“@Space_Strategy @DJSnM Misses the point. Repeating Apollo would just be a sad remake of a great 60’s movie. We need to go far beyond Apollo and make life multiplanetary with Mars.”

“@QuinnKupec @SpaceX @UofMaryland Yeah, exactly! Would be great to hear your thoughts. We’re going to try a few approaches. Can def be done, just about minimizing mass.”
“@Agent_KO @Starflightgame @SpaceX @starcontrolgame What would be great is original Elite”
“@MemesOfMars @Teslarati The mechanical attachment mechanism. We need to make sure they won’t fall off due to vibration & acoustics.”
“Now back to work. Intense months ahead as we ramp production of rockets and cars.”
“@marstronauts @Erdayastronaut @JaneidyEve @13ericralph31 @SPEXcast @bluemoondance74 @Orion_Sword @Some1gee @SpaceX Vacuum nozzle engines are only used in (near) vacuum conditions. Sea level engines need to gimbal rapidly & at high angle for landing. Larger nozzle leaves less room to move & increases moment of inertia.”
“@flcnhvy @Malcolmmarsman @marstronauts @Erdayastronaut @JaneidyEve @13ericralph31 @SPEXcast @bluemoondance74 @Orion_Sword @Some1gee @SpaceX First flights would have fewer, so as to risk less loss of hardware. Probably around 20.”
“@benoitdenayer @navincho @katlinegrey Essentially, yes. Great engineering talent, but should focus on reusable rockets for purpose of a permanent human base on the moon and self-sustaining city on Mars.”

“@EMostaque @Yuhu_ai_ 4.20 is doing very well on this front. Parsed physics vs hearsay very well when asked about the probable fuel impact of Starlink on a 1 hour 737 flight (~0.13%).”
“@DJSnM They will, but the hydraulic system is closed loop, so no fluid lost. They do need more power & energy, but rocket has plenty of that.”

“@leechy3 @kausthav_ray @SpaceX SX 300 & soon SX 500. Kind of a modern version of Inconel superalloys. High strength at temperature, extreme oxidation resistance. Needed for ~800 atmosphere, hot, oxygen-rich turbopump on Raptor rocket engine.”
“@SmallPettingZoo @Rob_2628 @Starlink Much easier than Lilith, actually, but the catch is that you only get one attempt for each set of stones and the stones are hard to get. Lilith has almost no penalty for as many attempts as you want.”

“@longmier @onenzofficial @Starlink Cool”
“@marshall5912 @buckycovington @MacTechGenius About 2% of Tesla, incl salaried & hourly, union & non-union were let go in annual review. Only known union person fired was a guy who repeatedly threatened non-union supporters verbally & on social media & lied about it.”
