Rocket Lab Neutron AIC — Second Stage Test Stand Move Dec 10, 2025 This morning kicked off with major excitement at the AIC. As soon as I arrived, it was clear the test stand was going to move very soon — and sure enough, everything started happening fast. • Escort vehicles rolled to the gate • The test stand began its move • The whole operation was smooth, coordinated, and safe The stand traveled down the NASA Wallops Island Causeway, crossed the bridge, and headed straight into the launch complexes. I’ll be checking the viewing spots tomorrow to see where it ended up and what progress has been made. Also had a really cool meet-up with a couple folks from Virginia Spaceport Authority — always fun connecting with people who are helping make this all happen. Things are ramping up out here. And one day… hopefully we’ll see a Neutron rocket riding on that same transport trailer, crossing the bridge just like the stand did today. That will be an epic moment. Got video of the whole move down the causeway. 4K Video Here: NSF - NASASpaceflight.com

NASA Wallops Island Update — Dec 4, 2025 • LP-0A (Firefly/Antares): Workers on-site today. The truck logo suggests they were inspecting the water deluge/sound suppression system. • LC-2 (Electron): Still quiet. Waiting on the official announcement for the next Electron launch — currently set for Dec 18, window opens 7:45 PM. • LC-3 (Neutron): Lots of activity — many hardhats moving around the base of the stand. • Saw crews lifting tools and hardware, and it looked like an arc welder was lifted onto the pad. • Grabbed video of one lift and photos of another. • Noticed an additional boom lift on-site — larger than the others we’ve seen. Could be the one that entered through the AIC gate last night. • Plenty of action at the Neutron pad today. 4K Video Here: NSF - NASASpaceflight.com

NASA Wallops Island Update — Nov 21, 2025 • LP-0A: No visible activity; everything looks unchanged. • LC-2 (HASTE): The transport erector is back up again. Spotted a worker near the base — likely post-launch checks or pad testing. Hopefully we see another Electron launch before year’s end. • LC-3 (Neutron): No activity spotted today. The crane looks like it hasn’t moved since our last check — could be slowing down ahead of the holidays. • Causeway: Crews were driving new pilings again today; grabbed a short video of the work. 4K Videos Here: NSF - NASASpaceflight.com

NASA Wallops Island Update — Dec 3, 2025 • LP-0A (Firefly / Antares): No workers seen today. The boom lift that was positioned in the back is now lowered and gone. • LC-2 (Electron): Quiet on-site, but we now have a local mariner’s notice confirming a launch window opening Dec 18 at 7:45 PM. Night launches from Wallops are the best. • LC-3 (Neutron): Workers spotted going in and out of the umbilical areas and moving around the center of the pad. • Caught some video — and at around the 30-second mark, there’s another friendly wave from a fan working out there. • As always, Wallops stays active, and I’m looking forward to the updates and launches ahead. 4K Video Here: NSF - NASASpaceflight.com

The Antonov AN-124 has officially landed at NASA Wallops Flight Facility — presumably carrying Rocket Lab Neutron hardware. The aircraft traveled all the way from New Zealand, making stops in Fiji and San Bernardino, California before departing this morning for Wallops. Pictures really don’t do this thing justice. It’s a massive aircraft and was very cool to finally see in person. There was also a really nice crowd gathered at the NASA Wallops Flight Facility Visitor Center observation deck to watch the arrival. During the landing, I shot another high-speed continuous photo sequence, so I may be able to put together a video from it later. For now, I focused mostly on photos and a short video after touchdown while it rolled down the runway. The aircraft is currently parked near the end of the runway being unloaded. Definitely an exciting day out at Wallops. Thanks to all of the rocket lab community who help track this all the way to Wallops. MurrayJ jaustin175 NSF - NASASpaceflight.com

🤯Ouch! A bit of a rough morning for Booster 16! This was a pretty rare de-stacking operation, with the booster being lifted to the top of the tower and taking nearly a full hour to be lowered to the transport stand. Once in position there appeared to be some issues getting the booster into the proper alignment. After engaging the alignment pins on the transport stand, the stabilizer arms on the chopsticks released the booster. Because of the uneven weight distribution, its important for at least one of these to be attached at all times. But for some odd reason the pins suddenly retracted without reengaging the stabilizers arms first. With nothing the hold it straight, the booster crashed into the transport stand and appeared to bounce off of it multiple times! Hopefully this didn't cause too much damage to either an engine or the protective shielding! After this, the stabilizers re-attached to the booster and centered it above the stand before handing it back off to the alignment pins. It took several attempts with extending and retracting the clamp arms to finally set the booster onto the stand. There are quite a few speed ramps in this time-lapse, but I included the clock from the NSF - NASASpaceflight.com stream so you can get an idea of how fast this clip has been sped up. When all was said and done it took around 6 hours to complete this operation.

Elon Musk: "Success is uncertain, but entertainment is guaranteed!" You’re watching Blue Origin’s New Glenn rocket explode on the launch pad. The rocket was fully fueled during a static fire test when it detonated, creating one of the largest rocket explosions in U.S. history This was supposed to be Blue Origin’s big SpaceX moment. New Glenn was set to launch Amazon’s LEO satellites next week, their answer to Starlink. But after exploding during a fully fueled static fire test, that launch is off, and the rocket is likely grounded while they investigate. It’s a massive setback, but rocket engineering is brutal. SpaceX failed many times before becoming the most dominant launch provider on Earth. Now the space industry is watching to see if Blue Origin can bounce back, or if SpaceX pulls even further ahead.

/// UPDATE /// So, I have now upgraded to the Panasonic UB9000. The second disc that I inserted to test was BLACK PHONE 2 on 4K. It booted up immediately, whereas the UB820 player about nine times out of ten would fail to even read the disc. Here’s a video of it booting up on the UB9000. This is the exact same disc. It boots up within about 15 to 20 seconds. No joke!

Wallops Island update — June 3, 2026. Sloop Gut dredging, take two. Went back out today for more shots and video of the Sloop Gut dredging we reported yesterday — and caught it in action. The dredge is working the channel toward the NASA North dock, pulling wet sediment off the bottom. At the transfer area, a long-reach excavator scoops the spoil into a bin, dump trucks haul it out, and it's spread across the VSA upland farmland to dewater. You can already see the gray spoil drying on the field. Refresher: Salmons Incorporated, permit NAO-2024-02948 / VMRC #25-0521, running May 4 – October 31, 2026. A dredged Sloop Gut means reliable, tide-independent barge access to Wallops — exactly what Rocket Lab needs to move Neutron hardware onto the island. Video and shots below. Things are moving. Stay tuned. NSF - NASASpaceflight.com 4k Video Here:

Electron HASTE “VAN” — Two Cool Launch Videos Here are two clips I captured this morning from the Electron HASTE VAN mission launch: 🎥 1. Slow-Motion Launch Video: I started recording about 30 seconds before liftoff from my phone mounted on top of my camera — then got so caught up cheering the solar transit that I forgot it was recording! When I checked later, I realized I’d accidentally captured an awesome slow-motion shot of the rocket leaving the pad, crossing the Sun, disappearing, and reappearing above it. 🎥 2. Sunrise Propellant Load Time-Lapse: Arrived around 5:45 AM, just as propellant loading began. Filmed about 10 minutes and condensed it into a 1-minute clip — loved how the sky color shifted as the Sun came up behind the rocket. 4K Videos Here: NSF - NASASpaceflight.com

Correction and update from earlier today — and the real story is actually better news. What I initially thought was concrete construction activity on the VSA farmland near Arbuckle Neck Road turns out to be dredge spoil operations. Sloop Gut — the tidal channel providing access to the NASA North dock at Wallops Island — is finally being dredged. This is a big deal. Rocket Lab has long cited Sloop Gut's shallow, tide-dependent access as a major logistical challenge for moving Neutron hardware by barge. The company filed a dredging application with the Virginia Marine Resources Commission specifically to address this bottleneck. Salmons Incorporated is the contractor, operating May 4 through October 31, 2026, using an excavator, material barge, and pushed boat Gail Waring on the Chincoteague Channel and Sloop Gut. The operation I witnessed today was dredge spoil — sediment from the channel bottom — being mixed with aggregate to stabilize the wet material, then transported to nearby VSA farmland for dewatering. Per VDEQ permits, approximately 55,000 cubic yards of dredge material will be spread across roughly 78 acres at 4-5 inches depth for up to 364 days.

Mindblowing Explosion in USA Cape Canaveral 🤯 A Blue Origin rocket exploded during a routine ground test Yes they lost a New Glenn rocket Which can cost over $100 million But the bigger loss may be the launch infrastructure The static-fire test severely damaged the launch complex They’re saying that it has reportedly caused collapsing a lightning tower and destroying key support equipment Understand that the challenge is that Blue Origin has only one operational pad for New Glenn launches (unlike SpaceX, it has no backup site) The setback also affects Amazon’s Project Kuiper (Jeff Bezos’ answer to Elon Musk’s Starlink) The rocket was set to launch 48 satellites, though none were onboard during the test Amazon is already behind schedule in deploying its satellite network and faces regulatory deadlines New Glenn was expected to help speed up those launches Now with the rocket grounded and the pad damaged, delays are likely Meanwhile, SpaceX’s Starlink continues to expand, with more than 7,600 satellites already in orbit And yes, no injuries were reported And Jeff Bezos says Blue Origin will rebuild ✊ But they are all saying that, repairing the launch complex could take far longer than replacing the rocket 🥲

MUST SEE: Watch the roof at the 10-second mark. That is when flames blow through as Charlotte firefighters cut into the roof during vertical ventilation at a house fire this morning on the 8000 block of Tremaine Court. The call came in at 12:51 a.m. during last night’s severe storm. Firefighters arrived with visible fire along the roofline and controlled the fire in 40 minutes. No injuries were reported. This was one of three lightning-related house fires Charlotte Fire responded to in less than an hour. At 12:08 a.m., crews responded to the 1300 block of Sugar Hollow Drive and controlled the fire in 50 minutes. At 12:30 a.m., firefighters responded to the 4900 block of Abendego Road and controlled the fire in 30 minutes. Red Cross was contacted to assist. No injuries were reported at any of the three fires. Three lightning strikes. Three house fires. One severe storm. One busy night for Charlotte Fire.

An interesting thing I noticed, but didn't think much of at the time...During the pad avoidance maneuver, the chopsticks seemed to take quite a beating (per usual). After Starship cleared the tower the chopsticks began closing to perform the automated health checks. The ended up opening up again a few minutes later which did not happen during flight 5. This the time period where the issue was detected. Since the road opened crews have been on the chopsticks performing inspections. Note: You can also see the before and after of the lightning tower damage. I doubt this truly played a part in triggering the abort but its possible it was a factor Here is the Official statement from SpaceX: "Following a nominal ascent and stage separation, the booster successfully transitioned to its boostback burn to begin the return to launch site. During this phase, automated health checks of critical hardware on the launch and catch tower triggered an abort of the catch attempt." 🎥: Avid Space & NSF - NASASpaceflight.com

🚨 🚨 BEZOS HAS 3 OPTIONS LEFT AFTER NEW GLENN'S LAUNCHPAD EXPLOSION. ALL 3 ARE CATASTROPHIC. This is the moment nobody wants to talk about. After years of development, a $1B+ heavy-lift rocket program, and a final ground test before Amazon's Kuiper satellite mission → Blue Origin is now boxed into THREE choices. And every single one is a nightmare: ⚠️ OPTION 1: REBUILD LC-36 FROM SCRATCH – The only launchpad Blue Origin owns is now a debris field – One 600-foot lightning tower toppled. Erector-gantry: gone. Ground equipment: destroyed. – Pad rebuilds after a full vehicle explosion take 12–24 months minimum – Amazon's Kuiper constellation — already years behind SpaceX Starlink — falls further behind – Every month of delay costs Amazon market share it cannot get back ⚠️ OPTION 2: BORROW OR BUY LAUNCH CAPACITY FROM A COMPETITOR – The only competitor with available heavy-lift pads is SpaceX – Asking your direct rival for a launchpad is not a business negotiation — it's a surrender – SpaceX has every incentive to slow-walk, overcharge, or simply say no – Amazon would be funding the company that is actively destroying Kuiper's market window – Jeff Bezos built Blue Origin specifically to avoid this dependency ⚠️ OPTION 3: ABSORB THE DELAY AND KEEP INVESTING – New Glenn's first stage was enveloped in fire during a routine hotfire test — the final check before orbital flight – The vehicle collapsed. The upper stage tilted and fell. Fires burned at multiple stories – This wasn't a launch failure. This was a ground test. The hardest problems haven't even been attempted yet. – Blue Origin has no second pad, no backup vehicle, and no timeline for the next attempt – And Starlink already has 7,000+ satellites in orbit Let that sink in. There is no Option 4. There is no clean exit. There is no "we rebuild and catch up by Q4." The media is showing you "rocket science is hard" and "no injuries reported." They're NOT showing you that Blue Origin just destroyed its only launchpad — the single piece of infrastructure that connects years of development to an actual orbital mission — three hours before midnight on May 28, 2026. This is the most consequential single test failure any American space company has faced since SpaceX's Pad 40 explosion in 2016. Follow now → this story is moving fast. RT so others see what's really at stake. Prepare accordingly. 🚨🚨🚨 I'll keep you updated. Turn on notifications. 🚨

Not even a full month since every 🇺🇦 stan on this platform was full of joy that Russia will never be able to launch men into space again, 18 trucks deliver elements and equipment necessary for the restoration of the service cabin that was damaged following the launch of Soyuz rocket at Baikonur, Kazakhstan. 130 employees of Roscosmos enterprises are involved in the repair work at the 31st launch pad, said Dmitry Baranov, the corporation's deputy general director. According to him, priming and painting work is currently underway, and the readiness of the launch complex for the first launch is scheduled for the end of winter 2026. Baranov noted that the schedule of repair work has been formed, approved, and is under strict control, and also refuted rumors about the termination of the Russian manned program, urging not to speculate on the subject of the occurred malfunction.

Not even a full month since every 🇺🇦 stan on this platform was full of joy that Russia will never be able to launch men into space again, 18 trucks deliver elements and equipment necessary for the restoration of the service cabin that was damaged following the launch of Soyuz rocket at Baikonur, Kazakhstan. 130 employees of Roscosmos enterprises are involved in the repair work at the 31st launch pad, said Dmitry Baranov, the corporation's deputy general director.

Elon Musk: We hope to achieve full rocket reusability this year, a profound invention that will drop the cost of access to space by a factor of 100. “The key breakthrough that SpaceX is hoping to achieve this year is full reusability. No one has ever achieved full reusability of a rocket, which is very important for the cost of access to space. We've achieved partial reusability with Falcon 9 by landing the boost stage. We've now landed the boost stage over 500 times, but we have to throw away the upper stage. The upper stage burns up on reentry for Falcon 9, and the cost of that is equivalent to a small-to-medium-sized jet. Hopefully this year, we should prove full reusability for Starship, which will be a profound invention because the cost of access to space will drop by a factor of 100 when you achieve full reusability.” Interview at WEF, January 22, 2026
