“@Erdayastronaut Everyday Astronaut is a great account to follow for Starship and space matters in general”
“@peterrhague As I said in my post, we will still do Mars in parallel, but the critical path to a self-growing Moon city is faster. The Moon city can be made to be self-growing in less than half the time of Mars. The critical juncture for humanity’s expansion beyond Earth is having a… https://t.co/vn78V12Bra https://x.com/i/web/status/2020829121916412129”
“@krassenstein We need to be on Mars by 2033”
“@aaronjcash @WholeMarsBlog @brandonee916 @vincent13031925 @SpaceX Some good Cox jokes in this thread”

“@nextspaceflight There is the internal goal if things go right, which needs to be aggressive. Obviously, some things will not go right internally & there will be external issues too. That said, I think we can stack an orbital ship on an orbital booster in July.”
“@jameslin123321 @Erdayastronaut Loading the Mars fleet into Earth orbit, then 1000 ships depart over ~30 days every 26 months. Battlestar Galactica …”
“@xDaily This has nothing to do with Kuiper, we’re just trying to make Starlink more affordable to a broader audience. The lower the cost, the more Starlink can be used by people who don’t have much money, especially in the developing world.”
“RT @cb_doge: 🚨 ELON MUSK: Starlink will never turn off its terminals in Ukraine. "To be extremely clear, no matter how much I disagree wit…”
“@Erdayastronaut @SpaceX Super proud of SpaceX propulsion/test/materials team! One of hardest technology problems. New high temp superalloy & internal foundry needed to make it work. Foundry iteration interval is ~3 weeks from design to flight part vs ~36 weeks typical for aerospace.”
“@Erdayastronaut @NASA @SpaceX Mars needs to happen soon”
“RT @Starlink: Starlink Mini is compact and connects to high-speed internet in minutes Speeds up to 280+ Mbps”
“SpaceX team reviewed all systems again late last night. Done our best to ensure all is good. https://t.co/R3YrF6PEt4 https://x.com/spacex/status/882693202930577408”
“@Free_Space @thesheetztweetz @AviationWeek SpaceX will do the right thing for OneWeb, even though they are a competitor”
“@SpaceX Testing Raptor in vertical configuration (on the giant tripod) should allow us to simplify some aspects of the engine design”
“@WholeMarsBlog Next release (10.12) is another step towards all NN’s using surround video & reconciling output to a unified vector space for control code. Improves complex intersections in heavy traffic. Many upgrades to core code, so taking longer to debug issues. Probably Wed/Thurs release.”
“@ErcXspace @smvllstvrs T/W will be ~1.5, so it will accelerate unusually fast. High T/W is important for reusable vehicles to make more efficient use of propellant, the primary cost. For expendable rockets, throwing away stages is the primary cost, so optimization is low T/W.”
“@thesheetztweetz @QuiltyAnalytics SpaceX default plan was ~65% of global launch mass to orbit this year. Incremental demand might take that to ~70%, so not a major change. Those numbers don’t count Starship. Rough math is ~16 tons * 50 launches = 800 tons. Rest of world is <400 tons (mostly China).”
“@TeslaLarry SpaceX even launched competing satellite constellations with no markup. Same price for all.”
“@DJSnM Booster landing was on target, ship landing was several km off due to flap damage, but both were soft landings”
“RT @SpaceX: Starship’s ninth flight test marked a major milestone for reuse with the first flight-proven Super Heavy booster launching from…”
“@WholeMarsBlog Took us way too long”
“@BillyM2k @WholeMarsBlog The media has strong negative bias & are driven by clicks (they can’t help it). Unfortunately, I generate lots of clicks. But these things move in cycles. When it starts boring readers to knock me down, they will build me up. This cycle has happened so many times …”
“@WholeMarsBlog This should be clear to anyone who has experienced the FSD beta evolution. Self-driving requires solving a major part of real-world AI, so it’s an insanely hard problem, but Tesla is getting it done. AI Day will be great.”
“@WholeMarsBlog This is a big one! Expect some two steps forward, one step back situations. These will be great ironed in point releases, hence ~10.12.2 or 10.13 for wider beta release.”
“@SpaceX We're going to spend the 4th doing a full review of rocket & pad systems. Launch no earlier than 5th/6th. Only one chance to get it right …”
“@Thavisin @Tesla @SpaceX @Starlink It was an honor to meet. Thailand has a very exciting future!”
“@SpaceXMR Tragically, it is not clear that the defense contractors can get to the moon for any amount of money. More than $200B has been spent on development of new US crewed space transport systems over past ~40 years, but only Dragon is flying. Development cost to NASA was <$2B.”
“Congrats to the @SpaceX Falcon Team! [deleted tweet]”
“@RenataKonkoly @Erdayastronaut And booster used to be 70m, but this required an awkward half barrel width of steel, so now it’s 69m”
“@Erdayastronaut @SpaceX cgi irl”
“@Starlink Sandy Poon ftw 😂 Made it to #4 overall and #1 hardcore Druid https://t.co/DsIalpFRGt”
“@smartass505 @ZainS180 @VikingRocket @WholeMarsBlog Oh man, this year has been such a supply chain nightmare & it’s not over! I will provide an updated product roadmap on next earnings call.”
“@aaronburnett Starship will profoundly affect the destiny of humanity”
“@arstechnica @SciGuySpace Falcon 9 is almost always at max capacity. When it has “spare” performance, it flies back to land, which costs much less than using a droneship. Our fundamental constraint is mass to orbit per unit time. Last year, SpaceX launched roughly double payload mass of rest of world.”
“SpaceX is still in the early stages of developing advanced micro-satellites operating in large formations. Announcement in 2 to 3 months.”

“@SpaceX In a few years, we will finally have a Raptor 3/4 vacuum version (giant nozzle) that has an Isp of 380”
“@WholeMarsBlog It would be great, but subject to board and shareholder approval”
“@WholeMarsBlog Very sorry to hear that. Condolences to JB and his family.”
“Turns out MCT can go well beyond Mars, so will need a new name…”

“Target altitude of 40,600 km achieved. Thanks @SES_Satellites for riding on Falcon 9! Looking forward to future missions.”
“@ErcXspace @SpaceX @Erdayastronaut 🔥🔥”
“@WhatsupFranks @TeslaGong Currency is already digital! Decentralized crypto is an attempt to wrest power of currency dilution (pernicious form of taxation) & capital controls from governments. That said, I sure hope the cure is better than the disease! Mars/AI are essential to passing the great filter/s.”
“@Erdayastronaut @Teslaconomics @SpaceX We could build a lot more, but the next version of Raptor is really the one to scale up production. We begin testing it in McGregor within a week or so. Regenerative cooling and secondary flow paths have been made integral to the whole engine, thus no heat shield is required.…”
“@thesheetztweetz Chris was an early employee of SpaceX, and made a significant contribution, but was not a cofounder”
“@FutureJurvetson @SpaceX Definitely one of the strangest meetings I’ve ever experienced. @adeoressi was there too.”
