SpaceX COO Gwynne Shotwell speaking about xAI's plans:
• xAI will build 1.2 gigawatts of power for its supercomputer now and for all future data centers
• Expanding the biggest Tesla Megapack system in the world — enough backup power for all of Memphis and more than Southaven needs (where the data center is)
• New water recycling plants to save about 4.7 billion gallons of water each year from the Memphis aquifer
• Thousands of new jobs mostly for people in Memphis, plus cheaper electricity for Americans
• Plans to put supercomputers in space (orbit) to use huge amounts of energy more efficiently

The future is bright. #kardashev
We will be a Type 1 civilization by 2035 and Type 2 by 2050. Currently at ~0.73 on the Kardashev Scale.
• Type I — Controls all the energy available on its home planet (roughly ~10¹⁶–10¹⁷ watts for Earth, including all incoming solar energy, geothermal, weather systems, etc.).
• Type II — Harnesses the full energy output of its star (about 4 × 10²⁶ watts for our Sun).

Booster 1058 is amazing! Besides having the iconic NASA worm logo, being the first SpaceX booster to fly humans is pretty incredible. There’s a reason our metal rocket models are B1058! - shop.everydayastronaut.com/p…
Falcon 9’s first stage has landed on the Just Read the Instructions droneship, completing the first 16th launch and landing of a booster

With Starship's first orbital attempt slated for tomorrow, good time for a refresher on @SpaceX's big picture.
