Like many Americans, we are thankful for Mr. Bridenstine’s service leading NASA at one point. He deserves credit for spearheading the creation of the Artemis Program.

After departing NASA, he created a lobbying firm called the Artemis Group, representing a host of aerospace companies vying for NASA business → opensecrets.org/federal-lobbyi…
Mr. Bridenstine’s current campaign against Starship is either misguided or intentionally misleading.

SpaceX was selected to design and develop a Human Landing System for Artemis along with Blue Origin and Dynetics during Mr. Bridenstine's tenure as NASA Administrator → nasa.gov/news-release/n…
Starship was then selected by NASA for the Artemis III mission through fair and open competition after being identified as the best and lowest risk technical option – and the lowest price by a wide margin – by the civil servant team appointed to lead the agency’s exploration mission by Mr. Bridenstine himself:

Starship’s sixth flight test aimed to push the vehicle to its limits as we iterate towards a rapidly reusable rocket.

Up next: a new ship, new year, and new limits. Excitement still guaranteed → spacex.com/launches/missi…
A block of planned upgrades to the Starship upper stage will debut on this flight test, bringing major improvements to reliability and performance 🧵
The vehicle’s forward flaps have been reduced in size and shifted towards the vehicle tip and away from the heat shield, significantly reducing their exposure to reentry heating while simplifying the underlying mechanisms and protective tiling. The ship’s heat shield will also use the latest generation tiles and includes a backup layer to protect from missing or damaged tiles

Commander @rookisaacman has egressed Dragon and is going through the first of three suit mobility tests that will test overall hand body control, vertical movement with Skywalker, and foot restraint
@rookisaacman The first test focuses on using a single hand to control body movement. The spacewalkers will evaluate their ability to move in all directions, hold a single position for 10-15 seconds, and hold position while the other arm is simulating tool use
@rookisaacman The second test assesses the crew’s ability to move up and down using Skywalker. @rookisaacman and @Gillis_SarahE will use both the horizontal and vertical bars and gauge their maximum reach

The SpaceX Extravehicular Activity (EVA) suit → #Maythe4thBeWithYou spacex.com/updates
At ~700 km above Earth, the EVA suit will support the @PolarisProgram’s Polaris Dawn crew in the vacuum of space during the first-ever commercial astronaut spacewalk
@PolarisProgram Evolved from the Intravehicular Activity (IVA) suit, the EVA suit provides greater mobility, a state-of-the-art helmet Heads-Up Display (HUD) and camera, new thermal management textiles, and materials borrowed from Falcon’s interstage and Dragon’s trunk

At Starbase, @ElonMusk provided an update on the company’s plans to send humanity to Mars, the best destination to begin making life multiplanetary
The update included near-term priorities for Starship that will unlock its ability to be fully and rapidly reusable, the core enabler for transforming humanity’s ability to send large amounts of payload to orbit and beyond
With more flight tests, significant vehicle upgrades, and missions returning astronauts to the surface of the Moon with NASA’s Artemis Program all coming soon, excitement will continue to be guaranteed with Starship Image

While it's not happening in a lab or on a test stand, this is absolutely a test. What we're doing today will provide invaluable data to continue rapid development of Starship
This rapid, iterative development approach has been the basis for all of SpaceX’s major innovative advancements including Falcon, Dragon, and Starlink
