#OTD #2yrsago the huge MoonDot Starship lander touched down on the Lunar surface - with yours truly on board - and along with the official #MoonDot Ship #Crew1 under command of the incredible Altaira #Altaira !

#OTD #4yrsago a mini Orion Spacecraft #spaceship with mini #astronaut Altaira #Altaira docked at the international Lunar #gateway called MoonDot Station - all in the parallel #MoonDot 🌖 universe!

Mini Astro Luca ... and that was a successful #HotStaging ! Woohoo!
#Starship continues the flight with all 6 engines working nominal!

Another epic scene from the #MoonDot #space mission of Altaira Altaira #4yrsago !
Do you see what we did here Orion Spacecraft, ArianeGroup, Human Spaceflight, @NASA ?

Mausonaut Mini Astro Luca MoonDot Station ... and here is an impressive video of the first test launch of #ArianeHeavy developed by students at #ESASpaceCamp ! All 20 motors were working perfectly! Not as impressive as the 33 Raptors of the #IFT2 #Starship launch, but hot 🔥anyway!

Mini Astro Luca ... in the end the #hotstaging of #Starship seemed to be a bit too hot for the booster, as the booster RUDed shortly after staging. Seems to be that #Starship was lost as well as contact was lost in the final phase of powered flight. But that was a lot of progress!
#SpaceX #IFT2
Mausonaut Mini Astro Luca MoonDot Station ... well Mauso, we have a rocket like that under development - a bit smaller but much bigger than #Ariane6 (right): the #ArianeHeavy with 20 motors (left)!
Soon this will become our standard launcher in different versions - even one with a new #spaceship on top! #MoonDot #STEMEd

This brings back fantastic memories from my visit of the Centre spatial guyanais #Kourou ! And I can confirm that these helmets of the fueling crew are quite heavy:
