Since you asked so nicely, here’s a few shots of SRMs in our storage facility in Florida. GEM63s and 63XLs. This facility, plus those stored in Utah, contain over 50 SRMs. More than 5 million pounds of propellant!

Something appeared to fall off Ship 34 during stacking. SpaceX aborted the stacking and are now in a holding pattern. Stay tuned.

Still steaming… Of the many static rocket motor firings I’ve done, this GEM63XL was the first in a blizzard! Thanks NG for your hard work. And thank you General Garrant for your leadership and no kidding cold weather fortitude!

I'm told that "DOGE is at NASA HQ". I know nothing more, make of that what you will.

Aperiodic reminder that the Olympus Mons volcano on Mars is wider (590 km) than Saturn's icy moon Enceladus (504 km).
So this image is pretty much to scale.
(Not a real image, mind, but a boy can hope)
