🇺🇸 America’s First On-Site Air Separation Plant at Starbase Powers Rapidly Reusable Rockets 🇺🇸 SpaceX is building America’s first large-scale air separation plant across from Starbase launch pads. Last night I attended Starbase’s Fourth of July America 250 celebration, I could not help but notice this extraordinary facility right by the beach. The facility produces liquid oxygen and liquid nitrogen on site for Starship propellant and operations. Starship is the first fully reusable super heavy-lift rocket designed to carry people and cargo to the Moon, Mars, and beyond. A rapidly reusable vehicle of this size and flight rate cannot rely on hundreds of tanker trucks hauling propellant down a single two-lane highway for every launch. On-site production removes that bottleneck. The plant uses cryogenic air separation. Air is compressed, purified, and cooled to extremely low temperatures near minus 300 degrees Fahrenheit. It then flows into distillation columns inside a tall cold box structure. Oxygen and nitrogen separate based on their different boiling points and are liquefied. The liquids are piped a short distance to the launch site tank farm. This approach cuts long-distance truck deliveries that currently supply liquid oxygen. Fewer trucks reduce congestion and wear on the only road to Starbase. It also improves supply reliability and supports faster launch turnarounds. SpaceX designed the plant to help achieve the high launch cadence Starship requires. The project demonstrates American innovation in building the ground infrastructure needed for routine, rapidly reusable orbital spaceflight at scale. Construction is more than halfway complete as of June 2026. (Photos I took recently show the tall cold box structure, compressors, at the site right across from the pads.) This is the kind of American engineering that turns ambitious goals into operational reality.

It's insane that in 2026, you can pay for a 4K streaming plan, have a 4K capable PC, connected to a 4K display, with HDCP, Windows 11, latest drivers, latest browser, TPM, Secure Boot and all that other bullshit, but via a web browser, you will not get a 4K stream because of Widevine L1 DRM. I took out HBO Max recently to get the extra skins in Lego Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight and watch House of the Dragon Season 3 on. The stream appears to be capped to 720p, maybe 1080p but the Bitrate must be quite low if that's the case. You are unironically better off pirating. You will actually be able to watch on a PC in 4K. I will buy the 4K Blu-Ray set when the whole season is done.

Mamdani says he saved NYC’s budget by taxing the rich & socialism. In reality, ~5% came from taxing the rich. ~53% mostly by taking money from people who don’t live in NYC & future taxpayers. ~35% from…Wall Street Capitalists create success, socialists claim it as their own.

A 29-year-old North-African immigrant, charged with the rape of a 13-year-old girl in the Dutch city of Alkmaar north of Amsterdam, has offered to marry his victim to “make up for the rape.” …Because who wouldn’t want to marry their rapist? When will people understand that raping children and forcing them into marriage at the age of 13 is incompatible with Western culture? Death penalty for migrant rapist is the only right answer here.

Key observation by Steven: “If Turkey wanted to become a member of NATO now instead of in 1952, it would not meet the criteria on democracy, rule of law, and human rights.”

Shame on @SecGenNATO for being such a sycophant when it comes to Erdogan. And shame on all US and European officials who have been silent in the face of Turkey’s continued assault on democracy, human rights, and the rule of law.

I also think Labour will try to ban X within the next 6–12 months, dressing it up as a fight against “extremism” or “harmful content.” Why? Because they can't handle the level of scrutiny they're facing from millions of ordinary Britons exposing the failures of this government in real time. The more people speak freely, the more uncomfortable those in power become.

UK gov are forcibly taking over YouTube. If this passes, everyone in the UK will need to pay for a TV License for owning a PC.

so the government is planning MANDATORY CHANGES to how content is discovered on YouTube in the UK. - they want YouTube to prioritise mainstream broadcasters like BBC, ITV and Channel 4 over user created content with a 'prominence regime' this is absolutely insane and is going

To prevent a civil war. Millions must go.

The Fabian Society has done immense damage to Britain.

Islam is not a race you fat fucking pigs. Fuck Islam. Fuck the pedophile warlord Mohammed. We don’t have blasphemy laws in the Uk. And come and try and arrest me. I fucking dare you. Cunt pigs.

BREAKING: A Sudanese asylum seeker has stabbed 3 people in Clermont-Ferrand, France. He also tried to stab a policeman in the neck but was then shot by the officers. A slew of attacks by Sudanese migrants has recently rocked Europe, including an attempted beheading in Belfast More and more Sudanese asylum seekers are expected in to start making their way to Europe as the civil war in that country is has entered its 4th year and many internal refugees are losing hope of being able to return to their homes anytime soon. Large parts of the country under control of the Muslim Brotherhood, which is closely allied with the Sudanese Armes Forces under General Al-Burhan. The general is fighting the civil war against how former ally Hemedti and his Rapid Support Forces. Islamist propaganda and calls for extremist violence have surged in Muslim Brotherhood-controlled areas during the civil war, with frequent calls for “unbelievers” to have their throats cut.

"We have cameras everywhere in that town and you cannot get a breath of fresh air without us knowing" When police are admitting this out loud, it's time to admit the cage isn’t coming, we're already inside it.
