“First Falcon 9 land landing mission from Vandenberg Air Force Base in California coming up soon!”
“@DefiantLs SpaceX Falcon just completed its 450th flight successfully”
“If schedule holds there will be two Falcon 9 launches within 48 hours (Cape & Vandenberg) this weekend https://t.co/GbleRPm6iZ https://x.com/spacex/status/876522478046068737”

“@engineers_feed This is how we make Falcon 9”
“@BillyM2k The super weird thing is that Falcon 9 is still the only orbital booster to land or refly after all these years!”
“@RocketLab360 Will be Falcon 9 size sooner or later”
“RT @DimaZeniuk: Elon Musk's reaction when he made history with the first successful landing of a Falcon 9 booster back on Earth https://t.c…”
“Falcon on LZ-1 at Cape Canaveral https://t.co/dBkjBCDIRs”
“Congrats to the @SpaceX Falcon Team! [deleted tweet]”
“@arstechnica @SciGuySpace Falcon 9 is almost always at max capacity. When it has “spare” performance, it flies back to land, which costs much less than using a droneship. Our fundamental constraint is mass to orbit per unit time. Last year, SpaceX launched roughly double payload mass of rest of world.”
“Target altitude of 40,600 km achieved. Thanks @SES_Satellites for riding on Falcon 9! Looking forward to future missions.”
“Falcon Heavy test flight currently scheduled for late summer”
“@SciGuySpace Cumulative payload to orbit is the really crazy number. Falcon has delivered more than double rest of world combined over trailing 12 months.”

“Frank Herbert & Falcon Heavy”
“Falcon 9 lifting off with 1.3 mmmillion pounds of force http://t.co/7ltlN2WYmx”
“@TrevorMahlmann @arstechnica V1.1 legs will be ~60% longer. V2.0 legs will be much wider & taller — like Falcon, but capable of landing on unimproved surfaces & auto-leveling.”
“@ID_AA_Carmack Best case 2028, but probably 2030. If SpaceX is not smothered by regulations, then the Starship launch rate will far exceed the Falcon launch rate, as Starship fully reusable, while Falcon is only mostly reusable. Starship should be doing >1000 Earth orbit flights per year by…”
“@SpaceX @INTELSAT Thanks @INTELSAT! Really proud of the rocket and SpaceX team today. Min apogee requirement was 28,000 km, Falcon 9 achieved 43,000 km.”
“Flying through the Falcon Factory https://t.co/kIuqfD3MLQ https://www.instagram.com/p/BVarZZSgfIP/”
“@PPathole @arstechnica @SciGuySpace If 2021 manifest is met, SpaceX will do ~75% of total Earth payload to orbit with Falcon. A single Starship is designed to do in a day what all rockets on Earth currently do in a year. Even so, ~1000 Starships will take ~20 years to build a self-sustaining city on Mars.”
“Long exposure of the Falcon 9 predawn launch from Cape Canaveral http://t.co/jQHxIEhuJb”
“@Rainmaker1973 When we were launching Falcon from Kwajalein, those crabs would break into our soda can storage & crack open the cans. They particularly seemed to like Sprite. Pretty funny seeing a giant crab drinking soda lol.”
“RT @JonErlichman: Things Elon Musk launched or unveiled in less than 10 years: Boring Co. Crew Dragon Cybercab Cybertruck DOGE Falcon Hea…”
“@DJSnM We could stretch the Falcon Heavy upper stage & increase this a lot, but FH already covers all known payloads. Starship, especially with orbital refilling & dedicated deep space variants (no heatshield, flaps or header tanks) will take this up orders of magnitude.”
“@OliOnOrbit Falcon 9 is technically a heavy lift rocket. If flown as an expendable, payload to orbit is similar to Delta IV Heavy (~25 tons to LEO). And Starship is ~10 times bigger.”
“@danpiemont Thank you for the thoughtful rebuttal. To the best of my knowledge, none of the rideshare missions have lost money. I do hope that rocket companies focus on reusability. That is the fundamental breakthrough needed for humanity to become a spacefaring civilization. Falcon is…”
“@Erdayastronaut I talked about Falcon 9 & Heavy for over a decade!”
“RT @johnkrausphotos: Falcon 9 transits the 100% full Moon during tonight’s 8:53:30pm ET launch of 21 Starlink satellites from Florida 🚀🌕 ht…”
“@MuskUniversity Based on the Falcon launch plan for next year, SpaceX will deliver ~90% of all Earth payload to orbit. Starship will take that to >99% in future years. These magnitudes are madness to consider, but necessary to make consciousness multiplanetary.”
“@TJ_Cooney Wow, 2011 seems like eons ago! With fairing recovery, Falcon is ~80% reusable, but reflight takes several days & requires boats. Starship will be fully reusable with booster reflight possible every few hours & ship reflight every 8 hours. No boats needed.”

“@SpaceXMR Heavy comes in more like a javelin. Similar to Falcon 9, but caught by the tower vs landing on legs.”

“In expendable mode, Falcon Heavy can send a fully loaded Dragon to Mars or a light Dragon to Jupiter's moons. Europa mission wd be cool.”
“@rookisaacman Thanks Jared. We will investigate the issue and look for any other potential near-misses. We are tracking to do more Falcon flights this year than Shuttle did in 30 years, the vast majority of which are uncrewed. A major advantage of this super high flight rate is that we can…”

“Really tempting to redesign upper stage for return too (Falcon Heavy has enough power), but prob best to stay focused on the Mars rocket”
