“@Darkellysio @katlinegrey @Zvezdichko @SciGuySpace The swivel wing design was cool. This seems like a good idea: https://t.co/Aq81q9oMdq https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baikal_(rocket_booster)”

“Falcon/Dragon launch punted to early Jan. Need time to review all systems thoroughly again.”
“@SteelSully @annerajb @kickber @ExploreSpaceKSC Yeah, that sounds ideal! I love the KSC rocket garden. Spent many days there looking at rocket design details.”

“@PaigeANjax -340 F in this case. Deep cryo increases density and amplifies rocket performance. First time anyone has gone this low for O2.”
“@autonomyEV @tesla_truth @marialauraadr @_TomCross_ One of our main conference rooms at SpaceX is named after Goddard”
“@nickynaptime Rocket mass ratio is about the same for aluminum-lithium vs 301 stainless full hard at cryo, but latter costs way less, is tougher & doesn’t even need paint!”
“Rocket engines are healthy, but cleaning turbopump gas generators will take another day. Aiming for Mon eve launch.”
“@benoitdenayer @navincho @katlinegrey Essentially, yes. Great engineering talent, but should focus on reusable rockets for purpose of a permanent human base on the moon and self-sustaining city on Mars.”
“@EMostaque @Yuhu_ai_ 4.20 is doing very well on this front. Parsed physics vs hearsay very well when asked about the probable fuel impact of Starlink on a 1 hour 737 flight (~0.13%).”
“@aquastellaris @Pocketsdog @omcintyre @CrampedEyes @SpaceX @Tesla The pain will end”
“@dxk_ @ZainRaz4 @Erdayastronaut @SpaceX Three things, one of which is CH4”
“@andygen21 @Teslarati Yes, I postponed publishing in order to present the updated interplanetary rocket & spaceship design in Adelaide. Will be on the final day.”
“This gives a sense of what Mars would look like after changing the climate to sustain life http://t.co/DT1P5EUp http://m.theatlantic.com/technology/archive/2013/01/a-martian-dream-heres-what-the-red-planet-would-look-like-with-earth-like-oceans-and-life/266791/”
“@ZainRaz4 @Erdayastronaut @SpaceX No”
“@_ishanspatil @SPEXcast @13ericralph31 @JaneidyEve @bluemoondance74 @Orion_Sword @Some1gee @Erdayastronaut @SpaceX Aiming for 150 tons useful load in fully reusable configuration, but should be at least 100 tons, allowing for mass growth”

“Upcoming Falcon 9 demo has a lot of new technology, so the probability of failure is significant http://t.co/PfnGeEaaWq http://ow.ly/oJ0W1”
“@SmallPettingZoo @Rob_2628 @Starlink As you know, being one of the best Druids, killing Lilith in Eternal as that class has at times been absurdly difficult, but you could try 100+ times and only need to visit the blacksmith occasionally for equipment repair”
“@alijamalashraf @Erdayastronaut @MichaelGalanin @SpaceX Turbines on hot side (outer fan-looking things in this depiction), but this is just to illustrate the type of engine. Our turbopumps are vertical, have 3 fan-looking things on pump side & complex cross-flow. Liquid oxygen turbopump is integrated with main combustion chamber.”
“@SPEXcast @13ericralph31 @JaneidyEve @bluemoondance74 @Orion_Sword @Some1gee @Erdayastronaut @SpaceX N2 for vacuum. Aero surfaces & high gimbal angle main engines for atmosphere.”
“Rocket fairing almost ready for deployment test in vacuum chamber. Man lift on right for scale http://t.co/BLOTThWFvw”
“@Some1gee @Erdayastronaut @13ericralph31 @HarryStoltz1 @flcnhvy It’s a factor. Main reason is that FFSC is the ultimate architecture for converting propellant into rocket velocity.”
“Certainly true that many people believe that Tesla and SpaceX are powered by the #hhgttg Infinite Improbability Drive :)”
“@dannysparker Aiming for relaunch in 3 to 4 months, pending detailed examination and 10X refiring of a returned booster”
“@RusulAlrubail @MarkRuffalo @guardian Please check your facts. Tesla and SpaceX joined as soon as we received the filing, which was Monday.”
“@SchaFFFFFF Flight 24 is def capable of flying again, but it makes sense to apply ground delta qual to rocket w toughest entry conditions.”
“Would also like to thank @USAirForce for allowing us to use their long range comm system for Dragon in free drift.”
“@kpe @SpaceX @grierallen @natedapore Cool, thanks for letting us know. This is helpful for figuring out fairing reusability.”
“@SmileSimplify @Vita_Berlin @c12olivas Exactly. Wouldn't let anyone invest more than a token amount in early rounds of SpaceX and Tesla, as the probability of failure was >90%.”
“Was misquoted by BBC as saying "Europe's rocket has no chance". Just said the [Franco-German] Ariane 5 has no chance, so go with Ariane 6.”
“@TomMao1 Studied physics in college, read a lot of books and was taught by the world's leading domain experts at SpaceX.”
“@RichardGarriott Dragon will use four pairs of side mounted Superdraco engines. Can function with up to four out.”
“@RichardGarriott Just the air in Dragon. Technically, if a few humans had stowed aboard Dragon on the last flight, they would've been ok.”
“@Alan_Nestos The legs are nested tight against the body of the rocket in flight, so rotate about 120 degrees to deploy”
“True [@WholeMarsBlog] The follow up act to the Tesla Model Y”
“Staging is so hot rn [@SpaceX] Super Heavy booster going from hot-staging to tower catch on Starship's seventh flight test )”
“Raptor 3 is engineering art [@XFreeze] Raptor 3 is engineering black magic SpaceX’s Raptor is the FIRST full-flow staged combustion engine to ever fly - only the 3rd ever built (after the Soviet RD-270 and the 2000s US demo that never flew) → Both fuel-rich + oxidizer-rich preburners → 100% of propellant through”
“Absolutely [@fermatslibrary] SpaceX's Starship has the potential to accelerate astrophysics research by decades. In this week's paper, the authors highlight Starship's substantial payload capacity (+100t) and cost-effective launch model, could allow NASA to deploy next-generation space telescopes much”
