“@WholeMarsBlog One more production release of pure vision this week, then FSD beta 9 a week or two later. V9.0 FSD is also pure vision. Foundational improvements are immense.”

“@Erdayastronaut Great shot! Btw, Starship Super Heavy will not have an entry burn. Delta-v is shifted more to the ship, so booster entry Q & heating is lower.”

“@DJSnM We could stretch the Falcon Heavy upper stage & increase this a lot, but FH already covers all known payloads. Starship, especially with orbital refilling & dedicated deep space variants (no heatshield, flaps or header tanks) will take this up orders of magnitude.”

“@OliOnOrbit Falcon 9 is technically a heavy lift rocket. If flown as an expendable, payload to orbit is similar to Delta IV Heavy (~25 tons to LEO). And Starship is ~10 times bigger.”

“@NASASpaceflight Starship/Super Heavy, which is ~10X mass of Zenit, will mostly launch from ocean spaceports long-term”

“RT @libsoftiktok: We’re going to plant a flag on Mars!! 🚀 https://t.co/IaB37T8VQl”

“@thesheetztweetz @Thom_astro @SpaceX @ISS_Research @Space_Station Great shots by @Thom_astro”

“@ajtourville @SpaceX That is exactly the problem. The Biden/Harris administration absolutely could override the California Coastal Commission, but they are doing everything they can to damage SpaceX.”

“@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!”

“@WholeMarsBlog True. We are working on a feature where the car identifies probable viable parking spaces. You tap on one, exit the vehicle and it parks there.”

“@ErcXspace @SpaceX @Erdayastronaut @MarcusHouseGame @FelixSchlang Great render. Note, there will need to be an arm that lifts booster to launch stand & ship to booster.”

“@VP @SpaceX Thank you on behalf of SpaceX”

“@WholeMarsBlog Tunneled under the road from one property to another. This is to test the new machine.”

“@SamTalksTesla @RationalEtienne @thirdrowtesla @wholemarslog @28delayslater @vincent13031925 @teslaownersSV Haha true”

“RT @SpaceX: Counting down to Starship's eleventh flight test. The launch window opens on Monday at 6:15 p.m. CT and weather is currently 80…”

“@WholeMarsBlog The probability of Tesla dying in 2008/2009 was very high. We closed our financing round at 6pm on Dec 24th – the last working hour of the last day before Tesla would otherwise bounce payroll.”

“@WholeMarsBlog FSD version 12 is a breakthrough”

“@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…”

“@rookisaacman @SpaceX It will truly be glorious when the ship is caught too and the whole stack immediately flies again! Full & immediate (no mandatory refurbishment) reusability with low cost propellant (almost 80% liquid oxygen, no helium pressurant) will mean a marginal cost per ton ~100 times…”

“@Erdayastronaut @SpaceX Great video. Couple notes: Raptor designed for subcooled CH4/O2, so propellant density & thrust increase up to ~8%, as needed for mission. 380 Isp & up to 50% thrust/weight improvement over time. Merlin thrust/weight doubled from V1, but Raptor is closer to optimum.”

“@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.”

“@SciGuySpace SpaceX will do orbital refilling several times next year with Starship V3. Because we are simply docking with ourself, this is a much easier problem than docking with the Space Station, which SpaceX already does several times a year.”

“@_TomCross_ Million tons to Mars requires R R R”

“@_rykllan @SpaceX @NASASpaceflight @FelixSchlang @MarcusHouse @bluemoondance74 The rocket fleet grows”

“@SpaceActivist88 @JeffGreason @peterrhague @SpaceNotJohn SpaceX will colonize Mars. The fundamental question is whether Earth civilization can maintain its technology level long enough for the colony to grow on its own, even if the supply ships stop coming. If yes, then humanity will pass the single-planet Fermi Great Filter.”

“@Erdayastronaut I talked about Falcon 9 & Heavy for over a decade!”

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

“RT @cb_doge: This picture was taken on Mars today. https://t.co/1UON0RzoEk”

“@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.”

“@SawyerMerritt Also, Starlink is still losing money! It is insanely difficult for a LEO communications constellation to avoid bankruptcy – that was the fate of every company that tried this before. When asked what the goal of Starlink was at a space conference, I said “not go bankrupt”.”

“@SamTwits My true moral error was creating Tesla & SpaceX at same time, while avoiding general mgmt chores at Tesla (focusing only on product & engineering). Tried to have my cake & eat it too, which failed.”

“@SciGuySpace We should have a base on the moon, a city on Mars”

“RT @Starlink: In response to the Canadian wildfires, Starlink is providing one month of free service to existing and new customers in the i…”

“RT @SpaceX: Splashdown of Dragon and the @framonauts confirmed – welcome back to Earth @satofishi, @astro_jannicke, @rprogge, and @Icetrek!…”

“@GokuAurelius @Erdayastronaut Roughly 800 to 1000 per year. That’s about what’s needed over ten years to create the fleet to build a self-sustaining city on Mars. City itself probably takes roughly 20 years, so hopefully it is built by ~2050.”

“@WholeMarsBlog Hardware 4 will ultimately be better, but all training is for Hardware 3, with HW4 running in emulation mode”

“@FutureJurvetson @_BryceTech @SpaceX Once Starship is flying frequently with real payloads next year, then SpaceX will probably deliver >95% of total Earth payload to orbit, despite others, especially China, continuing to grow. In 2027, maybe as high as 98%.”

“SpaceX & Tesla comp is same or better than other companies. Big diff is that we don't outsource manufacturing, retail sales or service.”

“@TheMarsSociety @NASA Some amount of cooperation would be good”

“@DonaldJTrumpJr @SpaceX @realDonaldTrump 🚀”

“@999BPM @tesla_adri @WholeMarsBlog No amount of money can defy physics”

“@WholeMarsBlog Just want to reiterate that there is no glass house (metaphors don’t count lol) built, under construction or planned! I’m not building any house of any kind anywhere. Period.”

“@TheBabylonBee He will rocket straight to the top!”

“@ajtourville A stainless steel Starship is essentially the same mass as an advanced carbon fiber or aluminum-lithium version, given that it is a reusable rocket, as steel can handle much higher heat loads, requiring less shielding, and its strength increases dramatically at cryogenic…”

“@Acyn This Community Note is false. SpaceX could have brought the astronauts back last year, but Biden pushed the return past the inauguration date. Legacy media is NOT a reliable source.”

“@WholeMarsBlog FSD will save millions of lives”

“RT @SERobinsonJr: STARLINK: Ontario will miss its 2025 rural broadband goal, pushing it to mid-2028. This is due to Ontario Premier Doug Fo…”

“@JonErlichman Starlink was *extremely* difficult to build. Thanks to an epic team and many years of hard work, it has succeeded.”

“@MarcusHouse @artzius Current plan is to increase base Raptor thrust to ~230 tons or ~500 million lbs & increase booster engine count to 32 or 33”

“@tobyliiiiiiiiii @RationalEtienne @SPEXcast @William_M_Brown @PPathole @thesheetztweetz @waEMD @SpaceX @SpaceXStarlink @WANationalGuard Oh yeah, Starship update coming in about 3 weeks. The design has coalesced. What is presented will actually be what flies to orbit as V1.0 with almost no changes.”
