“@SpaceXMR Heavy comes in more like a javelin. Similar to Falcon 9, but caught by the tower vs landing on legs.”

“@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.”
“RT @SpaceX: Falcon 9 has landed, completing our final planned landing at LZ-1 https://t.co/ZlW1Ptp7DG”
“@SpaceX Shooting stars”
“@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.”
“@flcnhvy @AstroBehnken @Astro_Doug @SpaceX Still long way to go. Reuse only matters to degree that it’s rapid & complete.”
“@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 @framonauts flew aboard Dragon’s 17th human spaceflight mission – with 66 crewmembers now having flown aboard the spacecraf…”
“@WatchersTank @SpaceX Just one skyscraper catching another nbd haha”
“@IlyaRosenberg @Caspar_Stanley @Erdayastronaut @SpaceX @SuperHeavyBN3 They are now the same (LOX below CH4). Ox is 3.5 times heavier than fuel, so makes sense to have it lower.”
“@Neopork85 @Caspar_Stanley @ErcXspace @MarcusHouseGame @FelixSchlang @C_Bass3d @nickhenning3d @SpaceX Tiles will be on hot side of flaps too. A very tough problem is sealing the moving flap to body joint without melting or shredding the seal.”
“@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…”
“@spideycyp_155 @FedorovMykhailo @SpaceX There are some active terminals”
“@Erdayastronaut @SpaceX Aim for zero velocity just above surface & fall. You won’t fall fast.”
“@ajtourville @SpaceX A truly reusable orbital-entry-class heat shield is the single biggest technology problem remaining”
“@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.”
“@BrentM_SpaceX @xai The @xAI Colossus team is great. Thanks also to the many contractors, the TVA and others who have helped make it happen!”
“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.”
“@SpaceX Launch aborted on low thrust alarm. Rising oxygen temps due to hold for boat and helium bubble triggered alarm.”
“@SpaceX69_420 @permabulla @BillKristol I meant melanin 😂 Shows I’m retarded too!”
“RT @SpaceX: Falcon 9 launches 28 @Starlink satellites from California https://t.co/yoKb2gjHA9”
“RT @MarioNawfal: WALTER ISAACSON: ELON WILL BE ABLE TO DO IN GOVERNMENT WHAT HE DID WITH TESLA AND SPACEX “He pretty much owns SpaceX. If…”
“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”
“@NASA @SpaceX @NASAKennedy I love @NASA!”
“@iam_smx SpaceX team are such great humans”
“@FelixSchlang @SpaceX Probably, but not yet”
“Have to focus on tonight's @SpaceX launch. Will post Tesla (master) product plan afterwards.”
“@SpaceX And other places”
“@PPathole @SpaceX @Tesla That was my night job. Day job was working on ruthenium-tantalum ultracapacitors at Pinnacle Research.”
“@Andercot But the good news is that SpaceX will put big telescopes in space and giant ones on the Moon”
“@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?”
“RT @SoveyX: SpaceX now has over 10,000 Starlink satellites in orbit, which is honestly an absurd engineering achievement. And no, they are…”
“@AngelNDevil2 @torybruno What is not well understood is that ULA *still* has a monopoly carve-out for US government launches for which SpaceX is not allowed to compete, costing the taxpayer twice as much per launch than it should. This is obviously not real competition.”
“@iamtomnash The Fox anchor is talking utter nonsense. I challenged Putin to a physical fight over Ukraine and SpaceX and provided massive support to Ukraine, as the Ukrainian government has repeatedly acknowledged.”
“@ajtourville @Erdayastronaut @SpaceX Yes, but engines have a min throttle point where there is flameout risk, so landing on 3 engines means high thrust/weight (further away from hover point), which is also risky”
“@Erdayastronaut @SpaceX Absolutely, but to move to Mk3 design. This had some value as a manufacturing pathfinder, but flight design is quite different.”
“@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!”
“@Erdayastronaut @josh_bickett @ajtourville @SpaceX Intuitively, it would seem so, but turbopump-fed Raptors have much higher thrust & propellant mass fraction than pressure-fed gas thrusters & they’re already there”
“@Teslarati Pretty much, although we also sent some Medtronic units, which are meant for extreme situations. Those require a lot of work to set up & operate. Should be used sparingly. SpaceX is making the valve at the heart of that system.”
“@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”
