“@nextspaceflight Stage Zero, which is everything needed to launch & catch the rocket, is at least as hard as the booster or ship”
“Ascent phase & satellites look good, but booster rocket had a RUD on droneship”
“12m rocket booster diameter, 17m spaceship diameter, 122 m stack height”
“@TimFernholz Efficiently reusable rockets are all that matter for making life multiplanetary & “space power”. Because their rockets are not reusable, it will become obvious over time that ULA is a complete waste of taxpayer money.”
“@bdcs Yup, it is super far. Moon is basically in our back yard relative to Mars.”
“@danielmarshal15 It can dig up almost anything.”
“@HSajwanization I hope others succeed too, but at least there is one rocket where success in making life multiplanetary is one of the possible outcomes”
“@TrungTPhan I came to the (obvious) conclusion that a radical improvement in rocket technology was needed to make life multiplanetary. That required creating a company, as success was not in the set of possible outcomes for the existing rocket companies.”
“Hexacopter drone vid of 1st F9 rocket booster takeoff & landing w flight design legs http://t.co/FhZX3afK1a http://youtu.be/0UjWqQPWmsY”
“@lrocket Making life multiplanetary requires a vastly higher standard. The “competition” is making the equivalent of expendable rowboats, instead of ocean-crossing ships, because their sights are set far too low.”
“@DJSnM Cool, but it’s better to use a rocket booster. Planes just can’t compete when it comes to orbital Spaceflight.”
“RT @ElonClipsX: Here's Elon Musk expressing his confidence in a fully and rapidly reusable rocket just after seeing the two boosters of Fal…”
“Rocket booster reentry, landing burn & leg deploy were good, but lost hull integrity right after splashdown (aka kaboom)”
“@sally_alcot @NASA If things go perfectly, all three rocket booster cores will come back and land. Sides back at the Cape, center on the droneship.”
“@FutureJurvetson @SciGuySpace @CNSAWatcher Interesting. Well, I think China is smart to aim for a fully reusable rocket. Other countries should also do so. It is the fundamental breakthrough needed to make life multiplanetary.”
“RT @TheCaptainEli: Elon Musk explains the “four R’s” that will make life multiplanetary: Rapidly Reusable Reliable Rockets. The breakthrou…”
“Falcon 9 rocket booster has delivered Dragon to its target orbit!”
“@amirmasoudabdol Down the road, they will not even be repainted between launches. Aiming to be able to relaunch same orbital rocket booster in <24 hours.”
“@caradocp Side booster rockets return to Cape Canaveral. Center lands on droneship.”
“The tower has caught the rocket!! https://t.co/CPXsHJBdUh”
“@Darkellysio @katlinegrey @Zvezdichko @SciGuySpace The swivel wing design was cool. This seems like a good idea: https://t.co/Aq81q9oMdq https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baikal_(rocket_booster)”
“Rocket booster relit twice (supersonic retro & landing), but spun up due to aero torque, so fuel centrifuged & we flamed out”
“We should send rockets not at each other, but rather to the stars https://t.co/h4apedUrsU”

“Just returned from Cave 3. Mini-sub is ready if needed. It is made of rocket parts & named Wild Boar after kids’ soccer team. Leaving here in case it may be useful in the future. Thailand is so beautiful. https://t.co/EHNh8ydaTT”

“First booster to reach 18 landings”
“I’ve had a top secret clearance for many years and have clearances that themselves are classified. That said, FAR too much information is made “classified”. If something is easily found online or patently obvious, it should NOT be classified. This impedes effective… [@TONYxTWO] This moment from the USAID House Hearing is 🔥🔥🔥!!! “@elonmusk does have a security clearance, he has a top secret security clearance, by God he makes the rockets for NASA! But the suggestion that he somehow can’t be trusted to dig in to how we’re spending our money is nothing… )”
“I had a similar experience. Covid itself was nothing. I got the OG Wuhan strain before vaccines were out. J&J vaccine hurt my arm, but otherwise nothing. But the mRNA booster hit extremely hard. Massive chest pain. Felt like I got hit by a truck. Almost went to hospital.… [@newstart_2024] JD Vance: "I took the vax, and, you know, I haven't been boosted or anything. But the the moment where I really started to get red pilled on the whole vaxx thing was the sickest that I have been in the last fifteen years by far was when I took the vaccine. And I, you know, I've… )”
“Sounds very fishy [@MarioNawfal] 🚨EX-USAID CHIEF SAMANTHA POWER’S NET WORTH SKYROCKETS—FROM $6.7M TO $30M ON A $180K SALARY Samantha Power, Biden’s ex-USAID chief, saw her wealth explode while earning just $180K per year. Where did the extra $23.3M come from? And all of this in just 3 years! USAID oversees… )”
“@ScottAdamsSays I had major side effects from my second booster shot. Felt like I was dying for several days. Hopefully, no permanent damage, but I dunno.”
“Giant rockets need giant rocket factories https://t.co/CcKQsojMst”
“Each rocket engine produces twice as much thrust as all 4 engines on a Boeing 747 and there are 33 of them”
“Indeed it will [@Rothmus] This is the federal income tax play all over again. It started in 1913 as a “class tax” on the rich, hitting less than 1% of the population with a 1% rate above $3,000. It expanded during WWII into a mass tax on most workers through withholding, skyrocketing rates, base”
