“Great work by the SpaceX Falcon team launching 14 times in a single month!”
“Congratulations to the @SpaceX and @NASA teams for another safe astronaut return! Thank you to @POTUS for prioritizing this mission! [@SpaceX] Splashdown of Dragon confirmed – welcome back to Earth, Nick, Suni, Butch, and Aleks!”
“Despite loss of many tiles and a damaged flap, Starship made it all the way to a soft landing in the ocean! Congratulations @SpaceX team on an epic achievement!!”
“Starship is now more than twice as powerful as the Saturn V Moon rocket and, in a year or so, it will be three times as powerful at 10,000 metric tons of thrust. More importantly, it is designed to be fully reusable, burning ~80% liquid oxygen and ~20% liquid methane (very low…”
“May Starship serve as a beacon of hope for the future”
“SpaceX just achieved peak download speed of 17Mb/s from satellite direct to unmodified Samsung Android phone https://t.co/JqPHmkriv0”
“The first Starlink satellite direct to cell phone constellation is now complete. This will enable unmodified cellphones to have Internet connectivity in remote areas. Bandwidth per beam is only ~10Mb, but future constellations will be much more capable.”
“Emerging from Dragon for spacewalk https://t.co/OfV8uB3ycd”
“Successful ocean landing of Starship! We will do one more ocean landing of the ship. If that goes well, then SpaceX will attempt to catch the ship with the tower.”
“Mars is The New World [@teslaownersSV] The Starship will extend life beyond earth. The first ever designed rocket to go to Mars. )”
“Starlink now operating on over 1000 aircraft! Using Starlink on a plane feels like you’re on a high speed ground fiber connection.”
“This is the first time humans have been in orbit around the poles of Earth! [@SpaceX] First views of Earth's polar regions from Dragon”
“Many remote schools and hospitals depend on SpaceX’s Starlink! SpaceX will provide Internet service to users in Brazil for free until this matter is resolved, as we cannot receive payment, but don’t want to cut anyone off.”
“Starship hot stage separation https://t.co/iGA2xJ0PRn”
“Dragon docks with @Space_Station. Strange to think that they’re both traveling at ~25 times speed of sound!”
“Congratulations @SpaceX team! https://t.co/m5pV56OaeZ”
“Although Boeing got $4.2 billion to develop an astronaut capsule and SpaceX only got $2.6 billion, SpaceX finished 4 years sooner. Note, the crew capsule design of Dragon 2 has almost nothing in common with Dragon 1. Too many non-technical managers at Boeing.”
“Wow, they really don’t get it. Mars is critical to the long-term survival of consciousness. Also, I’m not going to ask any venture capitalists for money. I realize that it makes no sense as an investment. That’s why I’m gathering resources.”
“The astronauts were only supposed to be up there for 8 days and now have been there for 8 months. SpaceX could have sent up another Dragon and brought them home 6 months ago, but the Biden White House (not NASA) refused to allow it. President Trump asked to bring them back as… [@amuse] NASA: Turns out Elon Musk was telling the truth. Biden refused to let the stranded astronauts to come home last year for political reasons. )”
“To the stars! @SpaceX & @xAI are now one company [@xai] One Team 🚀 https://x.ai/news/xai-joins-spacex”
“Cool @Starlink [@dhh] Playing @Fortnite at 30,000 ft with ping 49-60 on @AlaskaAir's new Starlink internet is crazy!!”
“Vote for @realDonaldTrump if you want humanity to make it to Mars!”
“View from Falcon upper stage as it departs Earth for interplanetary orbit”
“My car is orbiting Earth and Mars 🤷♂️ [@MarioNawfal] ASTRONOMERS MISTOOK ELON’S ROADSTER FOR AN ASTEROID.. NO, FOR REAL! Astronomers hilariously mistook Elon’s Roadster for an asteroid this month. Seven years after its Falcon Heavy launch, the car drifted past Mars into the asteroid belt, only to swing back 150,000 miles from… )”
“SpaceX & Tesla continue to execute extremely well, despite being large companies”
“Congratulations to the @SpaceX team on passing 3 million customers in 99 countries! And thanks to you for buying @Starlink!”
“Starship flies again next month https://t.co/I08L5oaRA4”
“Starship static fire successful! [@SpaceX] Full-duration static fire for the first time on Starship V3”
“Congrats to the @SpaceX Falcon team on completing 3 successful launches this weekend!”
“Starlink direct from satellite to cell phone Internet connection starts beta test in 3 days [@MarioNawfal] STARLINK’S NEXT BIG THING: CELL SERVICE FROM SPACE SpaceX is testing a game-changing Starlink upgrade: Direct-to-Cell satellites that connect mobile phones to cellular service anywhere on Earth—even in the middle of nowhere. These satellites act as “cell towers in space,”… )”
“The biggest technology challenge remaining for Starship is a fully & immediately reusable heat shield. Being able to land the ship, refill propellant & launch right away with no refurbishment or laborious inspection. That is the acid test.”
“The next generation Starlink satellites, which are so big that only Starship can launch them, will allow for a 10X increase in bandwidth and, with the reduced altitude, faster latency”
“33 Raptor engines with enough thrust to lift a skyscraper off its foundations [@SpaceX] Raptor engines powering liftoff and landing of Super Heavy )”
“Starlink antennas use an internally developed, electronically steered phased array tight beam that is more advanced than the best military technology”
“Dragon coming in like a blazing meteor visible from San Francisco [@NShelly] Amazing @SpaceX @NASA”
“Starlink now constitutes roughly 2/3 of all active Earth satellites”
“Starlink is particularly great for remote locations. It works whether you’re at the top of a mountain in the Arctic or in a crater in Madagascar!”
“Falcon Heavy https://t.co/g6Ix8RLgVS”
“That’s just plain cruel. The driver did nothing to deserve this. [@WholeMarsBlog] Democrats are now attacking working class rideshare drivers for driving cars that don’t pollute”
“If you look closely, you can see a human walking around the base of the rocket. Each Raptor rocket engine produces twice as much thrust as all 4 engines on a 747. There are 33 Raptor engines powering the Starship rocket booster. https://t.co/VHLGlJWtoJ”
“Crazy [@amuse] OH CANADA: British Columbia Premier David Eby said he was removing Tesla from its EV rebate program because of Elon Musk in violation of the Canadian Human Rights Act. Perhaps Elon should ban Canada from SpaceX and Starlink in retaliation.”
“SpaceX created the first fully reusable rocket stage and, much more importantly, made the reuse economically viable. Making life multiplanetary is fundamentally a cost per ton to Mars problem. It currently costs about a billion dollars per ton of useful payload to the surface…”
“Starlink [@Austen] 400 mbps on an airplane. Unbelievable.”
“Nice shot [@Erdayastronaut] If you showed me this video 5 years ago, you couldn't convince me it was real, let alone a shot our team could capture. So proud of the Everyday Astronaut / @considercosmos team for continuing to up our game every launch to capture these historic moments @SpaceX @elonmusk )”
“Nice of him to say [@ElonClipsX] JPMorgan CEO Jamie Dimon: Elon is our Einstein. It's rational he checks our government efficiency. “You’ve got to look at Elon, at SpaceX, Tesla, Neuralink – the guy is our Einstein. I'd like to be helpful to him and his companies as much as we can. I think it is completely… )”
“Starlink is not allowed to have an Internet provider license in South Africa for the sole reason that I am not Black. This is not ok. [@cb_doge] "There are 140 laws in South Africa that basically give strong preference to if you are a black South African and not otherwise. Starlink is not allowed to operate in South Africa, because I’m not black." 一 Elon Musk”
“Two Dragons 🐉 🐉 ready for flight”
“Congrats @SpaceX Falcon team on 50 successful missions already this year! Highest flight rate of any rocket ever.”
“The Martians will decide how they are ruled. I recommend direct, rather than representative, democracy. Uncrewed Starships landing on Mars in ~2 years, perhaps with crewed versions passing near Mars, and crewed Starships heading there in ~4 years are all possible.”
