Congrats Falcon team!
Kiko Dontchev@TurkeyBeaver· Aug 25, 2026This morning’s @SpaceX mission from pad 40 was the last planned Falcon 9 Starlink launch from Florida (and it launched on the fleet leading booster!!), marking the end of an era for these launches on the East Coast. From here on, Starlink missions out of Florida will fly on

BREAKING: Elon Musk's TeraFab has officially advanced into the agreement phase in Texas.
Texas has just published a fully signed tax agreement for SpaceX’s TeraFab, moving the massive chip and advanced-computing factory another major step closer to construction.
A fully executed 34-page agreement between the Governor’s Office, Anderson-Shiro CISD and TeraFab AI was published today.
The agreement:
• Describes TeraFab as a next-generation, vertically integrated semiconductor manufacturing and advanced-computing facility
• Lists a construction period from December 1, 2026, through December 31, 2028
• Establishes a 10-year tax-incentive period from 2029 through 2038
• Limits the qualifying property’s value for school district M&O taxes to zero during construction and 50% of market value during the incentive period
• Requires a $12.98 million performance bond
Another major step toward bringing TeraFab to life in Texas.

This is critical piece of infrastructure for StarMind. Hourly launches are far far more likely with this facility.
It’s an honest and believable answer to all the questions around “how can we handle that many launches?”
Sawyer Merritt@SawyerMerritt· Aug 25, 2026This is what @SpaceX's Starbase, Louisiana spaceport will look like.
It looks absolutely incredible. Multiple launch pads, and one beautiful location.

In terms of time, money, and penalties, I think building infrastructure for the common good is actually *more* illegal than murder.
Yes, in principle there's a pathway to permitting anything you want. In practice, it requires either an Act of Congress or a gigantic bribe or
Casey Handmer@CJHandmer· Aug 25, 2026@mattyglesias It's because building anything at all is illegal. We have multiple canal systems built nearly a century ago that leak or can't run anywhere near capacity, because fixing them would (normatively) take two guys and a bulldozer but (descriptively) consume 10 years and billions of

My guess is that ~1M Optimi plus ~1GW of solar will constitute the first Von Neumann Probe, a system capable of replicating itself entirely from local materials on any sufficiently large planet or moon. This would enable expansion of civilization throughout the galaxy and reaching K3.

As a Louisiana native (I was born and raised in and around Baton Rouge), I’m excited to share this post. Building off of what we have learned about Starship here in Starbase, Texas and about cadence at both the Cape and Vandenberg, this will be the first launch site ever purpose built to truly achieve the rate required for a spacefaring civilization.

“The American colonies would never have been pioneered if the ships that crossed the ocean hadn’t been reusable”
Starship is going to do the same for space... give humanity the capability to cross worlds, return, go again, and eventually build entire civilizations on other planets across the solar system
