A little preview of what to expect during our spacewalk from Dragon. Hopefully, we’ll make it look as good as this @SpaceX rendering.
The @PolarisProgram’s Polaris Dawn mission will be the first crew to perform a spacewalk from Dragon, fly higher in Earth’s orbit than anyone since the Apollo program, test laser-based @Starlink communications, and conduct research to help provide insight on human health during long-duration spaceflight missions → spacex.com/launches/mission/…

Latest forecasts continue to show unfavorable weather conditions in the areas along Florida’s coast where Dragon would splash down upon returning from space. Once teams identify the next best opportunity for launch and return of the Polaris Dawn mission, we’ll provide an update. Falcon 9 and Dragon remain healthy and vertical on the pad at 39A

Round the bases, Randal! 👏
I wanted to share some updates: - The primary factor driving the launch timing for Polaris Dawn is the splashdown weather within Dragon's limits. Unlike an ISS mission, we don’t have the option to delay long on orbit, so we must ensure the forecast is as favorable as possible before we launch. - We sincerely apologize to those who have traveled to see our launch and have faced delays. Many of our guests were able to witness 1062’s final Starlink mission. While it’s unfortunate she didn’t stick the last landing, the cause is well understood, and she successfully completed her mission. 1062 had an incredible career, flying many notable missions, including Inspiration4 and AX-1. It’s remarkable to think about the life this amazing rocket led from the day she first rolled off the assembly line. - When we are ready to launch, we will be working within the same window as previously briefed. - The crew remains in quarantine, staying productive, keeping fit, and ready to launch within approximately 30 hours of receiving a favorable forecast. Space exploration demands patience, resilience, and teamwork. We are deeply grateful for the dedication of everyone involved and for the support of those who believe in our mission. Together, we are pushing the boundaries of what’s possible and continuing humanity’s journey to the stars.
Falcon 9 transits the moon 🎥 Watch the sound waves radiate outward from Falcon's exhaust! They create a refractive effect and break up the edges of the moon, making it ripple Incredible super-slowmo capture by @johnpisaniphoto with @freeflysystems and a beautiful tribute to veteran booster B1062

We really loved this trip to @SpaceCampUSA and @RocketCenterUSA… eager to visit again.
We're thrilled to witness history in the making as the Polaris Dawn mission launches tomorrow. This isn't just another spaceflight; it's a personal connection for us. The Polaris Dawn crew are our friends, and we're rooting for them as they embark on this adventure! #PolarisDawn
Our launch criteria are heavily constrained by forecasted splashdown weather conditions. With no ISS rendezvous and limited life support consumables, we must be absolutely sure of reentry weather before launching. As of now, conditions are not favorable tonight or tomorrow, so we’ll assess day by day. As Elon mentioned, Polaris Dawn is a challenging mission with critical objectives, so we’ll wait for the best opportunity to ensure success. Sometimes, the hardest journeys require the most patience, and we’re ready to wait for the right moment. We know many have traveled to see the launch, and we’re grateful for your support. Alongside @SpaceX, we’ll do our best to keep you updated.
Due to unfavorable weather forecasted in Dragon’s splashdown areas off the coast of Florida, we are now standing down from tonight and tomorrow’s Falcon 9 launch opportunities of Polaris Dawn. Teams will continue to monitor weather for favorable launch and return conditions
We are grateful to all our friends, family, and supporters who have come out to @NASAKennedy for the launch. The best aerospace engineers in the world are working on the issue, and we promise to put on a great show soon enough!

Looking forward to seeing @PolarisProgram and crew @rookisaacman, @annawmenon, @Gillis_SarahE, @KiddPoteet in space! 🚀 So grateful they are taking St. Jude with them and raising funds for the St. Jude lifesaving mission. Show your support by donating.⬇️ bit.ly/3WZSHuS
It takes a massive team effort to bring a mission like Polaris Dawn to life. Together, we’re making incredible progress for the future—both in space and here on Earth. We can do both.
More time in quarantine to prepare is never a bad thing. We’re well-informed on the issue and resolution. It’s immensely comforting to have the full support of @SpaceX & leadership, including Elon, ensuring mission's safety. When the call comes, we won’t hesitate to strap in.
While it’s a bummer to not step into a launch attempt tonight, I’m very proud of the team for identifying an issue and then digging in. Nothing is more important than the safety of our astronauts and the reliability of our vehicles and operation.

T-1 day! This one’s for the @SpaceX team. From day one to T-1, I have been awed by their demonstration of how to dream big, persevere, and build a better future. This photo, taken during quarantine on our last day at SpaceX, offers just a small glimpse into the incredible team of people behind the Polaris Dawn mission.

It was amazing to stop by the hangar and meet the incredible @SpaceX technicians & engineers working hard to get Falcon & Dragon ready for launch. This pic is great—the TE structure is so massive, it feels straight out of a Transformers movie. We are grateful for every moment of this journey.

Four astronauts are scheduled to blast off next week on a historic six-day mission to a record orbit, 870 miles above Earth — more than three times higher than the ISS. The mission will also attempt the first-ever commercial spacewalk.
