@SpaceXMR Tragically, it is not clear that the defense contractors can get to the moon for any amount of money. More than $200B has been spent on development of new US crewed space transport systems over past ~40 years, but only Dragon is flying. Development cost to NASA was <$2B.

@WhatsupFranks … while simultaneously leading Tesla to be the world’s most valuable car company (Model Y is the selling vehicle on Earth) and SpaceX to be the world’s most valuable space company (~80% of all payload to orbit last year). Whatever I’m doing, I should obviously keep doing it!

@JasonDanheiser @WholeMarsBlog @28delayslater Self-driving cars & useful humanoid robots require a sophisticated understanding of reality. I am increasingly convinced that they are on the path to solving AGI. Should AGI be solved? I don’t know, but humanity is moving rapidly in this direction whether I like it or not.

@RationalEtienne @Adamklotz_ SpaceX needs to pass through a deep chasm of negative cash flow over the next year or so to make Starlink financially viable. Every new satellite constellation in history has gone bankrupt. We hope to be the first that does not.

@ID_AA_Carmack The right way to grade any technology is not comparing it to competitors (too easy), but comparing it to the limit of physics. That is, for example, how we grade Starlink latency, which shows that there is still a *lot* of room for improvement! Same for $/ton to Mars.

@PPathole Booster has 2 pins for lifting & catching, although maybe it’s better to modify grid fins to take more load. Something will need to flip out from leeward side of top of ship to do same there. Maybe it’s part of fwd flaps, but prob not. Diff solutions for diff load paths.

@Erdayastronaut @Blamblas @latimes @SpaceX @blueorigin Exactly. Mars propellant production will combine atmospheric CO2 & water (ice) to make CH4 (methane) & O2. Will do same on Earth long-term. Short-term, each Falcon flight uses roughly same fuel mass as a 747 flight. Falcon is ~71% oxygen & Starship is ~78%, so mostly not fuel.

@Erdayastronaut @i_gvf @SciGuySpace Exactly. Chartering a dedicated 747 flight around the world costs less than buying a small, single engine turboprop plane. In the same way, a giant reusable rocket flight is way cheaper than a tiny expendable rocket that can be used only once.
