SpaceX is shifting all Starship design work to Boca Chica
Capitalism in space: In a change in plans, SpaceX is no longer having two competitng Starship design teams working in both Florida and Boca Chica, and is now in the process of moving all hardware to Boca Chica.
Though the article is mostly about SpaceX’s fleet of ships, it notes this change in Starship development plans.
On Christmas Eve 1968 three Americans became the first humans to visit another world. What they did to celebrate was unexpected and profound, and will be remembered throughout all human history. Genesis: the Story of Apollo 8, Robert Zimmerman's classic history of humanity's first journey to another world, tells that story, and it is now available as both an ebook and an audiobook, both with a foreword by Valerie Anders and a new introduction by Robert Zimmerman.
The ebook is available everywhere for $5.99 (before discount) at amazon, or direct from my ebook publisher, ebookit. If you buy it from ebookit you don't support the big tech companies and the author gets a bigger cut much sooner.
The audiobook is also available at all these vendors, and is also free with a 30-day trial membership to Audible.
"Not simply about one mission, [Genesis] is also the history of America's quest for the moon... Zimmerman has done a masterful job of tying disparate events together into a solid account of one of America's greatest human triumphs."--San Antonio Express-News

As an aside here is a link I got over at Transterrestrial Mussings regarding Elon’s thoughts on the future of Starship.

All I can say is “gulp”.
The other day I was reviewing Lockheed’s status on their quest for hydrogen fusion. It occurred to me that if Lockheed does and SpaceX does and they get together no power in the ‘verse could stop them.

Those pesky belters and their torchships. :)
I’m afraid that with all those people and material being put on Mars that it may tip over or capsize…

The plans for all those trips made me think of this congressman and his comment on Guam
