“@DimaZeniuk Slightly different variants of stainless alloys are used in the rocket and truck, but pretty close overall”

“@WholeMarsBlog Vast majority of people have no idea this works”

“@Erdayastronaut @SpaceX Absolutely, but to move to Mk3 design. This had some value as a manufacturing pathfinder, but flight design is quite different.”

“@SawyerMerritt @SpaceX The California Coastal Commission should be dissolved as an organization. An utterly insufferable and misanthropic group of Karens if there ever was one!”

“@rmcentush Starship could deliver 100GW/year to high Earth orbit within 4 to 5 years if we can solve the other parts of the equation. 100TW/year is possible from a lunar base producing solar-powered AI satellites locally and accelerating them to escape velocity with a mass driver.”

“@Teslarati Pretty much, although we also sent some Medtronic units, which are meant for extreme situations. Those require a lot of work to set up & operate. Should be used sparingly. SpaceX is making the valve at the heart of that system.”

“@DrPhiltill @adamholtwrites SpaceX has way more satellites in orbit than the rest of the world combined, so maybe we know a thing or two about the subject 🤣 Starlink V3 will be 20kW and launched at scale around Q4 next year. No problem to scale that to >100kW if the satellite mass is shifted towards solar… https://t.co/6wPLn97Vff https://x.com/i/web/status/1998872465087541752”

“@Erdayastronaut @SpaceX @Caspar_Stanley @IzanRamos2002 All mass necessitated by an engine design should count as engine mass, eg shrouds, TVC hydraulic power or excess purge gas. Raptors in production now have electric TVC, saving over a ton of hydraulics mass on booster.”

“@flcnhvy @ErcXspace Saves mass & cost of legs & enables immediate repositioning of booster on to launch mount — ready to refly in under an hour”

“@TashaARK Additive manufacturing of parts is still far too costly for cars, but can rapidly create tooling to accelerate pace of innovation. It’s already sensible for rocket engine parts. To the best of our knowledge, SpaceX is 2 or 3 years ahead of other companies in use of additive.”

“RT @SpaceX: Falcon 9 aboard the Just Read the Instructions droneship after successfully completing our first international landing off the…”

“@RationalEtienne @Erdayastronaut @Twisi80 Starship is literally more pointy because of that movie haha”

“Falcon before launch https://t.co/QqxvtBijoF https://www.instagram.com/p/BPZeLbtAzOW/”

“@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…”

“RT @SpaceX: The Fram2 @framonauts and SpaceX completed a full rehearsal of launch day activities ahead of liftoff on Monday https://t.co/e1… null”

“@dogeofficialceo @WatchersTank @SpaceX Looking at pups soon!”

“@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 @SpaceX: Falcon 9 and Dragon rolled out to pad 39A in Florida earlier today ahead of Tuesday’s launch of @Axiom_Space’s Ax-4 mission to…”

“@spacesudoer Shana is awesome. Many years ago, I asked her to lead the early VTOL development of Falcon (aka Grasshopper) and she did great work. Now, Shana is a senior member of the Starship engineering team.”

“@torybruno @ChadBowman0 @thesheetztweetz Now, this sort of nonsense happens all the time with government contracts & everyone knows it. However, in this case, it is money diverted from making life multiplanetary, which is the goal of SpaceX, vs the ULA goal of maximizing dividends to Lockheed & Boeing. Not ok.”

“RT @SpaceX: Liftoff! https://t.co/r4loES5iG0”

“@cb_doge They kept calling me “Internet Entrepreneur” who didn’t understand rockets, now sometimes I’m thought of as cars/rockets guy who doesn’t understand the Internet 😂”

“@MemesOfMars 🤣”

“RT @SpaceX: Falcon 9 lands at Landing Zone 4 https://t.co/MExOFygn4s”

“@WholeMarsBlog 13 years is a long tour of duty. Zach will spend time with friends & family, then do something else.”

“@skorusARK When even someone in California, home of Silicon Valley, needs Internet so bad that they bolt a Starlink dish to the hood of their car, you know there’s a serious unmet need! https://t.co/WLcEu4IrJw https://www.cnbc.com/2021/07/02/chp-tickets-driver-with-apparent-spacex-starlink-dish-on-hood.html”

“@Dtrford @austinbarnard45 @AlexSvanArt @ErcXspace @SpceEnthusiast @SpacexVision @TomDixonDesign @SpaceX @spaceXcentric Doesn’t quite illustrate true size difference. Starship payload volume & mass are >1000% that of Shuttle.”

“RT @SpaceX: Falcon 9 lands off the coast of The Bahamas for the first time! Welcome to space @VisitTheBahamas! https://t.co/eidTYL5PYv”

“@WholeMarsBlog We need to step up our game”

“RT @SpaceX: To all those who have served, including the 1,800+ members of the SpaceX team, Happy Veterans Day! https://t.co/FpUgCCMLMN”

“RT @SawyerMerritt: Elon Musk just made a surprise appearance on tonight’s Starship livestream: https://t.co/UFFqofrdwO”

“@WholeMarsBlog @Teslarati @KlenderJoey Saudi Arabia owns 2/3 of Lucid, so inevitable”

“@WholeMarsBlog Release of 10.69.2 probably end of week. Needs a bit more polish.”

“@MemesOfMars @disclosetv 👍”

“@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.”

“@eugenelee3 @SpaceXFan97 Most of Earth by end of year, all by next year, then it’s about densifying coverage. Important to note that cellular will always have the advantage in dense urban areas. Satellites are best for low to medium population density areas.”

“@SciGuySpace His plan makes no sense. Just a worse version of Apollo. Starship will enable a permanently occupied moon base and even a city on the moon one day.”

“@KanekoaTheGreat If the rest of the year goes well, SpaceX will launch close to 90% of all mass to orbit. China will be ~6% and rest of world ~4%.”

“@teslaownersSV @24_7TeslaNews @SpaceX No guarantees, but maybe next month. Requires quite a lot of incremental testing & code tweaks for different road system in Canada.”

“RT @SpaceX: Liftoff! https://t.co/WSjMOsMjK6”

“@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 @SpaceX: Full duration static fire test of Super Heavy https://t.co/JwVWdyarfd”

“@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.”

“Upgrades underway to enable rocket to compensate for a thrust shortfall on one of the three landing engines. Probably get there end of year.”

“Cause of hard rocket landing confirmed as due to slower than expected throttle valve response. Next attempt in 2 months.”

“@Model3Owners @TrungTPhan It took an utterly insane amount of work to move the SpaceX & Tesla success probabilities above ~zero”

“@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.”

“@Erdayastronaut @SpaceX All correct. Parachutes were originally the backup landing system, with SuperDraco thrusters as primary. Difficulty of proving thruster landing safety *and* architecture being suboptimal for moon/Mars caused us to change focus to parachutes.”
