“Worth noting that Boeing/Lockheed ("Other US" on chart) get a billion dollar annual subsidy even if they launch nothing. SpaceX does not. https://t.co/Mi27ZnYLRJ https://x.com/concofahmet/status/885617156473450496”
“While I have great fondness for @NASA, they will constitute less than 5% of our revenue next year. Commercial Starlink is by far our largest contributor to revenue. Some people have claimed that SpaceX gets “subsidized” by NASA. This is absolutely false. The SpaceX team won… https://t.co/5ebFse5Eg4 https://x.com/i/web/status/1997401910635278368”
“Looking back at the sun from upper stage & Falcon 9 🚀 landed on drone ship Of Course I Still Love You https://t.co/sg3FXIDQJL”
“Mars V2 plan coming soon, which I think addresses the most fundamental flaw in V1: how to pay for development & operation of giant rockets https://t.co/yaITdVdpEc https://x.com/sciam/status/875756138121310208”
“This is significantly more than any country has launched with their entire rocket fleet in a year. Second is peak Soviet Union at ~500 tons. For a present day comparison, the rest of the world has delivered ~250 tons to orbit so far this year, mostly by China.”
“@gvanrossum Flight code for the rockets and Starlink satellites is written in C and C++. Python is used where runtime performance is less important than rapid iteration and ease of use.”
“@WholeMarsBlog All US cars that are capable of FSD will be enabled for a one month trial this week”
“Mars City Opposite of Earth. Dawn and dusk sky are blue on Mars and day sky is red. https://t.co/XHcZIdgqnb https://www.instagram.com/p/BZm_FXPg6YZ/”
“@SpaceX We will need to make a lot of improvements to have a chance of completing 48 launches next year!”
“@NASA @NASAInSight Congratulations! What an amazing track record of success with Mars!”
“@WholeMarsBlog Often, when we announce something, we hear simultaneous criticism that it’s already been done, but also that it’s impossible 🤣🤣”
“@SpaceX Last launch of 2020 coming up”
“@Erdayastronaut @SpaceForceDoD @SLDelta45 @SpaceX Falcon Heavy is a testament to the awesomeness of humanity”
“@ashleevance The amount SpaceX is requesting for a major battlefield advantage is less than the cost of one new GPS satellite. Ironically, GPS doesn’t work on battlefields, as the signal is easy to jam, but Starlink does.”
“May need to increase size of rocket storage hangar”
“SpaceX standard antenna production rises rapidly this year, so those with orders shouldn’t have to wait long. Note, Starlink can only support a limited number of users in an area, so best to order early.”
“RT @libsoftiktok: HOLY SHLIT Is this Jasmine Crockett doing a Nazi salute??? I’m sure the media will be all over this! https://t.co/2nTG9w… null”
“@SpaceX @Space_Station About twice as much useful mass to orbit as rest of Earth combined”
“@PPathole @SpaceX The hard part about Raptor is simplifying it”
“@flcnhvy @SpaceX Starlink terminal has motors to self-orient for optimal view angle. No expert installer required. Just plug in & give it a clear view of the sky. Can be in garden, on roof, table, pretty much anywhere, so long as it has a wide view of the sky.”
“@FischerKing64 I literally have zero interests Russia. Tesla has no operations there, SpaceX directly competes with Russia for space launch and Starlink is a key asset of Ukraine. Sam Harris is a pompous hypocrite (writes book about how lying is terrible and then advocates lying to keep Trump…”
“No need to rely on scientists for global warming -- just use a thermometer https://t.co/0PbtAL8uRK https://www.forbes.com/sites/marshallshepherd/2017/06/20/the-science-of-why-its-too-hot-for-some-planes-to-fly-in-the-southwest-u-s/#6a31c3f54ceb”
“@WholeMarsBlog Fusion would be expensive energy, given difficulty of obtaining and transporting source fuel, plus maintaining the reactor. Far better to use the Sun – thermonuclear reactor with no need to refuel or service.”
“@chhardman @PeterHotez @joerogan But it was a mistake to push for so many Covid-19 booster shots (even the initial vaccine shot was overkill on quantity). There‘s obviously risk of the immune system going out of control when it sees what what you’ve trained it to believe is a serious disease over & over again.”
“@SpaceX One of our most complex missions”
“@dogeofficialceo @WallStreetSilv @WholeMarsBlog @BillyM2k 🤣”
“@Tesmanian_com Sanjay deserves a lot of credit for making X/PayPal succeed. Now helping SpaceX serve rural communities in India. Much respect.”
“@hodgetwins I have seen no evidence of aliens. If I did, I would 💯 post about it on 𝕏 instantly! SpaceX has almost 6000 satellites in orbit and not once have we had to maneuver around aliens. 👽”
“@NewsfromScience @ScienceVisuals Starship will be an incredible enabler for science. Full reusability & high production rate drive several orders of magnitude improvement in $/kg to orbit & beyond. Next gen Starlink constellation is primary user of this rocket, so science doesn’t need to cover fixed cost.”
“@VladSaigau SpaceX has over 9000 satellites orbiting Earth right now, which is twice as many as the rest of the world combined. So maybe we know a thing or two about the subject …”
“@WholeMarsBlog 😂💯 Also, to be clear, I am NOT taking drugs! The New York Times was lying their ass off. I tried *prescription* ketamine a few years ago and said so on 𝕏, so this not even news. It helps for getting out of dark mental holes, but haven’t taken it since then.”
“@waitbutwhy Starlink is a new version of the Internet in space”
“@Sajwani This is because SpaceX is rebuilding an improved version of the entire Internet in space and they are not. NASA revenue this year is only ~5% of SpaceX’s total revenue.”
“Should note that SpaceX will only try to catch the ship with the tower after two perfect soft landings in the ocean. The risk of the ship breaking up over land needs to be very low.”
“@BillyM2k @Gerashchenko_en SpaceX Starlink has become the connectivity backbone of Ukraine all the way up to the front lines. This is the damned if you do part. However, we are not allowing Starlink to be used for long-range drone strikes. This is the damned if you don’t part.”
“@WholeMarsBlog Doing the opposite of whatever that insufferable numbskull says would be a great way to invest!”
“@WholeMarsBlog That’s where we get most of our lithium. Also, whereas phone batteries make heavy use of cobalt in cathode, Tesla uses primarily nickel, which is trickier, but has better energy density (range). Iron cathode cells are now competitive for stationary packs & mid range cars.”
“@ErcXspace @SpaceX @NASASpaceflight @MarcusHouse Pretty close. Inner ring is closer to center 3, as all 12 gimbal together. Boost back burn efficiency is greatly improved in this config.”
“@WholeMarsBlog Actually smart auto wiper software releases in about 3 weeks. Our patented, “Actually Smart Summon (ASS)” is probably a month or two after that.”
“@SpaceNews_Inc Starlink “poses a hazard” to Viasat’s profits, more like it. Stop the sneaky moves, Charlie Ergen!”
“@PicturesFoIder I mean Starlink glued to a PC gaming rig”
“@flcnhvy @thatdogegirl @WhatsupFranks @TeslaGong Becoming multiplanetary is one of the greatest filters. Only now, 4.5 billion years after Earth formed, is it possible. How long this window to reach Mars remains open is uncertain. Perhaps a long time, perhaps not. In case it is the latter, we should act now.”
“@WholeMarsBlog V11.4 is excellent. Several days of driving to random pin drop locations in Austin. Zero safety-critical interventions.”
“@PPathole @SpaceX Pattern on the Starlink router is orbital transfer ellipse from Earth to Mars”
“@TrevorMahlmann @SpacePadreIsle Celebrating a year of great work by the SpaceX team!”
“@StarshipFairing @SpaceX @ulalaunch @blueorigin @relativityspace @torybruno @thetimellis Design is easy, production is hard”
“@SpaceX Fairing halves recovered https://t.co/F82LE8JlLJ”
“@Erdayastronaut @SpaceX That’s actually our restaurant, but SpaceX is building a futuristic bar at the top of the high bay with 360 degree windows & a glass floor looking down on the rocket factory”
“@SciGuySpace SpaceX did 2X rest of world payload to orbit last year, probably 3X to 4X this year”
“@Teslarati @13ericralph31 SpaceX has more active satellites in orbit than rest of Earth combined, tracking to double rest of Earth soon”
