Blood, sweat, tears, and sacrifices :’) launched the most powerful rocket in history yesterday from beautiful Boca Chica!!! the best part about all this wasn’t the control room walls shaking, or the 33 engine booster startup, or the incredible ship mission, or even meeting ms starship herself. It’s the fact that I got to do it with my favorite people in the entire world and the finest flight operations team ever 🚀🚀🚀 this was a hell of a campaign but im sooo proud of our fight - we do things because they are hard!!!! Per aspera ad astra ✨💫 - ur favorite raptor 1

yeehaw 🤠 🚀 what a magical place w magical ppl building the future together. my baby is a FLIGHT PROVEN booster now :’) it’s still hard to wrap my mind around how impossibly difficult it was to catch a SKYSCRAPER out of the sky, and how many pieces had to come together perfectly to do it on the first try. one big step closer to the stars!! ✨ 🌟
bad for the knees good for the soul
Leaping tiger (gorge)??? Hardly know her Special shoutouts to - my parents who made it up fanjingshan the hard way bc I wanted to hike - my retired uncle who led the trek and dealt w shoes that fell apart - everyone who very patiently dealt with my broken Cantonese/mandarin - Lewis who got married wow (but didn’t recognize his own dog smh).

What a beautiful day to light and run 39 engines on the most powerful rocket humanity has ever built!!! This day wouldn’t have come together so successfully without countless badass engineers and techs giving their blood sweat and tears into this launch - it’s only gonna get more intense and crazy from here until mars!!!! WHILE IM FEELIN SAPPY I’m so so happy I get to keep livin la Vida boca with my best friends. Also v lucky that I get to be part of such a dope flight operations crew, but even more lucky that I get to call these peeps my homies. Starships and engines are dope, but it really is the people that make this place magical ✨🚀
Grateful for this time of climbing and dancing with old friends and new!! Esp thankful for the peeps that challenge me and help me find flow on the wall or dance floor, thanks for giving me a bit of peace in this chaotic life 🌟 💫

Live laugh launch 🚀 Most anxiety ridden week of my life ended in such a beautiful RUMBLY launch of the most powerful rocket humanity has ever developed. Sitting on console as stage software 1 for the first and last time was such a bittersweet moment, especially during terminal count when the last couple seconds seemed to stretch into an eternity. I can’t be more proud of my incredible teammates and friends for this mind blowing accomplishment - to Mars my friends !!!! Now for a new adventure - still in beautiful Boca Chica, but I’ve joined the Raptor Flight Operations team to work on the engines after working on the stages for the past 3ish years. Definitely a bit of a jump from software to propulsion engineering, but I’m so excited to just be a sponge and learn new things and face new challenges!!! Yeehaw 🤠 Per aspera ad astra 🥹🚀
