“@Teslarati @13ericralph31 It’s a big deal that Dragon is reusable, with improved refurbishment efficiency with each passing flight! This is not the case for other orbital spacecraft. It means the spacefleet grows every time a new Dragon is made.”

15 years of Elon, fully searchable. The production archive uses Supabase as the source of truth, with 94,952 indexed tweets available in development as a full-archive fallback and a curated annotation layer for context, theory, and how major claims aged.
“@StianWalgermo @Tesla @WholeMarsBlog Wow!”
“@RocketLab360 Will be Falcon 9 size sooner or later”
“@astro_kimbrough @SpaceX Hello @Space_Station, great pic! (That’s me waving)”
“@thesheetztweetz SpaceX has sued to be *allowed* to compete, BO is suing to stop competition”
“@bluemoondance74 @NASASpaceflight @SpaceX “Comes in discreet packaging””
“@cnunezimages @SpaceX Well ya see we need to reach around the rocket to uhh …”
“@RenataKonkoly @Erdayastronaut And booster used to be 70m, but this required an awkward half barrel width of steel, so now it’s 69m”
“@Nick_Stevens_Gr Haha so true of rocket engine development”
“@WholeMarsBlog Very much a beta calculation. It will evolve over time to more accurately predict crash probability.”
“@thesheetztweetz Chris was an early employee of SpaceX, and made a significant contribution, but was not a cofounder”
“@SpaceXMR Maybe reality is a Rick & Morty episode”
“@RenataKonkoly @FelixSchlang @KathyLueders @SpaceX @BoeingSpace I didn’t think so at the time”
“@TeslaGong @inspiration4x Yeah, a little oven for heating food & Starlink wifi”
“@AustinTeslaClub To be precise, completely & immediately reusable orbital rockets are the fundamental breakthrough needed to make life multiplanetary”
“@teslaownersSV @TeslaGong @WholeMarsBlog Good”
“@TeslaGong @teslaownersSV @WholeMarsBlog No, has to be turned on by car owner”
“@Jason_Hess_ @WholeMarsBlog Yes”
“@teslaownersSV @WholeMarsBlog Tesla insurance calculator will show status in real-time & tell you what actions are needed to be rated “good driver””
“@BLKMDL3 @WholeMarsBlog 7 days after approval to log driving style”
“@WholeMarsBlog Remarkable how few people realize this capability exists. Many think it is 5 years away! With public beta rollout in coming weeks, awareness should improve dramatically.”
“@TheMarsSociety @NASA Some amount of cooperation would be good”
“@BryceSpaceTech Still basically nothing compared to the orbital mass flux needed for a base on moon or Mars”
“@SamTwits @Erdayastronaut @PPathole @vincent13031925 Long chain hydrocarbons, like kerosene, have excellent volumetric energy density, but what you really want for rockets is best way to bind hydrogen, which is CH4. Also, easy to make & store CH4+O2 from CO2+H2O, which are abundant on Mars.”
“@SpaceX ♥️ 🌍 🌎 🌏 ♥️”
“@Erdayastronaut @PPathole @vincent13031925 Fully reusable rockets want high T/W to minimize $/ton to orbit, because propellant cost actually matters”
“@WholeMarsBlog Automatically drive to most obvious location unless occupant says otherwise”
“@WatchersTank @SpaceX With that, Ship is basically begging for an extra 3 engines”
“@WatchersTank @SpaceX 33”
“@ignaciobelieres @oza_shiv @lrocket “Ignition!””
“@oza_shiv @lrocket Throw in some hydrogen & lithium for a real party”
“@oza_shiv @lrocket 🔥”
“@lrocket What propellant?”
“@Erdayastronaut @inspiration4x Yeah. We’d use our Ka parabolics or laser links for Dragon, Starship or other spacecraft as soon as they got above cloud level.”
“Please add your voice to the public comments. Support is greatly appreciated! Humanity’s future on the moon, Mars & beyond depends upon it. Thanks, Elon”
“@EliBurton_ @SpaceX @zubinanary @MyTeslaAdventur Truth is stranger than fiction”
“@lexfridman @SpaceX Missions like Inspiration4 help advance spaceflight to enable ultimately anyone to go to orbit & beyond”
“@richardbranson @SpaceX @inspiration4x Thanks Richard!”
“@JeffBezos @SpaceX Thank you”
“@thesheetztweetz @NASAKennedy @SpaceX It is hard to overstate criticality of reusable rockets. No less important than reusable aircraft, cars or bicycles. Essential for humanity to become a multiplanet species & backup the biosphere.”
“@dogeofficialceo @WholeMarsBlog @POTUS 🤣”
“@WholeMarsBlog @POTUS (Ahem)”
“@SirWoofOfDoge @WholeMarsBlog 🤣🤣”
“@BLKMDL3 @WholeMarsBlog Literally!”
“@Matt_Lowne Forward flaps will change a lot in upcoming versions of Starship – smaller & more leeward”
“@WholeMarsBlog This is written by Ford/UAW lobbyists, as they make their electric car in Mexico. Not obvious how this serves American taxpayers. https://t.co/FUUXARHlby https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2021-06-03/ford-production-of-electric-mustang-exceeds-gas-powered-pony-car”
“@OliOnOrbit Falcon 9 is technically a heavy lift rocket. If flown as an expendable, payload to orbit is similar to Delta IV Heavy (~25 tons to LEO). And Starship is ~10 times bigger.”
“@WholeMarsBlog To be fair, investors are giving us significant credit for achieving self-driving, given that Tesla’s valuation/production is very high compared to other automakers”
“@SpaceX These are V1.5 Starlinks with laser inter-satellite links, which are needed for high latitudes & mid ocean coverage”
“@4sanjaymathew @thesheetztweetz @esa @AschbacherJosef @SpaceX @SpireGlobal Exactly. Getting paid by the government to launch payloads at much lower prices than competitors is not “government support”.”
