Thought it might be fun to capture some of the visitors to SpaceX. Couple of recent examples:

Starbase is extremely impressive. There is a lot of bemoaning that we culturally can't build physical things anymore, but this is China Speed and then some. Rows of engines, hangars full of structures, 24/7 shifts -- it is a sight to behold.

It's no wonder SpaceX has these kinds of visitors. Elon Musk is a great PR-Manager, which lead SpaceX to become a part of a  pop-culture

Flying in the skies above #BocaChica this morning with @AstroJaws, dreaming of a future when ships full of humans may leave from this beach for #Mars. (Look closely and you can see a Starship)

Thierry Breton: Probably fair to say that he is the most influential player in setting EU industrial policy. He's french and France always had a 'dirigiste' industrial policy (with notable successes like nuclear power, high speed trains, Airbus).  At EU level, the need for such a policy is not universally accepted.

During our recent visit to @SpaceX in Boca Chica, Texas with @SenBillNelson, Steve and I had the chance to hear an update on Starship, the human landing system that will carry the first woman to the Moon on #Artemis III.

She's the Deputy associate administrator for Exploration Systems Development Mission Directorate

Thursday afternoon, I visited @SpaceX in Hawthorne, CA. Since I’m not an engineer, always find visits a huge learning experience. Takeaway - important growth in 2023.
