“@MattWallace888 My primary home is literally a ~$50k house in Boca Chica / Starbase that I rent from SpaceX. It’s kinda awesome though. Only house I own is the events house in the Bay Area. If I sold it, the house would see less use, unless bought by a big family, which might happen some day.”
“RT @RealDonKeith: 🚨Happening just now in Marseille, France: A Tunisian man has been shot dead by police after stabbing multiple people whil…”
“@thirdrowtesla Tesla & SpaceX are the top two destinations for engineers, because you can have the most fun creating kickass technology! That’s why.”
“@Erdayastronaut Making rocket reuse normal is the goal”
“@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.”
“Going to try to catch the giant fairing (nosecone) of Falcon 9 as it falls back from space at… https://t.co/CVS2PoaJah https://www.instagram.com/p/BfgHKDNAplx/”
“@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…”
“@WholeMarsBlog Tesla is technically a car like an iPhone is technically a phone”
“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”
“On the rocket LZ https://t.co/UyiNd2fmi5 https://www.instagram.com/p/Be36GWVAcR5/”
“@ai_for_success For a few years, then SpaceX will far exceed everyone combined”
“@WholeMarsBlog As mentioned earlier, v11.4.1 has major architectural improvements. It’s actually much more than a point release. Should arguably be v12.0, but that’s reserved for when FSD is fully AI from video in to control out.”
“@SpaceX Krypton ion thrusters activate in about 3 hours to raise orbit”
“@lexfridman @SpaceX Missions like Inspiration4 help advance spaceflight to enable ultimately anyone to go to orbit & beyond”
“@SpaceX Worth noting that thrust is only slightly higher with the big bell nozzle version. Larger bell is primarily for efficiency in vacuum. Aiming for 380+ sec Isp for RVac long-term. Initially likely to be ~372.”
“@teslaownersSV @SpaceX @NASA To be clear, SpaceX wasn’t given $1.5B – we were given a contract for cargo delivery to & from Space Station that would amount to $1.5B if successful”
“@wholemars S and X will always continue to exist in the fleet, just not in production, but it is still a little sad”
“@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. 👽”
“@SamTalksTesla @SpaceX Much sooner”
“@Erdayastronaut @SpaceX Probably Monday”
“@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.”
“Upcoming Falcon Heavy 🚀 & 🛰 details”
“@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”
“@collision @SpaceX Cool! 🇮🇪”
“@Kristennetten @SpaceX @EliBurton_ @EvaFoxU @JaneidyEve @austinbarnard45 @ElonsBrain @JasoN7Patterson @AstroJordy @RenataKonkoly Pretty much”
“@crheller @SpaceX Glad it’s working! The sheer amount of work done by SpaceX engineering, production & launch teams is amazing. Ping should improve dramatically in coming months. We’re aiming for <20ms. Basically, you should be able to play competitive FPS games through Starlink.”
“@Erdayastronaut @SpaceX 😮”
“Close-up of rocket stage separation, fast flip, boostback burn in a ring of fire and then… https://t.co/RM8kDgazVX https://www.instagram.com/p/BTjVdLVB1bO/”
“@spacex360 If lobbying & lawyers could get u to orbit, Bezos would be on Pluto rn”
“@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.”
“@EvaFoxU Falcon is powered by 9 merkins!”
“@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 Yeah, seeing it everywhere. Btw, 12.4 goes to internal release this weekend and limited external beta next week. Roughly 5X to 10X improvement in miles per intervention vs 12.3. 12.5 will be out in late June. Will also see a major improvement in mpi and is single stack – no…”
“@teslaownersSV @SpaceX @NASA @considercosmos Support for humanity’s future in space is super appreciated. Let’s make the sci-fi future we want real!”
“@leastImAlive @PPathole Yeah, sold my houses, except for 1 in Bay Area that’s rented out for events. Working on sustainable energy for Earth with Tesla & protecting future of consciousness by making life multiplanetary with SpaceX. Also, AI risk mitigation with Neuralink & fixing traffic with Boring.”
“@WholeMarsBlog Computers are absurdly more accurate than humans. How long would it take for a human to render even one frame of a modern video game at low res? The computer will do high res at 120 frames per second. Not a contest.”
“Looks like Falcon landed fine, but excess lateral velocity caused it to tip over post landing http://t.co/eJWzN6KSJa”
“Loss of Falcon vehicle today during propellant fill operation. Originated around upper stage oxygen tank. Cause still unknown. More soon.”
“Falcon 9 standing on LZ-1 at Cape Canaveral https://t.co/RZdfcH0exW”
“@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.”
“Copies will be etched in stone and sent to the Moon, Mars and beyond. This time, it will not be lost.”
“@TeslaOwnersEBay @Kristennetten @RationalEtienne @EvaFoxU @JohnnaCrider1 @TeslaChillMode @CodingMark @Model3Owners @WholeMarsBlog @AustinTeslaClub I’m trying to set a good example! Population collapse is a much bigger problem than people realize and that’s just for Earth. Mars has a great need for people, seeing as population is currently zero. Humans are the custodians of other life on Earth. Let us bring life to Mars!”
“@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.”
“Russia has excellent rocket engineering & best engine currently flying. Reusable version of their new Angara rocket would be great. https://t.co/6RLvf5R4ni https://arstechnica.com/science/2019/03/with-dragon-russian-critic-says-roscosmos-acting-left-behind/”
