“@WholeMarsBlog Earth is almost entirely solar-powered already. Without the sun, we’d just be a dark ice ball with some chemotrophic bacteria.”
“@shlomo_karhi We are not so naive. Per my post, no Starlink terminal has attempted to connect from Gaza. If one does, we will take extraordinary measures to confirm that it is used *only* for purely humanitarian reasons. Moreover, we will do a security check with both the US and Israeli…”
“@paulg The mass & difficulty required to build a space habitat like that is extreme. Far better to have a base on the moon & city on Mars.”
“@engineers_feed Due to lower gravity, you can travel from surface of Mars to surface of Earth fairly easily with a single stage rocket. Earth to Mars is vastly harder.”
“Btw, SpaceX is no longer planning to upgrade Falcon 9 second stage for reusability. Accelerating BFR instead. New design is very exciting! Delightfully counter-intuitive.”
“Great work by SpaceX Dragon team & Airborne! To be clear, we’ve only done 1 multi-parachute test of Mk3 design, so 9 more left to reach 10 successful tests in a row.”
“@SpaceX Fly my pretties, fly …”
“First two Starlink demo satellites, called Tintin A & B, deployed and communicating to Earth stations https://t.co/TfI53wHEtz”
“@WholeMarsBlog It used to be: “Internet guy will fail at rockets/cars!” Now it is: “Rockets/cars guy will fail at Internet!” Literally from same media outlets 🤣🤣”
“Friday Night Lights [@lmarena_ai] 🚨 Leaderboard Disrupted! Grok-4-fast by @xAI has arrived in the Arena, and it’s shaking things up! ⚡️ 🏆 #1 on the Search Leaderboard Tested under the codename “menlo,” Grok-4-fast-search just rocketed to the top spot with the community. 💠 Tied for #8 on the Text Leaderboard”
“@PPathole Most people have no idea Starship exists or how large this beast is! Body diameter (9m or 30 ft) is bigger than a 747 or A380. Starship thrust & mass are more than double Saturn V moon rocket. Making life multiplanetary means massive rockets. Got to be done.”
“@WholeMarsBlog Competition has nothing to do with it. There are serious AI risk issues.”
“@johnkrausphotos An implausible rocket on the beach”
“Another batch of Starlinks in orbit, 7 hours after the astronaut launch”
“Falcon Heavy remains go for launch at 1:30pm on Tuesday”
“SpaceX is accelerating rapidly. When Starship is launching several times a day in a few years, SpaceX will be ~99% of all Earth payload mass to orbit, even if the others triple their current launch rate. [@FutureJurvetson] 🚀 T͢h͢e͢ ͢Q͢3͢ ͢L͢a͢u͢n͢c͢h͢ ͢R͢e͢p͢o͢r͢t͢ ͢j͢u͢s͢t͢ ͢c͢a͢m͢e͢ ͢o͢u͢t͢🚀 For kg launched to orbit, SpaceX has 97% share for the U.S. and 83% globally. The eight Chinese launchers add up to 8.6%. Looking into the graph's magnifying box, IDF just nudged past Rocket Lab. https://x.com/i/web/status/1994495568291532883”
“True [@ApoStructura] There is this recurring narrative that SpaceX needs government funding to survive. Not only does SpaceX not rely on government contracts for the majority of it’s revenue, it’s actually saved the US government Billions of dollars by being far cheaper than the competition.”
“Was just up in the booster propulsion section. Damage appears to be minor, but we need to inspect all the engines. Best to do this in the high bay.”
“@SciGuySpace Provided there is no serious launch anomaly, SpaceX will deliver 80% of Earth’s payload to orbit this year. Not counting Starship.”
“Falcon about to launch Dragon to @Space_Station https://t.co/bDd3GxQXMC http://SpaceX.com”
“Solving cell phone dead zones with @Starlink [@MikeSievert] Today marks a huge step in @TMobile’s mission to end dead zones. T-Satellite is officially out of beta and available to anyone who wants it — including Verizon and AT&T customers! With 650+ satellites in orbit, the largest satellite-to-mobile constellation on the planet aims to”
“@PPathole @WholeMarsBlog The San Francisco office of the SEC were shameless puppets of Wall St shortseller sharks, while doing nothing to protect actual shareholders. That is why I lost all respect for them.”
“@WholeMarsBlog Future wars are all about the drones. Human crews of planes or tanks have no chance. One exception: a purely analog, human-controlled vehicle is far more resilient to EMF weapons.”
“@WholeMarsBlog Serious allegations deserve serious responses 🧐”
“Get the Performance terminal from @Starlink! [@Starlink] Starlink’s most rugged kit yet, Performance offers reliable high-speed internet (400+ Mbps download speeds) in the most extreme and remote environments.

“@ajtourville @Starlink After thinking it through, SpaceX Starlink will provide emergency services access for mobile phones for people in distress for free. This applies worldwide, subject to approval by country governments. Can’t have a situation where someone dies because they forgot or were unable…”

“@farzyness The priority shift is because I’m worried that a natural or manmade catastrophe stops the resupply ships coming from Earth, causing the colony to die out. We can make the Moon city self-growing in less than 10 years, but Mars will take 20+ years due to the 26 month iteration… https://t.co/stiaf8Tkpu https://x.com/i/web/status/2020910733697954282”
“First picture of SpaceX spacesuit. More in days to follow. Worth noting that this actually works… https://t.co/5ZtqkKiTQX https://www.instagram.com/p/BYIPmEFAIIn/”
“@WholeMarsBlog Agreed”
“One square mile on the surface receives ~2.5 Gigawatts of solar energy. That’s Gigawatts with a “G”. It’s ~30% higher in space. The Starlink global satellite network is entirely solar/battery powered. Factoring in solar panel efficiency (25%), packing density (80%) and usable…”
“If things go well, Falcon will launch about once a week on average in 2022, delivering ~2/3 of all Earth payload to orbit”
“@lexfridman They froze Starlink’s bank accounts too, despite Starlink being a separate company with different shareholders and having broken no laws and given no warning.”
“Starlink now in Antigua & Barbuda. Available in over 150 countries! [@Starlink] Starlink's high-speed, low-latency internet is now available in Antigua and Barbuda! 🛰️🇦🇬❤️ → http://starlink.com/antiguaandbarbuda”

“@FonsDK @SpaceX Probably more”
“@SpaceX Major launchpad upgrades should be complete in about a month, then another month of rocket testing on pad, then flight 2 of Starship”
“@BarackObama @NASA @SpaceX @Commercial_Crew Thank you on behalf of the people of SpaceX!”
“@WholeMarsBlog Macro conditions are difficult: energy in Europe, real estate in China & crazy Fed rates in USA”
“@SenBillNelson @NASA @SpaceX Much appreciated, SpaceX will not let NASA down!”

“We even did a Starlink video call on one airplane aloft to Starlink on another, far away, airplane aloft and it worked perfectly with no lag!”
“@ChristopherJM @FT @MehulAtLarge @felschwartz Bad reporting by FT. This article falsely claims that Starlink terminals & service were paid for, when only a small percentage have been. This operation has cost SpaceX $80M & will exceed $100M by end of year. As for what’s happening on the battlefield, that’s classified.”
