“@WholeMarsBlog They have no idea how hard FSD is. Only path to success imo is hardcore real-world AI software with dedicated NN inference acceleration ASICs in car, multibillion dollar NN training supercluster and 10+ billion miles of vehicle data. Good luck.”
“@astrodeven @SpaceX 👍”
“Flying with larger & significantly upgraded hypersonic grid fins. Single piece cast & cut titanium. Can take reentry heat with no shielding. https://t.co/SmyCCQRt2F https://x.com/spacex/status/878732650277617664”
“Sped up version of today's rocket landing on the Droneship Just Read the Instructions (guess it… https://t.co/0wFgXMgeqZ https://www.instagram.com/p/BVxysOlA04j/”
“@SpaceX Nice work, SpaceX team!”
“@AustinTeslaClub @RoschetzkyP @Tesla @TeslaNY @TeslaOwnersEBay @TeslaForThe_Win @jchybow @1stMarsColonist @EvaFoxU @heydave7 @gailalfa1 Also lasts much longer than normal roofs & is able to withstand hail & other medium-sized impacts”
“@WholeMarsBlog I tested the version 12 alpha build today. It is mind-blowing.”
“RT @SpaceX: Docking confirmed! https://t.co/zSdY3w0pOS”
“@TonyadeVitti @spideycyp_155 @WholeMarsBlog Pretty much”
“@spacex360 Exactly”
“@JohnnaCrider1 @stats_feed In the coming years, Boring Co will attempt to build a working Hyperloop. From a known physics standpoint, this is the fastest possible way of getting from one city center to another for distances less than ~2000 miles. Starship is faster for longer journeys.”
“@WholeMarsBlog FSD V11 rolled out at 11:11pm Pacific”
“@NASA @SpaceX @Space_Station @Commercial_Crew Dragon 2 was designed to land using thrusters, with parachutes as backup. Switched to chutes as primary, due to difficulty of proving safety, but Dragon can still do it. https://t.co/Mr7VFIQwWf https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=07Pm8ZY0XJI”
“@pbeisel I am a huge admirer of Nvidia and Jensen btw. That market cap is well-deserved. SpaceX AI and Tesla expect to continue ordering Nvidia chips at scale.”
“@WholeMarsBlog @karpathy Got to build those YouTube subscriptions!”
“Getting ready for flight of orbit-class Starship design”
“@iliketeslas @jurgen_nauditt Exactly! To be extremely clear, no matter how much I disagree with the Ukraine policy, Starlink will never turn off its terminals. I am simply stating that, without Starlink, the Ukrainian lines would collapse, as the Russians can jam all other communications! We would never…”
“@PPathole @SpaceX Absolutely”
“@wholemars Inevitable”
“@WholeMarsBlog I had too many bottles of Teslaquila!”
“@SpaceXMR Tries to launch some rockets – accidentally summons dark lord”
“@truth_tesla @MadeInTheUSANJ Yeah, the public has no idea how much Tesla and SpaceX have been attacked/undermined, because we aren’t unionized (yet offer highest pay in industry!) and this administration would rather a company be dead than not unionized”
“@Erdayastronaut @SpaceX For sure”
“@Erdayastronaut @SpaceX Starship payload is 250 to 300 tons to orbit in expendable mode. Improved thrust & Isp from Raptor will enable ~6000 ton liftoff mass.”
“@rockstardenied @SpaceX SpaceX Boca team is helping save the turtles”
“@wapodavenport 16 flights is extremely unlikely. Starship payload to orbit is ~150 tons , so max of 8 to fill 1200 ton tanks of lunar Starship. Without flaps & heat shield, Starship is much lighter. Lunar landing legs don’t add much (1/6 gravity). May only need 1/2 full, ie 4 tanker flights.”
“Sorry to hear about China launch failure today. I know how painful that is to the people who designed & built it. https://t.co/iOkj6egF3O http://www.cnn.com/2017/07/02/asia/china-rocket-launch/index.html”
“@WholeMarsBlog This will become very important over time”
“@Adamklotz_ @SpaceX Space”
“@spacex360 Ascent phase, transition to horizontal & control during free fall were good. A (relatively) small CH4 leak led to fire on engine 2 & fried part of avionics, causing hard start attempting landing burn in CH4 turbopump. This is getting fixed 6 ways to Sunday.”
“@teslaownersSV @SpaceX @NASA My old delta-v mug!”
“@arstechnica @SciGuySpace Given so many other companies are depending on this mission, it is getting even more scrutiny than a Starlink flight”
“@Teslarati Diess is right. Hydrogen is a staggeringly dumb form of energy storage for cars. Barely worth considering it for a rocket upper stage, which is its most compelling use.”
“That’s right provided the two Crew Dragon test flights go well. Hardware will def be ready.”
“@TheRealBuzz @SpaceX @NASA Thanks Buzz!”
“@muratpak My car is currently orbiting Mars”
“@cb_doge If I were Black, Starlink would have received a license to operate years ago”
“@WholeMarsBlog I just set it up right now and am writing this post through space. Took less than 5 mins. Easily carried in a backpack. This product will change the world.”
“@WholeMarsBlog 11.4.1 is promising”
“@archillect Red sky of Mars is Blue at dawn & dusk”
“Max thrust of 2550 tons will be almost 10% higher than Falcon Heavy demo mission last year”
“@somefoundersalt Exactly. Yglesias is incredibly deceptive and lacks any journalistic integrity. There is nothing monopolistic about rockets, any more than there is about aircraft. Just a matter of making the best product.”
“@Erdayastronaut @SpaceX @Caspar_Stanley @IzanRamos2002 Most importantly, we need to delete or thermally protect remaining secondary structure, so we can remove shrouds”
“@wapodavenport @WalterIsaacson @jeff_foust Interesting. Smart move by China. Expendable rockets have no future.”
“@SpaceX Pressure is slightly high in upper stage liquid oxygen tank. Review underway.”
“@thesheetztweetz Filing legal actions against SpaceX is *actually* his full-time job https://t.co/XifRICQ62k”
“@newscientist ... say scientists — among other insights gained — after a large vat of LSD overturned in the lab. Also discovered: humans are just sentient sponges, drywall tastes like a marshmallow and gravity is real. The last point remains heavily debated.”
“@thesheetztweetz @NASAKennedy @SpaceX It is hard to overstate criticality of reusable rockets. No less important than reusable aircraft, cars or bicycles. Essential for humanity to become a multiplanet species & backup the biosphere.”
“@WholeMarsBlog @aelluswamy About 2 weeks”
