“@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 Will be amazing to see it in operation! Biggest casting machine ever made. Will make rear body in a single piece, including crash rails.”

“@arstechnica @SciGuySpace We’re just trying to get people to Mars. Help would be appreciated.”
“Launch at 1:25 delivering 10 satellites for Iridium. Droneship repositioned due to extreme weather. Will be tight. https://t.co/6ZcSG29B74 http://spacex.com/webcast”
“@WholeMarsBlog Accurate”
“@S3XYstarship @SawyerMerritt I work. Yes, I am testing Starlink on the plane. Some polishing needed, but it’s working quite well.”
“@WholeMarsBlog 😢”
“RT @SawyerMerritt: The Pentagon said that @SpaceX has saved the government over $40B. One SLS launch costs billions. One SpaceX launch cost…”
“@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?”
“@WholeMarsBlog Vision became so good that radar actually reduced SNR, so radar was turned off. Humans drive with eyes & biological neural nets, so makes sense that cameras & silicon neural nets are only way to achieve generalized solution to self-driving.”
“@WholeMarsBlog It’s looking good so far”
“@MrLeonMusk Yes, first countries in Africa to be announced coming soon. Starlink will serve everywhere on Earth that we’re legally allowed to serve.”

“@WholeMarsBlog Wipers will get super good”
“@wholemars AI chips are needed for everything”
“@DavidNagySFgang Booster engines are not shrouded by skirt extension, as with ship. Engines extend about 3m below booster.”
“Aiming to launch this weekend and (hopefully) land on our droneship. Ship landings needed for high velocity missions https://t.co/n6j0mExAqM https://x.com/spacex/status/686740078387843073”

“@flcnhvy Starship steel decision came first. We were going to use titanium skins for Cybertruck, but cold-rolled 30X stainless is much stronger.”
“@DimaZeniuk Starship will launch over 10,000 satellites every year”
“@wholemars Tesla is smooth as butter”
“@WholeMarsBlog To be fair, investors are giving us significant credit for achieving self-driving, given that Tesla’s valuation/production is very high compared to other automakers”
“@WholeMarsBlog The 3am oil is being burned to get this out.”
“RT @SpaceX: Starship in space https://t.co/ztS3Zo9lH2”
“@mayemusk @SpaceX Starship Mk 1 & Hopper”
“@wholemars Yeah, it’s like getting an iPhone after only using flip phones”
“@SpaceX @SpaceForceDoD Winning 60% of the missions may sound generous, but the reality is that all SpaceX competitors combined cannot currently deliver the other 40%! I hope they succeed, but they aren’t there yet.”
“@DiscoverMag That's a SpaceX engineer in there, not me”
“@jiveDurkey @SpaceX @facebook Literally never seen it even once”
“@S3XYstarship @ACTBrigitte He’s fine, I guess. Does seem like he’s spending a lot of time in the hot tub these days. If he wants to get to orbit, less partying and more work would be advisable.”
“@Rainmaker1973 Used a lot in rocketry”
“Rocket landing speed was close to design max & used up contingency crush core, hence back & forth motion. Prob ok, but some risk of tipping.”
“@Rjdlandscapes @Erdayastronaut @SpaceX That’s our goal”
“@ICannot_Enough @SteveHamel16 @SpaceX Iron(y)man”
“@aakashgupta Starship V4 Tanker version will deliver >200 tons of propellant per flight, so more like 5 or 6 tanker flights to refill the lunar transit Starship in orbit. Shouldn’t be too much of a problem if we’re doing >10k flights/year.”

“@SawyerMerritt Cybertrucks get preferential parking, as they look much more futuristic than normal cars and are poetically aligned with the stainless steel of Starship”
“@BrennanChant @SpaceX Yeah. Active fairing half recovered though.”
