“@WholeMarsBlog Oh the irony 🤣🤣”
“Grok app now at rank 5 on App Store! [@cb_doge] BREAKING: Grok just moved to #5 overall app on the US AppStore. Downloads are skyrocketing. Was rank 56 a few weeks ago. You can try it too. Grok is free to download. Also, it is the fastest AI image & video generator out there.”
“First reflight of a Dragon spacecraft set for later today https://t.co/EW4HsWvlwc https://x.com/spacex/status/871073540891492352”
“RT @DavidSacks: Those astronauts are alive tonight because SpaceX prioritized extreme competence over everything else. If you want to have…”
“@TeslaHype @WholeMarsBlog Yeah, the character assassination attacks have reached a new level this year, but the articles are all nothing-burgers. I work crazy hours, so there just isn’t much time for shenanigans. None of the key people involved in these alleged wrongdoings were even interviewed!”
“@Erdayastronaut Yes, Booster 1 is a production pathfinder, figuring out how to build & transport 70 meter tall stage. Booster 2 will fly.”
“@IheartTesla @alex_avoigt @mike_zimon @WholeMarsBlog döner kebab”
“@kulpability Don’t need the cash. Devoting myself to Mars and Earth. Possession just weigh you down.”
“@Rogozin @SpaceX @JimBridenstine @roscosmos @NASA Спасибо, сэр, ха-ха. Мы рассчитываем на взаимовыгодное и процветающее долгосрочное сотрудничество. - Elon”
“RT @SpaceX: SpaceX has acquired xAI, forming one of the most ambitious, vertically integrated innovation engines on (and off) Earth → https…”
“@DimaZeniuk It’s from Asimov’s Foundation. But I’m open to other ideas. Ultimately, it will be up to the people of Mars to decide.”
“@ID_AA_Carmack I have great admiration for John’s engineering ability! What he did with Armadillo was incredible. I’ve tried to convince him many times to join SpaceX, but he has always declined (sigh).”
“@ErcXspace @NASASpaceflight @SpaceX Unlikely for early ships to splashdown intact. Getting to orbit at all on first try would be a major win.”
“Colonizing Mars (thanks Prof Hubbard for creating this from my talk). Major changes to the plan coming soon. https://t.co/s59qMHUj5O http://online.liebertpub.com/doi/pdf/10.1089/space.2017.29009.emu”
“Starship Hopper will do vertical flight tests similar to the Falcon 9 Hopper https://t.co/5dCrGFqymR http://youtu.be/NoxiK7K28PU”
“@SpaceX Important to note that the induced mass (mass required by a given engine design that is not the engine itself) of Raptor 3, while far better than Raptor 2, still has a lot of room for improvement. Thrust will exceed 300 tons with Raptor 3.x (thrust/mass>200), enabling 10,000…”
“@BLKMDL3 @RationalEtienne @Adamklotz_ Once we can predict cash flow reasonably well, Starlink will IPO”
“@Erdayastronaut We are breaking ground soon on a second Raptor factory at SpaceX Texas test site. This will focus on volume production of Raptor 2, while California factory will make Raptor Vacuum & new, experimental designs.”
“@itsALLrisky And that’s just for Earth! Mars has zero human population. We need a lot of people to become a multiplanet civilization.”
“@PPathole @SpaceX To extend the light of consciousness”
“@NASASpaceflight @SpaceX Yeah. To be frank, we did not expect the engine to survive a full duration run at that pressure. It is uncharted territory.”
“@CatherinScience I must admit to being congenitally optimistic (SpaceX & Tesla wouldn’t exist otherwise), but I think 5 years is possible and 10 years is highly likely”
“@Truthful_ast Seems like I should explain what the gameplan is for getting to Mars in more detail. Any individual launch is not very important. What matters is the expected date when Mars becomes a self-sustaining civilization.”
“@cleantechnica 2.1 sec 0-60 mph is base model before adding rocket thruster option”
“@WholeMarsBlog The 3 years of random drug testing was just because of one semi-puff during a @JoeRogan podcast!”
“@SpaceXMR Soon it will be real”
“@visegrad24 Space is hard. Took @SpaceX 4 tries to reach orbit. They can probably do it in fewer. But then it gets vastly harder to achieve truly useful reusability. Only SpaceX has ever done that.”
“@thesheetztweetz @QuiltyAnalytics First Starship orbital flight will be with Raptor 2 engines, as they are much more capable & reliable. 230 ton or ~500k lb thrust at sea level. We’ll have 39 flightworthy engines built by next month, then another month to integrate, so hopefully May for orbital flight test.”
“@BLKMDL3 @S3XYstarship @IWill_Travel @AOC Yes, but this is actually a good thing. It has been raining money on fools for too long. Some bankruptcies need to happen. Also, all the Covid stay-at-home stuff has tricked people into thinking that you don’t actually need to work hard. Rude awakening inbound!”
“@archillect Dragon hover test”
“@Rainmaker1973 Smooth video courtesy of bolting Starlinks to the deck. They are able to handle high vibration & acoustics.”
“@WholeMarsBlog You don’t even need to touch the shifter in new S. Auto detect direction will come as an optional setting to all cars with FSD.”
“Upgraded SpaceX/Tesla Hyperloop pod speed test soon. Will try to reach half speed of sound (and brake) within ~1.2km.”
“@SciGuySpace So many war stories over 18 eventful years! But Starship can make life multiplanetary, which is what really matters for safeguarding the light of consciousness & life as we know it. 100X improvement over Falcon/Dragon.”
“@unusual_whales Not me. I will live and die in America. (Some possibility of dying on Mars, hopefully not on impact)”
“@vincent13031925 Final decision made earlier this week on booster engine count. Will be 33 at ~230 (half million lbs) sea-level thrust. All engines on booster are same, apart from deleting gimbal & thrust vector actuators for outer 20.”
“@FischerKing64 Keep books and historical media safe. SpaceX will put copies of knowledge in space an on the Moon and Mars.”
“@WholeMarsBlog This assumes completion of the 10b sales”
“@SpaceX Krypton thrusters operative, satellites initiating orbit raise every 90 mins”
“@ggreenwald Despite greatly helping Ukraine via Starlink, I was viciously attacked for stating the obvious a year ago. The reason I did so was in hopes of avoiding the sacrifice of a generation of men to the trenches for nothing.”
“Falcon/Dragon launch to @Space_Station in 9 minutes”
“@engineers_feed Indirectly, an electric rocket is possible by using electricity to convert CO2+H2O —> CH4+O2. This will be needed on Mars even for early missions & Earth too over time.”
“@MarioNawfal @VlogdoLisboa @BGatesIsaPyscho Glad Starlink could be helpful to the people of Brazil”
“@WholeMarsBlog They are actually much more than point releases, but the team is reserving 11.420 for the big one”
“On Mars, I like to drink my coffee in this mug https://t.co/DN7aIyhhQ3 https://shop.spacex.com/occupy-mars-heat-sensitive-terraforming-mug.html”

“@Erdayastronaut @NASASpaceflight Booster 7 now returns to high bay for robustness upgrades & booster 8 moves to pad for testing. Next big test is probably full stack wet dress rehearsal, then 33 engine firing in a few weeks.”

“@WholeMarsBlog Some easy to fix bugs addressed in 11.4.2 that starts rolling out this weekend. Will address excess conservatism with narrow roads & with lane changes in heavy traffic.”
