“@DanaEn803 @arstechnica @SciGuySpace The super heavy booster can be used more frequently than the ship, as it returns in about ~6 minutes and can theoretically be ready for reflght in an hour. The ship needs to complete at least one orbit, but often several to have the ground track line back up with the launch…”

“@Erdayastronaut It’s a good path for fully renewable rocket energy, so solves part of problem, but longer chain hydrocarbons than CH4 are needed to be solid at room temp”
“Final Dragon Version 1 mission tonight”
“Falcon 9 will experience its highest ever reentry force and heat in today's launch. Good chance rocket booster doesn't make it back.”
“@WholeMarsBlog This variant of the Model Y doesn’t start production in the US until the end of next year. Might not ever, given the advent of self-driving in America.”
“@SirineAti @SpaceX Two Dragons on @Space_Station”
“~20m up & sideways for first flight. Mk1 Starship hopefully 20km up in a few months.”
“RT @elonmusk: @AdamLowisz I literally challenged Putin to one on one physical combat over Ukraine and my Starlink system is the backbone of…”
“@EvaFoxU @WholeMarsBlog Sunlight is the best disinfectant, so let’s shed some light on the media puppet-masters!”
“@richardbranson @SpaceX @inspiration4x Thanks Richard!”
“RT @SpaceX: The Road to Making Life Multiplanetary: an update from @elonmusk on SpaceX's plan to reach Mars https://t.co/d2cnsVKK80”
“@WholeMarsBlog May he continue to have fun on his yachts. I prefer to work.”
“@wholemars They really don’t and I’ve given them all the information!”
“@Erdayastronaut @SpaceX SN8 did great! Even reaching apogee would’ve been great, so controlling all way to putting the crater in the right spot was epic!!”
“Grok 4.20 is funny, based & smart 😂 [@mwheatfill] @wholemars Oh wow. Sonnet 4.6 and Opus 4.6 with Extended Thinking both failed this. Grok 4.2 with 4 agents succeeded however.”
“@DimaZeniuk @Tesla @WholeMarsBlog @dami_kolz @Kristennetten @1stMarsColonist @melaniemadri @daelmor @RationalEtienne @EvaFoxU @AstroJordy @28delayslater It is an honor to work with such talented engineers”
“@Erdayastronaut @nextspaceflight @NASASpaceflight @BocaChicaGal @SpaceX Raptor production is approaching one every 48 hours”
“@Erdayastronaut @SpaceX Fun!”
“Rated for 280+ kph (174+ mph) winds https://t.co/qJBdykpTT9 https://www.starlink.com/specifications?spec=3”
“@TheMarsSociety SpaceX is developing rockets needed to make life multiplanetary — full & rapid reusability at large scale. Even if SpaceX fails in that goal, the rockets will still be most advanced on Earth. Starlink‘s purpose is to provide Internet to the least served & to pay for Mars.”
“@Erdayastronaut @thesheetztweetz @BryceSpaceTech @SpaceX @Arianespace @ArianeGroup @roscosmos @northropgrumman @ulalaunch @torybruno @isro @RocketLab The Starship fleet is designed to achieve over 1000 times more payload to orbit than all other rockets on Earth combined. Almost no one understands this.”
“@johnkrausphotos Starship will be on Mars within 5 years”
“This is a dicey test, as the Starlink antenna is partially obscured by trees, so latency & jitters will be higher, as the terminal tries to connect with satellites further away that are not obscured”
“@Erdayastronaut @SpaceX @Blackmagic_News @andrutay @bstineman @SpacePadreIsle @considercosmos Standing down SN11 until probably Monday. Additional checkouts are needed. Doing our best to land & fully recover.”
“@artemis360_moon @SpaceX Probably sooner”
“@WholeMarsBlog We need to predict what pedestrians will do based on their behavior, including limb angle & direction of sight. FSD currently sees all pedestrians as cuboids, so is overly cautious. Also, diffusion seems to be more compute-efficient than transformers for vision.”
“Rocket landed hard on the droneship. Didn't expect this one to work (v hot reentry), but next flight has a good chance.”
“Static fire data looks good so far. This is first launch of Falcon Heavy Block 5, so we’re being extra cautious. Launch date might move.”
“Rocket made it to drone spaceport ship, but landed hard. Close, but no cigar this time. Bodes well for the future tho.”
“First draft animation of the Falcon Heavy three core launch. FH is twice the thrust of the next… https://t.co/vgZxF6LRMR https://www.instagram.com/p/BXXiVWFgphb/”
“@tetsuoai To be clear, we are still going to do Mars. I don’t think this change affects the time to a Mars city being self-growing by more than 5 years and it might turn out to accelerate Mars.”
“@Kristennetten @SpaceX It will be exciting to see what new cultures humanity creates on other heavenly bodies!”
“@Teslarati @RDAnglePhoto First orbital stack of Starship should be ready for flight in a few weeks, pending only regulatory approval”
“@VP @POTUS @NASA @SpaceX Thank you on behalf of the many people of SpaceX”
“@Erdayastronaut @netflix @NASA @SpaceX @JimBridenstine @AstroBehnken @Astro_Doug @Gwynne_Shotwell Cool!”
“@DoctorJack16 Main Tesla subjects will be scaling to extreme size, which is needed to shift humanity away from fossil fuels, and AI. But I will also Include sections about SpaceX, Tesla and The Boring Company.”

“@WholeMarsBlog Actually, I like & use Apple products. They are just obviously overcharging with App Store. I mean 30% fees for doing almost zero incremental work is completely unreasonable. Epic wouldn’t bother processing their own payments if App Store fees were fair.”
“SpaceX Dragon from as seen from @Space_Station viewport https://t.co/WE82irbsmp”
“@WholeMarsBlog Based on feedback received, we will drop mobile connector price to $200 & make it easy to order with car. Note, mobile connector is not needed if you have a Tesla wall connector or to use Superchargers. Recommend installing Tesla wall connector well before car arrives.”
“@WholeMarsBlog Beta 10 coming soon!”
“Dragon 2 is designed to be able to land anywhere in the solar system. Red Dragon Mars mission is the first test flight.”
“@WholeMarsBlog And people wonder why I sometimes think we’re in a simulation …”
“@WholeMarsBlog Thank goodness! North America will have a way better connector for charging cars than rest of world.”
“@considercosmos @SpaceX Booster & Ship will return to orbital launch pad on Monday (winds allowing). Just finishing off some small plumbing & wiring, which is easier in high bay.”
“@gc22gc Bannon is such a retarded liar. Dumber than a doorstop. SpaceX revenue this year will be $15.5B and NASA is only $1.1B. For that NASA revenue, SpaceX does all astronaut transport to the Space Station at roughly half the cost of Boeing, who thus far has failed to complete a”
“@trengriffin @ProfMJCleveland You are correct. Even the most advanced space-based Internet system is not competitive with fiber or cellular wireless in medium to high population density areas. However, systems like Starlink are far more efficient for low density areas like rural farmland and moving”
“@farbood Ride around in your truck in the devastated areas with a Starlink terminal on the roof and open WiFi”
“@WholeMarsBlog Take away the subsidies. It will only help Tesla. Also, remove subsidies from all industries!”
“@zone_astronomy Low center of mass. Bit like our ship & booster on reentry.”
