Space-Pioneer reveal their Tianhuo-21 methalox engine (2,450 kN, 332 s sea-level), presumably for some Starship analogue.

China’s commercial space sector is taking major pages out of the SpaceX playbook. LANDSPACE has been progressively testing its FFSC BF-20. Now we have Space-Pioneer revealing Tianhuo-21 methalox engine (2,450 kN, 332 s sea-level), obviously for some Starship analogue

Gwynne Shotwell roasts Boeing

Gwynne Shotwell: "We're not retiring [Falcon 9] today, for sure, and there is another provider, right? Boeing has been paid, I think probably more than we have been paid, to develop their human capsule. So we're just going to let them have some business. They should fly their capsule. Government paid a lot of money for that. They should be able to use it."

No webcast. No advanced notice on RocketLab's social media. Just a "Oh, by the way, we launched an Electron for BlackSky a confidential customer bit over an hour ago."

Since SLS stole Vulcan’s upperstage, I propose Vulcan steals SLS’s upperstage. BEHOLD, Vulcan 1B.

This morning’s @SpaceX mission from pad 40 was the last planned Falcon 9 Starlink launch from Florida (and it launched on the fleet leading booster!!), marking the end of an era for these launches on the East Coast. From here on, Starlink missions out of Florida will fly on Starship. The West Coast team will continue regularly launching Starlink from Vandenberg.

Super proud of this incredible team. You’ve made Falcon 9 the most reliable launch vehicle in history. You also helped build the largest low-Earth orbit satellite constellation providing connectivity to millions around the world, and you’ve set the foundation for what’s next.

In the last seven years, Falcon has flown ~260 Starlink missions from the Cape… can’t wait until we launch that and many more with Starship!
