We are witnessing Islamists right now burning Paris because Europe has committed cultural suicide. We should look to France as foreshadowing for what America faces if we don’t stop this here. We are fighting to save our nation.

Let hardware do the talking 🇺🇸🦾
Isaiah Taylor - making nuclear reactors
@isaiah_p_taylorOct 11
So few are interested in The Real Thing. Before Valar Atomics, there were many nuclear startups who had dreams of reactors, designs for reactors, licenses for reactors, and LOIs for reactors. None of those things interest us at Valar Atomics. Hardware is The Real Thing.

We announced an agreement to acquire a nationwide low-band spectrum license portfolio that will pave the way for @Starlink to become a major mobile carrier in the US. With this new spectrum and our Gen2 constellation, Starlink Mobile can ensure Americans have access to high-speed mobile broadband no matter where they are → spacex.com/updates#starlink-…
