"This is the foundation of my philosophy: I am
curious about the nature of the universe... and obviously I will die... But I would like to know that we are on a path to understanding the nature of the universe and the meaning of life and what questions to ask about the answer that is the universe"

Starship’s cargo bay delivers 1,000+ cubic meters of usable volume
The entire International Space Station has a pressurized volume of 1,005 m³
It took 42 assembly flights and over $150 billion across 13+ years to build
Starship can deliver more volume than the entire ISS in a single flight
For context, a single payload bay can hold:
→ The interior volume of a massive 5-bedroom house
→ The volume of 20+ standard shipping containers
→ Entire space station modules (fully assembled)
→ Over two dozen Cybertrucks
→ Multiple Boeing 737 fuselage sections
→ 100+ large satellites with room to spare
And it is 18 meters tall....meaning you can stack an entire 5-story building inside it
And it is fully reusable.
Launch the next massive telescope. Or an entire space station. Or the next Mars habitat
All possible in a single flight
This is why Starship is pure engineering magic
Maye Musk on Elon: He wants to leave the world in a better place than he found it
“People often misunderstand Elon. He’s not motivated by money or fame—he’s motivated by the idea of improving humanity.
Whether it’s making electric cars mainstream, reducing the risk of human extinction through space exploration, or ensuring the free flow of information on platforms like X, his goal has always been the same—to leave the world in a better place than he found it.”
Falcon 9 is vertical at pad 40 in Florida ahead of tomorrow’s launch of Dragon’s 34th Commercial Resupply Services mission to the @Space_Station. Teams are keeping an eye on weather, which is currently 35% favorable for liftoff→ https://t.co/c8cVFXwJY0
For a driver born without arms, FSD Supervised is life-changing accessibility
“I was born without arms and have driven with my feet my entire life. I’m a fully licensed driver, and traditionally I drove with my left foot on the steering wheel and my right foot handling the gas and brake. My only legal restrictions are automatic transmission and power steering.
Over the years, though, the strain from my congenital birth defects has led to significant arthritis in my hips. I drove a Model 3 for the past seven years, and it honestly helped extend my independence in a huge way.
Recently upgrading to the Model Y – along with Full Self-Driving – has been a complete game changer for me.
It dramatically reduces the physical pressure and fatigue of driving and has helped preserve a level of freedom and mobility that means a great deal to me.
Most people understandably think of Tesla in terms of innovation or sustainability, but for some of us, this technology truly becomes life-changing accessibility.”

BREAKING: SpaceX has once again broken the record for the tallest rocket ever built.
For the third time in just three years, a new version of Starship has been stacked at Starbase in South Texas near the US-Mexico border.
Starship V3 is larger and more powerful than previous generations, continuing SpaceX’s rapid pace of iteration as it pushes toward full reusability and deep space missions.
The scale of development happening at Starbase is unlike anything the modern space industry has seen.
Less than one hour until Falcon 9’s launch of Dragon’s 34th Commercial Resupply Services mission to the @Space_Station. Teams continue to monitor weather, which is currently 10% favorable for liftoff at 6:50 p.m. ET → https://t.co/c8cVFXwJY0
