“@thesheetztweetz @NASAKennedy @SpaceX It is hard to overstate criticality of reusable rockets. No less important than reusable aircraft, cars or bicycles. Essential for humanity to become a multiplanet species & backup the biosphere.”
“Daylight rocket launch & landing at the Cape this weekend. Will be the 1st SpaceX flight from the Apollo launch pad. https://t.co/Vr5LQjYaPZ http://observer.com/2017/02/spacex-will-fly-a-rocket-back-to-earth-in-broad-daylight-this-weekend/”
“@AustinTeslaClub To be precise, completely & immediately reusable orbital rockets are the fundamental breakthrough needed to make life multiplanetary”
“@ticketwaxter Extending life to Mars would ensure humanity's survival and be the greatest, most exciting adventure ever!”
“@InfographicTony @MarcusHouse @FelixSchlang @considercosmos @GregScott_photo @LunarCaveman @SpaceX @SpacesFuture @TJ_Cooney @LabPadre @Erdayastronaut Three center Raptors of Booster will fire at ~50% thrust during hot staging”
“@SpaceX Standing down for today to inspect rocket. Hopefully launching tomorrow.”
“@PPathole @SpaceX Moving to 33 engines on next booster”
“@_rykllan @SpaceX @NASASpaceflight @FelixSchlang @MarcusHouse @bluemoondance74 The rocket fleet grows”
“@katlinegrey I have been chief engineer/designer at SpaceX from day 1. Had I been better, our first 3 launches might have succeeded, but I learned from those mistakes. https://t.co/3r6ZqEc30A https://arstechnica.com/science/2018/07/as-the-spacex-steamroller-surges-european-rocket-industry-vows-to-resist/3/”

“From last year, but still my favorite video of the Falcon 9 rocket booster returning from space… https://t.co/b935pdz2Xi https://www.instagram.com/p/BYTrSaHgS-Z/”
“@BaptisteVicini No, it actually was an act of charity. But we can’t force other companies to make great electric vehicles. That is not within our power. At SpaceX, we don’t even bother with patents. Copy our rockets if you want.”
“@SpaceX We're going to spend the 4th doing a full review of rocket & pad systems. Launch no earlier than 5th/6th. Only one chance to get it right …”
“@SciGuySpace SpaceX rockets are 80% reusable, theirs are 0%. This is the actual problem.”
“@cnunezimages @SpaceX Well ya see we need to reach around the rocket to uhh …”
“@nextspaceflight @NASASpaceflight @BocaChicaGal @SpaceX 29 Raptors on Booster initially, rising to 32 later this year, along with thrust increase per engine. Aiming for >7500 ton thrust long-term. T/W ~1.5.”
“@jessica_kirsh @SpaceX Booster production is currently ahead of engine production”
“@WatchersTank @SpaceX We’re almost done with first prototype booster. This will go to test stand A. Next one will fly to orbit. Team has been crushing it many days & nights in a row!”
“If u saw @TheSimpsons and wonder why @SpaceX doesn't use an electric rocket to reach orbit, it is cuz that is impossible”
“@ErcXspace @austinbarnard45 @SpaceX @NASASpaceflight Might take a few kicks at the can before we catch the rocket haha”
“Presentation of @SpaceX Interplanetary Spaceship & Rocket design from 2016 https://t.co/3b1YWWmmxg https://m.youtube.com/watch?feature=youtu.be&v=H7Uyfqi_TE8”
“@roscosmos @Rogozin @JimBridenstine Thank you on behalf of SpaceX! We have always admired your rocket/spacecraft technology.”
“@MarcusHouseGame Rapid & complete rocket reuse, low cost propellant, orbital refilling & propellant production at destination are the four essential elements of making life multiplanetary”
“@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.”
“RT @teslaownersSV: SpaceX is making fully rapidly reusable rockets The holy grail of rocketry https://t.co/VgdOiRJSxl”
“@SpaceX @INTELSAT Thanks @INTELSAT! Really proud of the rocket and SpaceX team today. Min apogee requirement was 28,000 km, Falcon 9 achieved 43,000 km.”
“RT @SpaceX: The second successful catch of the Super Heavy booster https://t.co/FanOyDoE8Z”
“@flcnhvy @DJSnM Neuralink this month & Tesla next month, SpaceX probably October. We will have made a lot of progress by then. Might have a prototype booster hop done by then.”
“RT @SpaceX: Super Heavy has splashed down in the Gulf of America, gathering data for the next generation booster https://t.co/o72ciKBZYm”
“RT @SpaceX: Liftoff of the first flight-proven Super Heavy booster and thrice flown Raptor engine https://t.co/dwXkhVyRG6”
“@ID_AA_Carmack SpaceX’s goal is to make life multiplanetary, whereas their goal is to put a handful of satellites in orbit”
“@ErcXspace @SpaceX @Erdayastronaut @MarcusHouseGame @FelixSchlang Great render. Note, there will need to be an arm that lifts booster to launch stand & ship to booster.”
“@_rykllan @SpaceX @NASASpaceflight @FelixSchlang @MarcusHouse @bluemoondance74 The rocket fleet grows”
“@nextspaceflight Stage Zero, which is everything needed to launch & catch the rocket, is at least as hard as the booster or ship”
“@TLPN_Official @SpaceX Depending on progress with Booster 4, we might try a 9 engine firing on Booster 3”
“@thesheetztweetz @BryceSpaceTech @SpaceX @Arianespace @ArianeGroup @roscosmos @northropgrumman @ulalaunch @torybruno @isro @RocketLab Actually, 41 tons for SpaceX in Q3 & aiming for 80 tons in Q4. That said, China launch mass to orbit is extremely impressive.”
“Sabotage of the rocket is unlikely, but this article has some great theories :) https://t.co/1fCRbZvRHo https://theringer.com/ranking-potential-saboteurs-of-elon-musks-spacex-venture-ff66e7e2b23f#.kdgjprg5c”
“@ErcXspace @NASASpaceflight @SpaceX Long-term, ship would land on tower arms, like booster”
“Ascent phase & satellites look good, but booster rocket had a RUD on droneship”
“RT @SpaceX: Installing the redesigned fuel transfer tube into the first next generation Super Heavy booster. Roughly the same size as the…”
“@JTLonsdale @JeffBezos In past years, Blue Origin also sued to stop SpaceX from using what is now our primary launchpad at 39A and tried to patent landing a rocket on a ship, even though that idea had been around for 70 years!”
“12m rocket booster diameter, 17m spaceship diameter, 122 m stack height”
“@Erdayastronaut @SpaceX @BoeingSpace @ulalaunch @Boeing Slight booster length increase to 70m, so 120m for whole system. Liftoff mass ~5000 mT.”
“@teslaownersSV Later this year, if fate smiles upon SpaceX, the ship will be caught by the tower, just like the booster”
“@Erdayastronaut @thesheetztweetz @BryceSpaceTech @SpaceX @Arianespace @ArianeGroup @roscosmos @northropgrumman @ulalaunch @torybruno @isro @RocketLab True”
“@Erdayastronaut @TJ_Cooney @lrocket @SpaceX @FelixSchlang @MarcusHouseGame He became a big fan of methane, but was not pushing it initially. That came from me reading about Soviet methane engine tests that got over 380 Isp. At that Isp, a subcooled methane stage gets slightly better delta-V than a hydrogen stage.”
“@TimFernholz Efficiently reusable rockets are all that matter for making life multiplanetary & “space power”. Because their rockets are not reusable, it will become obvious over time that ULA is a complete waste of taxpayer money.”
“@Erdayastronaut @SpaceX @Caspar_Stanley @IzanRamos2002 All mass necessitated by an engine design should count as engine mass, eg shrouds, TVC hydraulic power or excess purge gas. Raptors in production now have electric TVC, saving over a ton of hydraulics mass on booster.”
“@TashaARK Additive manufacturing of parts is still far too costly for cars, but can rapidly create tooling to accelerate pace of innovation. It’s already sensible for rocket engine parts. To the best of our knowledge, SpaceX is 2 or 3 years ahead of other companies in use of additive.”
