“@PPathole @Rainmaker1973 The amazing part will be having an orbital rocket that is fully & rapidly reusable with any payload at all! Everyone else gave up when they realized that their fully reusable payload<0. We still have a long way to go.”
“@Cmdr_Hadfield @astroscale_HQ We could make a hungry hippo version of Starship to chomp and deorbit space debris”
“@SciGuySpace SpaceX provided its knowledge of crewed parachute systems to Boeing and we are happy to be helpful in any other ways. Designing parachutes for orbital, crewed spacecraft is much harder than it may seem. Was a major challenge for SpaceX.”
“@OprahSide Maybe he should design flag of Mars”
“RT @cb_doge: "When I was a kid, I built model airplanes, trainsets, rockets, a radio, lots of software. Built a primitive MRI machine in co…”
“@WholeMarsBlog What you’re seeing now is just the tip of a very big woke iceberg”
“@WholeMarsBlog Customer experience suffers when there is an end of quarter rush. Steady as she goes is the right move.”
“RT @Starlink: Starlink will soon be available on British Airways, Aer Lingus, Iberia, Level and Vueling aircraft. Stream, game, work and m…”
“@Cmdr_Hadfield @SpaceX @OurWorldInData Exactly. And many areas of countries showing good Internet actually have poor or no access, so those are important to address too.”
“@prmshra Don’t be silly. I oversaw the SpaceX engineering team that built the Dragon LiDARs used to dock with @Space_Station! They are simply the wrong solution for a complex terrestrial road system that was designed for biological neural nets and eyes. Therefore the right, imo only,…”
“RT @SpaceX: The Starship preparing for our ninth flight test completed a single engine static fire demonstrating an in-space burn https://t…”
“@lrocket It was still amazing to see it take off”
“@WholeMarsBlog @tesla_truth Greenspan is crackers, bananas, barky & ten cards short of a full deck”
“@Erdayastronaut @SpaceX All of that and more. We’re doing a broad review of launch site, propulsion, structures, avionics, range & regulatory constraints this weekend. I will also be at the Cape next week to review hardware in person.”
“RT @SpaceX: Liftoff! https://t.co/yP64Gp1izF”
“RT @SpaceX: Falcon 9 lifts off from Florida, adding 21 @Starlink satellites to the constellation and completing our 400th overall mission w…”
“@WholeMarsBlog Reuters is truly the worst of the worst”
“RT @BillAckman: Consider the impact of Starlink becoming available everywhere and @X as a free global news and information platform, when t…”
“@SciGuySpace Troubling. I am very much in favor of science, but unfortunately cannot participate in NASA budget discussions, due to SpaceX being a major contractor to NASA.”
“@WholeMarsBlog Of course”
“RT @cb_doge: Incredible view of Earth from Starship. https://t.co/2wzTVA12Wt”
“Winds aloft are unusually high (still within structural safety bounds). Worrying, but not a showstopper. https://t.co/epHQQvajOZ https://x.com/spacex/status/859000342985424896”
“@DimaZeniuk What’s really crazy about this is that almost no investors wanted to sell shares even at a $350B valuation! SpaceX reduced the amount of shares it bought back from employees in order to allow some new investors in.”
“@rookisaacman Thanks Jared. We will investigate the issue and look for any other potential near-misses. We are tracking to do more Falcon flights this year than Shuttle did in 30 years, the vast majority of which are uncrewed. A major advantage of this super high flight rate is that we can…”
“Can't wait to see all three cores of Falcon Heavy come back for landings! First two will be almost simultaneous. https://t.co/ryMiewZM4L http://www.orlandosentinel.com/news/space/go-for-launch/os-spacex-landing-pads-space-coast-20160718-story.html”
“@Erdayastronaut @SpaceX @BoeingSpace @ulalaunch @Boeing Slight booster length increase to 70m, so 120m for whole system. Liftoff mass ~5000 mT.”
“@i_am_dipshikha @Spearcorps @Starlink This is false. Starlink satellite beams are turned off over India.”
“RT @NASA: We're bringing NASA+ to @Netflix! Starting this summer, Netflix audiences will be able to stream rocket launches, spacewalks, an…”
“RT @ApoStructura: Starship vs A380 & 737-8 When stacked with the Super Heavy booster Starship is taller than an A380 and a Max-8 on top of…”
“@WholeMarsBlog What has become absolutely clear is that the plethora of self-driving corner cases can only be solved with real-world optical intelligence. This is how humans designed the road system to work. Once you have that in silicon form, everything else is just icing on the cake.”
“@SciGuySpace It’s a step in the right direction, but they should really aim for full reusability by 2026. Larger rocket would also make sense for literal economies of scale. Goal should be to minimize cost per useful ton to orbit or it will at best serve a niche market.”
“@PPathole @SpaceX @Tesla That was my night job. Day job was working on ruthenium-tantalum ultracapacitors at Pinnacle Research.”
“@shortword @M3Marcel @WholeMarsBlog Current efficiency is 1.7kWh/mile, but there is a clear path to 1.6, possibly 1.5”
“@GailAlfarATX @SawyerMerritt Wow, working on this problem has soaked up a lot of my time & brain cycles over the past ~7 years! This and Starship engines are currently the two hardest problems.”
“@DimaZeniuk @Starlink @SpaceX @SpaceXStarlink Temporary experiment to test price elasticity of demand”
“RT @SpaceX: Views of SpaceX's two Florida launch pads from space”
“@_rykllan @FelixSchlang @spaceXcentric @MarcusHouseGame @SpaceX Anyone tracking tonnage to orbit per year for all launch vehicles?”
“@SPEXcast @TrungTPhan Starship will be crushingly cost-effective for Earth orbit or moon missions as soon as it’s operational & rapid reuse is happening. Mars is a lot harder, because Earth & Mars only align every 26 months, so ship reuse is limited to ~dozen times over 25 to 30 year life of ship.”
“RT @SoveyX: SpaceX now has over 10,000 Starlink satellites in orbit, which is honestly an absurd engineering achievement. And no, they are…”
“@TimFernholz Efficiently reusable rockets are all that matter for making life multiplanetary & “space power”. Because their rockets are not reusable, it will become obvious over time that ULA is a complete waste of taxpayer money.”
“RT @johnkrausphotos: OTD 7 years ago: The debut of Falcon 9 Block 5, which has since become the workhorse launch vehicle of the modern era,…”
“@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”
“@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.”
“@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”
“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”
