“@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”
“Falcon 9 launch window is Sunday and Monday, assuming good weather at Vandenberg Air Force Base”
“RT @XFreeze: Starlink connectivity is now live on ~120 Qatar Airways aircraft, delivering high-speed in-flight internet to over 11 million…”
“After 2008 meltdown, vacation for me just meant email with a view, but SpaceX & Tesla are now strong enough that I can make it real (yay!!)”
“RT @ApoStructura: A 2016 SpaceX rendering of ITS (now Starship) sailing through the moon belts of Saturn: Goes to show how consistent Spac…”
“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.”
“@WholeMarsBlog We are focusing on just Model Y with HW4 for the initial release. Make sure that works well, then broaden. This has the 5X increase in parameters. HW3 would run the same parameter count, but requires extra work to optimize the code.”
“@RichardGarriott Just the air in Dragon. Technically, if a few humans had stowed aboard Dragon on the last flight, they would've been ok.”
“@doge_southern @SamTwits @TeslaOwnersEBay @Kristennetten @RationalEtienne @EvaFoxU @JohnnaCrider1 @TeslaChillMode @CodingMark @Model3Owners @WholeMarsBlog @AustinTeslaClub Next baby will be a girl”
“@Alan_Nestos The legs are nested tight against the body of the rocket in flight, so rotate about 120 degrees to deploy”
“@SamTwits @TeslaOwnersEBay @Kristennetten @RationalEtienne @EvaFoxU @JohnnaCrider1 @TeslaChillMode @CodingMark @Model3Owners @WholeMarsBlog @AustinTeslaClub Due to lack of banging, civilization might ended with a whimper! Adult diaper sales growth is much higher than baby diaper sales growth. https://t.co/eYk3nJNf6s https://www.reuters.com/article/us-diapers-adults-focus-idUSKBN1X10G0”
“@SamTwits @TeslaOwnersEBay @Kristennetten @RationalEtienne @EvaFoxU @JohnnaCrider1 @TeslaChillMode @CodingMark @Model3Owners @WholeMarsBlog @AustinTeslaClub This is a major problem! Between civilization ending with a bang or a whimper, this trend suggests the latter.”
“@doge_southern @SamTwits @TeslaOwnersEBay @Kristennetten @RationalEtienne @EvaFoxU @JohnnaCrider1 @TeslaChillMode @CodingMark @Model3Owners @WholeMarsBlog @AustinTeslaClub Me too!”
“SpaceX just achieved peak download speed of 17Mb/s from satellite direct to unmodified Samsung Android phone https://t.co/JqPHmkriv0”

“20th time the same booster has landed”
“28 launches & landings of the same booster! [@SpaceX] Fleet leading Falcon booster completes its 28th launch and landing”
“34th launch & landing of the same rocket [@SpaceX] Falcon 9’s fleet leader booster completes its 34th launch and landing”
“SpaceX just launched a competing satellite constellation to Starlink. Same price as other customers. No favoritism to our own system.”
“30 flights of the same rocket! [@SpaceX] Falcon 9’s first stage has landed, completing this booster’s 30th flight!”
“🇼🇸 Starlink in Samoa! 🇼🇸”
“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”
“Indeed, it was *because* I was not from the aerospace industry that SpaceX made such radical breakthroughs. Same for Tesla. Those in the industry would have if they could have. [@ray4tesla] In this 2015 interview, the host — a Tsinghua University professor — expressed genuine curiosity about how Elon Musk was able to found SpaceX without prior experience and knowledge in aerospace, especially given that rocket science is one of the most demanding hard sciences — and”
“SpaceX is now launching roughly the same number of satellites in a year as the number of operational non-SpaceX satellites in orbit cumulatively [@SawyerMerritt] SpaceX has officially surpassed its total number of launches from all of 2024 (138) — with more than two months still left in 2025. The company has launched over 2,500 Starlink satellites in 2025 alone. An absolutely incredible pace of progress 🚀”
“@balinares This is false. Anyone who can be in office, should be. However, if not logistically possible or they have essential personal matters, then staying home is fine. Working remotely is also ok if their manager vouches for excellence. Same policy as Tesla & SpaceX.”
“Try out self-driving in a Tesla. It will greatly improve your quality of life and may save your life. [@Scobleizer] I was on @wholemars space this afternoon while my Model 3 drove me for a couple of hours to drop off my taxes. And found myself quite emotional listening to others' stories about theirs. I'll never sell it. It is the best thing I've ever spent money on beyond marriage and”
“True [@XFreeze] Elon will never stifle competition - SpaceX literally proves it with every launch Here's what most people don't know: SpaceX launches satellites for Starlink's direct competitors - OneWeb, Amazon's Project Kuiper, and others......on the exact same Falcon 9 rockets, with the”
