Humanoids, drones, quantum chips- the US is showing signs of renaissance, but who will work the factories of this New Industrial Age? Thanks to Arena Magazine I had an opportunity to explain how we're tackling this problem @Itemfarm in 3 states now, & soon the whole country. 1/

On-device AIs will be one of the most pro-freedom developments since the crew of the internet in an era where every piece of connected tech will eventually have a remote-kill switch. https://t.co/S7NADmNkxV

5 months ago I had this idea of opening a factory in USA… Today we received our very first size-able production deposit by customer! If you need me I’ll be in the back compression molding some silicone. Btw, we’re saving them ~$0.50/unit vs their CN factory! 🇺🇸

Starship continues to simultaneously be the fastest path to returning humans to the surface of the Moon and a core enabler of the Artemis program’s goal to establish a permanent, sustainable presence on the lunar surface → https://t.co/dGAZiB4rr3

One of the big goals by the end of the year is to get a 3rd person shot of drogue deployment at a 10km apogee. I'm trying to emulate one of the all-time best shots in rocketry at 10km, then later on the spaceshot. Source: https://t.co/PfOn5wawBe
🚨NEW 25 MINUTE VIDEO UPDATE ON PATREON🚨 Camera deployer is improving, the fiberglass nosecone mostly worked, and we got two N motors cast and ready to go 🚀 https://t.co/ZGOZ6F8xib

Starship really is that spacious... I've climbed through the mockup. Skylab comparison below. We can now establish a permanent human presence on the moon. Imagine seeing their lights from Earth each night... inspiring our spacefaring dreams. Ad Lunae 🌖 That's Latin for LFG!
Going for a spin in Skylab, 1973. 🚀 Starship is 36% wider, affording a 85% larger play area. The mockups of the living quarters at Starbase make me lean back… and dream of space exploration.
