vincent(@SPCX100T):News: SpaceX $SPCX is adding aluminum furnaces at its Bastrop Starlink factory. TCEQ Permit 182733: technical review done, draft permit issued, preliminary approval because it meets all regulations. This supports on-site melting for high-pressure die casting of Starlink terminal parts. Continues the “raw aluminum in → finished kits out” vertical integration at a site already running ~15k kits/day and scaling further. Not primary smelting. Separate from the turbine foundry.
