“Dragon docks with @Space_Station in ~3 hours”
“@NASA @SpaceX @AstroBehnken @Astro_Doug @Space_Station Dragonship Endeavor”
“@engineers_feed Falcon/Dragon are designed to withstand multiple lightning strikes, but we don’t think it would be wise to take this risk”
“@Commercial_Crew @NASA @SpaceX Proceeding with countdown today, weather cancellation risk ~50%”
“@SpaceX @tristaneaton human kind”
“@SamTalksTesla @RationalEtienne @thirdrowtesla @wholemarslog @28delayslater @vincent13031925 @teslaownersSV Haha true”
“Dragon Dawn https://t.co/mz1EzU5GSO”
“@lexfridman @SpaceX @NASA Thanks Lex!”
“@Virgin_Orbit Sorry to hear that. Orbit is hard. Took us four attempts with Falcon 1.”
“@TheRealBuzz @SpaceX @NASA Thanks Buzz!”
“@NASA @SpaceX 🚀♥️”
“@jadescipioni @jimkwik His ideas sound sensible, but he was not my or SpaceX’s “brain coach”. I think he maybe gave a talk once.”
“@JonErlichman 5 years ago. We need to accelerate progress towards fully reusable rockets. Cost per ton to orbit needs to improve by >1000% from where Falcon is today for there to be a self-sustaining city on Mars.”
“@Erdayastronaut @NASA @SpaceX Mars needs to happen soon”
“@SpaceX Astronauts to orbit in 5 days!!”
“@Erdayastronaut @WhatsupFranks @SpaceX Sure”
“@cybrtrkguy @28delayslater @WhatsupFranks @SpaceX Jay *really* knows cars! Next-level.”
“@WhatsupFranks @SpaceX Mission control at the Cape”
“@Commercial_Crew @AstroBehnken @Astro_Doug Culmination of a truly incredible amount of work by @SpaceX & @NASA engineering, along with support of all International @Space_Station countries”
“@Erdayastronaut @SpaceX @NASA @Astro_Doug @AstroBehnken Astronauts to orbit next week!”
“@SciGuySpace Zach made a significant contribution to SpaceX & is a friend. I wish him well as he tries something new.”
“@flcnhvy SpaceX has 8000 employees in California, Washington, Texas & Florida. Operating this entire time, as we have national security exemption. Zero deaths or serious illnesses.”
“@SciGuySpace Said another way, Falcon Heavy has 2/3 thrust of Saturn V. Starship/Super Heavy will have double thrust of Saturn V.”
“@eBookBooster Zork with AI dungeon master”
“@thesheetztweetz @SpaceX @USCG @PortCanaveral Glad we could help”
“@raytech247 @flcnhvy @Erdayastronaut @ValkyrieBaron11 @NASASpaceflight Yes, mostly because you can use the ship every week going to the moon instead of every two years for Mars (best case)”
“@flcnhvy @Erdayastronaut @ValkyrieBaron11 @NASASpaceflight Would be about 10 times that cost for payload to surface of Mars”
“@flcnhvy @Erdayastronaut @ValkyrieBaron11 @NASASpaceflight Starship + Super Heavy propellant mass is 4800 tons (78% O2 & 22% CH4). I think we can get propellant cost down to ~$100/ton in volume, so ~$500k/flight. With high flight rate, probably below $1.5M fully burdened cost for 150 tons to orbit or ~$10/kg.”
“@Erdayastronaut @ValkyrieBaron11 @flcnhvy @NASASpaceflight A fully & rapidly reusable orbital rocket is fundamental to extending life beyond Earth. Propellant cost is roughly a 1000th of vehicle cost (unless using a foolish propellant). Same principle as cars, planes, boats, etc.”
“@flcnhvy @NASASpaceflight Yeah, although hydrogen is not a great choice for a booster engine”
“@PPathole @Erdayastronaut @farrier_nyker @GeetPurohit3 @YoavOffek Looks about right. Ice mining/refining on Mars & maximizing total system efficiency will be hard. CO2 is easy, as Mars atmosphere is mostly that. Also has good amount of N2, which is important for life.”
“@Erdayastronaut @farrier_nyker @GeetPurohit3 @YoavOffek Yes, converts CO2 & H2O to CH4 & O2. Perfect for Mars! https://t.co/WF9AGgee12 https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sabatier_reaction”
“@geekwire Not SpaceX”
“@PPathole @InSpaceXItrust @Space_Station @Tesla @SpaceX @Commercial_Crew 2008 was a super tough year on all levels”
“@thirdrowtesla Tesla & SpaceX are the top two destinations for engineers, because you can have the most fun creating kickass technology! That’s why.”
“@InSpaceXItrust @Space_Station @Tesla @SpaceX @Commercial_Crew That was the whole company back then. Grew organically from a simple mariachi party in El Segundo.”
“@bluemoondance74 @mycroft16 @LabPadre @SpaceX Hopefully so”
“Starship SN4 passed static fire”
“@Erdayastronaut @SciGuySpace What’s troubling is that this doesn’t get humanity a base on the moon or even a small crewed Mars mission”
“@biogirl09 @thirdrowtesla @Grimezsz Rocket Rd, Hawthorne CA 90250”
“@engineers_feed @SpaceX @Space_Station @NASA @Commercial_Crew @AstroBehnken @Astro_Doug Even Королёв would agree”
“@Teslarati We’re going to try landing Starship on the moon with enough propellant to return to Earth”
“@RationalEtienne @Alfzeta There will be no Mars if we let them take our freedom away”
“@kulpability Don’t need the cash. Devoting myself to Mars and Earth. Possession just weigh you down.”
“And the rocket's red glare, the bombs bursting in air”
“@SciGuySpace Starship is making good progress”
“@engineers_feed @SpaceX @NASA Great work by SpaceX team & very much appreciate faith in Starship by @NASA!”
“@arstechnica @SciGuySpace Haha true. Great headline. It’s quite hard to have rocket test articles not explode, as they so desperately want to!”
“@SpacePadreIsle @SpaceX Great work by SpaceX engineering!”
