“@TeslaAnswers @flcnhvy @Erdayastronaut @DiscoverMag We’re going to try. Side boosters come back to Cape, center core lands on droneship. Latter will be coming in v hot & fast, so dicey.”

“@flcnhvy @NASASpaceflight Yeah, although hydrogen is not a great choice for a booster engine”
“@Booster_Buddies @NASASpaceflight My button-twiddling makes no sense at all 🤣🤣”
“@fermatslibrary That’s basically how rocket control theory works 🚀”
“V likely AF official Correll was told by ULA/Rocketdyne that a rich VP job was his if he gave them a sole source contract”
“@annerajb @lrocket @Alexis_wwww @katlinegrey Printers are too small. Also, high pressure, high efficiency engines need copper cooling channels with an inco/steel jacket. Can’t print yet.”
“@eBookBooster Zork with AI dungeon master”
“@lrocket 💯”
“Detailed review of rocket telemetry needed to tell if due to initial splashdown or subsequent tip over and body slam”
“@rdstrick777 @Erdayastronaut @StevenHardison @lrocket 1”
“@lrocket @esherifftv Fond memories”
“@johnkrausphotos Incoming rocket & fairing probably visible, but landing itself is over the horizon”
“RT @amXFreeze: Grok Code rocketed to #3 on Kilo Code’s monthly leaderboard, in under 4 days since release https://t.co/YyCzFEIYpT”
“RT @mymatrixplug: Booster 19 rolled out of production last night and made a midnight voyage down to Massey's for cryogenic testing. https:/…”
“@doug_ellison @dsfpspacefl1ght Both exhaust velocity (Isp) and mass ratio drive the rocket equation. Also thrust/mass matters a lot for Oberth effect. Delta upper stage Isp is good, but mass ratio and thrust are not.”
“@Erdayastronaut @DJSnM @torybruno @lrocket 🚀 propellant grade kerosene (basically, jet fuel) & liquid oxygen are close, but H2 & O2 are not”
“@DavideDF_ @doug_ellison @dsfpspacefl1ght Side boosters landing on droneships & center expended is only ~10% performance penalty vs fully expended. Cost is only slightly higher than an expended F9, so around $95M.”
“@VoltzCoreAudio I don't know what make you think that's a rocket. It's completely covered in a tarpaulin...”
“Just stayed at the Rocket (yes!) Motel near Mt Rushmore. Sudden blizzard making road trip tricky http://t.co/TRIPC7dKwK”
“Testing separation of F9 rocket fairing (can hold a city bus) in world's largest vacuum chamber http://t.co/2zkLi4ON0s”
“@SteelSully @annerajb @kickber @ExploreSpaceKSC Yeah, that sounds ideal! I love the KSC rocket garden. Spent many days there looking at rocket design details.”
“220 ft tall mobile crane to carry the rocket around in the vertical http://t.co/hgXnpEh8yU”
“@lrocket @foundersfund Congrats!”
“@newscientist @XHNews Congratulations to China on the successful launch of the LM 5 heavy lift rocket!”
“Was at Vandenberg today going over the upcoming next gen F9 rocket launch. Some tense days ahead http://t.co/bfXnFt7alm”
“@PaigeANjax -340 F in this case. Deep cryo increases density and amplifies rocket performance. First time anyone has gone this low for O2.”
“RT @patriottakes: @elonmusk According to this, his nickname is “ass rocket.” https://t.co/t8aFer7hJH”
“@lrocket 😑”
“@joe_mckirdy @13ericralph31 @JHC2718 @StephanieeeeeJ 100mT to 125mT for true useful load to useful orbit (eg Starlink mission), including propellant reserves. 150mT for reference payload compared to other rockets. This is in fully reusable config. About double in fully expendable config, which is hopefully never.”
“@booster_10 True”
“@nickynaptime Rocket mass ratio is about the same for aluminum-lithium vs 301 stainless full hard at cryo, but latter costs way less, is tougher & doesn’t even need paint!”
“@koruki @SawyerMerritt @Tesla Rockets too”
“Rocket engines are healthy, but cleaning turbopump gas generators will take another day. Aiming for Mon eve launch.”
“Now back to work. Intense months ahead as we ramp production of rockets and cars.”
“@lrocket 💯”
“@nextspaceflight Side boosters, yes, but too much load through center core”
“All known rocket anomalies resolved. Will spend another day rechecking to be sure. Launch attempt tmrw eve w Wed as backup.”
“@DJSnM They will, but the hydraulic system is closed loop, so no fluid lost. They do need more power & energy, but rocket has plenty of that.”
“@andygen21 @Teslarati Yes, I postponed publishing in order to present the updated interplanetary rocket & spaceship design in Adelaide. Will be on the final day.”
“Design completed for bringing rocket back to launchpad using only thrusters. Yay. Wings r just dead weight in space.”
“Completed rocket static fire with all systems green this time. Launch window opens in 10 days http://t.co/rKVBLIk6yq http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VX4LH0wn9Rs&feature=youtu.be”
“Falcon going to orbit as seen from ocean https://t.co/Dclhju24ya”
“Falcon 9 delivered Dragon to its target orbit. All good on the rocket.”
“@minhazLive This was an older version booster, so no recovery attempted”
“1st long duration firing of the new generation Falcon 9 rocket ~1.5 million pounds of vac thrust http://t.co/iGZadNVF7w http://youtu.be/CgIghRD4-ao”
“@KeithMansfield @Erdayastronaut @sivanithu @tobyliiiiiiiiii @cabral_psyd @imatsb @thesheetztweetz @SciGuySpace @Some1gee @RocketLab @Peter_J_Beck That’s for sure! 😅”

“If launch aborts, we will bring the rocket down for engine inspection, so probably a few days before next attempt”
