“@marstronauts @Erdayastronaut @JaneidyEve @13ericralph31 @SPEXcast @bluemoondance74 @Orion_Sword @Some1gee @SpaceX Vacuum nozzle engines are only used in (near) vacuum conditions. Sea level engines need to gimbal rapidly & at high angle for landing. Larger nozzle leaves less room to move & increases moment of inertia.”

“@nextspaceflight Side boosters, yes, but too much load through center core”
“@flcnhvy @Malcolmmarsman @marstronauts @Erdayastronaut @JaneidyEve @13ericralph31 @SPEXcast @bluemoondance74 @Orion_Sword @Some1gee @SpaceX First flights would have fewer, so as to risk less loss of hardware. Probably around 20.”

“@omcintyre @CrampedEyes @SpaceX @Tesla What are you talking about? You’re being incredibly rude & nonsensical.”
“@Pocketsdog @omcintyre @CrampedEyes @SpaceX @Tesla Stop trying to charm me. It won’t work. Ok, maybe a little 😊 Are you a real person or a bot?”

“All known rocket anomalies resolved. Will spend another day rechecking to be sure. Launch attempt tmrw eve w Wed as backup.”
“Rocket booster relit twice (supersonic retro & landing), but spun up due to aero torque, so fuel centrifuged & we flamed out”
“@Debapratim15 @curiousmind44 @SPEXcast @13ericralph31 @JaneidyEve @bluemoondance74 @Orion_Sword @Some1gee @Erdayastronaut @SpaceX @JeffBezos Yes”
“@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.”
“@wholemars Also true”
“RT @michaelnicollsx: Proud of the tremendous work by the @Starlink team in 2025! Read the progress report here https://t.co/ylneYiT3Uu https://starlink.com/progress”
“Design completed for bringing rocket back to launchpad using only thrusters. Yay. Wings r just dead weight in space.”
“@SmallPettingZoo @OGMarsLife @Rob_2628 Yeah”
“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”
“@leechy3 @kausthav_ray @SpaceX SX 300 & soon SX 500. Kind of a modern version of Inconel superalloys. High strength at temperature, extreme oxidation resistance. Needed for ~800 atmosphere, hot, oxygen-rich turbopump on Raptor rocket engine.”
“@SmallPettingZoo @Rob_2628 @Starlink Much easier than Lilith, actually, but the catch is that you only get one attempt for each set of stones and the stones are hard to get. Lilith has almost no penalty for as many attempts as you want.”

“@ErikPBrown1 @WholeMarsBlog Yeah”
“@omcintyre @CrampedEyes @SpaceX @Tesla @upulie Nanotech *is* bs imo. When you take something that has nothing to do w gender & make it about that, you devalue genuine gender issues.”
