timing for Starliner's return to Earth on Wednesday. https://t.co/M36CDhoDNg

A superb mission so far—some issues are to be expected given the "test" nature of the flight. Now comes the big job of bringing Starliner back safely. https://t.co/ACeZjdIBJc

Firefly Aerospace says the first and second stages of its Alpha rocket have been shipped to Vandenberg Space Force Base. They made the trip in under 24 hours after leaving Firefly's test facilities in Briggs, Texas. Launch preparations for Alpha's second launch are now under way.

We’re one week from the FAA’s latest deadline to complete the environmental review process for SpaceX’s launch site in South Texas. This time my expectation is that there will not be another extension. Likely decision: a mitigated FONSI. This means …

First of all, I appreciate Katya sharing this information. Secondly, I'm reasonably confident that when I retire in ~15 years Russia will still be flying the Soyuz, if it is flying humans into space at all. https://t.co/0qH4moX8EE

Good morning. Boeing's Starliner spacecraft remains safely docked to the International Space Station, and will remain there until Wednesday.

Starliner is in a good, stable orbit! The spacecraft is now flying toward a rendezvous and docking with the International Space Station on Friday.

Time to fly, little guy! https://t.co/Ex6GqlneuH

Confirmation of "good" mission elapsed time on Starliner.

Great video by @KSpaceAcademy on what's happening with SpaceX's Raptor engine tests in McGregor, Texas. There are an average of three a day, and while there have been two RUDs in the last month, it's likely not a big deal. https://t.co/vub1XzeO5H

Dmitry Rogozin has given a space policy speech in which he discusses <checks notes> America's farm crisis. Looking forward to hearing from @katlinegrey and @RussianSpaceWeb as to whether there's any substance here. https://t.co/2JWoFGQOey

Scoop – SpaceX president Gwynne Shotwell responded internally to the sexual misconduct allegations against Elon Musk, writing in an email to employees obtained by CNBC that the company has a "ZERO tolerance" policy for harassment. https://t.co/xLT0GxWMIa

She’s here! Only a small dot for now, but soon she will knock at our door. #Starliner #OFT2

Still no update since last night about Boeing's Starliner spacecraft supposedly en route to the International Space Station. According to the timeline Boeing distributed before launch, a go/no-go decision for approach to the station should occur ~2:30 p.m. ET.

Boeing’s Mark Nappi, in a post-launch press briefing, says two OMAC thrusters on the Starliner spacecraft failed during the orbital insertion burn. On-board flight control system took over and switched to backup thrusters to complete the burn, and Starliner is in a good orbit.

In other news, here's an interesting rumor about the lack of movements for 2 recently launched Russian military satellites before they re-entered (TLDR: They are used as passive targets for testing ASAT laser systems): https://t.co/jYICNgriaY

As @NASA moves forward with plans to send astronauts to the Moon under Artemis missions to prepare for human exploration of Mars, we're calling on U.S. industry, academia, international communities, and others to provide input on our deep space exploration objectives.

This is it; this is the moment. @NASAPersevere is being instructed to begin the ascent of Hawksbill Gap. "The delta in Jezero Crater is the main astrobiology target of Perseverance," said deputy project scientist, Dr Katie Stack Morgan. https://t.co/xep5TsQzUT

ABL Space Systems says it’s completed acceptance testing of the second stage of its RS1 rocket after an anomaly during a January test, and shipped the stage to Alaska for launch. Video: https://t.co/0i5xe7w2FX

The Ukrainian Army has released a video showing its soldiers taking cover in a forest under intense Russian artillery fire but being able to maintain communications thanks to StarLink. The video ends with them thanking Elon Musk for sending hundreds of StarLink receivers to UA.
