“@NASASpaceflight Needs to be level & match booster fittings. We will find out on ~Tuesday.”

“@justpaulinelol Maybe on Starship? It’s def got the payload capacity …”

“RT @iam_smx: Elon Musk's Starlink is not allowed to operate in South Africa simply because Elon isn’t black, absolutely shameful. https://t…”

“@WholeMarsBlog Would be cool to make a game using Tesla Sim that’s literally your city & neighborhood, down to skid marks on road & then inject fantasy/sci-fi elements”

“@WalterIsaacson Accurate. [Technical note: Linux in 1999 was still early days, whereas Windows had a whole video game dev community to draw upon. In later years with SpaceX & Tesla, I obviously went with Linux. Also, Max was unequivocally wrong that the site wouldn’t work with Windows. It…”

“@Devon_Eriksen_ @JoelSercel You need to get mass from a substrate, like the Moon or Mars, to grow a major civilization, which obviously requires vast amounts of mass. It is extremely inefficient to keep moving the mass out of some planetary gravity well to grow and the asteroid belt is too far away and too… https://t.co/szkQy2bsVw https://x.com/i/web/status/2022026590738075848”

“@Erdayastronaut @inspiration4x Yeah. We’d use our Ka parabolics or laser links for Dragon, Starship or other spacecraft as soon as they got above cloud level.”

“Provided Dragon 2 demo missions go well, SpaceX is highly confident of being able to fly US astronauts in 2018 https://t.co/usUto6QSi7 http://www.theverge.com/2017/2/16/14640618/nasa-spacex-boeing-astronaut-iss-2018”

“@flcnhvy @DJSnM Neuralink this month & Tesla next month, SpaceX probably October. We will have made a lot of progress by then. Might have a prototype booster hop done by then.”

“@PPathole @Teslarati @13ericralph31 If we are able to make life self-sustaining on Mars, we will have passed one of the greatest filters. That then sets us up to become interstellar. Earth is ~4.5B years old, but life is still not multiplanetary and it is extremely uncertain how much time is left to become so.”

“@flcnhvy @SpaceX Small note: latch on post near base is gone & powered Ethernet wire is less obtrusive in production version”

“RT @SpaceX: Initial Super Heavy V3 and Starbase Pad 2 activation campaign complete, wrapping up several days of testing that loaded cryogen…”

“RT @cb_doge: "I will die in America. I'm not going anywhere. I might go to Mars but that will be part of America." 🇺🇸 一 Elon Musk https://…”

“@WholeMarsBlog In my opinion, yes”

“@Scobleizer As I mention in that Joe Rogan episode, I don’t think getting stoned is super helpful for productivity and I obviously have no idea how to smoke a joint 😂 Following that episode, I had to get randomly drug-tested several times a year for almost three years for SpaceX to…”

“Dragon splashdown off the California coast http://t.co/4Bvfmei8I3”

“@WholeMarsBlog @FutureJurvetson @Tesla @karpathy Bot is not directly on the path of accelerating a sustainable energy future, but it aspirationally improves the probability that the future is good”

“@Erdayastronaut @Caspar_Stanley No, bottom static aero pushes engine section back, counteracting Starship’s low center of mass on reentry caused by the engine section. Aiming for 60 to 70 deg angle of attack during high heating portion of flight. Don’t want to reenter with engines blasted by plasma.”

“@PPathole @arstechnica @SciGuySpace If 2021 manifest is met, SpaceX will do ~75% of total Earth payload to orbit with Falcon. A single Starship is designed to do in a day what all rockets on Earth currently do in a year. Even so, ~1000 Starships will take ~20 years to build a self-sustaining city on Mars.”

“@AstroBehnken @SpaceX @NASA @Space_Station Manufactured only 5 mins from LAX!”

“@SciGuySpace Zach made a significant contribution to SpaceX & is a friend. I wish him well as he tries something new.”

“@DannyLaShep With steel membrane wings like a Dragon, we may be able to lower Starship’s orbital reentry temp to ~1000 degrees C, which would allow the whole surface to be uncooled bare metal”

“@AlexFinnX It is such an honor to work with the incredible SpaceX team”

“@WholeMarsBlog @tkrisher He’s actually a lobbyist, not a journalist. There are many who pose as the latter while behaving like the former. No integrity. Indeed, there were no safety issues. The car simply slowed to ~2 mph & continued forward if clear view with no cars or pedestrians.”

“@Gfilche @MadeInTheUSANJ I’m just talking about the mid-term elections in November. Not sure that there is a third party candidate. It’s rather hard to support a party when prominent members of that party keep attacking me and sidelining Tesla & SpaceX!”

“@nextspaceflight Payload reduction due to reusability of booster & fairing is <40% for F9 & recovery & refurb is <10%, so you’re roughly even with 2 flights, definitely ahead with 3”

“@kevinrose @Starlink And it will improve significantly when Starship starts launching the third generation satellites at 350km altitude (5 ms speed of light round trip latency) with larger antennas that allow for multi-gigabit bandwidth”

“@teslaownersSV Starship V4 will have 42 engines when 3 more Raptors are added to a significantly longer ship. That will fly in 2027. Starship V3 is a massive upgrade from the current V2 and should be through production and testing by end of year, with heavy flight activity next year.”

“Long exposure of the Falcon 9 predawn launch from Cape Canaveral http://t.co/jQHxIEhuJb”

“@newscientist This is actually a good thing btw. China is making amazing progress in space, rapidly iterating on rocket & space station technology. Great respect.”

“@Cmdr_Hadfield @SpaceX Thanks Chris! A fully and immediately reusable orbital heat shield, which (as you know) has never been made before, is the single toughest problem remaining. Being able to iterate with many ideas on many ships is key to solving this.”

“@WholeMarsBlog The long-term outcome for Tesla is very high”

“@wholemars Demis is calling artificial super intelligence AGI, because if AI can figure out relativity and can be copied to have millions of them, it will be vastly superhuman as a collective”

“@DJSnM @SpaceX I’m told that no ocelot has been seen in the Boca Chica area for ~40 years. We have many motion-activated cameras around Starbase – thousands of clips of coyotes, dogs & cats, but no ocelots.”

“@WhatsupFranks … while simultaneously leading Tesla to be the world’s most valuable car company (Model Y is the selling vehicle on Earth) and SpaceX to be the world’s most valuable space company (~80% of all payload to orbit last year). Whatever I’m doing, I should obviously keep doing it!”

“Good article on the interplanetary transport system on Gizmodo https://t.co/nysjRDQWFz https://news.google.com/news/ampviewer?caurl=http%3A%2F%2Fgizmodo.com%2Fthis-is-how-elon-musk-plans-to-build-a-city-on-mars-up-1787146547%2Famp#pt0-433220”

“@Bob_Richards One rocket, slightly toasted”

“@AdamLowisz Note, Starlink terminals can be used for defense infrastructure communications, schools, hospitals, personal, etc, but terms of service do not allow for offensive military use, as it is a civilian commercial system”

“@WholeMarsBlog Tesla Autopilot was literally named after the term used in aviation. Also, what about Autobahn!?”

“@ID_AA_Carmack I hope so. Wings don’t work on the moon at all and def not well on Mars. Also, no runways.”

“@flcnhvy Pitch control requires more force than yaw & much more force than roll. Also, grid fins closer to or in the wake of the booster are less effective. However, pretty good aero control can technically be achieved with only 2 grid fins, with some effect on accuracy.”

“RT @SpaceX: Super Heavy has splashed down in the Gulf of America, gathering data for the next generation booster https://t.co/o72ciKBZYm”

“@SP_LimitReviews @Tesla @CodingMark @Manic_Marge @teslainventory @WholeMarsBlog Lot of good work happening on Tesla sound codec & audio software in general. Aiming for maximum music dopamine in your brain!”

“@StarshipFairing @Phrankensteyn @SpaceX @smvllstvrs @Erdayastronaut @austinbarnard45 @NASASpaceflight @spacex360 @ErcXspace If Earth’s gravity was even 10% lower, I’d be all for single stage to orbit”

“@WholeMarsBlog Almost ready with FSD Beta V9.0. Step change improvement is massive, especially for weird corner cases & bad weather. Pure vision, no radar.”

“@cb_doge @pfigueiredobr2 Starlink will continue to support the Brazilian military even though our bank accounts in Brazil have been illegally frozen by Judge De Voldemort”

“@Rainmaker1973 When we were launching Falcon from Kwajalein, those crabs would break into our soda can storage & crack open the cans. They particularly seemed to like Sprite. Pretty funny seeing a giant crab drinking soda lol.”

“@marmars Please add your suggestions for features & fixes in this reply thread. We want video on this platform to be the best in the world.”

“RT @JonErlichman: Things Elon Musk launched or unveiled in less than 10 years: Boring Co. Crew Dragon Cybercab  Cybertruck DOGE Falcon Hea…”

“@cb_doge More than twice the power of the Saturn V Moon rocket. Next version will be 3X.”
