“@WholeMarsBlog Then HW5, which has been renamed to AI5, in the second half of next year. The Tesla AI5 computer has ~10X the capability of HW4 computer and Tesla makes the whole software stack.”

“@FedorovMykhailo @Brian_J_Berger @SpaceX @SpaceXStarlink @Honda @ChampionGen @westinghouse @DuroMaxPower @W__Home Solar area will need to be higher with obscuration, but works better than one might think”

“@BillyM2k The only thing keeping the other orbital rocket programs alive is government protection or they’d be deader than a doornail and everyone knows it. But oh well … comme ci, comme ça.”

“@Astro_Elliott @Teslarati @ResidentSponge Aiming to have hot gas thrusters on booster for first orbital flight”

“@rustyrockets @bariweiss @shellenberger @mtaibbi 💯”

“@Jason Thanks Jason! Super proud to work with such great teams at SpaceX, Tesla, Neuralink and Boring!!”

“@FedorovMykhailo @Starlink You’re welcome”

“@NASASpaceflight It will look crazy tall with booster & fairing at 122m / 394 ft”

“Falcon 9 launches Iridium to orbit from Vandenberg Air Force Base https://t.co/7GTzx0a24d https://www.instagram.com/p/Bl8M-mNAN3f/?utm_source=ig_twitter_share&igshid=18erh862v2fe1”

“@MarcusHouse It will have high pressure air rocket thrusters behind a license plate that flips down. Bong, James Bong …”

“@arstechnica @SciGuySpace Russia has great rocket technology & talent. Much respect. Would encourage focus on reusability. Single-use rockets cannot be competitive any more than single-use aircraft.”

“@SawyerMerritt SpaceX launches competitor satellite systems without favor to its own satellites. Fair and square.”

“@ZainS180 @VikingRocket @WholeMarsBlog Cybertruck will reach far into a post-apocalyptic future & bring that technology to now”

“@GailAlfarATX @SpaceX @cnunezimages I subscribed!”

“@WholeMarsBlog @StuartZuckerma1 ~4.5X increase in params should be ready for wide release later this year. Super frugal use of memory bandwidth, caching exactly what is needed & squeezing microseconds out of everything are needed to maintain the frame rate. And the whole system needs to be retrained.”

“@FedorovMykhailo Starlink data usage growth in Ukraine https://t.co/c4IWNwKwLR”

“@WholeMarsBlog They will switch from claiming that Tesla self-driving is fake to Tesla self-driving is unfairly good”

“@flcnhvy Good grief! SpaceX is getting zero money for this. Starship is designed to carry people & cargo around Earth (also to moon & Mars). Vast majority of use will be civilian. It’s just like an airline in space. All airlines sometimes carry military cargo, but ~99% is civilian.”

“@AdamLowisz Other companies are not trying to extend consciousness to the stars, so they aim too low. Even if SpaceX fails in this grand goal, we still end up with vastly more capable rockets.”

“@mdcainjr @SpaceX @45thSpaceWing @NASA Great photo!”

“@WholeMarsBlog The new Plaid S is our best car ever. Will be first production car to achieve 0-60mph in under 2 secs & it has four doors & seats up to 7 people.”

“@arstechnica @SciGuySpace They are aiming too low. Only rockets that are fully & rapidly reusable will be competitive. Everything else will seem like a cloth biplane in the age of jets.”

“@SERobinsonJr Upper stage restart to raise perigee resulted in an engine RUD for reasons currently unknown. Team is reviewing data tonight to understand root cause. Starlink satellites were deployed, but the perigee may be too low for them to raise orbit. Will know more in a few hours.”

“@JaneidyEve @flcnhvy @Freiraum77 @SpaceX Aiming for 20km flight in Oct & orbit attempt shortly thereafter. Starship update will be on Sept 28th, anniversary of SpaceX reaching orbit. Starship Mk 1 will be fully assembled by that time.”

“@WholeMarsBlog The primary solution to a sustainable energy future is solar/wind with batteries for when sun doesn’t shine or wind doesn’t blow, interconnected with conventional high voltage lines. No unknown technology is needed! Hydro+geothermal+fission will also be non-trivial contributors.”

“@WholeMarsBlog Will be amazing to see it in operation! Biggest casting machine ever made. Will make rear body in a single piece, including crash rails.”

“RT @SawyerMerritt: The Pentagon said that @SpaceX has saved the government over $40B. One SLS launch costs billions. One SpaceX launch cost…”

“@WholeMarsBlog Vision became so good that radar actually reduced SNR, so radar was turned off. Humans drive with eyes & biological neural nets, so makes sense that cameras & silicon neural nets are only way to achieve generalized solution to self-driving.”

“@wholemars AI chips are needed for everything”

“Aiming to launch this weekend and (hopefully) land on our droneship. Ship landings needed for high velocity missions https://t.co/n6j0mExAqM https://x.com/spacex/status/686740078387843073”

“RT @teslaownersSV: SpaceX is making fully rapidly reusable rockets The holy grail of rocketry https://t.co/VgdOiRJSxl”

“@flcnhvy Starship steel decision came first. We were going to use titanium skins for Cybertruck, but cold-rolled 30X stainless is much stronger.”

“@WholeMarsBlog To be fair, investors are giving us significant credit for achieving self-driving, given that Tesla’s valuation/production is very high compared to other automakers”

“@Rainmaker1973 Used a lot in rocketry”

“@SawyerMerritt Cybertrucks get preferential parking, as they look much more futuristic than normal cars and are poetically aligned with the stainless steel of Starship”

“@BrennanChant @SpaceX Yeah. Active fairing half recovered though.”

“RT @teslaownersSV: “You’ve got to look at Elon Musk, at SpaceX, Tesla, Neuralink – the guy is our Einstein. I'd like to be helpful to him a…”

“@breezefps Starlink inter-satellite laser links should be operational by end of year. This will dramatically reduce global latency. Light travels ~40% faster in vacuum/air than in fiber optic cables & satellite path length is shorter (cables follow coastlines).”

“@WholeMarsBlog This is crazy, given that Starlink is available right now for a tiny fraction of this cost”

“@jessica_kirsh @SpaceX @TeslaAIBot @Tesla Cool :)”

“@flcnhvy @DJSnM Neuralink this month & Tesla next month, SpaceX probably October. We will have made a lot of progress by then. Might have a prototype booster hop done by then.”

“@PPathole @Teslarati @13ericralph31 If we are able to make life self-sustaining on Mars, we will have passed one of the greatest filters. That then sets us up to become interstellar. Earth is ~4.5B years old, but life is still not multiplanetary and it is extremely uncertain how much time is left to become so.”

“RT @SpaceX: Initial Super Heavy V3 and Starbase Pad 2 activation campaign complete, wrapping up several days of testing that loaded cryogen…”

“@WholeMarsBlog @FutureJurvetson @Tesla @karpathy Bot is not directly on the path of accelerating a sustainable energy future, but it aspirationally improves the probability that the future is good”

“@Erdayastronaut @Caspar_Stanley No, bottom static aero pushes engine section back, counteracting Starship’s low center of mass on reentry caused by the engine section. Aiming for 60 to 70 deg angle of attack during high heating portion of flight. Don’t want to reenter with engines blasted by plasma.”

“@PPathole @arstechnica @SciGuySpace If 2021 manifest is met, SpaceX will do ~75% of total Earth payload to orbit with Falcon. A single Starship is designed to do in a day what all rockets on Earth currently do in a year. Even so, ~1000 Starships will take ~20 years to build a self-sustaining city on Mars.”

“RT @WholeMarsBlog: The Tesla Takedown protests that aim to destroy Tesla in order to attack Musk were organized by Alex Winter, also known…”

“@nextspaceflight Payload reduction due to reusability of booster & fairing is <40% for F9 & recovery & refurb is <10%, so you’re roughly even with 2 flights, definitely ahead with 3”

“@Cmdr_Hadfield @SpaceX Thanks Chris! A fully and immediately reusable orbital heat shield, which (as you know) has never been made before, is the single toughest problem remaining. Being able to iterate with many ideas on many ships is key to solving this.”

“@YunTaTsai1 Yes. In about 6 or 7 years, there will be days where Starship launches more than 24 times in 24 hours.”
