“@SERobinsonJr SpaceX/Tesla will be always be major customers of TSMC and not competitors in the normal sense of the word”
“@Erdayastronaut Everyday Astronaut is a great account to follow for Starship and space matters in general”
“@peterrhague As I said in my post, we will still do Mars in parallel, but the critical path to a self-growing Moon city is faster. The Moon city can be made to be self-growing in less than half the time of Mars. The critical juncture for humanity’s expansion beyond Earth is having a… https://t.co/vn78V12Bra https://x.com/i/web/status/2020829121916412129”

“@nextspaceflight There is the internal goal if things go right, which needs to be aggressive. Obviously, some things will not go right internally & there will be external issues too. That said, I think we can stack an orbital ship on an orbital booster in July.”

“@xDaily This has nothing to do with Kuiper, we’re just trying to make Starlink more affordable to a broader audience. The lower the cost, the more Starlink can be used by people who don’t have much money, especially in the developing world.”
“@Scobleizer @WholeMarsBlog Accidental. Fixed now.”

“@Erdayastronaut @SpaceX Super proud of SpaceX propulsion/test/materials team! One of hardest technology problems. New high temp superalloy & internal foundry needed to make it work. Foundry iteration interval is ~3 weeks from design to flight part vs ~36 weeks typical for aerospace.”
“@astro_g_dogg @SpaceX Absolutely”
“SpaceX and Tesla rated most meaningful work in high tech. Also, most stressful, but that goes with the territory. https://t.co/y8s4UdMF5z https://x.com/dfjsteve/status/705925529388453888”

“RT @Starlink: Starlink Mini is compact and connects to high-speed internet in minutes Speeds up to 280+ Mbps”
“@WholeMarsBlog Accurate”

“@Free_Space @thesheetztweetz @AviationWeek SpaceX will do the right thing for OneWeb, even though they are a competitor”
“@SpaceX Testing Raptor in vertical configuration (on the giant tripod) should allow us to simplify some aspects of the engine design”
“@WholeMarsBlog Next release (10.12) is another step towards all NN’s using surround video & reconciling output to a unified vector space for control code. Improves complex intersections in heavy traffic. Many upgrades to core code, so taking longer to debug issues. Probably Wed/Thurs release.”
“@ErcXspace @smvllstvrs T/W will be ~1.5, so it will accelerate unusually fast. High T/W is important for reusable vehicles to make more efficient use of propellant, the primary cost. For expendable rockets, throwing away stages is the primary cost, so optimization is low T/W.”
“@WholeMarsBlog First I’ve learned of this. Will be patched shortly.”
“@WholeMarsBlog Yup”
“@thesheetztweetz @QuiltyAnalytics SpaceX default plan was ~65% of global launch mass to orbit this year. Incremental demand might take that to ~70%, so not a major change. Those numbers don’t count Starship. Rough math is ~16 tons * 50 launches = 800 tons. Rest of world is <400 tons (mostly China).”
“@TeslaLarry SpaceX even launched competing satellite constellations with no markup. Same price for all.”
“@DJSnM Booster landing was on target, ship landing was several km off due to flap damage, but both were soft landings”

“@PPathole Mars looks amazing”
“@WholeMarsBlog This should be clear to anyone who has experienced the FSD beta evolution. Self-driving requires solving a major part of real-world AI, so it’s an insanely hard problem, but Tesla is getting it done. AI Day will be great.”
“Will run the SpaceX pusher sled later this week and see what it can do”
“@WholeMarsBlog This is a big one! Expect some two steps forward, one step back situations. These will be great ironed in point releases, hence ~10.12.2 or 10.13 for wider beta release.”
“@SpaceX We're going to spend the 4th doing a full review of rocket & pad systems. Launch no earlier than 5th/6th. Only one chance to get it right …”

“@SawyerMerritt @heydave7 @WholeMarsBlog @WSJ Good point, will do”
“@JohnnaCrider1 @Iupsychdoctor @AOC @RobinhoodApp Shopify is great too. SpaceX used them.”
“@SpaceXMR Tragically, it is not clear that the defense contractors can get to the moon for any amount of money. More than $200B has been spent on development of new US crewed space transport systems over past ~40 years, but only Dragon is flying. Development cost to NASA was <$2B.”
