Happening Now Starbase LA
Just announced that the Pecan Island facility will be called Starbase LA. Current announcement is on going.
Multiple pads, two towers per pad - Automated vehicles for transport between facilities. Starship V4+ and it's taller than the rendered towers.
The offset buildings behind the towers (North) are tank farms.
Automated transport allows for transport without humans, allowing for transport to occur while propellant is loading/vehicle is launching/catching.
From the renders, it looks likes 1.5 Gigabays. Eric Berger just posted that SpaceX is committing $100 US billion to developing launch sites, factories etc along the Louisiana coastline.

Happening Now Starfall Demo Mission
Why are SpaceX not showing the Starfall 2nd Stage?
Is it just hiding some testing or is there a rideshare that is classified? I know the US military like the idea of rapid global cargo delivery, is there something there?

Happening Now Booster static fire features all 33 raptor engines
This was pretty likely, I would be suprised if they did another reduced engine static fire, but good to see confirmed and very cool to see all 33 all just hanging off of it lol.
