Blue Ghost Photos


Blue Ghost Mission 1 - Lunar Sunrise / Firefly Aerospace

The Firefly Blue Ghost lander touched down on the moon yesterday, and photos from the mission are publically available. Interestingly the photos are specifically hosted on Flickr rather than on Firefly’s website, but nevertheless, there a lot of incredible photos from different angles of the mission. I particularly love this picture of a lunar sunrise, and this video of the moon fly by is also great.

New Glenn Launch


After several scrubbed launches (the most recent one being a few days ago), Blue Origin has finally launched the New Glenn rocket. The video of the launch is accessible on YouTube, with the link leading to the launch at T-20. While I’m not knowledgable about the specific logistics around launches, New Glenn going into orbit on its first flight seems to be unique according to this Hacker News comment.
