No greater heroes than those who serve our country. Honoring their experience with authenticity was essential to the making of #HeartOfTheBeast. In theatres September 25. paramnt.us/HOTBtix

Forty voices. Forty lives. A story of courage that will never be forgotten.
Standing 93 feet tall at Flight 93 National Memorial, the Tower of Voices holds 40 wind chimes, each representing one of the passengers and crew members of United Airlines Flight 93.
When the wind moves across the Pennsylvania landscape, their voices continue to ring. We remember their courage. We remember their sacrifice. We remember the 40 lives lost 25 years ago.
Never forget 🙏
WATCH - Drone show recreates Twin Towers over New York City in tribute to 9/11 victims bit.ly/3SQVZm5
2,977 lights rose over New York Harbor in a stunning drone show, with one light for every life lost on Sept. 11.
The powerful public art installation recreates the Twin Towers at full architectural scale, illuminating the skyline in a tribute to the victims, their families, and first responders.
Common sense 🇺🇸
ELON MUSK: “My political views are very centrist. They’re not far right. Frankly, calling them far right is an insult to history and an insult to many people. It is an outrageous falsehood. It’s completely absurd. I have literally stated my position, and I’ve been very clear about this: there need to be secure borders.
If there’s an influx of immigrants, then they need to be people who agree with Western ideals and Western values. If there is long-term growth of people who do not, or in some cases are adamantly opposed to Western values, you are setting yourself up for civil war. This is obvious. A child can see this, but this is not a right wing view. I'm simply stating reality.”
I’m so glad this is being done!
An important next step is making it autonomous.
This is the electric plane Elon dreamed of!
Anders Forslund of Heart Aerospace joins @Jason to show off their electric plane, which used up just $5 worth of power for a full 20-minute trip.
Could this change short-haul flights? What locations would these flights best be used at?
Extending consciousness beyond Earth, ultimately to the stars, is a fundamentally good goal
SpaceX’s road to making humanity multiplanetary is really incredible when you see the milestones together
- 2008 → Falcon 1 becomes the first privately developed liquid-fueled rocket to reach orbit

- 2012 → Dragon becomes the first private spacecraft to visit the ISS
- 2015 → Falcon 9 lands on land for the first time
- 2016 → First Falcon 9 droneship landing
- 2017 → First Falcon 9 booster reflight
- 2018 → Falcon Heavy launches for the first time
- 2020 → SpaceX returns human spaceflight to America
- 2021 → Starship SN15 completes a successful high-altitude flight and landing
- 2021 → Inspiration4 becomes the first all-civilian crew to orbit
- 2022 → Starship and Super Heavy become a full stack
- 2023 → First integrated Starship flight
- 2024 → Super Heavy gets caught by the launch tower for the first time
- 2025 → A Super Heavy booster flies for a second time

18 years of relentless iteration.
Falcon 1 → Falcon 9 → Dragon → Falcon Heavy → Starship.
Each milestone solved another piece of the puzzle
And the destination has stayed the same from the beginning:
Make life multiplanetary

Look up tonight.
The Moon will pass through Earth's shadow during a deep partial lunar eclipse visible from much of North and South America and parts of Europe and Africa. As the eclipse deepens, the Moon will appear tinged with shades of red and copper.
ALT A nearly total partial lunar eclipse fills the center of the frame against a dark sky. The Moon is bathed in shades of red, orange, and copper as Earth's shadow covers most of its surface, leaving only a thin, bright crescent illuminated along its left edge. Dark lunar maria and lighter highlands remain visible through the reddish glow. The image was captured during the November 19, 2021, partial eclipse of the full Beaver Moon, the longest partial lunar eclipse in centuries. Credit: NASA

"Today, we honor the 13 brave American HEROES who were tragically killed five years ago by evil Jihadi terrorists in Kabul, Afghanistan. This catastrophe was a result of Sleepy Joe Biden’s totally botched Withdrawal from the Country, which left our wonderful Servicemen and women defenseless, and allowed the Taliban to free thousands of bloodthirsty terrorists and criminals held at Bagram Prison." - President Donald J. Trump🇺🇸
"What became clear very, very quickly was the acts that you performed at Abbey Gate were exactly what our highest awards exist to recognize."
Senior Advisor to the Secretary of War Sean Parnell reflects on the heroism at Abbey Gate as Secretary Pete Hegseth upgrades valor awards for Marines who served during the chaotic Afghanistan withdrawal.
"These are a permanent testament to the fact that when America asked for volunteers to step into a nightmare, you all went with zero hesitation."
"You've earned the utmost respect of the greatest nation on the face of the planet, and we hope that you wear these awards with pride."

Five years ago today, 13 American service members were killed at Abbey Gate in Afghanistan. It was one of the darkest days in the history of our country — and it happened because of weak American leadership.
We will NEVER FORGET these heroes.
