“@SciGuySpace These problems are fundamentally intertwined. Building many rockets allows for successive approximation. Progress in any given technology is simply # of iterations * progress between iterations.”
“@wsellers @WholeMarsBlog Yes, better ping than many cable Internet connections”
“@Erdayastronaut @SpaceX @Boca_Bill_R Bill Riley is an incredible engineer and great human being”

“@bad_at_life @WholeMarsBlog Diess is doing his best to move in the right direction, but he’s in a tough position with so many constituencies to please. No way to make everyone happy.”

“@EvaLovesDesign @SpaceX It will get longer and improve in performance in every way over the next 12 months”
“@GuntherEagleman @Starlink Being on @Starlink is like being on the ground”
“@Erdayastronaut @JHC2718 @MagnussonMani @vicvic21266 @flcnhvy @DJSnM @KevinKling12 @spaceXcentric Failure rate is actually both higher & lower than that, as the Falcon 9 design has changed almost completely several times. Currently flying version has no failures (may fate continue to be merciful), but older versions therefore have a higher failure rate.”
“@thomashawk That diagram is the Hohmann transfer orbit from Earth to Mars”
“RT @Starlink: Starlink providing reliable connectivity to Rural Fire Service command vehicles in New South Wales 🛰️🚒”
“@opensaysmani @WholeMarsBlog Ok :)”
“@TeslaOwnersEBay @WholeMarsBlog @romanhistory1 @HardcoreHistory A lot of functionality will happen all at once when we transition to the new software stack. Most likely, it will be releasable in 2 to 4 months. Then it’s a question of what functionality is proven safe enough to enable for owners.”
“RT @DimaZeniuk: One day humanity will be on Mars https://t.co/YIUmFBmoJy”
“@Malcolmmarsman Seems likely that we’ll be able to reuse fairings that soft-landed in the ocean. May not need net at all. Would still love to see the catch happen though ⚾️ 👍”

“@AdrianDittmann @Starlink 💫”
“@WholeMarsBlog To add to the confusion, the IRA credit *does* apply to a leased Model 3 long range, which is why the lease price is lower than a Model 3 Performance”
“@xJawz @RNaegels @joerogan @peterthiel @reidhoffman Not me, I’m gonna die right here in the USA. Or Mars. Just not on impact.”
“@michaelnicollsx @Starlink We have so many space lasers! Any this is <10% of final number.”
“@KlenderJoey @WholeMarsBlog When we were building Starbase, they were the only ones who would deliver all the way from Brownsville, so I would eat their chicken sandwich for many days on end. We had to order 100 at a time, which came to – believe it or not – $420.”
“@bamtheteslaman1 @cleantechnica Doesn’t seem to be any life in this solar system. Maybe under the ice of Europa or extremophile bacteria below the surface of Mars. Worth reading: https://t.co/ym0d53HgyS https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drake_equation”
“@Erdayastronaut Amazing work over many years by SpaceX engineering/production/launch teams to get (almost) there”
“@Malcolmmarsman @bluemoondance74 @SptlightVids @SpaceX Ok, thanks”
“@elonmusk Max performance numbers are for expendable launches. Subtract 30% to 40% for reusable booster payload.”
“@minusYCore @a_human_123 @WholeMarsBlog Block quantization can be used to achieve high precision for back propagation”

“@Malcolmmarsman @Kristennetten @flcnhvy @MoWo91 @mayemusk Schrödinger is a probability distribution in the shape of a cat”
“RT @Boca_Bill_R: As I like to say it’s the “human for scale” shot. It’s hard to convey how big Starship really is, but this helps.”
“@Malcolmmarsman @Erdayastronaut Prob wise for version 1 to have legs or we will frag a lot of launch pads”
“@thelogicbox @IanrossWins Mars is critical for the long-term survival of humanity and life on Earth as we know it”
“RT @XFreeze: Starship is how humanity becomes multi-planetary https://t.co/ZZOZVLrDZ8”
“@flcnhvy If we build as many Starships as Falcons, so ~100 vehicles & each does 100 tons to orbit, that’s a capacity of 10 million tons of payload to orbit per year”
“@WholeMarsBlog @romanhistory1 @HardcoreHistory Going well. Team is kicking ass & it’s an honor to work with them. Pretty much everything had to be rewritten, including our labeling software, so that it’s fundamentally “3D” at every step from training through inference.”

“@scrappydog yes. This seems instant from a human perspective, but it really a fast fire, not an explosion. Dragon would have been fine.”
“@FredericLambert In early 90s, I wrote a multitasker for PCs that spoofed the CPU & CD-ROM to act in parallel, so could read video continuously while player sprite moved smoothly. Required C++, assembly & direct flipping of CPU registers. That company’s name was Rocket Science. Fate loves irony.”
