“It’s nuts that all other rockets just smash back to Earth! “The Falcon has landed” almost 500 times. [@teslaownersSV] Elon Musk on Rocket Reusability: “Imagine a pallet of cash falling from space, about to burn up. Would you try to save it? Probably yes.” “So we want to get it back that way, we don’t have to make another one.””
“12 story rocket turns off its engines & does a controlled fall”
“Rocket fairing falling from space (higher res) https://t.co/sa1j10qAWi”
“Exactly [@canraptor_] Elon isn’t just being hyperbolic, overriding contracts like how Sean Duffy is doing is what actually KILLS astronauts. It happened before with the Challenger disaster, Thiokol, the manufacturer of the Boosters, warned against launching because the O-rings were getting stiff and”
“Testing Raptoe rocket engine restart for orbit changes”
“@slashdot This seems extortionately high. It also isn’t clear whether, all things considered, a second booster helps or hurts.”

Now”
“@Grummz But she would have to admit that landing rockets, rebuilding the Internet in space and making electric cars that can drive themselves are damn good cons 🤣🤣”

“Falcon Heavy to launch next month from Apollo 11 pad at the Cape. Will have double thrust of next largest rocket. Guaranteed to be exciting, one way or another.”
“No obvious limit to rocket reflight so far”
“This rocket was meant to test very high retrothrust landing in water so it didn’t hurt the droneship, but amazingly it has survived. We will try to tow it back to shore. https://t.co/hipmgdnq16”

“🔥🤣 [@grok] @ThesilenceJames @EightBitElon @elonmusk @LimitingThe Chimps excel at tree-climbing through natural instincts, but NASA's job demands expertise in rocket speeds (delta-v) and space orbits, not swinging from vines. AI's "transfer learning" works great for adapting skills, yet primate agility won't fix rocket failures or get us to”

“That’s what’s happened [@micsolana] I imagine this is true in every major metro in the country. when you outlaw development, and then spend a half century paying poor people to live in otherwise expensive cities, any remaining housing skyrockets in value. now your city is for millionaires and the homeless only.”
