“@SpaceX We’re updating satellite software to run the ion thrusters at their equivalent of warp 9. Unlike a Star Trek episode, this will probably not work, but it’s worth a shot. The satellite thrusters need to raise orbit faster than atmospheric drag pulls them down or they burn up.”
“@SpaceX @Starlink Congrats to the @SpaceX team on launch 60 of 2023!”
“View of SpaceX Dragon 1 berthed with @Space_Station in the last Cupola opening. Dragon 2 (Crew Dragon) launching soon.”
“@Gfilche @realGeorgeHotz @WholeMarsBlog World-class software aces are joining Twitter”
“@MightyTesla @SamTalksTesla @ElonsWorld @Nikola_Truth @WholeMarsBlog @RenataKonkoly @stevenmarkryan @vincent13031925 @HyperChangeTV @TeslaPodcast Hell of a ride!”
“Hold-down firing of @SpaceX Falcon 9 at Vandenberg Air Force completed. All systems are go for launch next week.”
“@WorldAndScience Nuclear thermal rocket for fast transit around solar system would be a great area of research for @NASA”
“@SecDuffy The safety of air travel is a non-partisan matter. SpaceX engineers will help make air travel safer.”
“@Globe_Mars @CNBC We must safeguard the future of life by transitioning to sustainable energy on Earth & becoming multiplanetary via Mars. It’s not clear how much time we have to do these things, but sooner is definitely better.”
“@WholeMarsBlog Without billions of miles of training data, solving self-driving is impossible”
“To be clear, I mean solar+batteries, not just solar. The entire Starlink constellation of over 7000 satellites, which go through Earth shadow many times per day, are just powered by solar+batteries. And Earth is just a giant satellite.”
“@MKBHD I’m not. Will use SpaceX cold gas thruster system with ultra high pressure air in a composite over-wrapped pressure vessel in place of the 2 rear seats.”
“@aaronburnett The Moon would establish a foothold beyond Earth quickly, to protect life against risk of a natural or manmade disaster on Earth. We would continue to launch directly from Earth to Mars while possible, rather than Moon to Mars, as fuel is relatively scarce on the Moon.”
“Considering trying to bring upper stage back on Falcon Heavy demo flight for full reusability. Odds of success low, but maybe worth a shot.”
“@WholeMarsBlog HW4 software will lag HW3 by at least another six months, as our focus needs to be on getting FSD on HW3 working super well and provided internationally.”
“@LinkN01 He got the fuel impact calculation wrong by a factor of 10 and refuses to look either at physics-based calculations or measured fuel usage for 737s that fly Starlink. Fire this imbecile.”
“@BryceSpaceTech @SpaceX SpaceX now delivering about twice as much payload to orbit as rest of world combined”
“@PPathole @Tesla @SpaceX High pain threshold”
“@WholeMarsBlog Initial production will be 4 motor variant, with independent, ultra fast response torque control of each wheel”
“@DanaEn803 @arstechnica @SciGuySpace The super heavy booster can be used more frequently than the ship, as it returns in about ~6 minutes and can theoretically be ready for reflght in an hour. The ship needs to complete at least one orbit, but often several to have the ground track line back up with the launch…”
“@WholeMarsBlog This variant of the Model Y doesn’t start production in the US until the end of next year. Might not ever, given the advent of self-driving in America.”
“@VinceWaelti @Starlink Sounds like we’re messing up in multiple ways here and not enabling a way to clear things up. Please post screenshot of error message.”
“@vm_one1 @waEMD @SpaceX We will probably IPO Starlink, but only several years in the future when revenue growth is smooth & predictable. Public market does *not* like erratic cash flow haha. I’m a huge fan of small retail investors. Will make sure they get top priority. You can hold me to it.”
“RT @elonmusk: @AdamLowisz I literally challenged Putin to one on one physical combat over Ukraine and my Starlink system is the backbone of…”
“@WholeMarsBlog We need to predict what pedestrians will do based on their behavior, including limb angle & direction of sight. FSD currently sees all pedestrians as cuboids, so is overly cautious. Also, diffusion seems to be more compute-efficient than transformers for vision.”
“Static fire data looks good so far. This is first launch of Falcon Heavy Block 5, so we’re being extra cautious. Launch date might move.”
“First draft animation of the Falcon Heavy three core launch. FH is twice the thrust of the next… https://t.co/vgZxF6LRMR https://www.instagram.com/p/BXXiVWFgphb/”
“@Teslarati @RDAnglePhoto First orbital stack of Starship should be ready for flight in a few weeks, pending only regulatory approval”
“@VP @POTUS @NASA @SpaceX Thank you on behalf of the many people of SpaceX”
“12th mission of our Dragon robotic space freighter in support of the @NASA @Space_Station https://t.co/vlGbGLgBcR https://x.com/spacex/status/897133836441534464”
“@WholeMarsBlog Thank goodness! North America will have a way better connector for charging cars than rest of world.”
“@WholeMarsBlog Indeed I did. However, I also think that Tesla has the potential to be the most valuable company ever. When Tesla’s market cap, making sustainable energy products, exceeds that of Aramco, producing fossil fuels, you know the future will be good for Earth.”
“@considercosmos @SpaceX Booster & Ship will return to orbital launch pad on Monday (winds allowing). Just finishing off some small plumbing & wiring, which is easier in high bay.”
“@gc22gc Bannon is such a retarded liar. Dumber than a doorstop. SpaceX revenue this year will be $15.5B and NASA is only $1.1B. For that NASA revenue, SpaceX does all astronaut transport to the Space Station at roughly half the cost of Boeing, who thus far has failed to complete a”
“@trengriffin @ProfMJCleveland You are correct. Even the most advanced space-based Internet system is not competitive with fiber or cellular wireless in medium to high population density areas. However, systems like Starlink are far more efficient for low density areas like rural farmland and moving”
“@farbood Ride around in your truck in the devastated areas with a Starlink terminal on the roof and open WiFi”
“@zone_astronomy Low center of mass. Bit like our ship & booster on reentry.”
“Total revenue that SpaceX will receive from NASA this year is ~$1B out of ~$15B total, so ~7%. Moreover, NASA is paying SpaceX for astronaut & cargo transport to the Space Station, launching research satellites and some work for returning to the Moon. All of these contracts”
“Video of MIT's entrant into the SpaceX Hyperloop competition. Air has been removed from the Hyperloop tube to almost vacuum conditions. https://t.co/bAP7kDKzHs https://x.com/mithyperloop/status/825871420638978048”
“@Teslarati @Writer_01001101 Before DoD even came back with an answer, I told @FedorovMykhailo that SpaceX would not turn off Starlink even if DoD refused to provide funding”
“Bottom half of Starship at night. Top half with forward fins & header tanks probably stacks on Wednesday. Three Raptors already installed. https://t.co/haq3m1V1Wm”
“@BillyM2k With Starlink, you could stream video & play online games”
“@SpaceX Just a small-seeming issue with loss of upper stage camera. Probably nothing serious, but standing down to re-examine whole vehicle just in case.”
“@schrep @SpaceX Not really a moat – just a much higher rate of innovation than competitors”
“@NASASpaceflight @SpaceX Raptor chamber wall might have the highest heat flux of anything ever made”
“@SpaceX Probably 1/3 chance of completing all mission objectives”
“Simulation of how the SpaceX Interplanetary Spaceship and Rocket design would work. Will be… https://t.co/yWYDxtAKQP https://www.instagram.com/p/BZdZdSZAtQf/”
“Sped up version of today's rocket landing on the Droneship Just Read the Instructions (guess it… https://t.co/0wFgXMgeqZ https://www.instagram.com/p/BVxysOlA04j/”
“@AustinTeslaClub @RoschetzkyP @Tesla @TeslaNY @TeslaOwnersEBay @TeslaForThe_Win @jchybow @1stMarsColonist @EvaFoxU @heydave7 @gailalfa1 Also lasts much longer than normal roofs & is able to withstand hail & other medium-sized impacts”
“@JohnnaCrider1 @stats_feed In the coming years, Boring Co will attempt to build a working Hyperloop. From a known physics standpoint, this is the fastest possible way of getting from one city center to another for distances less than ~2000 miles. Starship is faster for longer journeys.”
