“@SciGuySpace Cumulative payload to orbit is the really crazy number. Falcon has delivered more than double rest of world combined over trailing 12 months.”

“@patrickc I thought SpaceX and Tesla both had >90% chance of failure, but worth trying anyway”

“@WholeMarsBlog FSD will soon exceed 10,000 miles between critical interventions, which is a year of driving for most people”

“@WholeMarsBlog We must focus on FSD for the other 99% of the fleet. Cybertruck FSD is a few months away.”

“@imPenny2x @SecDuffyNASA They won’t. SpaceX is moving like lightning compared to the rest of the space industry. Moreover, Starship will end up doing the whole Moon mission. Mark my words.”

“@WholeMarsBlog Then HW5, which has been renamed to AI5, in the second half of next year. The Tesla AI5 computer has ~10X the capability of HW4 computer and Tesla makes the whole software stack.”

“View of Dragon from @Space_Station cupola https://t.co/1HjljLWdFi”

“@wapodavenport However, even if it were 16 flights with docking, this is not a problem. SpaceX did more than 16 orbital flights in first half of 2021 & has docked with Station (much harder than docking with our own ship) over 20 times.”

“@SawyerMerritt 8/8 and year of the Dragon”

“@WholeMarsBlog 12.5.x will finally combine the city and highway software stacks”

“@ICannot_Enough @engineers_feed Yeah, it’s insane! Roughly 70% of Earth is ocean and most of the ocean has zero ships per Starlink cell. Most people think Earth is crowded with humans, but in reality it’s almost empty by surface area. Humans congregate in a very small percentage of Earth (cities). The entire…”

“@thesheetztweetz 4 significant items: - Final heat shield tiles for ship - Thermal protection of booster engines - Ground propellant storage tanks - QD arm for ship 2 weeks.”

“@MarioNawfal Amazingly, no Starliner fines for Boeing! The FAA space division is harassing SpaceX about nonsense that doesn’t affect safety while giving a free pass to Boeing even after NASA concluded that their spacecraft was not safe enough to bring back the astronauts. There need to be…”

“@Jason Thanks Jason! Super proud to work with such great teams at SpaceX, Tesla, Neuralink and Boring!!”

“@NASASpaceflight 39A is hallowed spaceflight ground – no place more deserving of a Starship launch pad! Will have similar, but improved, ground systems & tower to Starbase.”

“@Shastada0 Absolutely. Normal connectivity is often lost when there are wild fires, storms or flooding, but Starlink still works.”

“@NASASpaceflight It will look crazy tall with booster & fairing at 122m / 394 ft”

“@sana_J2 @SpaceX And to be clear, I have never asked @realDonaldTrump for any favors, nor has he offered me any”

“@MarioNawfal This Starship is designed to traverse our entire solar system and beyond to the cloud of objects surrounding us. A future Starship, much larger and more advanced, will travel to other star systems.”

“@PPathole @SpaceX @mayemusk It is taking longer than expected to make the upper stage not expendable (sigh)”

“@Erdayastronaut Yeah, Starship will be a tiny dot at 20km. Hard to see with naked eye. We’ll do lots of flights.”

“@lexfridman In theory, it saves landing leg mass & enables immediate reflight of an otherwise unwieldy, giant rocket”

“@ZainS180 @VikingRocket @WholeMarsBlog Cybertruck will reach far into a post-apocalyptic future & bring that technology to now”

“@WholeMarsBlog Lambert has a terminal case of EDS”

“@WholeMarsBlog @StuartZuckerma1 ~4.5X increase in params should be ready for wide release later this year. Super frugal use of memory bandwidth, caching exactly what is needed & squeezing microseconds out of everything are needed to maintain the frame rate. And the whole system needs to be retrained.”

“@johnkrausphotos @SpaceX @PortCanaveral Version 3 of the SpaceX droneship. Team did great work! Will be epic to see the deep sea oil rigs converted to ocean spaceports for Starship.”

“@RajveerJolly We are developing the interplanetary rocket and spaceship to allow anyone to travel to the moon, Mars & beyond, regardless of nationality”

“Presentation of @SpaceX Interplanetary Spaceship & Rocket design from 2016 https://t.co/3b1YWWmmxg https://m.youtube.com/watch?feature=youtu.be&v=H7Uyfqi_TE8”

“@WholeMarsBlog The hands of Optimus”

“@WallStreetSilv @dogeofficialceo @TheRabbitHole84 @WholeMarsBlog @BillyM2k lmao”

“@flcnhvy Good grief! SpaceX is getting zero money for this. Starship is designed to carry people & cargo around Earth (also to moon & Mars). Vast majority of use will be civilian. It’s just like an airline in space. All airlines sometimes carry military cargo, but ~99% is civilian.”

“@roscosmos @Rogozin @JimBridenstine Thank you on behalf of SpaceX! We have always admired your rocket/spacecraft technology.”

“@ID_AA_Carmack Thanks John, really admire you too! I think you’re one of the best engineers ever. Hope you return to working on rockets one day.”

“RT @NASA: Four new crew members are on their way to the @Space_Station! NASA's SpaceX Crew-11 mission lifted off from @NASAKennedy at 11:…”

“@arstechnica @SciGuySpace They are aiming too low. Only rockets that are fully & rapidly reusable will be competitive. Everything else will seem like a cloth biplane in the age of jets.”

“@WholeMarsBlog I think we may have figured out some aspects of AGI. The car has a mind. Not an enormous mind, but a mind nonetheless.”

“@JaneidyEve @flcnhvy @Freiraum77 @SpaceX Aiming for 20km flight in Oct & orbit attempt shortly thereafter. Starship update will be on Sept 28th, anniversary of SpaceX reaching orbit. Starship Mk 1 will be fully assembled by that time.”

“@WholeMarsBlog Companies should get the hell out of Delaware”

“Falcon 9 lifting off with 1.3 mmmillion pounds of force http://t.co/7ltlN2WYmx”

“@TrevorMahlmann @arstechnica V1.1 legs will be ~60% longer. V2.0 legs will be much wider & taller — like Falcon, but capable of landing on unimproved surfaces & auto-leveling.”

“Preview of the @SpaceX interplanetary transport system at @IAC2016 https://t.co/Rz4XmeAoRw https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=7TYJyCCO8Dc”

“@ThePrashanthCB @dogeofficialceo I hear you, but we’re not getting to Mars if civilization falls apart before then!”

“RT @MarioNawfal: 🇨🇦 CANADA’S IMMIGRATION GRAPH JUST TURNED INTO A ROCKET SHIP Canada's bringing in 2.5 million people by 2025. It's the b…”

“Launch at 1:25 delivering 10 satellites for Iridium. Droneship repositioned due to extreme weather. Will be tight. https://t.co/6ZcSG29B74 http://spacex.com/webcast”

“@WholeMarsBlog Vision became so good that radar actually reduced SNR, so radar was turned off. Humans drive with eyes & biological neural nets, so makes sense that cameras & silicon neural nets are only way to achieve generalized solution to self-driving.”

“RT @teslaownersSV: SpaceX is making fully rapidly reusable rockets The holy grail of rocketry https://t.co/VgdOiRJSxl”

“@SpaceX @SpaceForceDoD Winning 60% of the missions may sound generous, but the reality is that all SpaceX competitors combined cannot currently deliver the other 40%! I hope they succeed, but they aren’t there yet.”

“@S3XYstarship @ACTBrigitte He’s fine, I guess. Does seem like he’s spending a lot of time in the hot tub these days. If he wants to get to orbit, less partying and more work would be advisable.”

“Rocket landing speed was close to design max & used up contingency crush core, hence back & forth motion. Prob ok, but some risk of tipping.”

“@aakashgupta Starship V4 Tanker version will deliver >200 tons of propellant per flight, so more like 5 or 6 tanker flights to refill the lunar transit Starship in orbit. Shouldn’t be too much of a problem if we’re doing >10k flights/year.”
