These are all the parcels owned by ExxonMobil that I could find. The original report from @JimKeaty mentioned: "The footprint reportedly stretches from south of Highway 82 down to the Gulf of America." I've highlighted those in blue. It is unclear what could happen with the lots to the east of Highway 82. Again, these are all still rumors, nothing is confirmed.

Could this be the primary launch site for the StarThink constellation? I’ve highlighted a rough draft of what I could find so far for ExxonMobil’s current land holdings at Pecan Island in Louisiana. (~85,000 acres) I'm definitely still missing some parcels. Will update as soon as I find more data.

It is kind of interesting that when paired with a reusable S-IVB (which was investigated), you could have a 100% fully reusable Saturn IB or INT-20 The damning thing, of course, being that NASA simply did not want this. Even if it was feasible

Despite the fact that S-IB and S-IC splashdown reuse was very viable and probably very cheap, it seems like politically there’s no way it would’ve ever happened. NASA was dead set on shuttle Which is a shame because reusable Saturn V goes hard as hell.

J'ai cru à une blague, l'impression que l'on re-découvre la radio navigation et les cellules inertielle. Manque plus que le retour de la navigation astronomique 😁 Se qui me surprend, c'est ses mécanismes de redondanse ne soient pas en place.

There seems to be a misunderstanding going around. If SpaceX bought (or is planning to buy) the portion south of Highway 82, it would only be around 43k acres. ExxonMobil does own around 125k-136k acres of land in the area, but a large part of that is located north and east of Highway 82. Again, this is al speculation, and we don't even know for sure IF they have actually bought even a portion of the land. @elonmusk will the launch pads for the millions of AI satellites be located here?

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!

🚨 When ships lie… Kin’Trust63 tells the truth. In the middle of rising tensions in the Strait of Hormuz, GNSS spoofing isn’t just noise, it’s a real operational threat. Take a look at this case in the Persian Gulf: 🔴 Red = where the ship claims to be (AIS/GNSS signal, manipulated) 🟡 Yellow = where the ship actually is (geolocated independently by Kin'Trust63) And Kin’Trust63 doesn’t guess. 💡 It independently geolocates AIS emitters, no reliance on onboard GNSS 🎯 It flags spoofing in real time 📍 With a median error < 3 km Result? You see what’s actually happening, not what someone wants you to see. Because today, trusting AIS blindly is a risk. 👉 Verifying it is a necessity. For operators, insurers, and authorities, this means: • Identifying deceptive behaviors immediately • Reducing exposure to illicit activities • Strengthening decision-making with trusted data Curious to see how far deception can go, and how to stop it? 🔗 eu1.hubs.ly/H0tX1np0

New surveillance footage shows how an United Airlines Flight UA169 (Boeing 767 aircraft / Regd. N77066) struck a bakery truck on the New Jersey Turnpike while on approach to Newark Liberty International Airport. While the truck driver received minor injuries, the aircraft made a safe landing, and federal agencies are investigating the event as an accident.

🌖🇨🇳 Le rover de la mission lunaire chinoise Chang’e-7 s’est offert quelques sensations fortes… à plus de 300 m de hauteur ! L’objectif est de réaliser un étalonnage au sol du radar à pénétration lunaire, afin d’obtenir un signal d’écho de fond propre, sans réflexion.

🚀✨ May the 4th be with you… Mais que verrait-on vraiment à la vitesse de la lumière ? Dans Star Wars, les passagers des vaisseaux en hyperespace voient les étoiles se muer en traits lumineux. C’est spectaculaire à l’écran, mais la réalité serait encore plus étrange. Accroche-toi, Chewie, on entre en physique relativiste ! 🔹 À la vitesse de la lumière, la perception changerait à cause de l’effet Doppler. La lumière des étoiles à l’avant se comprimerait, tirant vers le bleuté. 🔹 Toutes les étoiles sembleraient se rassembler vers l’avant, comme aspirées par un entonnoir. Le champ de vision entier se concentrerait dans un cercle brillant devant le vaisseau. Il n’y aurait donc pas de traits, mais plutôt un tunnel de lumière éblouissant. 🔹 Selon la relativité restreinte d’Einstein, pour l’équipage à bord du vaisseau, le temps ralentirait par rapport à un observateur externe. L’univers entier paraîtrait contracté et figé dans la direction du mouvement. C’est la dilatation du ! 🔹 Finissons par décevoir les fans de science-fiction : atteindre véritablement la vitesse de la lumière demeure impossible pour tout objet doté de masse, comme l’a établi Einstein. Plus on s’en approche, plus l’énergie requise augmente de manière vertigineuse, tendant vers l’infini. Seuls les photons voyagent à cette vitesse, mais pour eux, le temps s’arrête complètement. 👉 C’est pourquoi les sauts en hyperespace de Star Wars relèvent purement de la fiction : ils contournent les lois physiques… Qu’importe, la saga a offert des images iconiques qui continuent de faire rêver des générations ! 🎥 : Utilisation de l’hyperespace dans Star Wars comparée à une simulation d’Alain Riazuelo d’un voyage proche de la vitesse de la lumière, édition XploraSpace.

Surprisingly, not a bad video from WSJ. It lists the difficulties and the conclusion is just: "It won't be easy, but there are possible solutions for all problems." I mean... Yeah I guess so lol. But a good video nonetheless for the normies. Show it to your friends and family if they have doubts or questions.
The Wall Street Journal@WSJ

SpaceX filed an application with the FCC petitioning to launch up to a million satellites as part of an “orbital data center.” It's become a big part of Elon Musk’s pitch to investors ahead of his massive SpaceX IPO. We asked an engineer to break down the biggest hurdles.

Ship 40 looks to have successfully conducted it's inuagural cryogenic proof test at Massey's! The vehicle was loaded, with an actuation of both aft flaps taking place early in the test (~4 seconds into the video). The vehicle undertook the rest of the test before being detanked!

Ship 40 has rolled out to the Massey's test site atop the new Block 3 cryo stand! It is expected to undergo multiple cryogenic proof tests over the coming days ahead of flight 13!!!
