The Starbase Louisiana facility is planned to span approximately 125,000 to 130,000 acres (roughly 212 square miles or approximately 506 to 526 square kilometers (km²)) of coastal wetlands near Pecan Island in Vermilion Parish.

The $100 billion spaceport is being designed as a self-sustaining "small city". At full buildout, it will feature 10 to 12+ Starship launch towers, its own propellant production, power generation plants, deep-water cargo docks, an airport, and dedicated residential housing for employees

The Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope is named after Dr. Nancy Grace Roman

Dr. Nancy Grace Roman (1925–2018) was a legendary American astronomer who served as NASA's first Chief of Astronomy and the agency's first female executive. Widely revered as the "Mother of Hubble," she played a foundational role in taking the Hubble Space Telescope from an ambitious concept to a reality.

Her pioneering leadership completely revolutionized space-based observatories and fundamentally transformed our understanding of the universe

The B-52’s four main landing-gear bogies can pivot up to about 20° left or right relative to the aircraft centerline.

This lets the B-52 land with its fuselage/nose pointed into a crosswind while its wheels remain aligned with the runway. In other words, it can touch down while visibly “crabbed” sideways

A Boeing 747 stores the vast majority of its fuel inside hollow compartments within its wings and the center fuselage section.

Instead of using separate independent bladders, the aircraft utilizes a "wet wing" design, meaning the aluminum walls of the wing itself are sealed tightly to act as massive, built-in fuel tanks
