“@DJSnM Orbital precession takes a long time. With Starship & Starlink V2.0, hopefully we can direct inject to target orbit.”
“@SpaceXMR 🤣”
“@itsALLrisky And that’s just for Earth! Mars has zero human population. We need a lot of people to become a multiplanet civilization.”
“@SpaceXMR Amazing”
“@WholeMarsBlog Computers are absurdly more accurate than humans. How long would it take for a human to render even one frame of a modern video game at low res? The computer will do high res at 120 frames per second. Not a contest.”
“@LabPadre Seriously, we’re getting eaten alive. Can’t get to Mars if the bugs eat us first.”
“@PPathole Most people have no idea Starship exists or how large this beast is! Body diameter (9m or 30 ft) is bigger than a 747 or A380. Starship thrust & mass are more than double Saturn V moon rocket. Making life multiplanetary means massive rockets. Got to be done.”
“@WholeMarsBlog @karpathy The feeling is mutual. But I can’t emphasize enough that we work with an amazing team. The credit is theirs.”
“@DrPhiltill Minimizing $/ton to the surface of Mars is the fundamental optimization”
“@WholeMarsBlog This will become very important over time”
“@AustinTeslaClub @RoschetzkyP @Tesla @TeslaNY @TeslaOwnersEBay @TeslaForThe_Win @jchybow @1stMarsColonist @EvaFoxU @heydave7 @gailalfa1 Also lasts much longer than normal roofs & is able to withstand hail & other medium-sized impacts”
“@SpacePadreIsle @SpaceX Haha”
“@TLPN_Official @SpaceX Depending on progress with Booster 4, we might try a 9 engine firing on Booster 3”
“Full test duration firing of 3 Raptors on Super Heavy Booster!”
“@grimnut @Tesla @WholeMarsBlog @DirtyTesla Haha”
“@WholeMarsBlog You don’t even need to touch the shifter in new S. Auto detect direction will come as an optional setting to all cars with FSD.”
“@JeffTutorials @TonyTesla4Life @WholeMarsBlog Yes”
“@TonyTesla4Life @WholeMarsBlog Wide beta maybe with FSD rev 10, definitely with rev 11”
“@ErcXspace @NASASpaceflight @SpaceX Some of these design trades are still open, but will be resolved soon”
“@ErcXspace @NASASpaceflight @SpaceX Very accurate!”
“@AustinTeslaClub @SpaceX @austinbarnard45 @PPathole @TeslaOwnersEBay @bluemoondance74 @teslaownersSV @JohnnaCrider1 @TeslaNY Absolutely!”
“@Erdayastronaut @SpaceX Probably Monday”
“@johnkrausphotos @SpaceX @PortCanaveral Version 3 of the SpaceX droneship. Team did great work! Will be epic to see the deep sea oil rigs converted to ocean spaceports for Starship.”
“@TeslaGong @ajtourville @PPathole @Adamklotz_ @AaronS5_ @crheller @SpaceX Some traffic could just go terminal -> satellite -> satellite -> terminal and never touch the regular Internet”
“@ajtourville @PPathole @Adamklotz_ @AaronS5_ @crheller @SpaceX If we can do this successfully, then anything developed for ground/undersea fiber is automatically better in orbit”
“@ajtourville @PPathole @Adamklotz_ @AaronS5_ @crheller @SpaceX Similar to fiber optic. We are trying to ride the terrestrial fiber optic laser technology forcing function, but modified for use in vacuum.”
“@PPathole @Adamklotz_ @AaronS5_ @crheller @SpaceX Laser links in orbit can reduce long-distance latency by as much as 50%, due to higher speed of light in vacuum & shorter path than undersea fiber”
“@Adamklotz_ @AaronS5_ @crheller @SpaceX More ground stations & less foolish packet routing will make the biggest differences. Looking at speed of light as ~300km per millisecond & satellite altitude of ~550km, average photon round-trip time is only ~10ms, so a lot of silly things have to happen to drive ping >20ms.”
“@crheller @SpaceX Glad it’s working! The sheer amount of work done by SpaceX engineering, production & launch teams is amazing. Ping should improve dramatically in coming months. We’re aiming for <20ms. Basically, you should be able to play competitive FPS games through Starlink.”
“@SamTwits @TeslaOwnersEBay @Kristennetten @RationalEtienne @EvaFoxU @JohnnaCrider1 @TeslaChillMode @CodingMark @Model3Owners @WholeMarsBlog @AustinTeslaClub Due to lack of banging, civilization might ended with a whimper! Adult diaper sales growth is much higher than baby diaper sales growth. https://t.co/eYk3nJNf6s https://www.reuters.com/article/us-diapers-adults-focus-idUSKBN1X10G0”
“@SamTwits @TeslaOwnersEBay @Kristennetten @RationalEtienne @EvaFoxU @JohnnaCrider1 @TeslaChillMode @CodingMark @Model3Owners @WholeMarsBlog @AustinTeslaClub This is a major problem! Between civilization ending with a bang or a whimper, this trend suggests the latter.”
“@doge_southern @SamTwits @TeslaOwnersEBay @Kristennetten @RationalEtienne @EvaFoxU @JohnnaCrider1 @TeslaChillMode @CodingMark @Model3Owners @WholeMarsBlog @AustinTeslaClub Next baby will be a girl”
“@doge_southern @SamTwits @TeslaOwnersEBay @Kristennetten @RationalEtienne @EvaFoxU @JohnnaCrider1 @TeslaChillMode @CodingMark @Model3Owners @WholeMarsBlog @AustinTeslaClub Me too!”
“@TeslaOwnersEBay @Kristennetten @RationalEtienne @EvaFoxU @JohnnaCrider1 @TeslaChillMode @CodingMark @Model3Owners @WholeMarsBlog @AustinTeslaClub I’m trying to set a good example! Population collapse is a much bigger problem than people realize and that’s just for Earth. Mars has a great need for people, seeing as population is currently zero. Humans are the custodians of other life on Earth. Let us bring life to Mars!”
“@YounieTyler @astro_g_dogg Booster is more than half cost of mission. Fairing is ~10%.”
“@astro_g_dogg Took more work to make F9 booster reuse cost-effective than went into recovering it in the first place. This is an important point. Things finally clicked into place with Block 5. My hat is off to everyone at SpaceX, NASA, Space Force, FAA & suppliers who helped make it happen.”
“@vincent13031925 Final decision made earlier this week on booster engine count. Will be 33 at ~230 (half million lbs) sea-level thrust. All engines on booster are same, apart from deleting gimbal & thrust vector actuators for outer 20.”
“@SciGuySpace Yes. It will be the highest output & most advanced rocket engine factory in the world.”
“@GokuAurelius @Erdayastronaut Roughly 800 to 1000 per year. That’s about what’s needed over ten years to create the fleet to build a self-sustaining city on Mars. City itself probably takes roughly 20 years, so hopefully it is built by ~2050.”
“@Erdayastronaut By “volume production”, I mean 2 to 4 engines per day. That’s super high volume for big rocket engines, but low volume by automotive standards.”
“@Erdayastronaut We are breaking ground soon on a second Raptor factory at SpaceX Texas test site. This will focus on volume production of Raptor 2, while California factory will make Raptor Vacuum & new, experimental designs.”
“Dragon returning from orbit”
“@skorusARK When even someone in California, home of Silicon Valley, needs Internet so bad that they bolt a Starlink dish to the hood of their car, you know there’s a serious unmet need! https://t.co/WLcEu4IrJw https://www.cnbc.com/2021/07/02/chp-tickets-driver-with-apparent-spacex-starlink-dish-on-hood.html”
“@astro_g_dogg @SpaceX Absolutely”
