“@ajtourville The main reason for coming in belly first is due to the subsonic orientation being a natural outcome of the center of mass and center of pressure being where they are needed for Starship to survive hypersonic heating by maintaining a ~70 degree angle of attack. Can’t come in…”
“@SawyerMerritt Starlink team is working hard to ensure an amazing Internet connectivity experience for Hawaiian Airlines flyers. Should be profound and feel you’re on the ground, not even in an airplane.”
“RT @interesting_aIl: SpaceX successfully caught a rocket booster mid-air for the second time in history https://t.co/MnYlrprbB4”
“@WholeMarsBlog @wintonARK Waitlist is too long. Will enable again as we ramp production.”
“@TeslaOwnersEBay @GailAlfarATX @Tesla @EvaFoxU @Proxima06_Aiai @DBurkland @lewins_ian @Lstad78 @1stMarsColonist @JosephVVallace @dubbleotrippleo No, I meant wide release to high safety score beta participants. Going to all beta participants is expected later this year.”
“RT @waitbutwhy: Journalists not doing journalism anymore presents a golden opportunity for random YouTubers to skyrocket into relevance by…”

“@CdeCiencia First flight for Falcon Heavy Block 5 means there is some risk of failure between 5% to 10% imo. Many good design improvements from Falcon Heavy demo, but the changes are unproven.”
“@Erdayastronaut A booster catch attempt is highly likely this year. For the ship, we need to be sure that it will survive reentry and retain aero control authority, so that means at least 2 successes landing at a precise point in the ocean.”
“@WholeMarsBlog Tesla is waiting for EU approval (sigh)”
“@Austen A surprising number of people don’t understand what a profound level unlock full reusability is. It is the holy grail of rocketry and the fundamental breakthrough needed to make life multiplanetary. Starship is designed for full & rapid reusability – launch, land, refill…”
“RT @teslaownersSV: Starship isn’t using AI to land. Code written by engineers. 🤯🤯🤯 It’ll take us to Mars https://t.co/DhgAS2FwKd”
“@planet4589 @VirtuallyNathan Lot of new technology in Starlink V2, so we’re experiencing some issues, as expected. Some sats will be deorbited, others will be tested thoroughly before raising altitude above Space Station.”
“@BRO_SPI_Airport @SpacePadreIsle @SpaceX Sounds good, we will send one over”
“@SciGuySpace Yes, detailed review of the first orbital Starship, explaining the pros & cons of each design decision”
“@abhiyogi Slight chance of Starship flight to Mars crewed by Optimus in Nov/Dec next year. A lot needs to go right for that. More likely, first flight without humans in ~3.5 years, next flight ~5.5 years with humans. Mars city self-sustaining in 20 to 30 years.”
“RT @WholeMarsBlog: *SBF steals money from people and donates it to Democrats* Democrats: Thank you Mr. Billionaire! *Silicon Valley start…”
“@BBCWorld Moreover, based on extensive cave video review & discussion with several divers who know journey, SpaceX engineering is absolutely certain that mini-sub can do entire journey & demonstrate at any time.”
“@wholemars I should have said “insanely biased””
“@WholeMarsBlog @moskov Moskovitz actually said that?”
“@BillyM2k Starlink will be available on most aircraft soon, depending on whether the airline orders it”
“@tetsuoai Starlink V3 launches with Starship will carry 25 to 50 times more bandwidth than a Falcon flight with V2, depending on how you count it. Starship will also launch 100+ times more per year than Falcon (mostly AI sats). Probably ~20k comms satellites per year at ~2 tons/sat. High”
“@WholeMarsBlog It will be available in perforated rolls”
“@Universe_SkyArt @TwitterSupport I just sent a note to Twitter to clarify that posting SpaceX videos is fine by us and we paid for rights to Bowie song for the Falcon Heavy launch”
“@MarcusHouseGame @bcart03 @nextspaceflight @NASASpaceflight Starship legs are one of the hardest problems. Externally mounted legs require shielding, which adds mass. Wider stance adds mass. Shock absorbers add mass. That said, we need better legs.”
“RT @Starlink: Devastating to hear of the earthquake’s toll on Thailand and Myanmar. The SpaceX team is prepared to provide Starlink kits to…”
“@WholeMarsBlog We’re aiming for a significant improvement for owners outside the US around March, depending on regulatory approvals”
“@Erdayastronaut @SpaceX @Caspar_Stanley @IzanRamos2002 Enabling engines to take the heat without shrouds might save over 10 tons, all things considered. Shrouds are also a risk in that fuel leaks could be contained by the shroud, forming a MOX bomb. Booster is purging all 33 engine shrouds in flight to prevent this.”
“@DimaZeniuk @billhuang688 @woonomic @VaibhavSisinty I should, but that would take a lot of time away from Tesla, SpaceX & other work. Walter Isaacson is writing a book.”
“@SirineAti Starship is in a different league. Orders of magnitude more mass to orbit than Falcon. Necessary for creating a self-sustaining city on Mars.”
“@rschmied @spideycyp_155 @SawyerMerritt @SpaceX Internet fiber, phone lines, cell towers & other space-based comms in war areas have been destroyed. Starlink is all that’s left. For now. https://t.co/CdjbOWgziz https://www.wired.com/story/viasat-internet-hack-ukraine-russia/amp”
“@Some1gg Transpiration cooling will be added wherever we see erosion of the shield. Starship needs to be ready to fly again immediately after landing. Zero refurbishment.”
“@SpaceXUpdates Those are the new design made of titanium. Doesn’t need heat shielding or even paint.”
“@shanaka86 Starlink satellite maneuvering is done with heuristics (conventional software), not AI”
“Support & advice from @NASA, @FAA, @AFPAA & others much appreciated. Please email any recordings of the event to report@spacex.com.”
“@ID_AA_Carmack A long chain of modified future generation Starlink satellites between 1 and 1.5 AU would do it”
“@SpacePadreIsle @SpaceX Maybe near BRO airport, since that serves both communities?”
“@WR4NYGov My estimate of the probability of success at the beginning of both Tesla and SpaceX was less than 10%. The reason people telling me we would probably fail didn’t dissuade me was that I already agreed with them!”

“@WholeMarsBlog The amount of testing time it takes to figure out if the new AI is better than the existing AI as measured by miles between interventions is the limiting factor on progress. The better FSD gets the longer it takes to find interventions.”
“@itshakeemz @DimaZeniuk @SpaceX @SirineAti @captainarve @andst7 @WholeMarsBlog @EvasTeslaSPlaid @GailAlfarATX @JaneidyEve @TeslaAIBot @1stMarsColonist I hesitate to say this, but it might be too pointy”

“@TiffanyFong_ @WholeMarsBlog It is entertaining! Selling the rights to this soap opera could help repay some of the victims.”
“RT @WholeMarsBlog: Elon: “What if we had the rocket land back on Earth so we could use it again?” Experts: “That’s impossible” — Elon…”
“@ICannot_Enough @ZainRaz4 @vincent13031925 @JonErlichman Yes, although I didn’t expect the stock to rise so much so soon. The reason for the stock options is that they’re needed to help pay for humanity to get to Mars in 10 to 20 years.”
“@WholeMarsBlog Smoothing out crazy end of quarter delivery wave to reduce expedite costs & relieve stress on Tesla team. Aiming for steadier deliveries intra-quarter.”
“@JohnnaCrider1 @WholeMarsBlog If Tesla owners are “conspiracy theorists”, then it would be fair to call them “advertising salespeople masquerading as truthtellers”. If that’s an unfair criticism, a simple rebuttal would be to show their articles per fatality for all automakers. Tesla is ~0.02% of deaths …”
“@Rainmaker1973 @SpaceX All the lights are on”
“@RationalEtienne @LaurenRow5 @EvaFoxU @JohnnaCrider1 @Kristennetten @vincent13031925 @28delayslater @Sofiaan @hamids @InsideEVs Tesla is first American car company to achieve sustained volume production in past ~100 years. Hardest, most painful thing I’ve ever been through, including getting Falcon to orbit.”
