“@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!”

“Air Force certifies @SpaceX to compete for launching national security satellites http://t.co/tLYcEDJFPV http://www.af.mil/News/ArticleDisplay/tabid/223/Article/589724/air-forces-space-and-missile-systems-center-certifies-spacex-for-national-secur.aspx”

“@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”

“RT @Teslaconomics: I can’t wait to get a ride on SpaceX’s Starship to Mars before I die… https://t.co/u0q6TZ2997”

“@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.”

“@WholeMarsBlog The actual magazine died long ago. That and many other “mainstream news” brands exist only to provide propaganda links to “validate” Wokipedia articles.”

“@TJ_Cooney @SpaceX Starlink bandwidth varies a lot, depending on user terminal density & time of day. That’s why the long wait in some areas. Throughput is roughly linear with total V1 satellites in operation. V2 satellites are at least 5 times better (conservative estimate) than V1.”

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

“Postponing launch to replace fairing pneumatic valve. It is dual redundant, but not worth taking a chance. https://t.co/vnfxmeer7h https://x.com/spacex/status/876522258948169728”

“@RationalEtienne @Adamklotz_ Starlink is a staggeringly difficult technical & economic endeavor. However, if we don’t fail, the cost to end users will improve every year.”

“@engineers_feed @SpaceX @NASA Great work by SpaceX team & very much appreciate faith in Starship by @NASA!”

“RT @SpaceX: Super Heavy is designed to be a fully and rapidly reusable rocket, eventually bringing aircraft-like operations to the world of…”

“@Andy8671025 @WholeMarsBlog Solar panels, ground mount & rooftop, paired with stationary batteries, will be civilization’s primary source of energy, as sure as day follows night. Mark these words.”

“@WholeMarsBlog 😂 Now they need to show their drug tests! They will fail.”

“@WholeMarsBlog I would like to have a strong influence on AI/robotics, not control it. I don’t think any one person should control it.”

“@WholeMarsBlog @truth_tesla @LimitingThe There are vast amounts of iron (and lithium) on Earth, but much less nickel. For global industry to scale battery production to ~10 TWh/year, it needs to be mostly iron. Higher energy density of Nickel only needed for very long range vehicles & aircraft.”

“RT @XFreeze: Elon Musk’s mindset in the early days of SpaceX is a masterclass in resilience 🚀 After 3 consecutive rocket failures, all the…”

“RT @Ivar_A2428: Starship looks like something straight out of a science fiction movie. https://t.co/Oiq4TM8ent”

“@PPathole @johnkrausphotos @SpaceX Two of the engines need slight repairs, so will be switched out”

“RT @MarshaBlackburn: For far too long federal bureaucrats abused the taxpayer and spent money like a drunken sailor. Those days have come…”

“Latest vertical landing rocket vid. 325M altitude, hold against wind, land w T/W>1, radar in loop http://t.co/I68Xxpb1EQ http://youtu.be/eGimzB5QM1M”

“@harrison_astro We can do that partially, but detailed rocket technology is considered advanced weaponry (same tech as nuclear missiles), so there are more limitations than at Tesla”

“@ElonardoM @WholeMarsBlog @FrenchieEAP @kimpaquette @28delayslater @AIDRIVR @Gfilche @HyperChangeTV @teslaownersSV @RationalEtienne 🤣🤣”

“@chazman Starlink maintained the connection while Starship was moving at ~17,000 mph through super heated plasma, which greatly impedes the signal”

“@teslaownersSV @28delayslater @thirdrowtesla Bought, but SpaceX is spooling up to manufacture proportional solenoid valves for Medtronic (confirmed as critical today with chair & CEO) https://t.co/zIuesSaXrZ”

“@astro_greek Many funny details on Raptor. The special metal alloy SpaceX created for the rocket nozzles turns green, so we painted Hulk on the first one.”

“@Anarseldain President @realDonaldTrump is right. We must distinguish clearly between companies that need to hire critical world-class talent from other countries vs companies that simply hire lower cost non-US employees to increase profits. SpaceX has succeeded *despite* not being unable”

“@spideycyp_155 @FedorovMykhailo @SpaceX Starlink has faced relentless jamming attacks & SpaceX relentless cyberwar. So far, their success has been limited.”

“@WholeMarsBlog The real plaintiff is the class-action law firm”

“@peterrhague No, we’re going straight to Mars. The Moon is a distraction. Mass to orbit is the key metric, thereafter mass to Mars surface. The former needs to be in the megaton to orbit per year range to build a self-sustaining colony on Mars.”

“@BLKMDL3 @GailAlfarATX @WholeMarsBlog Yes”

“@DonaldJTrumpJr @SpaceX @realDonaldTrump @kaitrump @tedcruz Great week in so many ways!”

“RT @cb_doge: We are going straight to MARS! https://t.co/TlG791JgnO”

“RT @DogecoinNorway: Scandinavian Airlines is hooking all their aircraft up with Starlink from SpaceX🔥 By the end of 2025, all aircraft wil…”

“@WholeMarsBlog High-performance code is in C using our own compiler to maximize frame rate. We use Python with custom libraries for fast prototyping, then convert to C for fast execution. New software is run against real-world video & our world simulator to evaluate performance, then QA.”

“@MarcusHouse A second is a long time to a rocket. Said another way, it was 1000ms or ~50 control cycles away from hitting the tower. Not actually that close.”

“RT @johnkrausphotos: This Super Heavy booster flies again tomorrow. It is the first booster reuse of the Starship program, and comes after…”
