STARSHIP V3 – THE BIGGEST UPGRADE YET
has left the build site for prelaunch testing. Flight 12 is about to change everything
Here’s what’s new:
- Raptor 3 engines: 51% more thrust, lighter, simpler design (33 on booster, 6 on Ship)
- Full stack ~1.5 m taller for hundreds more tons of propellant capacity
- 3 grid fins (instead of 4), 50% larger, with integrated catch pins
- Redesigned fuel transfer tube on Super Heavy
- Fully reusable hot-stage interstage
- Cleaner, denser heat shield design
- First launch from upgraded Pad 2
This is the version built for orbital flights, propellant transfer, and the road to Mars
“You either need to transition your child or you don’t get to keep your child.”
Attorney Erin Friday says California Child Protective Services can threaten parents who refuse to use their child’s preferred pronouns.
She told me she feared calling the police when her 13 year old daughter ran away because she worried CPS would take her child.
“My daughter, who was 13 years old, just starting high school, was secretly socially transitioned at school.”
“The school started to call my daughter by a male name, use male pronouns.”
“When I called the school and told them to stop, that next week Child Protective Services was at my door.”
“The next day, the police.”
“That was an immediate alert to me that the school wants to parent my child.”
“If I didn’t follow and call my daughter a boy, Child Protective Services may come and take my child away.”
“Parents in Southern California had lost custody of their children because they wouldn’t transition their daughter.”
“I already had a black mark, and a few months later my daughter ran away.”
“The normal thing for a parent to do is to ask law enforcement to help find your child… but I couldn’t make that phone call.”
“Because Child Protective Services can swoop in anytime and take my child.”
“It’s coercion at its highest level.”
“You don’t get to parent your child.”
“This is America. This is insane.”

For the first time, almost half of our country’s 30-year-old women are childless. In 1976, it was just 18 percent.
A low birth rate is the number one threat to Western Civilization. Society doesn’t survive without babies.

dostoevsky said if you gave people everything they wanted, cakes, entertainment and nothing to worry about except the continuation of the species, they’d start breaking things out of boredom
he was right
we got comfortable enough that people started manufacturing their own suffering and building identities around the invented problem, to the point where mutilation is seen as healthcare.
because a life without struggle felt like a life without meaning.
the idea of being broken gave them something to solve and someone to fight, an identity and a sense of community
but, once the problem gets “solved” nothing changes, obviously. the emptiness was there before the “problem” (it’s always there), and it’ll be there after. the cause of the problem is never fixed
these people never wanted to be fixed, they wanted to feel special
This ‘trans man’ is depressed because nobody notices her or makes a fuss over her ‘transness’.
‘We just want to live our lives’ means ‘give us constant validation and attention’
SpaceX shares the same goal as NASA of returning to the Moon with a permanent presence as expeditiously and safely as possible. We look forward to working with NASA to fly missions that demonstrate valuable progress towards establishing a permanent, sustainable presence on the lunar surface. Frequent human exploration flights help establish a sustainable presence for humans in space.
President Trump gave the world the Artemis Program, and NASA and our partners have the plan to deliver. We will standardize architecture where possible, add missions and accelerate flight rate, execute in an evolutionary way, and safely return American astronauts to the Moon,
🚨WOW: @TRobinsonNewEra reveals why he released his factual documentary knowing it meant jail — and why @elonmusk platforming him on @X made every second of solitary confinement worth it. 💪
"I went to jail and when I called home, my son was like 'Dad! Dad! Dad!' Elon Musk shared the film! and I was like YES"
These are the fruits of the Zombie Filibuster, highlighted in blue👇
The Senate’s unwavering devotion to the Zombie Filibuster—and to the light-duty legislative schedule it facilitates—is what’s hindering the progress of the SAVE America Act
Maintaining a light workweek for the convenience of senators isn’t a good reason not to do what it takes to pass a bill that 85% of Americans want
But make no mistake—that’s a big part of what we’re dealing with here
We don’t necessarily have to use the talking filibuster all of the time—or even most of the time—but we must be willing to use it when it’s necessary
With the SAVE America Act, it is very, very necessary

🇪🇸 In Spain, a Senegalese migrant who raped a 14-year-old girl will pay a fine instead of going to prison.
A 26-year-old migrant raped a girl he met on Instagram.
Despite the migrant admitting in court that he had raped her, he was just sentenced to 60 days of community service

Countries are passing laws requiring state ID in order to use social media ("protecting kids" is the pretext), but the real effect is to track everyone online .
It upsets some when I say it, but @TaylorLorenz has been one of the few reporting on and warning about this danger.
The social media ban for teenagers which is being fast-tracked across the Western world, is a Trojan horse for ending internet anonymity. That is the short of it and the long of it. Resist it at all costs.
Bannon was originally arrested on Guo’s boat. Almost all of his recent ventures, especially targeting Trump fans. were funded by Guo.
Guo was convicted of money laundering and fraud in 2024 and is awaiting sentencing.
Bannon is among the biggest sleaze balls in politics on either side.
If you think his Epstein stuff is bad, you should look into the shady stuff he’s done with CCP-linked criminal and fraudster Miles Guo.
FCC has formally accepted and is now seeking public comments on the major application from @SpaceX!
This application is seeking approval of launching a massive new constellation of up to 1 million satellites in low Earth orbit, which would function as orbital data centers.
The FCC is now welcoming comments on the application, with a comment deadline around early March 2026.
LFG!!! 🚀🚀🚀
The FCC welcomes and now seeks comment on the SpaceX application for Orbital Data Centers.
The proposed system would serve as a first step towards becoming a Kardashev II-level civilization and serve other purposes, according to the applicant.
Elon Musk on building a Tesla Terafab:
“Well, we make a little fab, and see what happens. Make our mistakes at a small scale, then make a big one.”
This is the way.
