SpaceX Louisiana Purchase: 136,000 acres
Cape Canaveral Space Force Station: 16,000 acres
(metric: 550 vs 65 km²)
SpaceX is about to acquire the equivalent of EIGHT AND A HALF Cape Canaverals for its Starship operations 🤯
After careful consideration and reviewing the current eligibility guidelines,
I’m officially declaring myself a @WNBA prospect.
If simply declaring who you are is all that’s required, then I meet every single requirement necessary to compete in the WNBA.
My team and I have carefully examined the WNBA’s eligibility criteria and governing framework surrounding self-identification and inclusion. Based on the current guidelines, I can and am officially declaring my eligibility for the upcoming WNBA draft in April 2027.
I know my presence on the court will stir up strong opinions.
I am definitely not here to mock, make fun of, or disrespect any community or personal choices.
I’m simply asking that the current rules be applied equally to everyone — the rules that represent the very values many WNBA players and coaches have publicly advocated for.
My team and I are prepared to ensure these guidelines are applied equally, consistently, and without exception, and I look forward to the #WNBA honoring its stated principles.
See you at training camp.

Free Electron Lasers(FEL) look like the future of EUV lithography.
This is how most EUV light is made today:
A powerful laser hits tiny molten tin droplets thousands of times per second.
The droplets turn into plasma and release the extreme ultraviolet light used to print the smallest features on advanced chips.
It works, but it comes with clear limits.
The process creates debris that contaminates the mirrors, the usable power is restricted, and the overall energy efficiency is low.
A Free Electron Laser(FEL) takes a completely different approach.
It accelerates electrons to nearly the speed of light and sends them through a series of alternating magnets called an undulator.
As the electrons move through the magnetic field they emit clean, coherent EUV light.
No tin.
No plasma debris.
Higher power output. Better efficiency. Narrower spectrum.
And in the right design, one source can feed multiple lithography machines at the same time.
Those advantages add up.
Cleaner light means less downtime and lower maintenance.
Higher power means faster throughput and fewer stochastic defects.
Better efficiency means lower operating costs at scale.
The ability to supply several scanners from a single source changes the economics of a large fab.
China is also exploring this route. Research groups there have published designs and studies on energy-recovery Free Electron Lasers specifically for EUV lithography, seeing it as a way to move beyond the limits of current tin-based sources.
This is why many see Free Electron Lasers as one of the real long-term paths for next-generation chipmaking.
The current method got the industry here.
FEL looks like the technology that can take it further.
The NASA logo is recognizable around the world because of the near-impossible feats we have accomplished and all we are still capable of achieving.
In some years past, we became comfortable moving at a different pace, one inconsistent with Mercury, Gemini, Apollo or Shuttle. We started outsourcing capabilities that should be essential to any organization built around technical, operational and engineering excellence.
For a period of time, we tried to make everyone happy. In most cases, that means no one is happy, because the headlines the interested public was waiting to read took far too long, cost way too much and, in many cases, were never realized at all.
The best and brightest across NASA show up to work each day looking to change the world, and that meant dusting off the playbook from decades past and getting after it.
We are rebuilding the workforce after a level of outsourced staffing that was indefensible. We are pausing and pivoting away from programs that were not on a path to success, freeing up billions of dollars in resources, and refocusing on the President’s national space policy and the objectives outlined through Ignition, including the missions no other agency, company or even nation is capable of achieving. And we are off to a good start.
This is how NASA made the history that inspired so many of us, and this is how we will do it again.
Read this Fauci diary entry closely. Officials would not admit the vaccine was not stopping spread because it might weaken the legal case for mandates. That is not science. That is a cover-up to justify coercion.
CNN. MSNBC. ABC. NBC.
First they refused to air Trump’s speech on election integrity and China’s interference.
Now they’re refusing to cover Dr. Fauci’s COVID diary bombshells.
When every major network goes silent on the same story at the same time, people notice.
The silence is the headline.
This is Nancy Armour, the woman who said Caitlin Clark's basketball ability is akin to the lynching of Emmitt Till.
White, liberal women with this hair cut will be our country's demise.
13,000 people own second homes in NYC valued over $5 million.
Mamdani’s pied-à-terre tax will seize $500 million a year from them.
That cash gets handed straight to illegal aliens and able-bodied freeloaders who refuse to work.
This is communism in action: loot the productive, reward the useless, and call it justice.
NEW: Rep. Brandon Gill completely stumps Smithsonian Museum of American History director Anthea Hartig before asking her if Mickey Mouse is racist.
Gill: “Are you promoting a white supremacy culture at the Smithsonian?”
Hartig: …
Gill: “Ma'am, is this a difficult question?”
Are you suggesting that homeless people are incapable of obtaining identification, and that this concern alone justifies weakening safeguards intended to protect the integrity of our elections?
Wouldn't a better solution be to make qualifying ID free and reasonably accessible to eligible voters who can't afford one, rather than eliminating the requirement altogether?
