“@SpaceX There was a tiny glitch in the motion of an upper stage engine actuator. Probably not a flight risk, but still worth investigating.”
“RT @teslaownersSV: The Starlink Mini is one of the most important devices ever made. Super compact, easy to sign up and it’ll connect you…”
“@Adamklotz_ @Erdayastronaut @josh_bickett @ajtourville @SpaceX Will still use hot gas maneuvering (RCS) thrusters, as ~5X more efficient than nitrogen (300 sec vs 60 sec Isp)”
“@WholeMarsBlog Yup. With beta updates, there’ll be a lot of 2 steps fwd, 1 step back situations, but pace of improvement will be extremely fast.”
“@JaneidyEve @JakeTheHuman28 @tesla_truth @Twitter Posting SpaceX videos is definitely not copyright infringement!”
“@ErcXspace @NASASpaceflight @SpaceX Some of these design trades are still open, but will be resolved soon”
“@SpaceNews_Inc China understands the profound importance of reusability. The era of expendable rockets will soon be over.”
“RT @SpaceX: Deployment of 21 @Starlink satellites confirmed https://t.co/Em6wof0xCb”
“@NASA @sgvcrime @SpaceX @Space_Station Thanks for your support! Looking forward to delivering the goods for you.”
“RT @ElonClipsX: Elon Musk: As a system, Starship is thousands of times more capable than Saturn V. “Starship is 2.5 times the thrust of a…”
“@StarshipFairing We are on the wrong planet for SSTO. On Mars, it is thankfully easy.”
“RT @SpaceX: Falcon 9 lifts off from Florida for the 100th time in 2025 https://t.co/KFc9Xy1CeR”

“RT @SpaceX: Falcon is the first orbital-class rocket capable of recovery and reuse. The first stage booster supporting this mission will co…”
“@WholeMarsBlog We live in the most interesting of times”
“@JeffTutorials @WholeMarsBlog That’s arguably a security issue, but allowing companies to use other payment options, especially for in-app purchases would be fair. As soon as they allowed that, they would have to lower their fees. As for the cost of reviewing apps for security, a fixed fee makes sense.”
“@WholeMarsBlog Lot of work between here and there, but it can be done”
“@WholeMarsBlog Long-term, solar & wind with batteries wins, but mostly solar, as it crushes everything at 1GW/km^2. The Sahara alone could power Earth several times over. A corner of Utah or Texas could power all of North America, including Canada and Mexico.”
“RT @teslaownersSV: “Here's Elon Musk who brought us into the era of electric vehicles, the only person who can shoot off rockets and get th…”
“RT @MarioNawfal: ELON: WE CAUGHT STARSHIP’S BOOSTER WITHOUT THE HELP OF AI “Not bad for humans. No AI was involved in that whatsoever.…”
“RT @MarioNawfal: 🚨🇺🇸 ATR AIRCRAFT ADDS STARLINK TO ATR72 ATR Aircraft is bringing SpaceX’s Starlink connectivity to its ATR72-600 and ATR7…”
“RT @farzyness: Starlink is only possible because of reusable rockets. SpaceX is the only company that does reusable rockets. And they're…”
“@skorusARK Starlink will provide the vast majority of bandwidth from space”
“@WholeMarsBlog Her statement is trivially disproven by actually looking at the razor-thin profit margins of food companies”
“RT @teslaownersSV: “My boss Elon Musk founded this company @SpaceX in 2002 with the purpose of building rockets and spaceships to enable pe…”
“@Astro_Elliott @LifeboatHQ Once you have rapidly reusable rockets of sufficient size to carry >100 tons of payload, it is not clear that cost per ton to orbit/moon/Mars improves with a larger rocket. Aircraft, for example, have moved away from 747/A380 to 777, which has ~100 tons of payload.”
“@MemesOfMars @vonbrauckmann Hard to beat the Great Pyramid!”
“RT @SpaceX: Falcon 9 is vertical at pad 40 ahead of tomorrow's launch of the @USSpaceForce’s GPS III-9 mission. Teams continue to monitor r…”
“@esherifftv True 😂 Biggest rocket of all time by far and the first design capable of colonizing Mars, but public awareness is ironically tiny.”
“RT @SawyerMerritt: NEWS: SpaceX’s @Starlink has officially been granted a license to operate in Bangladesh. With this decision, Bangladesh…”
“RT @johnkrausphotos: The V1 and V2 era of Starship has concluded after a largely successful 2.5-year run, defined by iterative development…”
“@Erdayastronaut @SpaceX @flightclubio Mass of initial SN ships will be a little high & Isp a little low, but, over time, it will be ~150t to LEO fully reusable”
“RT @SpaceX: Teams encapsulated the Cygnus XL spacecraft ahead of Falcon 9’s fourth launch of @northropgrumman's commercial resupply mission…”
“RT @teslaownersSV: “Starship is the key to making life multiplanetary and protecting the light of consciousness.” Elon Musk https://t.co/D…”
“RT @SpaceX: Falcon 9’s first stage has landed on the A Shortfall of Gravitas droneship https://t.co/paR1pYhTyW”
“@JoelSercel Despite significant growth by our competitors, especially China, SpaceX will probably increase from ~90% of Earth’s total payload to orbit to ~98% in about 24 months due to Starship”
“@PPathole @SpaceX It is flat-packed. No dispenser.”
“Falcon Heavy side boosters can use most of the same airframe as Falcon 9, but center core needs to be buffed up a lot for transfer loads.”
“RT @johnkrausphotos: Good evening from Starbase, Texas, where Starlink satellite simulators are being loaded onto Ship 34 ahead of Starship…”
“@PalmerLuckey Exactly. Crimea was a sanctioned region, which is why our beams were not activated there. SpaceX cannot violate sanctions at the request of a foreign government – that would be a felony criminal action. We did not receive a request from the US government.”
“@skorusARK Marginal cost of Starship mass to orbit should be well under $100/kg. Fully burdened cost depends on flight rate.”
“@Erdayastronaut @i_gvf @SciGuySpace Exactly. Chartering a dedicated 747 flight around the world costs less than buying a small, single engine turboprop plane. In the same way, a giant reusable rocket flight is way cheaper than a tiny expendable rocket that can be used only once.”
“@TrungTPhan I came to the (obvious) conclusion that a radical improvement in rocket technology was needed to make life multiplanetary. That required creating a company, as success was not in the set of possible outcomes for the existing rocket companies.”
“@AnthonyFinno @RobertOHaver @Tesla Tesla is affecting powerful vested interests. Big auto & oil companies aren’t known for their gentle behavior. SpaceX is battling US military prime contractors & space programs of national govts. No walk in the park there.”
“@WholeMarsBlog If you don’t say anything & engage Autopilot, it will soon guess based on time of day, taking you home or to work or to what’s on your calendar”
“@BasedBeffJezos @Scobleizer @trengriffin The difficulty of communicating with Mars varies tremendously, with the worst case being when it is on the opposite side of the Sun from Earth. For terabit-level bandwidth, the best option is probably a series of laser communication satellites at varying distances from the Sun…”
