“Great work by the SpaceX team! [@TurkeyBeaver] Congrats to the entire @SpaceX team for achieving 165 launches🚀 ! While we originally set out for 170, we actually revised the manifest to 165 this summer based on business and manifest needs. We have two more Falcon launches to go in 2025 for extra credit for a total of 1-6-7… https://x.com/i/web/status/2001424468141297900”

“I just FaceTimed the @framonauts via @Starlink! [@satofishi] Flight Day 4 I woke up early and watched the launch of Starlink Group 11-13 on YouTube. Shortly after, SpaceX contacted us and informed us that we would be flying over Mongolia during the second stage deorbit burn. We opened the cupola and tried to observe the event, but had no”
“Mars probably had liquid oceans a long time ago, before it cooled. Now, there are vast fields of ice covered by red dust. If we warm up the planet, the oceans will return and the atmosphere will densify, making it possible to extend life to Mars. [@MarioNawfal] 🚨 MARS HAD AN OCEAN? CHINESE ROVER DIGS UP NEW EVIDENCE Turns out, Mars might have been beachfront property billions of years ago. China’s Zhurong rover has uncovered 10-35 meter-thick sloping deposits beneath Utopia Planitia, a vast plain in Mars’ northern lowlands,… )”

“@EdKrassen My concern was more the outrageous demand that people *must* take the vaccine and multiple boosters to do anything at all. That was messed up. Until the Supreme Court invalidated Biden’s exec order, SpaceX and many other companies would have been forced to fire anyone who…”
“11 years ago [@MarioNawfal] ELON: WE’LL NEED TERABIT-LEVEL COMMUNICATION BETWEEN EARTH AND MARS “We're going to need terabit-level communication between Earth and Mars, which necessarily means that you want to have a tight beam, like a laser communication system or something like that with relay… )”

Our Demo-2 mission was the first time American astronauts launched on an American rocket from the U.S. in nearly 10 years.”
“Preparing for next Starship flight! This time, I think we have ~50% probability of reaching orbital velocity, however even getting to stage separation would be a win.”

“🚀 for all mankind 🚀 https://t.co/riHsNMQqcP [@astro_reid] @elonmusk Thank you, @elonmusk - the four of us glimpsed the red hues of Mars far in the distance as the sun slipped behind the Moon and there was zero doubt in our minds that the creative genius of our greatest minds will have us there very soon.

“Reducing government waste is definitely not rocket science”
“Why is Starship made of stainless steel? This article from 5 years ago explains the reasons. Worth noting that the ship would have failed on reentry if made of aluminum or carbon fiber, as they can’t take the heat. https://t.co/QVAtv74quq https://www.popularmechanics.com/space/rockets/a25953663/elon-musk-spacex-bfr-stainless-steel/”

“Video Killed the Radio Star [@PeterDiamandis] The human brain processes visual information 60,000x faster than text. Humans are visual processors, not text processors. Images hit the brain instantly. Words take work. That's why a single SpaceX launch video communicates more than a thousand-word essay—and why your slide decks”
“Looking forward to serving India with @Starlink! [@JM_Scindia] A pleasure to meet @LaurenDreyer, Vice President of @Starlink Business Operations (SpaceX) and the senior leadership team to discuss advancing satellite-based last-mile access across India.
