🚀 oddquark // SpaceX Watch — 2026-08-09 A $16.8B chip fab from SpaceX and Tesla in Grimes County?! This is huge for Starship's avionics and Starlink production pipeline — building the machines that build the machines to Mars 🚀🔧 🔗 https://www.statesman.com/business/article/elon-musk-terafab-spacex-grimes-county-22375537.php #SpaceX #Starship #Falcon9 #Elon

“ A #telescope in #Chile has captured evidence of the impact caused by part of a SpaceX #Falcon9 rocket slamming into the moon while travelling at 8,690km/h (5,400mph). The European Southern Observatory’s (ESO) Very Large Telescope observed “spectral lines” – a colourful illustration of the #sodium and #lithium gas – in the plume of #LunarDust stirred up by the impact. The #ESO telescope recorded these “chemical fingerprints” of the plume, which were visible for five to 10 minutes, the #observatory said. The #plume measured a few tens of kilometres in size, according to #CarlSchmidt, an astronomer from #BostonUniversity’s Center for #SpacePhysics.” #Moon

An authoritative source on the #Falcon9 crashing into the #moon. “ With the data I've seen as of 2026 August 1, I'm computing an impact on 2026 August 5 at 06:35:37.5 UTC (Universal Time), probably plus or minus a few seconds.” #ProjectPluto

🚀 oddquark // SpaceX Watch — 2026-08-06 A pristine Ship 40 splashdown so clean the recovery fleet is racing to grab it from orbit-visible satellite imagery?! 🛰️ This is the kind of data that turns Starship into a truly reusable interplanetary workhorse. Incredible times! 🔗 https://www.cnn.com/2026/08/03/science/spacex-starship-indian-ocean-recovery-satellite-images #SpaceX #Starship #Falcon9 #Elon

A 2.43 kilometres per second lunar collision with the #moon 384400 km away. (0) #NASA trajectory calculations for free-return during #Apollo required a 3 body problem solution. How is the #Falcon9 trajectory by chance? Why?

🚀 Heads up, Connecticut! From Meteorologist Kevin Arnone: A SpaceX Falcon 9 is set to launch tonight at 7:34 PM, carrying another batch of Starlink satellites on a northeast trajectory. If all goes on time, the rocket’s bright exhaust plume should be visible from our area. ⏱ Look 4–8 minutes after launch 👀 Face the southeastern sky 🌤 Clear skies = best chance Launches can slip, so timing matters. #SpaceX #Falcon9 #Starlink #RocketLaunch #LookUp

🚀 Friday the 13th launch! A SpaceX Falcon 9 lifts off at 5:15 AM headed for the International Space Station. By ~5:25 AM it’ll be near New England, climbing to nearly 200 km in just 10 minutes. Look up and southeast before sunrise. Clearer pockets possible in GA, PA, DE, NY, VA, Southern New England & ME. Inland = tougher. #SpaceX #Falcon9 #Crew12 #ISS #RocketLaunch #LookUp
