This year, I broke the sound barrier 4 times! Following my L2 certification in high power rocketry on May 21st, 2023, I successfully flew my rocket Spirit 4 times, reaching a peak altitude of 11,403ft!
Happy New Year!

The @SpaceX is unreal. Facing only a 15% chance of good weather this morning and an incoming major hurricane, we still went for (with a plan to roll the rocket back in the hangar for safety if we didn’t launch). Good launch, good orbit, and good payload deploy. Sayonara HERA and Booster 1061!!!

A few minutes till Falcon 9 stage 2 restart - this is the first St2 in orbit restart since the Crew-9 issue. Target escape specific energy (C3) is 31.36 km^2/s^2 which will result in a 0.99 x 2.27 AU x 2.3 deg solar orbit

Most of these shots were taken on flight day 3 after the EVA. We would have been in a ~190x730km orbit.

From the FAA: "The SpaceX Falcon 9 vehicle is authorized to return to flight only for the planned Hera mission scheduled to launch on Oct. 7 from Cape Canaveral Space Force Station in Florida. The FAA has determined that the absence of a second stage reentry for this mission adequately mitigates the primary risk to the public in the event of a reoccurrence of the mishap experienced with the Crew-9 mission.
Safety will drive the timeline for the FAA to complete its review of SpaceX’s Crew-9 mishap investigation report and when the agency will authorize Falcon 9 to return to regular operations."

The last time the spacecraft will be seen in person...😢
Travel well, friend!
🤩 One last look at #EuropaClipper as the payload fairings close!
The spacecraft will be on a nearly 6-year journey to investigate if there are habitable conditions on Jupiter’s moon Europa. Liftoff is targeted for Oct. 10 on a SpaceX Falcon Heavy!🚀

Sparks fly off ULA's Vulcan Cert-2 mission just after liftoff this morning. An unusal site but beautiful at the same time. #ULA #NASA @torybruno

Beautiful morning setting up remote cameras for @earthskyscience ahead of Friday's ULA Vulcan Cert-2 launch.
Weather is currently 80% favorable. @ulalaunch @torybruno #launch #Vulcan #space – at Cape Canaveral, FL

This document is so sad and infuriating. NASA once made the near impossible possible. It seems irreparably lost now. caseyhandmer.wordpress.com/2…

Two pretty — and wildly different — shots to kick off Vulcan’s first two flights!
