A busy week. I really appreciate US Consul General Brianna Powers and the Governor of Tamaulipas, Dr. Americo Villarreal Anaya, making the long - and bumpy - trek down Highway 4 to visit Starbase. We can work together to meet both of our important missions.

It was great to participate in the Texas A&M University Space Institute groundbreaking last Friday with Gwen Griffin, my Texas Space Commission chair, Texas Rep. Greg Bonnen, JSC Director Vanessa Wyche and many more Texas leaders. Another step towards Texas space innovation.

At Starbase we celebrate Thanksgiving with a great feast hosted by our culinary team. We hope you and yours have a similar delicious feast with great fellowship at your celebration. Happy Thanksgiving to you!

One way we show our thankfulness for the RGV is volunteering in the community. Last weekend our ImpactX volunteers worked at Big Heroes, a local non profit organization. Thank you for what you do, Big Heroes!

It takes a Village to enable commercial space! Enjoying the conversations and seeing new and familiar faces at the second annual Space Economy Summit.

The good pictures came out! Thanks again to the Economist Space Economy Summit for continuing the important conversations around the use of our global asset - space.

Super exciting to be at the Space Force Association Spacepower Conference. Spacepower that was what we were feeling with the energy in the building.

Thank you to the New Mexico State University Engineering College for giving me the Ingenieros Eminentes award. It was awesome to be there to celebrate the new set of NMSU problem solvers.

Thank you Chiquita for the special donation to Starbase and @foodbankRGV. A great way to celebrate our recent Starship flight test!

Thank you to the more than 60 elected representatives from Texas - including those who represent the residents of Starbase and the Rio Grande Valley - and many members of the community who submitted letters of support to the FAA for our increased Starship launch cadence!!

Last fall we had a tragic drowning of one of our folks on Boca Chica beach. We are grateful for the continued collaboration with Cameron County and its Beach Patrol to work with us to add signage and information that helps the safety of this beautiful beach’s users.

Along with launching Starships, one of our favorite Starbase activities is working with Sea Turtle Inc. to help rescue our local cold stunned turtles in this inclement weather.

One of the favorite things our Starbasers love to do is to save our turtles! We saved 59 cold stunned turtles in the last 3 days and delivered them to Sea Turtle Inc for loving care.

The danger with SpaceXers volunteering at the Isabel Y Garcia animal shelter is the high probability of the pet population growing at Starbase!

Thank you for the great partnership with Cameron County on the Andy Bowie Park Improvements! This will keep us all enjoying this South Padre Island jewel for many years!

Thank you to the UTRGV College of Engineering hosting me at their campus yesterday! Thank you for the great questions and your interest in what is going on - right here in the RGV - at Starbase.

Thank you to TSPE and ASCE for hosting me at the 3rd annual RGV E-Week Gala. I was super excited to hear about the 47 engineering scholarships these organizations supported this year! We need those engineers!

Once again our Starbase Ninja Turtle rescuers were out saving cold stunned turtles! I was able to transport the baby! A great partnership with Sea Turtle Inc!

Thank you to Helen Ramirez and the City of Brownsville for inviting me to their Employee Women’s Leadership Conference. It is so inspiring to see so many women that are so passionate about their missions.

The quarterly Boca Chica Beach clean up is one of our favorite Starbase community activities! Working as a team to make it better for the RGV community.
