If you knew #Historically, someone's house burns down tomorrow. Would you tell them? Then, risk being labeled the arsonist?

Loop this into the replacing SLS discussion btw. Louisiana is a decently powerful block of that senate support

NEWS: Reports suggest SpaceX may be planning a massive 136,000-acre campus in Louisiana, potentially the biggest land deal yet for the company. The rumored site near Pecan Island and Freshwater City in Vermilion Parish would cover roughly 212 square miles, dwarfing SpaceX's current Starbase facility in Texas. Local real estate insider Jim Keaty of Keaty Real Estate has been digging into the rumor after dozens of clients started asking about it. No official documents have surfaced yet, but a few sources are quietly confirming the deal. A Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries employee reportedly said Governor Jeff Landry visited the site during Easter week. Earlier reports pointed to a smaller 30,000-acre purchase near Freshwater City for a potential spaceport. The location offers remoteness, barge access for moving rockets and proximity to rocket fuel resources. It also lines up with the aerospace incentive bills currently moving through the Louisiana legislature, which target companies investing $1 billion or more. Louisiana already has a strong aerospace base with NASA's Michoud Assembly Facility in New Orleans, an 829-acre complex employing roughly 3,000 people that has built rockets for over 60 years. If confirmed, this could become one of the largest private land purchases in Louisiana history and a major expansion for the SpaceX-xAI combined company, which is also gearing up for what could be the largest IPO ever in mid-2026.

@Ramanean Damn, that's a cool one. I'm guessing it's a result of multiple impacts in the same place over time.

@KenKirtland17 Speed being the first commercial astronaut that didn’t go through the crazy training would be incredible for spaceflight SpaceX will fumble extremely hard if they don’t get him for this

While Speed going up in Dragon would be awesome, to make the most of the stream I really would like an HLS / Starship rendevous. His athletcism in a Zero G starship cabin would be insane.

IShowSpeed says he plans on streaming in space after completing his goal of visiting every country on stream 👀 "there's like 200 countries in the world and I'm at 96.. two to three more years ill be done with the whole world, after than I'm going to space"

@FinancialPhys Idk. But we got better recourse over here. China is less economic that way. It's a trade war. Bro. Wake up and smell the 5d chess.

Sedna makes its closest approach at 76 AU in 2076, That gives us ~50 years to figure out how to land a probe on Sedna. Like could you imagine how cool it would be to say we humans landed something on the most distant body in the solar system??

If SpaceX did this launch celebrating the booster while barely mentioning the second stage failing to deliver the payload we wouldn’t hear the end of it But of course, double standards from the tribal mind! But congrats to Blue Origin, this was still a relatively successful mission and still a test flight IMHO

@SpaceX @elonmusk Strange. 500 was easy compared to 600. And I get it. Was only 100 more. But the time it took....

So, it seems, that @SpaceX is like a big family that owns two businesses: 🚀 A rocket ship taxi company (the launch business) that takes things to space for people 🛰️ A WiFi business (Starlink) that uses satellites in space to give people internet Now, the rocket taxi is really popular. When other people want to use it, they have to pay a lot of money (i.e., ~$74mn vs. the $28mn @SpaceX charges @Starlink) — like taking an expensive cab. But when the WiFi business needs to send its satellites to space, it uses the family's own taxi — and the family charges itself a much cheaper price ($28mn). Like how your parents might drive you somewhere for free, but a stranger would have to pay for an Uber. This means the WiFi business looks really profitable, because it's not paying full price to get its satellites up there. And the rocket business looks like it's doing a lot of work for cheap — but that's okay because it's still in the family. So, it seems, now that everyone gets to look at the books... the WiFi business (@Starlink) is actually not at all profitable - i.e., to achieve breakeven, analysts assume each @Starlink launch must cost less than $50mn in total (satellites + launch combined); that implies a Falcon 9 launch is charged to @Starlink at under $28mn (less than half the ~$74mn market rate @SpaceX charges external customers). Hey @theinformation/@TMFAssociates... does this sound about right?
The Information@theinformation

Is SpaceX "flattering" Starlink's financial performance? Tim Farrar, President of @tmfassociates, thinks so: "If Starlink was paying full price for its launches, then it would be making loss, even though it's an amazing business."

“Einstein is the problem.” Eric Weinstein didn’t mince words on Triggernometry. If general relativity holds, we’re trapped on one fragile planet. Even terraforming the Moon and Mars only gives us three reachable spheres — nowhere near enough diversification for long-term survival. A single catastrophe could wipe us all out because we all share the same atmosphere. The only real escape, he argues, is cracking physics beyond Einstein so we can get very far, very fast. Otherwise we’re stuck playing cosmic Russian roulette. It’s a sobering wake-up call about how dangerously misaligned our priorities have become.
