“@WevolverApp @SpaceX Dragon 2 was originally designed to land with thrusters, but it’s not the right architecture for heavy transport to the moon or Mars, so we decided not to qualify it for thruster landings”

“@WholeMarsBlog What has become absolutely clear is that the plethora of self-driving corner cases can only be solved with real-world optical intelligence. This is how humans designed the road system to work. Once you have that in silicon form, everything else is just icing on the cake.”

“@SPEXcast @TrungTPhan Starship will be crushingly cost-effective for Earth orbit or moon missions as soon as it’s operational & rapid reuse is happening. Mars is a lot harder, because Earth & Mars only align every 26 months, so ship reuse is limited to ~dozen times over 25 to 30 year life of ship.”

“@WholeMarsBlog Normally, competitive pressure would force Apple to lower fees, but Apple & Android have a duopoly on phones. When interface familiarity is taken into account, it’s basically a monopoly. The effective 30% sales tax Apple charges is hidden from users or there would be an outcry.”

“@Montrey82631182 @Maks_NAFO_FELLA Oh hi fucktard. That Crimea strike was done before SpaceX received a sanctions exemption approval from the US government to provide connectivity in Crimea, so it would have been a felony crime for us to turn Starlink on at that time.”

“@torybruno @ChadBowman0 @thesheetztweetz Now, this sort of nonsense happens all the time with government contracts & everyone knows it. However, in this case, it is money diverted from making life multiplanetary, which is the goal of SpaceX, vs the ULA goal of maximizing dividends to Lockheed & Boeing. Not ok.”

“@skorusARK When even someone in California, home of Silicon Valley, needs Internet so bad that they bolt a Starlink dish to the hood of their car, you know there’s a serious unmet need! https://t.co/WLcEu4IrJw https://www.cnbc.com/2021/07/02/chp-tickets-driver-with-apparent-spacex-starlink-dish-on-hood.html”

“RT @SpaceX: To all those who have served, including the 1,800+ members of the SpaceX team, Happy Veterans Day! https://t.co/FpUgCCMLMN”

“RT @SawyerMerritt: Elon Musk just made a surprise appearance on tonight’s Starship livestream: https://t.co/UFFqofrdwO”

“@WholeMarsBlog Tesla is waiting for EU approval (sigh)”

“RT @SpaceX: Dragon above the @Space_Station as it approaches for docking https://t.co/Q3kBjO02Zp”

“RT @SpaceX: Dragon is go for final approach and docking with the @Space_Station https://t.co/kW2FRHsPgb”

“@WholeMarsBlog We’re aiming for a significant improvement for owners outside the US around March, depending on regulatory approvals”

“Support & advice from @NASA, @FAA, @AFPAA & others much appreciated. Please email any recordings of the event to report@spacex.com.”

“@engineers_feed @SpaceX @NASA Great work by SpaceX team & very much appreciate faith in Starship by @NASA!”

“RT @Starlink: Starlink keeps you connected as you explore our planet 🛰️🌏❤️ Happy Earth Day! https://t.co/Mv8Ifj55Mk”

“@Rawasen_ SpaceX needs to demonstrate more progress with Starship, but that will hopefully happen rapidly”

“@cb_doge SpaceX team will make it happen”

“@SawyerMerritt @SpaceX Appreciated”

“RT @DimaZeniuk: All of these are happening soon: – X to launch X Money and X Chat – Unsupervised FSD in Austin, Texas – Starship Flight 9…”

“@Adamklotz_ @AaronS5_ @crheller @SpaceX More ground stations & less foolish packet routing will make the biggest differences. Looking at speed of light as ~300km per millisecond & satellite altitude of ~550km, average photon round-trip time is only ~10ms, so a lot of silly things have to happen to drive ping >20ms.”

“RT @WholeMarsBlog: Don’t like the cuts happening in the federal government? Well then you shouldn’t have killed Pnut the squirrel…”

“@CollinRugg Happy that SpaceX could help”

“@AlecStapp SpaceX will probably be there one day”

“@WholeMarsBlog Assuming user approves warning & agrees to drive carefully, it will download latest QA-tested FSD “Beta” build as soon as car connects to wifi”

“@WholeMarsBlog Eventually, you will probably be able to upload a good approximation of your memories & mind state to “the cloud” with the ability to download it to a humanoid robot. You obviously won’t be quite the same as you are today.”

“@WholeMarsBlog Tesla would be happy to do such deals”

“@WallStreetSilv Max payload to standard Earth reference orbit is actually ~180 tons for Starship when it is fully reusable and ~300 tons if expendable. Latter number is the apples-to-apples number comparing Starship to Saturn V. >100 tons to the Starlink orbit is the operational spec minimum.”

“@astro_g_dogg Took more work to make F9 booster reuse cost-effective than went into recovering it in the first place. This is an important point. Things finally clicked into place with Block 5. My hat is off to everyone at SpaceX, NASA, Space Force, FAA & suppliers who helped make it happen.”

“@TurkeyBeaver @Starlink @fema @JoeBiden Approval received”

“@ashleevance DoD provided about 3% of the Falcon 1 development cost. Appreciated, certainly, but should be seen in context.”

“@farzyness I hope it continues to be routine! You know the revolution in rocket reusability is succeeding when it happens so many times that it no longer makes the news.”

“@WholeMarsBlog Seriously, what an idiot! All that actually matters is how many billions of tons of carbon are moved from underground to the atmosphere. Everything else is immaterial. Solve sustainable energy on the surface (solar/wind/nuclear/geothermal) and you solve it all.”

“RT @cb_doge: BREAKING: SpaceX’s Cellular Starlink now works on Apple Watches in Canada and Japan, letting you connect directly to satellite…”

“@TeslaOwnersEBay @stevenmarkryan @WholeMarsBlog @boringcompany Later this year. Definitely needs to happen!”

“@paulg Attempting to land giant spaceships on Mars will happen in that timeframe, but humans are only going after the landings are proven to be reliable. 4 years is best case for humans, might be 6, hopefully not 8.”

“@EvaFoxU @WholeMarsBlog Such a dapper fellow!”

“@peterrhague Almost all that matters regarding Starship is that it enables consciousness to extend permanently beyond Earth. Everything else is in the noise.”

“@twatterbaas @Starlink Waiting for regulatory approval”

“@WholeMarsBlog I appreciate the note. Frankly, negative feedback is good. Keeps ego in check. https://t.co/iVRzvuATLb https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=X6R6xP6nxOk”

“@justpaulinelol @Erdayastronaut @SpaceX Wow, a lot has happened in 10 years!”

“@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 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 @elonmusk: @cb_doge Yes. That will happen on either the 2nd or 3rd Earth-Mars launch window, so roughly 5 to 7 years from now. The key…”
