The Spaceport of Houston, Texas is at Ellington Air Field and houses over 10 billion in contract funds that are seemingly parked and waiting to be actually deployed? Houston, Texas is my hometown & synonymously known as "Space City". There are no rockets, no launch pads and its all primarily medical facilities + oil & gas industry with old dusty NASA facilities. This has to drastically change if America wants to win the next space race @NASAAdmin Would like to chat sometime and rally the new space companies coming online to direct their energy in supplementally supporting medium lift launch out of the Galveston County or South Side Houston area near I-45 south where it turns into HWY-87. My production site would be in the TGS Cedar Port Area. All the other launch companies seem to be gridlocked to their roadmaps and what that requires. I see a critical infrastructure and supply chain weak point that needs to desperately be engaged before China and Russia start expanding their Cosmodrome & Spaceports respectively. @WhiteHouse was very clear on the demand. Here I am, send me... This is not satire. Lets talk about this.

Congratulations to the @NASA workforce and our partner @SpaceX on another successful crewed launch to the International Space Station. Crew-13 is now aboard the station, Crew-12 will be home soon, and 2026 is far from over. Still ahead: more science missions, more flyovers, the MAX POWER exposition, cargo resupply, a possible Starliner-1 demonstration mission to the ISS, Artemis III rollout and tanking tests, and the first Moon Base launch before the year ends. We will never stop going. 🇺🇸

The flyovers will continue…

🚨 PEARLAND, TEXAS: A NEW MULTIMILLION-DOLLAR ISLAMIC HUB IS RISING. Shadow Creek Muslim Community Center (SMCC) says its existing facility was built for roughly 300 people but now serves more than 1,000. Now it is expanding onto 3.3 acres on Kirby Commons Drive with plans for: Expanded prayer halls. Playgrounds. Sports fields. Community gathering spaces. Youth and educational programming. The price tag? $4.5 MILLION. More than $2.5 MILLION has already been raised from more than 10,000 donors. But now look at who leads it. SMCC President and Imam Dr. Basem Hamid sits on the Islamic Society of Greater Houston's Fatwa Council and, according to our research, has authored formal Islamic legal rulings for the Assembly of Muslim Jurists of America (AMJA). UNDERSTAND WHAT THAT MEANS. A fatwa is an Islamic legal opinion interpreting Sharia, guidance about how Muslims should live and act according to Islamic law. AMJA is not simply another mosque organization. It is an organization of Islamic jurists that issues fatwas, answers questions about Islamic law and trains American imams and religious leaders in Islamic jurisprudence. So the man leading this massive Pearland expansion isn't merely raising money and constructing a mosque. He participates in institutions devoted to interpreting and applying Islamic law in America. And the institution he leads is expanding its reach beyond prayer. SMCC has partnered with the Shadow Creek High School Muslim Students Association, including for World Hijab Day, and publicly celebrates people converting to Islam. Hamid has also participated in local civic and interfaith efforts. We have even seen him appear with county and city officials, including during Brazoria County's recognition of Ramadan and Eid and in a meeting with Pearland's mayor and police chief. PUT THE WHOLE PICTURE TOGETHER: 3.3 ACRES. $4.5 MILLION. $2.5+ MILLION ALREADY RAISED. 10,000+ DONORS. PRAYER. EDUCATION. YOUTH. RECREATION. COMMUNITY INFRASTRUCTURE. AND A LEADER INVOLVED IN ISLAMIC JURISPRUDENCE. These large, multi-function Islamic campuses are appearing across Texas, creating permanent institutions designed to serve communities far beyond Friday prayer. And that makes the money a major unanswered question. WHO ARE THE BIGGEST DONORS? WHERE IS THE MONEY COMING FROM? IS ANY OF IT COMING FROM FOREIGN OR INSTITUTIONAL SOURCES? AND IS ANYONE IN TEXAS FOLLOWING IT? Pearland residents deserve to know exactly what is being built, who is financing it, who is leading it, and what institutions stand behind that leadership. THIS ISN'T JUST ANOTHER MOSQUE BUILDING. PEARLAND IS WATCHING A MULTIMILLION-DOLLAR ISLAMIC INSTITUTIONAL HUB TAKE SHAPE IN REAL TIME. FULL REPORT: rairfoundation.com/islamizat…

A new study from Anthropic suggests that while robots can do many of the tasks that humans do physically, fully replacing blue-collar work with robots will be too expensive for decades.

The Extravehicular Mobility Unit (EMU) suits used on the ISS were designed in the 1970s. Of the 18 flight-certified Primary Life Support System (PLSS) units built for the Shuttle era, only 11 remain in NASA's inventory, with just a few operational at any given time.

We are in the midst of a great power competition. That is exactly why @POTUS has aligned government and industry to secure American leadership in Super Intelligence and across our most critical domains, from under the sea to space. America will win the Second Space Race. Artemis III will launch in 2027, and Artemis IV will return American astronauts to the lunar surface in 2028. When they arrive, the foundations of a Moon Base and rovers will be waiting for them.

This week, we broke ground on Port Alpha. What starts here in Brownsville, Texas will become a new center for US shipbuilding, designed to build at the speed and scale America needs. And we're just getting started.

This is what happens to a rocket engine when the people who design it and the people who build it sit in the same room. SpaceX builds roughly 80% of Starship in-house because when you're solving a once-in-a-generation problem, design, manufacturing, and testing have to live in one loop. Most companies are not SpaceX. They don’t have suppliers in the room with them. And every new defense company can't rebuild American industry inside its own walls. @ConnorLoveCA and Collen Larson on why the suppliers, and the capital behind them, are the next defense-tech opportunity: a16z.news/p/the-case-for-the…
