Happy 1st Birthday, Starbase.
One year ago today, Starbase officially became a city. In that time, we’ve hosted multiple Starship flight tests, grown our community of people building the future of spaceflight, and worked to protect our beaches and natural resources for generations to come.
Next year will be even bigger. More launches. More progress. And we’re just getting started!
Thank you to everyone who has been part of Starbase’s first year as a city.
SpaceX completed its 50th Starlink launch of 2026 today. With this mission, SpaceX has deployed 1,375 Starlink satellites so far this year, and another Starlink launch is scheduled for later tonight.

.@SecMullinDHS dispels false rumors about Delaney Hall: First, they said it was overcrowded. We have twice the square footage as the state penitentiary. They said the medical condition was horrible. We have twice as much medical staff per person as the state penitentiary.
SpaceX has joined three other industry groups in calling on the FCC to adopt a nationwide policy to automatically unlock phones tied to a carrier’s network 180 days after activation.
“Automatic mobile device unlocking is essential to protecting consumer choice, promoting competition, and lowering costs in the mobile marketplace. We urge the FCC to prioritize the needs of consumers and their families over large corporations’ abilities to thwart competition,” SpaceX says.
Senator @meaccoleman finally brings the saga of Almanzo to an end for now. Almanzo lived a life….a tremendously boring life that should never have been the subject of a pamphlet much less a book.
I was unclear if it was Alonzo or Almanzo. I appreciate @scottfaughn clearing it up. I am starting to think I would have preferred Golden Years though.
BREAKING: Senator @meaccoleman teased the senate with a mildly interesting plot wrinkle of a borderline racist joke about the Irish….but in a cold twist she edited the joke. There is no way Senator @TracyMcCreery can hold out much longer under the onslaught of boring.
As Senator @meaccoleman begins chapter 6 of Almanzo’s incredibly boring journey you have to tip your hat to Senator @TracyMcCreery for keeping this bill on the floor during the drudgery. Honestly she couldn’t have picked a better book to force this bill to be laid over.
As Senator @meaccoleman begins chapter 4 I find myself actively rooting against Almanzo (not in like a MAGA way) because it’s nearly impossible to live a life this oppressively boring.
For real not one even remotely interesting thing has happened to the sumbitch in 4 chapters.
Now Senator @meaccoleman is reading a touching story about Almanzo apparently a migrant farmer, and his plight living possibly the most boring life ever to be the focus of a literary work. As she also castigates the peanut gallery. Luckily for her all the members of the press besides one are long gone.
