“@PPathole @SpaceX @mayemusk It is taking longer than expected to make the upper stage not expendable (sigh)”

“@SciGuySpace Shelby did his best to hold back SpaceX”
“@WholeMarsBlog Great video!”
“@SawyerMerritt SpaceX launches competitor satellite systems without favor to its own satellites. Fair and square.”
“@Space_Station @SpaceX Wow, Station looks amazing!”
“@SawyerMerritt @Starlink @Gwynne_Shotwell SpaceX will be the largest PCB manufacturer in the Americas within a few months (low bar tbh)”
“@jessica_kirsh @SpaceX It’s awesome that people can see Starship so close up”
“@Erdayastronaut Yeah, Starship will be a tiny dot at 20km. Hard to see with naked eye. We’ll do lots of flights.”
“@Erdayastronaut Starship design goal is 3 flights/day avg rate, so ~1000 flights/year at >100 tons/flight, so every 10 ships yield 1 megaton per year to orbit”
“My favorite shot from the last rocket landing attempt on the droneship http://t.co/8a403c7Fv1”
“@lexfridman In theory, it saves landing leg mass & enables immediate reflight of an otherwise unwieldy, giant rocket”
“@WholeMarsBlog That must have been a bitter pill to swallow 😂”
“@ZainS180 @VikingRocket @WholeMarsBlog Cybertruck will reach far into a post-apocalyptic future & bring that technology to now”
“@WholeMarsBlog Lambert has a terminal case of EDS”
“@GailAlfarATX @SpaceX @cnunezimages I subscribed!”
“@WholeMarsBlog @StuartZuckerma1 ~4.5X increase in params should be ready for wide release later this year. Super frugal use of memory bandwidth, caching exactly what is needed & squeezing microseconds out of everything are needed to maintain the frame rate. And the whole system needs to be retrained.”
“@FedorovMykhailo Starlink data usage growth in Ukraine https://t.co/c4IWNwKwLR”
“@Erdayastronaut Starship catch is probably flight 13 to 15, depending on how well V3 flights go”
“@NASASpaceflight @BBCAmos Over time, we might get orbital payload up to ~150 tons with full reusabity. If Starship then launched as an expendable, payload would be ~250 tons. What isn’t obvious from this chart is that Starship/Super Heavy is much denser than Saturn V.”
“@amuse If Trump is not elected, the slow strangulation by overregulation will stop humanity from reaching Mars”
“@johnkrausphotos @SpaceX @PortCanaveral Version 3 of the SpaceX droneship. Team did great work! Will be epic to see the deep sea oil rigs converted to ocean spaceports for Starship.”
“@WholeMarsBlog Car should also reverse slightly if it peeks into an intersection & sees fast-moving cross-traffic (just like a person would)”
“@WholeMarsBlog They will switch from claiming that Tesla self-driving is fake to Tesla self-driving is unfairly good”
“@SawyerMerritt @rfdctr SpaceX is not asking to recoup past expenses, but also cannot fund the existing system indefinitely *and* send several thousand more terminals that have data usage up to 100X greater than typical households. This is unreasonable.”
“@WholeMarsBlog We are opening a lot more Superchargers. What regions are we missing?”
“@teslaownersSV @SpaceX You may be in an area that is at maximum capacity. Did SpaceX not provide an unsubscribe warning?”
“@WholeMarsBlog I do so wish that more companies would put down their spreadsheets for a moment and focus on making products that move your heart”
“@GregScott_photo @FarryFaz @SpaceX @MarcusHouse @LabPadre @13ericralph31 @spaceflashnews @spacex360 @SpaceIntellige3 @DJSnM @Erdayastronaut @ScalesNews SpaceX team is making great progress at the Cape & Starbase!”
“@geekwire Not SpaceX”
“@ErcXspace And ship will be caught by Mechazilla too. As with booster, no landing legs. Those are only needed for moon & Mars until there is local infrastructure.”
“@WholeMarsBlog The hands of Optimus”
“@WallStreetSilv @dogeofficialceo @TheRabbitHole84 @WholeMarsBlog @BillyM2k lmao”
“@lovemesomemusk @WholeMarsBlog Nope”
“@marv63804322 @WholeMarsBlog Will have both front & rear wheel steer, so not just like a tank – it can drive diagonally like a crab”
“@flcnhvy Good grief! SpaceX is getting zero money for this. Starship is designed to carry people & cargo around Earth (also to moon & Mars). Vast majority of use will be civilian. It’s just like an airline in space. All airlines sometimes carry military cargo, but ~99% is civilian.”
“@roscosmos @Rogozin @JimBridenstine Thank you on behalf of SpaceX! We have always admired your rocket/spacecraft technology.”
“@DataRepublican Mars will have direct democracy, which is less prone to corruption”
“@Astra Sorry to hear that. I’m sure you’ll figure it out though. Took us four launches to reach orbit. Rockets are hard.”
“@SawyerMerritt @SpaceX @Tesla Yay!”
“@ID_AA_Carmack Thanks John, really admire you too! I think you’re one of the best engineers ever. Hope you return to working on rockets one day.”
“@bluemoondance74 @ThugsAndMiracle @tfspeakcies @DearHistorians @DeepintoHistory @HellenisticPod @TrueConsPod @IWBpodcast @Coffincast @CacheHistory @AgeofVictoria @ForYourRefPod @WWIIPodcast @namelessdeadpod @ZombieFishbowl @AgeofNapoleon Raptor is making great progress! Just finished an engineering review with SpaceX Propulsion. Engine SN 17 is about to ship to McGregor with some holiday style 🎄😀 https://t.co/3JNIyxY9H0”
“@MarcusHouseGame Rapid & complete rocket reuse, low cost propellant, orbital refilling & propellant production at destination are the four essential elements of making life multiplanetary”
“RT @NASA: Four new crew members are on their way to the @Space_Station! NASA's SpaceX Crew-11 mission lifted off from @NASAKennedy at 11:…”
“@WholeMarsBlog Voice mode is still a little patchy, so probably launches in about a week, but it’s awesome”
“@WholeMarsBlog More than people realize”
“@kimitalvitie @SpaceX Outer engines stick out slightly from 9m diameter, don’t gimbal & are mechanically joined at nozzle”
“@WholeMarsBlog The government is the DMV at scale. How much DMV do you want? That’s the question people should ask themselves.”
“@teslaownersSV @SpaceX Starlink is a little patchy to Tonga right now, but will improve dramatically as laser inter-satellite links activate”
“@Erdayastronaut By “volume production”, I mean 2 to 4 engines per day. That’s super high volume for big rocket engines, but low volume by automotive standards.”
“@JM_Scindia @SpaceX @Starlink 🇮🇳”
