“@SpaceIntellige3 @SpaceX @SpaceXStarlink @nkknspace @HomemDoEspacoBr @InfographicTony @cnunezimages @spacex360 Inter-satellite laser communications means Starlink can carry data at speed of light in vacuum all around Earth before touching ground. Over time, some amount of communication can simply be from one user terminal to another without touching the Internet.”

“@esherifftv @lrocket As it turns out, future versions of Raptor will ultimately exceed 700k lb-F! Honing T/W, Isp and reliability are much harder than thrust though. Rocket engines desperately want to explode.”
“@ThierryBreton In all seriousness, SpaceX hopes to offer travel to Mars to anyone who wants to go, bearing in mind that it will be like a long sea voyage in centuries past – dangerous and uncomfortable, but great adventure! Becoming multiplanetary ensures the long-term survival of life.”
“@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.”

“@gurgavin The fundamental principle of ITAR law is that US companies who have advanced weapons technology, such as rockets with intercontinental range, must hire people who are permanent American residents, so that the technology does not fall into the hands of countries who wish us harm.”

“@Adamklotz_ @AaronS5_ @crheller @SpaceX More ground stations & less foolish packet routing will make the biggest differences. Looking at speed of light as ~300km per millisecond & satellite altitude of ~550km, average photon round-trip time is only ~10ms, so a lot of silly things have to happen to drive ping >20ms.”

“@DJSnM @Erdayastronaut @SpaceX @Caspar_Stanley @IzanRamos2002 Electric power for booster & ship is needed even when engines aren’t running & incremental power draw of TVC isn’t too bad. We have local supercaps on each engine to deal with power spikes.”

“@_Jevis_ @PPathole Ideal scenario imo is catching Starship in horizontal “glide” with no landing burn, although that is quite a challenge for the tower! Next best is catching with tower, with emergency pad landing mode on skirt (no legs).”
“@WholeMarsBlog Eventually, you will probably be able to upload a good approximation of your memories & mind state to “the cloud” with the ability to download it to a humanoid robot. You obviously won’t be quite the same as you are today.”
“@WholeMarsBlog There were no injuries or accidents because of this. We are just being very cautious.”
“@WholeMarsBlog High-performance code is in C using our own compiler to maximize frame rate. We use Python with custom libraries for fast prototyping, then convert to C for fast execution. New software is run against real-world video & our world simulator to evaluate performance, then QA.”
“@Teslaconomics Starship already reached orbital velocity, which is success for all other rockets. Achieving full reusability will be profound not for reasons of valuation, but because it will enable consciousness to extend permanently beyond Earth.”
