Raptor flex at McGregor just now!
557 second firing on the Raptor North Stand. Second longest ever (and the longest was a run to failure, where it just kept on going!)

The problem with this is that last week @NASAAdmin already mentioned NASA has no plan to on-ramp anyone or start a CCP 2.0 of sorts. So if they don't want to self-fund it, it'll just stay at the "dozen people team" stage forever.
Or NASA changes plans eventually...
To put more context... nitter.cf/Alexphysics13/status/2…
Yeah and then basically said that if they wanna fund it on their own, good for them. In other words, no on-ramp or CCP 2.0 or anything. NASA will be more than happy to buy seats when the systems are developed but nothing else.

Return to Sender 📥
After the first intact splashdown in the Indian Ocean, Ship 40 arrives back at its home, in Starbase Texas. 75 days at sea have not been kind to this resilient ship, but it has finally returned to Starbase (mostly) intact on board the back of the heavy lift vessel Forte.

The booster landing tank test article, which was undergoing its 16th Cryo Test at Massey's tonight, might have had a rupture near the bottom of the tank. It is unknown if this was intentional or on purpose.

. @blueorigin Orbital Reef program manager Randy Lillard said at IAC2026 panel that Blue has no plans to internally fund a crewed vehicle. “We await an on-ramp opportunity with NASA," he said. Blue has an unfunded NASA Space Act Agreement for crew vehicle tech development.
