“@Erdayastronaut @SpaceX Merlin is very simple compared to Raptor”

“@neddesmond @SpaceX We certainly could, but, while not suggesting complacency, I'm confident that the US DoD and intelligence orgs have this covered”

“@xiang_aw @WholeMarsBlog This does seem like the opposite of open. OpenAI is essentially captured by Microsoft.”

“@DavidNagySFgang @rocketry_catboy Indeed. Grid fin designs clearly work, but do they maximize payload? Good chance that they do not. Something with much more drag to reduce terminal velocity & so reduce landing propellant might have better performance. Not sure. Potential future optimization.”

“@awilkinson SpaceX (just barely) succeeding required both the knowledge and the capital I gained from a modest success with Zip2 and a more significant success with PayPal”

“@Neopork85 @SpaceX @MarcusHouseGame Most likely, all flaps will fold after landing to reduce wind tip over force. There may be some cases where flaps deployed help stability (change in wind direction), in which case one or more flaps will extend.”

“RT @SciGuySpace: Incredibly, SpaceX just landed its 400th rocket on a drone ship. This has all happened in less than a decade since the fir…”

“@Locati0ns Incredible Starlink bandwidth though, as users per unit area is almost zero”

“@Benioff Starship should be able to deliver around 300 GW per year of solar-powered AI satellites to orbit, maybe 500 GW. The “per year” part is what makes this such a big deal. Average US electricity consumption is around 500 GW, so at 300 GW/year, AI in space would exceed the entire US”

“RT @spacesudoer: Incredible footage of the SpaceX Dragon Endurance capsule undocking from the International Space Station. https://t.co/f45… null”

“@FoxNews @SpaceX @cvpayne @OutnumberedFNC Yes”

“@KTmBoyle I would have preferred to stick to cars & Mars, but it was necessary to safeguard civilization”

“@StarofElysium @SamTalksTesla @RationalEtienne @chrish7985 @rlyrlysryDave I don’t have an “emerald mine”, nor was I given free money from anyone, inheritance or otherwise. Ashlee Vance interviewed hundreds of people. Ask him. https://t.co/M63NjiKkw2 https://www.bloomberg.com/news/features/2020-05-22/elon-musk-speaks-frankly-on-coronavirus-spacex-and-rage-tweets”

“@Austen Starlink will have 20k to 30k satellites in operation by the time the EU satellites are all launched, so about 1% of Starlink! This is a child’s toy compared to Starlink.”

“@RyanBiddle603 @SpaceX We can't have too many direct shareholders or we're required to become a public co. Will check if possible through a feeder fund though.”

“@PPathole @Adamklotz_ @AaronS5_ @crheller @SpaceX Laser links in orbit can reduce long-distance latency by as much as 50%, due to higher speed of light in vacuum & shorter path than undersea fiber”

“@FredericLambert Cyborg Dragon Tesla almost done”

“RT @MarioNawfal: WALTER ISAACSON: I PREDICT ELON WILL BE SUCCESSFUL WITH DOGE “He pretty much owns SpaceX. If he wants to say, let's get…”

“@raytech247 @WholeMarsBlog The Model 3 production ramp was sheer agony for two years, but that was do or die for Tesla. No US car company has reached high volume production with sustained free cash flow in ~100 years. Hundreds of car startups all died or were absorbed for peanuts by big three.”

“RT @MarioNawfal: MARS ONCE HAD VACATION-WORTHY BEACHES—WHAT HAPPENED TO THEM? Turns out the Red Planet wasn’t always a dusty wasteland.…”

“@doug_ellison @dsfpspacefl1ght The performance numbers in this database are not accurate. In process of being fixed. Even if they were, a fully expendable Falcon Heavy, which far exceeds the performance of a Delta IV Heavy, is $150M, compared to over $400M for Delta IV Heavy.”

“RT @XFreeze: 8 years ago, SpaceX launched Falcon Heavy for the first time Payload was Elon Musk’s cherry-red Tesla Roadster with Starman -…”

“@21aeax US law requires at least a green card to be hired at SpaceX, as rockets are considered advanced weapons technology”

“@Erdayastronaut @PPathole @austinbarnard45 @LabPadre There are redundant pressure control valves. It’s a new system and SN3 was simply commanded wrong. Rockets are hard.”

“@Cardoso Silliest thing we can imagine! Secret payload of 1st Dragon flight was a giant wheel of cheese. Inspired by a friend & Monty Python.”

“@TJ_Cooney @lrocket @SpaceX @FelixSchlang @MarcusHouseGame That sounds correct. Tom certainly deserves a lot of credit for his excellent work on those engines! Dean Ono too for Kestrel & Draco.”

“@imPenny2x @rookisaacman @SpaceX Jared rocks”

“@PTrubey Early Atlas rockets used stainless, but it was certainly (incorrectly) considered to be far inferior to composites. All things considered, including strain-hardened strength at cryo, toughness, ease of welding on attachments, no need for paint and resistance to high”

“@paulg @NoahCarl90 [continued] The depth of Musk's brand erosion among ordinary Britons was driven home to me during a recent conversation with our falconer (who, despite his modest profession, holds two advanced degrees in medieval history). He compared Musk to a "bloody tosser," which I'm told…”
