SpaceX has just officially announced Starbase, Louisiana, a new $100+ billion spaceport in South Louisiana near Pecan Island.

Construction starts in 2027, with the first Starship launch from the new site planned for 2029.

Starbase, Louisiana will be built to support thousands of Starship flights a year. This self-sustaining spaceport will have propellant production, power generation, deep-water shipping capabilities, vehicle processing facilities, and an airport.

SpaceX is committed to investing at least $100 billion and creating more than 3,000 new jobs at Starbase, Louisana hiring heavily from nearby communities and utilizing Louisiana workers’ extensive experience of building complex infrastructure in their unique environment.

In Vermilion Parish, the shoreline is eroding between 3.3 and 23 feet per year. SpaceX is partnering with state and federal agencies to expand Louisiana’s Coastal Master Plan and Coastal Wetlands Planning, Protection and Restoration Act projects, including Gulf shoreline protection breakwaters designed to reduce wave energy and slow loss along the Gulf edge.

Introducing Starbase, Louisiana – a high-cadence launch site that will enable Starship to open a pathway to the stars for humanity.

Thank you to @LAGovJeffLandry and the great people of Louisiana for all of their support as we work together on this audacious project → https://t.co/zGKVOGSxfW

[Elon Musk @elonmusk]

Starbase Louisiana will ultimately have over a dozen launch towers, enabling more than 30 Starship flights per day and making it the biggest launch site on Earth!

SpaceX makes sci-fi real.

We really love our Matic.

Millions of American homes have Chinese made robots mapping their homes and listening to their conversations.

It’s the only robot vacuum built in America on the market.

Wow, Grok 4.6 making 3D print files for the real world!

I told Grok I needed a spacer to be able to use the phone charger in my Tesla.

From nothing, Grok found the required measurements, created 3D print files, and even made it multicolor for customization.

It's printing now

🚨WOW!!!

A college student is being praised as a HERO after she saw 3 little girls drowning in Lake Washington, jumped in, and saved ALL THREE GIRLS.

The last one was UNCONSCIOUS, underwater, tangled in a rope, only her hair was still floating.

All 3 SURVIVED!!!! ❤️

Her name is Lillie Vehling.

She is an engineering student at UC Davis and an attacker on the women's water polo team.

She was in Seattle for a summer internship and went to Seafair for the very first time, sitting at Genesee Park waiting on the Blue Angels with a book in her hands.

Then she scanned the water.

Three girls were out past the buoy line, bobbing, screaming, going under. She is a certified lifeguard who started her own swim lesson program, so she knew exactly what she was looking at.

One of the girls was pushing the other two under just to get a breath.

That is when she went in.

She grabbed that girl first, to stop her from taking the other two down with her. Got her to shallow water. Went back for the second one.

Then she went back a third time.

By then the third girl was already gone under.

Lillie: "I just saw her black hair in the water barely floating."

The child was unconscious AND tangled in the rope of a buoy she had been clawing at to save her own life.

Lillie got an arm under her, lifted her head out of the water, and hauled her to shore.

The little girl coughed up the lake and came back.

Seattle Fire paramedics met them on the beach. One girl went to Seattle Children's Hospital in stable condition.

All three lived.

Seafair's president found her that same day. Her first question was whether Lillie was okay. Her second was whether she could give her a hug.

That night they brought her to the gala and knighted her "Lady Guardian of Lake Washington."

Admirals lined up to meet her.

And Lillie? She is chasing a career in the nuclear Navy.

Seafair's president says she hopes the next time Lillie comes back to that lake, it is in a Blue Angels cockpit.

"To save three people, I didn't think twice about myself."

GOD BLESS Lillie Vehling, and GOD BLESS the firefighter who raised her.

THIS IS THE AMERICA I KNOW!!! 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

Terafab will be built in Grimes County, Texas

In April, we broke ground on our research fab on the North Campus of Giga Texas – the precursor to Terafab.

Both Tesla & SpaceX will need far more chips than current & future global production can supply.

This is why we're building the largest chip manufacturing facility ever, with the goal of producing over 1 terawatt of compute per year

The future is built in Texas

This is a fantastic article about @Tesla's FSD by The Detroit News:

"Determined to maintain their individual transportation independence, they are using Tesla’s hands-free FSD system as a driver assist. Though by no means exclusive to seniors in its ability to add another set of eyes to the road, FSD helps elderly drivers maintain a cocoon around their car as their confidence in reflexes and eyesight naturally deteriorate.

92-year-old Leonard Kraus uses Tesla FSD (Supervised) for 87% of his miles. He recommended Tesla FSD to his 95-year-old brother-in-law. “I don't think I would be driving without it.”

“It's as good a driver as I am,” said Dick Amacher, 78, a retired General Motors engineer from Rochester Hills who drives his Model Y and Model 3 on FSD 98% of the time. “Here's the thing, it will not go through a red light. It will not go through a stop sign. Every once in a while, I've driven through neighborhoods where stop signs were partially obscured by low hanging branches, for example. . . and (the Tesla) sees them before I do.”

Driving into Detroit, FSD exited the expressway near Wayne State. “All of a sudden the Tesla pulls over to the curb. I'm like: ‘what is going on?’” said the 78-year old. “Turns out there was an emergency vehicle coming from behind. FSD saw that it was an emergency vehicle before I did. It has vision in every direction simultaneously. A human being cannot replicate that.”

TODAY'S LESSON IN IRONY…

THE FOOD STAMP PROGRAM IS ADMINISTERED BY THE U.S. DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE. THEY PROUDLY REPORT THAT THEY DISTRIBUTE 40 BILLION FREE MEALS & FOOD STAMPS TO OVER 37 MILLION PEOPLE ON AN ANNUAL BASIS.

MEANWHILE, THE NATIONAL PARK SERVICE, RUN BY THE U.S. DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR, ASKS US, "PLEASE DO NOT FEED THE ANIMALS". THEIR STATED REASON FOR THIS POLICY BEING THAT..

"THE ANIMALS WILL GROW DEPENDENT ON THE HANDOUTS, AND THEN THEY WILL NEVER LEARN TO TAKE CARE OF THEMSELVES".

THIS CONCLUDES TODAY'S LESSON.

ANY QUESTIONS?
