“@WholeMarsBlog The path to overwhelming victory is clear, but a massive amount of work remains”

“@bluemoondance74 @ThugsAndMiracle @tfspeakcies @DearHistorians @DeepintoHistory @HellenisticPod @TrueConsPod @IWBpodcast @Coffincast @CacheHistory @AgeofVictoria @ForYourRefPod @WWIIPodcast @namelessdeadpod @ZombieFishbowl @AgeofNapoleon Raptor is making great progress! Just finished an engineering review with SpaceX Propulsion. Engine SN 17 is about to ship to McGregor with some holiday style 🎄😀 https://t.co/3JNIyxY9H0”

“@MarcusHouseGame Rapid & complete rocket reuse, low cost propellant, orbital refilling & propellant production at destination are the four essential elements of making life multiplanetary”

“@SawyerMerritt Cybertrucks get preferential parking, as they look much more futuristic than normal cars and are poetically aligned with the stainless steel of Starship”

“@breezefps Starlink inter-satellite laser links should be operational by end of year. This will dramatically reduce global latency. Light travels ~40% faster in vacuum/air than in fiber optic cables & satellite path length is shorter (cables follow coastlines).”

“@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.”

“@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.”

“@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”

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

“@WholeMarsBlog Tesla has great respect for software engineering, they do not”

“@S3XYstarship @PPathole @Gfilche @MadeInTheUSANJ Yeah, although I hesitate to admit that, because there are a lot of people that foam at the mouth if you even mention his name!”

“@danpiemont Thank you for the thoughtful rebuttal. To the best of my knowledge, none of the rideshare missions have lost money. I do hope that rocket companies focus on reusability. That is the fundamental breakthrough needed for humanity to become a spacefaring civilization. Falcon is…”

“@JasonDanheiser @WholeMarsBlog @28delayslater Self-driving cars & useful humanoid robots require a sophisticated understanding of reality. I am increasingly convinced that they are on the path to solving AGI. Should AGI be solved? I don’t know, but humanity is moving rapidly in this direction whether I like it or not.”

“RT @johnkrausphotos: Falcon 9 transits the 100% full Moon during tonight’s 8:53:30pm ET launch of 21 Starlink satellites from Florida 🚀🌕 ht…”

“@MeetLuis @WARREZ420 @WholeMarsBlog Rawlinson was never chief engineer. He arrived after Model S prototype was made, left before things got tough & was only ever responsible for body engineering, not powertrain, battery, software, production or design.”

“@TLPN_Official @SpaceX Depending on progress with Booster 4, we might try a 9 engine firing on Booster 3”

“@CSI_Starbase Agreed, we recently made this change & many others. An intense effort is underway to achieve robust engine containment in case of RUD to protect booster, other engines & launch ring.”

“Sabotage of the rocket is unlikely, but this article has some great theories :) https://t.co/1fCRbZvRHo https://theringer.com/ranking-potential-saboteurs-of-elon-musks-spacex-venture-ff66e7e2b23f#.kdgjprg5c”

“@WholeMarsBlog The esthetics of the new rendering will improve”

“@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 @TJ_Cooney @lrocket @SpaceX @FelixSchlang @MarcusHouseGame He became a big fan of methane, but was not pushing it initially. That came from me reading about Soviet methane engine tests that got over 380 Isp. At that Isp, a subcooled methane stage gets slightly better delta-V than a hydrogen stage.”

“Conducted hold-down firing of returned Falcon rocket. Data looks good overall, but engine 9 showed thrust fluctuations.”

“@Erdayastronaut @SpaceX Absolutely, but to move to Mk3 design. This had some value as a manufacturing pathfinder, but flight design is quite different.”

“@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.”

“@TashaARK Additive manufacturing of parts is still far too costly for cars, but can rapidly create tooling to accelerate pace of innovation. It’s already sensible for rocket engine parts. To the best of our knowledge, SpaceX is 2 or 3 years ahead of other companies in use of additive.”

“@spacesudoer Shana is awesome. Many years ago, I asked her to lead the early VTOL development of Falcon (aka Grasshopper) and she did great work. Now, Shana is a senior member of the Starship engineering team.”

“RT @SpaceX: Falcon 9 lifts off from pad 40 in Florida, delivering 23 @Starlink satellites to the constellation ahead of completing our firs…”

“@Erdayastronaut Making a fully reusable orbital rocket of any design is one of the hardest engineering problems of all time. Much, much harder than going to the Moon, which is why it still hasn’t been solved. I am cautiously optimistic that Starship will achieve full reusability next year.”

“@Neopork85 @SpaceX @NASASpaceflight @austinbarnard45 @whoisheartbreak @Erdayastronaut @FelixSchlang @MarcusHouseGame @SpaceToday1 More great renderings! Significant improvements coming to the welds.”

“@MarcusHouseGame @bcart03 @nextspaceflight @NASASpaceflight Starship legs are one of the hardest problems. Externally mounted legs require shielding, which adds mass. Wider stance adds mass. Shock absorbers add mass. That said, we need better legs.”

“RT @Starlink: Devastating to hear of the earthquake’s toll on Thailand and Myanmar. The SpaceX team is prepared to provide Starlink kits to…”

“@shanaka86 Starlink satellite maneuvering is done with heuristics (conventional software), not AI”

“@Commercial_Crew @AstroBehnken @Astro_Doug Culmination of a truly incredible amount of work by @SpaceX & @NASA engineering, along with support of all International @Space_Station countries”

“RT @Starlink: In support of those impacted by flooding in Texas, Starlink is providing Mini kits for search and rescue efforts – ensuring c…”

“@28delayslater @PPathole @SpaceX It’s basically the plot of Fallout: New Vegas”

“RT @SpaceX: Super Heavy is designed to be a fully and rapidly reusable rocket, eventually bringing aircraft-like operations to the world of…”

“@PPathole @jack Still early stages on that. Getting Starship reliably to orbit, then achieving full & immediate reusability of both stages is by far top priority.”

“@PPathole @johnkrausphotos @SpaceX Two of the engines need slight repairs, so will be switched out”

“@ThierryBreton In all seriousness, SpaceX hopes to offer travel to Mars to anyone who wants to go, bearing in mind that it will be like a long sea voyage in centuries past – dangerous and uncomfortable, but great adventure! Becoming multiplanetary ensures the long-term survival of life.”

“@ID_AA_Carmack The right way to grade any technology is not comparing it to competitors (too easy), but comparing it to the limit of physics. That is, for example, how we grade Starlink latency, which shows that there is still a *lot* of room for improvement! Same for $/ton to Mars.”
