Meanwhile, Kamala still has a very bad hangover.

Donald Trump is a remarkable man.

I drove all the way down to Brownsville to see Starbase back in May while my wife and I were on a long roadtrip. A complete wild hair “why not?” detour.

It’s incredible what SpaceX has built way out there on the tidal flats. There’s only one road that goes out there, and that runs through the site, and it’s a public highway, so unless there’s a road closure anyone can drive out there, even right up to the launch site. It’s very cool.

The activity out there never stops, and they are constantly expanding, but Elon has said he wants to maintain as much public access as possible. One thing’s for sure, you will never get that kind of up close access at Kennedy Space Center.

This is just a fun and relaxing trip for Trump. He has been working his ass off for the last year and not to speak of the same in court. Take a day off Donald. I know you will be working hard from now to the inauguration.

Elon’s got it scheduled to take off at 4:20 PM. Wonder why?

Trump might want to use the launch for a Kennedy-esc moment, we intend to put an American on Mars before the decade is out, we choose to do so not because it’s easy we choose to do because it’s hard. It could be a great way to spark an American resurgence.

Elon’s accommodations will be no match for Mar-a-Lago. I believe that Musk sold off all his residential properties in California and has been living in a small manufactured home in Texas, but it seems like he’s taken a liking to the Trump Lifestyle. House hunting in Palm Beach, Elon?

Watching live. Occainsonal semi-snarky Eastern Daylight/Central Standard Time/Countdown Time/DST/etc about the displayed countdown times.

Interesting that the commentators are emphasizing the more aggressive flight profile and higher heat loads.

Many congratulations to all.
