Cape Canaveral Space Force Station, FL. – This afternoon, June 17, 2021, SpaceX launched the Global Positioning Satellite (GPS) III-5 Mission. The previously flown Falcon 9 booster roared to life at 12:09 PM EDT from launch complex 40. The GPS III-5 was built by Lockheed Martin for both military and civilian uses was placed into orbit and shortly after launch, the first stage made a successful landing on the recovery ship “Just Read the Instructions”.
Hands Off! Protest in Vero Beach, Florida on April 5, 2025. A large crowd of over 2000 showed up to protest Trump and Elon Musk policies and the havoc caused by DOGE. This was one of 1200 locations where people raised their voices across the nation with more than 5 million participating. Resist!

May I present shots of the #EchoStar23 launch by #SpaceX atop a legless #Falcon9 rocket, taken directly from Pad 39A. These shots are from two cameras that I set on Monday, and the cameras sat patiently waiting until 2:00 am (ET) Thursday morning to capture these images.
Although I get to process and post these pictures, it would be a glorious oversight for me to not acknowledge the considerable efforts by Bill Jelen and Mary Ellen Jelen for making these images possible. They checked in on the cameras Tuesday afternoon; they waited for a chance to pick them up at 5:00 am Thursday morning, ultimately returning to the Pad Thursday afternoon for pick up and then sent me the files for processing. Also, Jared Haworth gets a shout-out for the dew heaters that kept the lenses warm and for ever-present guidance.
From the pad, an impressive display of the power of the #SES12 #SpaceX #Falcon9 rocket, launched thunderously from SLC40 this (Monday) morning at 12:45am (ET).

SpaceX launched the Japanese ispace Hakuto-R Mission 1 robotic moon lander, and NASA's micro-satellite called Lunar Flashlight to look for signs of water ice hidden in the permanently dark crater floors of the moon's poles. After launch, booster B1073 returned to land at LZ-2 on the Cape Canaveral Space Force Station

Elon Reeve Musk, aka Elon Musk is the founder, CEO, CTO, and chief designer of SpaceX; early investor, CEO, and product architect of Tesla, Inc.; founder of The Boring Company; co-founder of Neuralink; and co-founder and initial co-chairman of OpenAI. Musk is one of the richest people in the world.

The #SpaceX #DM1 launch was a very big step toward being able to launch astronauts from US soil, possibly as soon as July/August of this year.
The launch (and landing!) seems to have proceeded nominally thus far.
These are some of my photos taken Friday, March 1, 2019 during remote camera setup and, of course, during the launch on Saturday, March 2 at 2:49am (ET).
Crew access arm + Crew Dragon = the coolest. (Bonus: People for scale)
SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket launched from NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida at 8:30pm on 22nd April 2020. The mission will launch SpaceX’s seventh batch of Starlink broadband satellites.
Here it is passing over SW London 24 minutes later!

I took my boat out so I could get up close to the SpaceX Falcon 9 booster B1061.2 with the Crew Dragon Endeavour spacecraft. The NASA Crew-2 mission is scheduled to launch tomorrow morning at 5:49 a.m. EDT.
It was a beautiful, and historic, first "operational" SpaceX Crew Dragon mission. Known as the Crew-1 with the Dragon Capsule named "Resilience", launch occurred at 7:27 p.m. EST on Sunday evening from LC-39A on the Kennedy Space Center.
Protesters hold up signs reading "Deport Musk" and "Tesla The Swasticar" at a protest outside a Tesla facility in Minneapolis(Golden Valley) on March 1, 2025. The protests are part of nationwide "Tesla Takedown" protests targeting Musk, Tesla and the Trump Administration.

SpaceX closed out the year with a beautiful launch from LC-39A at 9 a.m. EST Saturday with the NROL-108 satellite, and topped it off with a landing at LZ-1 on the newly renamed Cape Canaveral Space Force Station. It was SpaceX's second mission for the National Reconnaissance Office, and their 26th flight this year.

At 10:30 am on Sunday, January 19, 2020, SpaceX launched the Crew Dragon atop a Falcon9 rocket to prove the viability of the capsule's abort system. Shortly after launch, the Crew Dragon intentionally separated from the Falcon9 booster (which was consumed in a fiery explosion) and landed safely eight (or so) minutes later.
Early indications are that the test was a success, teeing up the next, crewed flight. SpaceX founder Elon Musk would later say that he expected humans to fly on the Crew Dragon in the second quarter of 2020.
At 4:14pm (ET) on Friday, May 11, 2018 SpaceX launched the #Bangabandhu1 satellite atop the first #Block5 #Falcon9 rocket.

You can watch the launch live, if it happens (update: now scheduled for 5:05pm PST, March 20) video replay
The Falcon 1 is a new orbital launch vehicle with modern materials (carbon fiber) and electronics (the Shuttle uses 1970s technology). It has no fins, and dramatically lowers the cost of getting to orbit.
Scenes from demo flight one, which blew up in flight.
