The only thing we have ever named after Cromwell was, I think, a tank. Cromwell faces insuperable obstacles from a) monarchists and b) Irish. They are a formidable coalition and not normally in alliance.

“After Churchill moved to the Admiralty in 1911, relations deteriorated further when he suggested naming a ship HMS Oliver Cromwell. The King had strong views on ships’ names, and unsurprisingly took exception to his government honouring a regicide. ‘I have always endeavoured to profit from any guidance His Majesty has been gracious and pleased to give me,’ Churchill wrote to him rather stiffly and entirely unconvincingly.” Andrew Roberts in the @spectator

Every day that passes I empathise more and more with the insane man in the Jackie Weaver vid who goes READ THE STANDING ORDERS. READ THEM AND UNDERSTAND THEM.

SpaceX is considering several locations domestically and internationally to build the world’s most advanced spaceports!

It’s no secret that we intend to launch Starship a lot, targeting thousands of flights per year. That cadence will require the ability to launch from many different locations, so we are constantly exploring to find viable sites to expand Starship operations in the future, both domestically and internationally

SPACEX: A realtor named Jim Keaty of Keaty Real Estate published a rumor of possible SpaceX land acquisition in Louisiana. It states SpaceX may have acquired or is acquiring 136k acres (212 sq miles) of marshland south of Highway 82 towards the Gulf of America in Pecan Island and Freshwater City in Vermilion Parish of the Acadiana region. At the Southeast corner of the land near the Freshwater City boat launch is a plot ready to be converted for port operations and direct access to the Intercoastal Canal and the Gulf of America. Pecan Island is halfway between Boca Chica and Cape Canaveral, and has easy access to Cheniere LNG and Golden Pass LNG; both on the either side of the Louisiana and Texas border at Sabine Pass. This has not been confirmed by SpaceX of Elon. More SpaceX news in the ELON CHRON below!
