Falcon9 - Blog Posts
Retro. Modern. Iconic. That’s the worm.
#TheWormIsBack
Our beloved symbol of exploration will fly once again, just in time to mark the return of human spaceflight on American rockets from American soil. The retired logo is making its comeback on on SpaceX’s Falcon 9 rocket that will take flight later this year when we #LaunchAmerica once again.
The NASA insignia, or "meatball," seen in our profile image, was quite difficult to reproduce with 1970s technology. In 1975, enter the sleek, simple design you see above! The world knew it as “the worm.” For a period of time we were able to thrive with both the worm and the meatball. However, in 1992, the 1970s brand was retired - except on clothing and other souvenir items - in favor of the original late 1950s graphic.

Get your boarding pass and join me in celebrating the upcoming launch of the SpaceX Crew Dragon - Resilience. Four astronauts are scheduled to ride a SpaceX Falcon 9 to the ISS on Saturday, November 14, 2020. #spacex #nasa #iss #launchamerica #spacestation20th #internationalspacestation #crewdragon #falcon9 https://fb.me/e/1OVkkJk4Q https://www.instagram.com/p/CHRiOwjDBHk/?igshid=1w7e8usp6ffy4
On May 27, Astronauts will launch to the ISS from Kennedy Space Center for the first time since 2011. They will be riding a SpaceX Crew Dragon spacecraft on a Falcon 9 rocket. @nasa @spacex @nasakennedy #nasa #spacex #crewdragon #falcon9 #launchamerica https://www.instagram.com/p/CALu2hMn0fe/?igshid=15gx7nn66skei
Falcon 9 Sticks the Landing
Game changing launch of Iridium Next mission, Land of Falcon 9 first stage landing and deployment of 10 satellites in low earth orbit by SpaceX. These satellites will provide important data to first responders on Earth. The first stage landing was captured entirely by the Falcon 9's point of view. First launch following SpaceX's 2016 explosion. SpaceX worked with NASA, Airforce and other groups to identify the cause and find a solution. The 2016 was caused by carbon dioxide build up between stage 2's layer of aluminum and carbon fiber wrap.
Stage one successfully lands on barge named “Just Read the Instructions”.
Stage carrying the Iridium Next satellites glows red.
Liftoff with critical small one minute launch window.
Falcon 9′s fins adjust for landing on sea barge.
SPACEX STUCK THE LANDING
SpaceX's Falcon 9 rocket landed on a barge opening doors to reusable rockets on future missions. This is a BIG DEAL as reusable rockets save major moolah. Congrats to all those who worked on it! http://gizmodo.com/spacexs-falcon-9-rocket-just-made-the-first-ocean-barge-1769942283

Carl Sagan Follow us to explore more with us @the_astrophysics_forum . Some of Sagan's most memorable contributions occurred outside the classroom. During the 1950s and 1960s, he was NASA's astronaut whisperer. He offered advice to the Apollo crew before their journeys to the moon and conceived experiments for other planetary expeditions, including an interstellar record designed to greet the unknown inhabitants of deep space. And that's just one cool thing on the list of his achievements.
