“As is pointed out below, the SpaceX Falcon rocket will do more launches and carry more payload to orbit this year than the Space Shuttle did in its entire history [@ApoStructura] Falcon 9 vs Space Shuttle, all launches in one chart. F9 is on track to launch more times in 2025 alone than the Space Shuttle has in its history. Hard to overstate how successful SpaceX’s approach to reusability has been.”

The asteroid is believed to contain platinum and other… )”
“It’s a big deal [@cb_doge] ELON MUSK: "The major breakthrough that SpaceX is hoping to achieve this year is full reusability. No one has ever achieved full reusability of a rocket, which is very important for the cost of access to space. We've achieved partial re usability with Falcon 9.

“Putting together SpaceX rocket landing blooper reel. We messed up a lot before it finally worked, but there's some epic explosion footage …”
“@TheZvi Because everyone’s job is safety. It’s not some fake department with no power to assuage the concerns of outsiders. Tesla has no safety team and is the safest car. SpaceX has no safety team and has the safest rocket. Dragon is what NASA trusts most to fly astronauts.”
“@lrocket Thanks for everything you did to help build SpaceX! Some of the best memories ever.”
“Definitely [@aaronburnett] Cathie discussing SpaceX convergence on orbital data centers and reusable rockets with Peter and friends.
