“@PPathole @SpaceX Absolutely! Staggeringly insane amount of work between now and then.”

“With the version 3 Starlink satellites, which start launching on Starship in 6 to 9 months, we should be able to get latency below 20ms. The new, much larger satellites will be at ~350km instead of ~550km altitude, which cuts latency due to speed of light down to ~5ms. Also,”

“@JessePeltan For anything to do with engineering and science for sure, but Imperial has a certain romantic charm for civilian use. I set a more intuitive variant of metric for Starship: tons for force and mass, bar for pressure. It’s easier to do mental math, eg thrust to mass ratio, than”

“@markusdd5 Given that several companies make advanced chips, but no companies have ever made fully reusable rockets or achieved SpaceX scale, I think Starship is harder, but we shall see. Terafab will technically be two fabs, each making only one chip design. This greatly simplifies”

“@WholeMarsBlog The Washington Post’s current slogan is “Democracy Dies in Darkness”. Catchy – for sure – but then what’s up with the paywall for news!?”

“@bluemoondance74 @NASASpaceflight @SpaceX “Comes in discreet packaging””

“@WholeMarsBlog Beta 10 will be next-level”

“Here is the latest SpaceX travel ad for the flight around the moon & into deep space. Maybe needs a few edits ... https://t.co/mA8ZgutrbE https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=DNkKCFaqib8”

“Still working on the Falcon fireball investigation. Turning out to be the most difficult and complex failure we have ever had in 14 years.”

“@aaronburnett “Outsourcing” is impossible when the rest of industry will do less than 10% or SpaceX’s mass to orbit”

“@NASAGoddard @SpaceX .@SpaceX team would be so honored to fly this for @NASA!”

“Falcon Heavy is this times three. One way or another, launch is guaranteed to be exciting ... https://t.co/FPUNALj0Hd https://x.com/spacex/status/867568781928701954”

“@WholeMarsBlog No, it’s dual, high performance terminals, which are important for maintaining the connection in choppy seas & heavy storms. Still obv premium pricing, but way cheaper & faster than alternatives. SpaceX was paying $150k/month for a much worse connection to our ships!”

“@ChrisG_NSF We are proceeding very carefully. If there is a RUD on the pad, Starship progress will be set back by ~6 months.”

“This time, the vacuum tunnel will be a bit longer & SpaceX will provide some advance funding for student teams with most promising designs. Bonus award for all race pods that exceed half the speed of sound!”

“@ashleevance Hardly anyone knows that there was a massive effort to block SpaceX from providing astronaut transport for NASA”

“Next rocket landing on drone ship in 2 to 3 weeks w way more hydraulic fluid. At least it shd explode for a diff reason.”

“@PPathole @SpaceX Moving to 33 engines on next booster”

“@DimaZeniuk @klwtts @TeslaClubNorway @WholeMarsBlog @SawyerMerritt @1stMarsColonist @daelmor @Kristennetten @28delayslater @Inelonwetrust__ @billhuang688 @EvaFoxU @GailAlfarATX As goes Norway, so goes the world. That said, still a long way to go to replace the fleet of combustion vehicles on the road.”

“@marshallk @Esqueer_ Calling for violence will result in suspension”

“@Teslarati @Tesla @WholeMarsBlog @JohnnaCrider1 🤔”

“@Erdayastronaut @SpaceX Merlin is so simple compared to Raptor!”

“@thesheetztweetz @SpaceX @USCG @PortCanaveral Glad we could help”

“@WholeMarsBlog True”

“RT @EricLDaugh: 🚨 BREAKING: Elon Musk's Starlink just made the service FREE to Jamaica and the Bahamas as Category 5 Hurricane Melissa make…”

“@jonastsla @jamesdouma @heydave7 @karpathy @WholeMarsBlog Our video clips are usually shorter than 30 seconds, but the overall point made by James is accurate. Tesla is probably labeling more images per week than any other project ever done and our rate of labeling is increasing rapidly.”

“RT @SpaceX: Super Heavy on the launch pad at Starbase ahead of Starship's eighth flight test https://t.co/MdiIQMy5EF”

“@thesheetztweetz SpaceX has sued to be *allowed* to compete, BO is suing to stop competition”

“RT @SpaceX: Splashdown confirmed! Congratulations to the entire SpaceX team on an exciting eleventh flight test of Starship! https://t.co/l… https://x.com/yz”

“@farzyness Walter spent a lot of time with me in meetings, but much less time walking the factory floor. Tesla and SpaceX factories have a great vibe. We encourage playing music and having some fun. Very important for people to look forward to coming to work! We pay more than the UAW…”

“@WholeMarsBlog You mean 11.4.7? That should be going to wide release within a week. Version 12, which an almost total rewrite (~99% AI) is being tested by our QA drivers. Too much new code to go to the public yet, but it is mind-blowing imo.”

“@SirineAti @mn_google Starship will be ready to fly next month. I was in the high bay & mega bay late last night reviewing progress.”

“@BLKMDL3 @Apple @SpaceX We’ve had some promising conversations with Apple about Starlink connectivity. iPhone team is obv super smart. For sure, closing link from space to phone will work best if phone software & hardware adapt to space-based signals vs Starlink purely emulating cell tower.”

“@Erdayastronaut @SpaceX It was foolish of us not to start 3 engines & immediately shut down 1, as 2 are needed to land”

“@FAANews @SpaceX What are the 63 items?”

“@WholeMarsBlog Thanks :)”

“@LloydOstertagg @SpaceX Thanks Lloyd!”

“@WholeMarsBlog Car just drove me around Austin all day with no interventions required, despite ACL festival crowds! In the fairly near future, people will wonder why there was ever skepticism about self-driving.”

“@WholeMarsBlog No more stalks. Car guesses drive direction based on what obstacles it sees, context & nav map. You can override on touchscreen.”

“@StuartZuckerma1 @WholeMarsBlog It’s a new version of software, but will merge to main branch soon. We have a more advanced model in alpha stage that has ~4X the params, but still requires a lot of polishing. That’s probably ready for deploy in a few months.”

“@____AMiR__ @SpaceX We will support as best we can”

“@teslaownersSV The Starship V4 ship will have 3 more vacuum engines, making the total stack engine count 42, as foretold in the prophecy”

“@_rykllan @SpaceX @NASASpaceflight @FelixSchlang @MarcusHouse @bluemoondance74 The rocket fleet grows”

“@Teslarati The source info is incorrect. Starship & Raptor development is being done out of our HQ in Hawthorne, CA. We are building the Starship prototypes locally at our launch site in Texas, as their size makes them very difficult to transport.”

“@marmars Major video upgrades coming to this platform!”

“First Falcon 9 land landing mission from Vandenberg Air Force Base in California coming up soon!”

“@TylerG1998 @NASASpaceflight @SpaceX It is! Looks like we can get 378 sec Isp with this version of Raptor Vacuum, so over 380 sec with some improvements down the road.”

“@Starlink @andst7 Great”

“@Erdayastronaut @SpaceX @NASA @Astro_Doug @AstroBehnken Astronauts to orbit next week!”
