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!

Today, Musk tried to take down the Twitter sign as he changes the name to X.
It was stopped by SFPD & then axe signs & wayfinding (awesome xtraordinary effective) was allowed to remove the i leaving er & the Twitter bird on one side.
A SFPD officer said it was mistaken communication because Musk didn’t contact the owner.
But Musk knew he had to contact the owner because when he covered the W to have titter, the owner made him remove it.
You can see the W he painted white on the ground in a few photos. It didn’t work very well - people could still see the W.

SpaceX launches the Axiom-1 mission with 4 civilian astronauts to the ISS. The Falcon 9 lifted off from LC-39A on the Kennedy Space Center at 11:17 AM EDT. The Ax-1 crew members are retired NASA astronaut Commander Michael Lopez-Alegria, Pilot Larry Connor, and Mission Specialists Eytan Stibbe and Mark Pathy.
Twitter sign was partially taken down as Elon Musk changes name to X
Now more of the sign has been removed (though it remains complete on one side & still reads as Twitter on the side it was removed) & an ugly X has been erected on the roof.
“the Department of Building Inspection, which regulates construction in the city, confirmed with The Standard it has opened a complaint and initiated an investigation into the erection of the X sign at 1355 Market St”

Testing Tesla in the flesh in March 2019. Blast off mode, 0 to 60+ under 3.5 seconds. I had to ease off at 40 mph and ask the demo driver to take over for the full test, the runway wasn't thaaat long.
Washington, DC -2/4/25 - Hundreds gathered outside of the United States Treasury building accompanied by US members of Congress to protest Elon Musk's infiltration of the government.
After being clear most of the evening, a few clouds went by during the #SpaceX #Falcon9 launch with the Starlink-1 payload of 60 satellites. The first of many launches to create a constellation of thousands of satellites to provide high-speed internet to the world. Launch was at 10:30 p.m. last night from SLC-40 on the Cape Canaveral Air Force Station

The X-13 was built to prove the concept that a jet could take off vertically, transition to horizontal flight, and return to vertical flight for landing.
Equipped with a temporary tricycle landing gear, the first of two X-13s flew conventionally in December 1955 to test its overall aerodynamic characteristics. It was then fitted with a temporary "tail sitting" rig, and in May 1956 this X-13 flew vertically to test its hovering qualities.
The second X-13 -- on display at the museum -- made history in April 1957, when it completed the first full-cycle flight at Edwards Air Force Base, Calif. It took off vertically from its mobile trailer, rose into the air, nosed over into a level attitude and flew for several minutes. Then, it reversed the procedure to vertical flight and slowly descended to its trailer for a safe landing. This X-13 also made demonstration flights in the Washington, D.C., area later that year.
Even though the X-13 successfully proved the original concept, its design had limited operational potential, and a lack of funding shut down the program in 1958. The X-13 was transferred to the museum in 1959.

The entrance to the Techmart today…
Among the crowd, I met enthusiasts who flew in from Dallas and Hawaii.

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.
Although we didn't get to see the SES9 Falcon9 launched, we were treated to a pretty sunset, seen here from Cape Canaveral Air Force Station.
SpaceX launched another batch of Starlink satellites from SLC-40 on the Cape Canaveral Space Force Station at 12:34 p.m. EDT.

Elon Musk, SpaceX chief executive officer and lead designer, speaks to the news media during a news conference at NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida after the successful liftoff of the company’s Falcon Heavy rocket from Launch Complex 39A. The demonstration flight is a significant milestone for the world's premier multi-user spaceport. In 2014, NASA signed a property agreement with SpaceX for the use and operation of the center's pad 39A, where the company has launched Falcon 9 rockets and is preparing for the first Falcon Heavy. NASA also has Space Act Agreements in place with partners, such as SpaceX, to provide services needed to process and launch rockets and spacecraft. Photo credit: NASA/Kim Shiflett

A SpaceX Falcon 9 lifts off from launch pad 39A at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center on the evening of March 30, 2017. This historic launch marks the first time SpaceX has re-used a previously flown first stage. Designated B1021, previously launched NASA’s CRS-8 mission in April 2016, and following the first successful landing on the autonomous spaceport drone ship (ASDS), the stage was brought back to land where it underwent refurbishment and testing to prepare it for the SES-10 mission. The SES-10 communication’s satellite, manufactured by Airbus Defense and Space, will provide coverage for Mexico and the Caribbean, Brazil, and South America.
