“@Erdayastronaut @SpaceX @Blackmagic_News @andrutay @bstineman @SpacePadreIsle @considercosmos Standing down SN11 until probably Monday. Additional checkouts are needed. Doing our best to land & fully recover.”

“@SpaceXMR Heavy comes in more like a javelin. Similar to Falcon 9, but caught by the tower vs landing on legs.”
“@WholeMarsBlog I think there is a >0% chance Tesla could be the biggest company”
“@SpaceXMR 🤣🤣”
“Mars rover looking back https://t.co/oaFOCezRuU”
“@flcnhvy @arstechnica @SciGuySpace SpaceX will be landing Starships on Mars well before 2030. The really hard threshold is making Mars Base Alpha self-sustaining.”
“@WholeMarsBlog I once did a road trip across most of US with 2 adults & 5 kids in a Model S!”
“@arstechnica @SciGuySpace They are aiming too low. Only rockets that are fully & rapidly reusable will be competitive. Everything else will seem like a cloth biplane in the age of jets.”
“@WholeMarsBlog The new Plaid S is our best car ever. Will be first production car to achieve 0-60mph in under 2 secs & it has four doors & seats up to 7 people.”
“@TheMarsSociety SpaceX is developing rockets needed to make life multiplanetary — full & rapid reusability at large scale. Even if SpaceX fails in that goal, the rockets will still be most advanced on Earth. Starlink‘s purpose is to provide Internet to the least served & to pay for Mars.”
“@WholeMarsBlog Given significant architectural changes, including fundamental improvements to pure vision, there is limited value to testing 8.x. Hoping to upload V9.0 & button next month.”
“@SpacexVision An orbital propellant depot optimized for cryogenic storage probably makes sense long-term”
“@tobyliiiiiiiiii We will need launch tower for that. Hook height for the lift is ~140 m & both booster & ship need to be stabilized at stage separation joint.”
“@Erdayastronaut Yes, Booster 1 is a production pathfinder, figuring out how to build & transport 70 meter tall stage. Booster 2 will fly.”
“First Super Heavy Booster https://t.co/0K5QPsEbbt”
“@Rjdlandscapes @Erdayastronaut @SpaceX That’s our goal”
“@Erdayastronaut @SpaceX cgi irl”
“@SciGuySpace SpaceX did 2X rest of world payload to orbit last year, probably 3X to 4X this year”
“@____AMiR__ @SpaceX We will support as best we can”
“@SpaceX Fly my pretties, fly …”
“@WholeMarsBlog What has become absolutely clear is that the plethora of self-driving corner cases can only be solved with real-world optical intelligence. This is how humans designed the road system to work. Once you have that in silicon form, everything else is just icing on the cake.”
“Falcon flies for the 9th time tonight”
“@WholeMarsBlog It sees in all directions simultaneously”
“@ErcXspace @SpaceX @NASASpaceflight @Erdayastronaut Transparent aluminum (ALON) might be cool”
“@TrevorMahlmann @SpacePadreIsle Celebrating a year of great work by the SpaceX team!”
“@_Shameless_Plug @Falcon9Block5 @bluemoondance74 @arstechnica @SciGuySpace .@BoredElonMusk”
“@WholeMarsBlog Like @CyberpunkGame, but *with* self-driving haha”
“@PPathole @arstechnica @SciGuySpace If 2021 manifest is met, SpaceX will do ~75% of total Earth payload to orbit with Falcon. A single Starship is designed to do in a day what all rockets on Earth currently do in a year. Even so, ~1000 Starships will take ~20 years to build a self-sustaining city on Mars.”
“@arstechnica @SciGuySpace Falcon 9 is almost always at max capacity. When it has “spare” performance, it flies back to land, which costs much less than using a droneship. Our fundamental constraint is mass to orbit per unit time. Last year, SpaceX launched roughly double payload mass of rest of world.”
“@WholeMarsBlog @Herbert_Diess Fuel cells should be called fool sells! Such a silly choice for cars. Not great even for a rocket upper stage imo, but at least not absurd.”
“@tobyliiiiiiiiii @Erdayastronaut @NASASpaceflight Might just catch the ship with the launch tower, same as booster”
“@eurotechjunkie @Alpsoy66 @WholeMarsBlog We will ask the regulators”
“@WholeMarsBlog Build 8.3 of FSD should be done QA testing by end of next week, so that’s roughly when download button should show up”
“@WholeMarsBlog Assuming user approves warning & agrees to drive carefully, it will download latest QA-tested FSD “Beta” build as soon as car connects to wifi”
“@WholeMarsBlog … it until you make it”
“@thesheetztweetz Not connecting Tesla cars to Starlink, as our terminal is much too big. This is for aircraft, ships, large trucks & RVs.”
“@WholeMarsBlog @klwtts Haha true. Yet, still, so much dignity is ascribed to horses!”
“@WholeMarsBlog Beta V8.3 has literally ~1000 improvements. Will take time to QA internally before release probably in two or three weeks.”
“Cybervikings of Mars”
“@WholeMarsBlog Tesla AI, both hardware & software, is deeply underestimated”
“@Jason cgi irl @spacex”
“@PPathole @SpaceX SpaceX team is doing great work! One day, the true measure of success will be that Starship flights are commonplace.”
“@Erdayastronaut @SpaceX RIP SN10, honorable discharge”
“Starship SN10 landed in one piece!”
“5 mins to Starship test flight attempt”
“Starship launch tomorrow. Window opens at 9am.”
“@LabPadre @SpaceX You’re welcome”
“@Adamklotz_ @SpaceX Space”
“From thence to Mars, And hence the Stars.”
“@WholeMarsBlog Note, buying FSD will still be a better long-term deal than subscription”
