Crew 9: We just saw the departing Crew 9 fliers sharing hugs with their station crewmates before floating into their Crew Dragon; the hatch was closed at 11:05am EDT (0305 UTC); Wilmore and Williams are in their SpaceX pressure suits; Hague and Gorbunov will follow suit shortly

I guarantee that this statement will get a lot of people's attention re: Trump and Mars: “Is it number one on my hit list? No. It’s not really." spacenews.com/trump-says-m...

Trump says Mars missions are of interest but not a top priority

President Trump says a human mission to Mars is of interest to him but is not a “number one” priority, amid concerns about NASA budget cuts.

SpaceX appears to be targeting Friday February 28th for the next flight of Starship. As of writing Starship is still grounded by the FAA following the IFT-7 explosion, which saw a significant debris fall on multiple Caribbean islands.

Last night, the first-ever public image from inside the top-secret X-37B’s payload bay in space was released. While its existence is known, most mission details remain classified.

Another NASA workforce update. The 5% figure taking the buyout would translate to about 900 employees (one number I've heard is 920). Also, "probationary [employee] separations will be performance-based or voluntary in accordance with agency policy."

About 5% of NASA’s workforce accepted the resignation offer in the Deferred Resignation Program. A small subset of that group was probationary employees and will be allowed to enter into the Deferred Resignation Program. After working with OPM and a careful evaluation of our workforce and mission requirements, probationary separations will be performance-based or voluntary in accordance with agency policy. The agency will continue to monitor all employee performances and take swift action as appropriate with any issues, ensuring American citizens have an excellent and efficient workforce at NASA.

Fun fact about LC-36: Before NG-1 on Thursday, the premiere flight of New Glenn, the most recent flight for the pad was ~20 yrs ago on 2/3/2005 for the final flight of the Atlas III (USA-181). I love seeing old sites brought back to life!

New Glenn launches NET Jan 10 from LC-36 carrying Blue Ring Pathfinder. The payload tests comms, power, and flight systems, validating orbital comms, telemetry, tracking, and ground systems. It will stay aboard the second stage for a 6-hour mission.
