“Will show Johnny Cash hover slam rocket video for the first time in about 15 mins. Test footage only 36 hrs old. #SXSW”
“@kpe @SpaceX @grierallen @natedapore Cool, thanks for letting us know. This is helpful for figuring out fairing reusability.”
“@BArtusio Three cable elevator on a crane. Wind force on Mars is low, so don't need to worry about being blown around.”
“@SmileSimplify @Vita_Berlin @c12olivas Exactly. Wouldn't let anyone invest more than a token amount in early rounds of SpaceX and Tesla, as the probability of failure was >90%.”
“Thrusters will also fire during reentry to adjust touchdown point. Next version will land w helicopter precision #Dragon”

“Making large scale rocket propulsion landing work well is a critical step towards a fully reusable Mars transport system”
“@williamwinters @rocketrepreneur pretty close”
