“@WholeMarsBlog @truth_tesla @LimitingThe There are vast amounts of iron (and lithium) on Earth, but much less nickel. For global industry to scale battery production to ~10 TWh/year, it needs to be mostly iron. Higher energy density of Nickel only needed for very long range vehicles & aircraft.”

“@PPathole @jack Still early stages on that. Getting Starship reliably to orbit, then achieving full & immediate reusability of both stages is by far top priority.”
“RT @Ivar_A2428: Starship looks like something straight out of a science fiction movie. https://t.co/Oiq4TM8ent”
“@WholeMarsBlog OpenAI being (semi) independent is probably better for the world than merging with Microsoft. Less concentration of power.”
“@WholeMarsBlog We believe in local sourcing for many reasons”
“@WholeMarsBlog Let’s not be too hard on the NPCs – they just say what they’re programmed to say”

“@chamath Best rocket propulsion team ever. I love them.”
“@SpaceIntellige3 @SpaceX @SpaceXStarlink @nkknspace @HomemDoEspacoBr @InfographicTony @cnunezimages @spacex360 Inter-satellite laser communications means Starlink can carry data at speed of light in vacuum all around Earth before touching ground. Over time, some amount of communication can simply be from one user terminal to another without touching the Internet.”
“RT @SpaceX: Falcon lifts off from pad 4E in California ahead of landing for the 450th time https://t.co/rXzejLxG83”
“@WholeMarsBlog Production rate and fully considered cost are the challenges. Demand for stationary batteries is super high. I think Tesla might end up doing more total Joules in stationary than mobile long-term.”
“@Rawasen_ SpaceX needs to demonstrate more progress with Starship, but that will hopefully happen rapidly”
“@esherifftv @lrocket As it turns out, future versions of Raptor will ultimately exceed 700k lb-F! Honing T/W, Isp and reliability are much harder than thrust though. Rocket engines desperately want to explode.”
“@ThierryBreton In all seriousness, SpaceX hopes to offer travel to Mars to anyone who wants to go, bearing in mind that it will be like a long sea voyage in centuries past – dangerous and uncomfortable, but great adventure! Becoming multiplanetary ensures the long-term survival of life.”
“RT @DogecoinNorway: Is there life on Mars? https://t.co/45a2rw6KZa”
“@WholeMarsBlog Expansion will be gradual, based on ensuring maximum safety”

“RT @MarshaBlackburn: For far too long federal bureaucrats abused the taxpayer and spent money like a drunken sailor. Those days have come…”
“@ID_AA_Carmack The right way to grade any technology is not comparing it to competitors (too easy), but comparing it to the limit of physics. That is, for example, how we grade Starlink latency, which shows that there is still a *lot* of room for improvement! Same for $/ton to Mars.”

“@zerohedge Well, at least SpaceX/Starlink and Tesla have significantly increased US production over that timeframe”

“@gurgavin The fundamental principle of ITAR law is that US companies who have advanced weapons technology, such as rockets with intercontinental range, must hire people who are permanent American residents, so that the technology does not fall into the hands of countries who wish us harm.”
“@Teslarati This isn’t quite correct. An orbital rocket needs precision that’s 3X to 4X better than a water tower, so super precise parts, fixtures & welding are needed. Suborbital is much more forgiving.”

“@harrison_astro We can do that partially, but detailed rocket technology is considered advanced weaponry (same tech as nuclear missiles), so there are more limitations than at Tesla”

“@SPEXcast @Robotbeat @John_Gardi @SpaceX Very dependent on volume, but I’m confident moving to Mars (return ticket is free) will one day cost less than $500k & maybe even below $100k. Low enough that most people in advanced economies could sell their home on Earth & move to Mars if they want.”
