“Rocket launch good, satellite in geo transfer orbit. Still so damn intense. Looking fwd to it feeling normal one day.”
“While the rocket does look rather tall & tippy, a stable landing is no problem with proper throttle response https://t.co/B4Y6D4dpsc https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0UjWqQPWmsY&feature=youtu.be”
“Cause of hard rocket landing confirmed as due to slower than expected throttle valve response. Next attempt in 2 months.”
“High resolution, color corrected, slow motion rocket landing video https://t.co/UTF3Y4xGU3 https://youtu.be/BhMSzC1crr0”
“Looks like Falcon landed fine, but excess lateral velocity caused it to tip over post landing http://t.co/eJWzN6KSJa”
“Ascent successful. Dragon enroute to Space Station. Rocket landed on droneship, but too hard for survival.”
“Odds of rocket landing successfully today are still less than 50%. The 80% figure by end of year is only bcs many launches ahead.”
“To land a rocket, Just Read the Instructions http://t.co/FJAM72zNWo http://www.planetary.org/blogs/jason-davis/2015/20150410-just-read-instructions.html”

“The rumor that I'm building a spaceship to get back to my home planet Mars is totally untrue”
“Rocket soft landed in the ocean within 10m of target & nicely vertical! High probability of good droneship landing in non-stormy weather.”
“Mega storm preventing droneship from remaining on station, so rocket will try to land on water. Survival probability <1%.”
“Dragon splashdown off the California coast http://t.co/4Bvfmei8I3”
“Launch postponed to tomorrow due to high winds at the Cape, but Dragon still inbound from orbit in 90 mins”
“Rocket reentry will be much tougher this time around due to deep space mission. Almost 2X force and 4X heat. Plenty of hydraulic fluid tho.”
“If u saw @TheSimpsons and wonder why @SpaceX doesn't use an electric rocket to reach orbit, it is cuz that is impossible”
“Next rocket landing on drone ship in 2 to 3 weeks w way more hydraulic fluid. At least it shd explode for a diff reason.”
“@ID_AA_Carmack Rocket hits hard at ~45 deg angle, smashing legs and engine section http://t.co/PnzHHluJfG”
“@FormulaSAE Contact Steve Davis at Hyperloop@spacex.com”
“Rocket made it to drone spaceport ship, but landed hard. Close, but no cigar this time. Bodes well for the future tho.”
“Ascent phase good. Dragon deployed to Space Station rendezvous orbit.”
“Background on our attempt to land Falcon 9 rocket on a station-keeping drone ship in the Atlantic http://t.co/yklReEpZO3 http://spacex.com/news/2014/12/16/x-marks-spot-falcon-9-attempts-ocean-platform-landing”
“Drone spaceport ship heads to its hold position in the Atlantic to prepare for a rocket landing http://t.co/kXYHGVKTfE”
“Ask me anything at 9pm Florida time (focused on tomorrow's 6am rocket launch) http://t.co/DvCbw4kTJy http://reddit.com/r/IAmA”
“Falcon/Dragon launch punted to early Jan. Need time to review all systems thoroughly again.”
“@ID_AA_Carmack That works for Dragon, but hard to do for something long like Falcon”
“Base is 300 ft by 100 ft, with wings that extend width to 170 ft. Will allow refuel & rocket flyback in future.”
“Rumors about canceling Falcon wing doors are false. At Tesla, the production car will always be better than the show car.”
“SpaceX is still in the early stages of developing advanced micro-satellites operating in large formations. Announcement in 2 to 3 months.”
“Infrared video of Falcon rocket reentry captured by @NASA tracking cameras http://t.co/GQLCFLlrUC http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=_UFjK_CFKgA&feature=youtu.be”
“This is the Crew Dragon spacecraft design that we unveiled earlier this year: http://t.co/gmpcAuTgQf http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yEQrmDoIRO8”
“Deeply honored and appreciative of the trust that @NASA has placed in @SpaceX for the future of human spaceflight”
“Launch in ~1.5 hours if weather clears. Lightning tower struck earlier, but no effect on rocket or satellite http://t.co/AWdx9LsFZt”
“Three engine F9R Dev1 vehicle auto-terminated during test flight. No injuries or near injuries. Rockets are tricky …”
“Long exposure of the Falcon 9 predawn launch from Cape Canaveral http://t.co/jQHxIEhuJb”

“Detailed review of rocket telemetry needed to tell if due to initial splashdown or subsequent tip over and body slam”
“Rocket booster reentry, landing burn & leg deploy were good, but lost hull integrity right after splashdown (aka kaboom)”
“Flight 10 of Falcon 9 was good. All six ORBCOMM satellites deployed on target.”
“Test flight of Falcon 9-R with deployable grid fins for better hypersonic thru subsonic control http://t.co/6ZXpvPao2u http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=DgLBIdVg3EM&feature=youtu.be”

“@QuantumG When we launch I want to know that SpaceX has done everything possible to keep the astronauts safe. Only a few more years to go.”
“@QuantumG Dragon V1.1 doesn't have a launch escape system. Probably comparable reliability to Shuttle, but we need to do better.”
“@RichardGarriott Just the air in Dragon. Technically, if a few humans had stowed aboard Dragon on the last flight, they would've been ok.”
“Reason I believe this is likely is that Correll first tried to work at SpaceX, but we turned him down. Our competitor, it seems, did not.”
“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”
