“@Astra Sorry to hear that. I’m sure you’ll figure it out though. Took us four launches to reach orbit. Rockets are hard.”

“@SawyerMerritt @SpaceX @Tesla Yay!”
“@ID_AA_Carmack Thanks John, really admire you too! I think you’re one of the best engineers ever. Hope you return to working on rockets one day.”
“@bluemoondance74 @ThugsAndMiracle @tfspeakcies @DearHistorians @DeepintoHistory @HellenisticPod @TrueConsPod @IWBpodcast @Coffincast @CacheHistory @AgeofVictoria @ForYourRefPod @WWIIPodcast @namelessdeadpod @ZombieFishbowl @AgeofNapoleon Raptor is making great progress! Just finished an engineering review with SpaceX Propulsion. Engine SN 17 is about to ship to McGregor with some holiday style 🎄😀 https://t.co/3JNIyxY9H0”
“@MarcusHouseGame Rapid & complete rocket reuse, low cost propellant, orbital refilling & propellant production at destination are the four essential elements of making life multiplanetary”
“RT @NASA: Four new crew members are on their way to the @Space_Station! NASA's SpaceX Crew-11 mission lifted off from @NASAKennedy at 11:…”
“@WholeMarsBlog Voice mode is still a little patchy, so probably launches in about a week, but it’s awesome”
“@WholeMarsBlog More than people realize”
“@kimitalvitie @SpaceX Outer engines stick out slightly from 9m diameter, don’t gimbal & are mechanically joined at nozzle”
“@WholeMarsBlog The government is the DMV at scale. How much DMV do you want? That’s the question people should ask themselves.”
“@teslaownersSV @SpaceX Starlink is a little patchy to Tonga right now, but will improve dramatically as laser inter-satellite links activate”
“@Erdayastronaut By “volume production”, I mean 2 to 4 engines per day. That’s super high volume for big rocket engines, but low volume by automotive standards.”
“@JM_Scindia @SpaceX @Starlink 🇮🇳”
“@AdamLowisz Other companies are not trying to extend consciousness to the stars, so they aim too low. Even if SpaceX fails in this grand goal, we still end up with vastly more capable rockets.”
“@WholeMarsBlog That is not cgi”
“@mdcainjr @SpaceX @45thSpaceWing @NASA Great photo!”
“@WholeMarsBlog The new Plaid S is our best car ever. Will be first production car to achieve 0-60mph in under 2 secs & it has four doors & seats up to 7 people.”
“@considercosmos @SpaceX Thanks!!”
“@arstechnica @SciGuySpace They are aiming too low. Only rockets that are fully & rapidly reusable will be competitive. Everything else will seem like a cloth biplane in the age of jets.”
“@SERobinsonJr Upper stage restart to raise perigee resulted in an engine RUD for reasons currently unknown. Team is reviewing data tonight to understand root cause. Starlink satellites were deployed, but the perigee may be too low for them to raise orbit. Will know more in a few hours.”

“@TeslaBoomerMama Scientific American has become a social activist magazine and destroyed its credibility. My companies have succeeded *despite* the government support playing field being tilted heavily to competitors. Boeing received twice as much as SpaceX for astronaut transport, yet has not…”
“@WholeMarsBlog We should dispense with the false idea that money is somehow relevant in an AGi future”
“@JaneidyEve You’re welcome! Was a fun recruiting event. Great to see all the excitement about helping build Starships.”
“@WilliamShatner @SpaceX ♥️”
“@WholeMarsBlog Now drive outside SF”
“@WholeMarsBlog I think we may have figured out some aspects of AGI. The car has a mind. Not an enormous mind, but a mind nonetheless.”
“@aaronburnett SpaceX has a massive presence in Florida. It is our biggest launch complex by far. And the Starship heat shield factory is there.”
“@JaneidyEve @flcnhvy @Freiraum77 @SpaceX Aiming for 20km flight in Oct & orbit attempt shortly thereafter. Starship update will be on Sept 28th, anniversary of SpaceX reaching orbit. Starship Mk 1 will be fully assembled by that time.”
“Frank Herbert & Falcon Heavy”
“@WholeMarsBlog Companies should get the hell out of Delaware”
“Falcon 9 lifting off with 1.3 mmmillion pounds of force http://t.co/7ltlN2WYmx”
“@WholeMarsBlog That’s about right. Maybe a little faster.”
“@WholeMarsBlog The primary solution to a sustainable energy future is solar/wind with batteries for when sun doesn’t shine or wind doesn’t blow, interconnected with conventional high voltage lines. No unknown technology is needed! Hydro+geothermal+fission will also be non-trivial contributors.”
“@flcnhvy @SpaceX @NASA Wow, hard to believe that was 10 years ago!”
“@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.”

“@TheTeslaBull @BLKMDL3 @S3XYstarship @IWill_Travel @AOC Based on past experience, about 12 to 18 months. Companies that are inherently negative cash flow (ie value destroyers) need to die, so that they stop consuming resources.”
“@ThePrashanthCB @dogeofficialceo I hear you, but we’re not getting to Mars if civilization falls apart before then!”

“@WholeMarsBlog Accurate”
“@S3XYstarship @SawyerMerritt I work. Yes, I am testing Starlink on the plane. Some polishing needed, but it’s working quite well.”
“@WholeMarsBlog 😢”

“@Adamklotz_ @SpaceX BN1 is a manufacturing pathfinder, so will be scrapped. We learned a lot, but have already changed design to BN2. Goal is to get BN2 with engines on orbital pad before end of April. It might even be orbit-capable if we are lucky.”
“@lrocket What propellant?”
