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.
Elon says he’s not a dancing puppet:
“I’m not your dancing puppet!”
Then the music starts and he immediately becomes one. The gap between the image people try to force on him and the version that actually shows up is the whole point.
SpaceX engineers spent several days inspecting Ship 40 in the waters off Christmas Island. They collected heatshield samples and gained vital insight into how the vehicle handled reentry with improvements now planned on future vehicles
JUST IN: SpaceX is going to build Starbase, Louisiana – a high-cadence launch site that will enable Starship to open a pathway to the stars for humanity.

Elon Musk
"If you want to go out there and make life multiplanetary, and not just be a tourist—send a few people and come back—and if you want to go there and actually build a self-growing civilization, you need serious tonnage.
We are going to bring, I think, probably north of 10,000 really exciting jobs to Louisiana. They are the kind of jobs that are so exciting, you cannot wait to go to work in the morning. It is super inspiring, and we believe in having a really fun work environment. It is hard to beat rockets, frankly.
I think it has been incredibly exciting for the people of Louisiana. We will make it so the public can come and see, like they do at Cape Canaveral. People will go see Disney World, but then they will go over to Cape Canaveral to watch the rocket launch."

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
