“It has been 18 years since the first Falcon flight of Falcon 1 failed https://t.co/Ha6ynd8cry”
“@ajtourville @Starlink Cool”
“@GregWAutry @rookisaacman @SpaceX Hubble is cool, but there needs to be a new visible spectrum space telescope with far larger aperture”
“@WholeMarsBlog Exactly”
“@WholeMarsBlog Exactly”
“@astro_anil @PolarisProgram @annawmenon @SpaceX Cute 🥰”
“@PolarisProgram @SpaceX @Starlink @Gillis_SarahE @StJude @ElSistemaUSA @rookisaacman @KiddPoteet @annawmenon Beautiful”
“@MarioNawfal Starlink will still work”
“@WallStreetSilv Moreover, SpaceX could do it for far less if there weren’t irrational requirements attached, like requiring that we also provide a phone with 911 capability even though everyone already has a phone”
“@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…”
“Starship will make life multiplanetary, preserving life as know from extinction events on Earth, so long as it is not smothered by bureaucracy. There is more government regulatory smothering every year. If this continues, all large projects in the United States will be illegal.…”
“Starlink coming to United Airlines!”
“@FoxNews @SpaceX @cvpayne @OutnumberedFNC Yes”
“Congratulations @SpaceX Dragon team, @rookisaacman and the crew of @PolarisProgram!”
“Emerging from Dragon for spacewalk https://t.co/OfV8uB3ycd”
“Dragon hatch is open and the cabin is now at vacuum (zero) pressure https://t.co/Dbwfjw2gBZ https://x.com/i/broadcasts/1OyJAZnwZqLxb”
“Dragon is now more than three times further from Earth than the Space Station”
“@6463dc @ajtourville @FCC @Starlink Yeah!”
“Starlink now available in the Cook Islands”
“@JohnSaw @TMobile @Starlink Cool”
“@WholeMarsBlog In my opinion, yes”
“Dragon astronauts are now further from Earth than any humans in over half a century!!”
“We will never get humanity to Mars if this continues”
“During this mission, Dragon will travel repeatedly through the orbital altitudes of over 10 thousand satellites and bits of space debris. No room for error in our calculations.”
“Congratulations SpaceX team and the @PolarisProgram crew!!”
“@johnkrausphotos @PolarisProgram Nothing beats seeing a rocket launch”
“@esherifftv @PolarisProgram @Starlink Such an epic view”
“@ajtourville @Starlink Cool”
“@WholeMarsBlog We should change that so the yoke is stationary, as it is not mechanically coupled to the wheels. Same goes for when it is on Autopilot.”
“@WholeMarsBlog We are opening a lot more Superchargers. What regions are we missing?”
“@ajtourville @Starlink A beautiful factory, inside and out”
“@WholeMarsBlog The most exciting times ever!”
“@ajtourville @Starlink Cool”
“@twatterbaas @Starlink Waiting for regulatory approval”
“@DimaZeniuk Non-SpaceX satellites in orbit also increased, but at a much slower pace. Starlink is just a different level of technology.”
“@WholeMarsBlog Yeah”
“@paulg Attempting to land giant spaceships on Mars will happen in that timeframe, but humans are only going after the landings are proven to be reliable. 4 years is best case for humans, might be 6, hopefully not 8.”
“@AdrianDittmann Well, then I think Neil will be pleasantly surprised by what SpaceX does in the future”
“@ajtourville @Starlink Probably best to have a Starlink ground station for remote towns, as that can provide 10s of Gigabits of bandwidth”
“@WholeMarsBlog How many fake articles have you seen about Tesla at this point? 100, 1000, maybe several thousand? WSJ is talking nonsense.”
“@WallStreetSilv Max payload to standard Earth reference orbit is actually ~180 tons for Starship when it is fully reusable and ~300 tons if expendable. Latter number is the apples-to-apples number comparing Starship to Saturn V. >100 tons to the Starlink orbit is the operational spec minimum.”
“The first Starships to Mars will launch in 2 years when the next Earth-Mars transfer window opens. These will be uncrewed to test the reliability of landing intact on Mars. If those landings go well, then the first crewed flights to Mars will be in 4 years. Flight rate will…”
“SpaceX created the first fully reusable rocket stage and, much more importantly, made the reuse economically viable. Making life multiplanetary is fundamentally a cost per ton to Mars problem. It currently costs about a billion dollars per ton of useful payload to the surface…”
“@lexfridman Have you read Asimov’s Foundation books? They pose an interesting question: if you knew a dark age was coming, what actions would you take to preserve knowledge and minimize the length of the dark age? For humanity, a city on Mars. Terminus.”
“Starlink now available in Zimbabwe!”
“@WholeMarsBlog True”
“@ajtourville @Starlink It is great Internet 🤷♂️”
“@RenataKonkoly @lrocket Yeah, game-changer! We do still use COPVs for a few things on Starship, like nitrogen purge and engine spin start.”
“@lrocket Definitely for super high pressure tanks, but a stainless steel Starship is roughly similar in mass to a carbon fiber version (which is where we started out) and way cheaper/easier to make. Stainless gets that massive bump in strength at cryo and needs much less shielding for…”
