“This is a dicey test, as the Starlink antenna is partially obscured by trees, so latency & jitters will be higher, as the terminal tries to connect with satellites further away that are not obscured”

“@Erdayastronaut @SpaceX @Blackmagic_News @andrutay @bstineman @SpacePadreIsle @considercosmos Standing down SN11 until probably Monday. Additional checkouts are needed. Doing our best to land & fully recover.”
“@artemis360_moon @SpaceX Probably sooner”
“@WholeMarsBlog We need to predict what pedestrians will do based on their behavior, including limb angle & direction of sight. FSD currently sees all pedestrians as cuboids, so is overly cautious. Also, diffusion seems to be more compute-efficient than transformers for vision.”
“@ErcXspace @NASASpaceflight @SpaceX Very accurate!”
“Rocket landed hard on the droneship. Didn't expect this one to work (v hot reentry), but next flight has a good chance.”
“@WholeMarsBlog Big update”
“Static fire data looks good so far. This is first launch of Falcon Heavy Block 5, so we’re being extra cautious. Launch date might move.”
“Rocket made it to drone spaceport ship, but landed hard. Close, but no cigar this time. Bodes well for the future tho.”
“First draft animation of the Falcon Heavy three core launch. FH is twice the thrust of the next… https://t.co/vgZxF6LRMR https://www.instagram.com/p/BXXiVWFgphb/”
“@tetsuoai To be clear, we are still going to do Mars. I don’t think this change affects the time to a Mars city being self-growing by more than 5 years and it might turn out to accelerate Mars.”
“@Kristennetten @SpaceX It will be exciting to see what new cultures humanity creates on other heavenly bodies!”
“@Teslarati @RDAnglePhoto First orbital stack of Starship should be ready for flight in a few weeks, pending only regulatory approval”
“@VP @POTUS @NASA @SpaceX Thank you on behalf of the many people of SpaceX”
“@Erdayastronaut @netflix @NASA @SpaceX @JimBridenstine @AstroBehnken @Astro_Doug @Gwynne_Shotwell Cool!”
“@DoctorJack16 Main Tesla subjects will be scaling to extreme size, which is needed to shift humanity away from fossil fuels, and AI. But I will also Include sections about SpaceX, Tesla and The Boring Company.”
“12th mission of our Dragon robotic space freighter in support of the @NASA @Space_Station https://t.co/vlGbGLgBcR https://x.com/spacex/status/897133836441534464”
“@WholeMarsBlog Actually, I like & use Apple products. They are just obviously overcharging with App Store. I mean 30% fees for doing almost zero incremental work is completely unreasonable. Epic wouldn’t bother processing their own payments if App Store fees were fair.”
“SpaceX Dragon from as seen from @Space_Station viewport https://t.co/WE82irbsmp”
“@WholeMarsBlog Based on feedback received, we will drop mobile connector price to $200 & make it easy to order with car. Note, mobile connector is not needed if you have a Tesla wall connector or to use Superchargers. Recommend installing Tesla wall connector well before car arrives.”
“@WholeMarsBlog Beta 10 coming soon!”
“Dragon 2 is designed to be able to land anywhere in the solar system. Red Dragon Mars mission is the first test flight.”
“@WholeMarsBlog And people wonder why I sometimes think we’re in a simulation …”
“@WholeMarsBlog Thank goodness! North America will have a way better connector for charging cars than rest of world.”
“@wholemars And a very entertaining circus it will be”
“@SciGuySpace Yes. It will be the highest output & most advanced rocket engine factory in the world.”
“@WholeMarsBlog Indeed I did. However, I also think that Tesla has the potential to be the most valuable company ever. When Tesla’s market cap, making sustainable energy products, exceeds that of Aramco, producing fossil fuels, you know the future will be good for Earth.”
“@WholeMarsBlog So few realize this”
“@considercosmos @SpaceX Booster & Ship will return to orbital launch pad on Monday (winds allowing). Just finishing off some small plumbing & wiring, which is easier in high bay.”
“@gc22gc Bannon is such a retarded liar. Dumber than a doorstop. SpaceX revenue this year will be $15.5B and NASA is only $1.1B. For that NASA revenue, SpaceX does all astronaut transport to the Space Station at roughly half the cost of Boeing, who thus far has failed to complete a”
“@trengriffin @ProfMJCleveland You are correct. Even the most advanced space-based Internet system is not competitive with fiber or cellular wireless in medium to high population density areas. However, systems like Starlink are far more efficient for low density areas like rural farmland and moving”
“@WholeMarsBlog Even better build coming next week”
“@farbood Ride around in your truck in the devastated areas with a Starlink terminal on the roof and open WiFi”
“@WholeMarsBlog Take away the subsidies. It will only help Tesla. Also, remove subsidies from all industries!”
“@zone_astronomy Low center of mass. Bit like our ship & booster on reentry.”
“@ada_lluch Tesla Powerwall plus Starlink should still work”
“@GailAlfarATX @JohnnaCrider1 @WholeMarsBlog @TeslaOwnersEBay @RationalEtienne @EvaFoxU @Boxabl I’ve actually been living in a ~$50k house in south Texas for past 2 years, not Boxabl (cool product tho). Feels more homey to live in a small house.”
“Total revenue that SpaceX will receive from NASA this year is ~$1B out of ~$15B total, so ~7%. Moreover, NASA is paying SpaceX for astronaut & cargo transport to the Space Station, launching research satellites and some work for returning to the Moon. All of these contracts”
“@TerminalCount The Starships feast in Valhalla!”
“@rookisaacman Starship is the first rocket/spaceship with the potential to make life multiplanetary”
“@Tesmanian_com If a severe global recession were to dry up capital availability / liquidity while SpaceX was losing billions on Starlink & Starship, then bankruptcy, while still unlikely, is not impossible. GM & Chrysler went BK last recession. “Only the paranoid survive.” – Grove”
“@itsALLrisky @spideycyp_155 @WholeMarsBlog Tweeps will be twits going forward, as the latter has vastly more gravitas”
“@MuskUniversity Can’t shrink humans, so need big rocket”
“Video of MIT's entrant into the SpaceX Hyperloop competition. Air has been removed from the Hyperloop tube to almost vacuum conditions. https://t.co/bAP7kDKzHs https://x.com/mithyperloop/status/825871420638978048”
“@wholemars Gonna happen 😂”
“@SpaceX Sigh …”
“@Teslarati @Writer_01001101 Before DoD even came back with an answer, I told @FedorovMykhailo that SpaceX would not turn off Starlink even if DoD refused to provide funding”
“@WilliamShatner Hop in, let’s go to Mars!”
“@astro_kimbrough @SpaceX Hello @Space_Station, great pic! (That’s me waving)”
“@teslaownersSV @heydave7 @WholeMarsBlog @WSJ Call them out on it, I guess. WSJ is supposed to have a high standard for journalism and, right now, they are way sub tabloid. WSJ should be running stories that actually matter to their readers and have solid factual basis, not third-party random hearsay.”
