Just stood 10 meters (~33 feet) from Starship today in Boca Chica. Heat tiles, flaps, the full stainless steel monster towering right there — insanely close.
No other place on Earth lets the public get this close to real, operational spacecraft.
Elon’s companies just do things differently.
Open. Bold. Accessible.
This is how you inspire the world — and especially the next generation. 🚀
STARSHIP V3 – THE BIGGEST UPGRADE YET
has left the build site for prelaunch testing. Flight 12 is about to change everything
Here’s what’s new:
- Raptor 3 engines: 51% more thrust, lighter, simpler design (33 on booster, 6 on Ship)
- Full stack ~1.5 m taller for hundreds more tons of propellant capacity
- 3 grid fins (instead of 4), 50% larger, with integrated catch pins
- Redesigned fuel transfer tube on Super Heavy
- Fully reusable hot-stage interstage
- Cleaner, denser heat shield design
- First launch from upgraded Pad 2
This is the version built for orbital flights, propellant transfer, and the road to Mars
Let’s send a loud message to @LeaderJohnThune
If you think the SAVE America Act needs to be brought to the Senate Floor, drop a “👍” below
I tagged Senate Leader Thune so he will see it
🚨 BREAKING: Video has surfaced of Alex Pretti SPITTING ON and ATTACKING federal agents in the Minneapolis area on January 13th — one week before being shot during a scuffle with Border Patrol
This guy was NOT a peaceful protestor
He was a VlOLENT LEFTIST MILITANT!

No matter what Tim Walz and Jacob Frey say, they DO NOT have the legal authority to impede @ICEgov, they never will, and they know it.
This is basic federalism.
The American people see right through their charade.
