“@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”

“@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!”

“@WatchersTank @SpaceX Just one skyscraper catching another nbd haha”

“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.”

“@torybruno @ChadBowman0 @thesheetztweetz Now, this sort of nonsense happens all the time with government contracts & everyone knows it. However, in this case, it is money diverted from making life multiplanetary, which is the goal of SpaceX, vs the ULA goal of maximizing dividends to Lockheed & Boeing. Not ok.”

“@BryceSpaceTech @SpaceX Still very tiny potatoes compared to what’s needed to make life multiplanetary”

“@bdcs Yup, it is super far. Moon is basically in our back yard relative to Mars.”

“@WallStreetSilv That was at the SpaceX Texas rocket test site about 4 years ago. We’ve been there since 2002.”

“RT @SpaceX: Booster 18, the first Super Heavy V3, is beginning prelaunch testing. The first operations will test the booster's redesigned p…”

“@Erdayastronaut @TJ_Cooney @lrocket @SpaceX @FelixSchlang @MarcusHouseGame Tom has some great stories about experimenting with premixed O2/CH4 before SpaceX. That is not recommended haha.”

“@Erdayastronaut @SpaceX @Caspar_Stanley @IzanRamos2002 Enabling engines to take the heat without shrouds might save over 10 tons, all things considered. Shrouds are also a risk in that fuel leaks could be contained by the shroud, forming a MOX bomb. Booster is purging all 33 engine shrouds in flight to prevent this.”

“@MarcusHouse @LordofEa @kerrikgray @chicago_glenn @Tesla @teslaownersSV @dvorahfr @TonyadeVitti @SpaceX @SirineAti That’s the plan, unless it is damaged in testing. What really matters is that ship & booster production line is spooling up. Also, each new ship & booster has incremental design improvements.”

“@astro_greek Many funny details on Raptor. The special metal alloy SpaceX created for the rocket nozzles turns green, so we painted Hulk on the first one.”

“@DJSnM @Erdayastronaut @SpaceX @Caspar_Stanley @IzanRamos2002 Electric power for booster & ship is needed even when engines aren’t running & incremental power draw of TVC isn’t too bad. We have local supercaps on each engine to deal with power spikes.”

“@astro_g_dogg Took more work to make F9 booster reuse cost-effective than went into recovering it in the first place. This is an important point. Things finally clicked into place with Block 5. My hat is off to everyone at SpaceX, NASA, Space Force, FAA & suppliers who helped make it happen.”

“@danielmarshal15 It can dig up almost anything.”

“@hisdirtremoves @SpaceX I can’t comment on turbopump internal details, but you’re roughly in the ballpark. Wow, rocket turbopumps, especially if oxygen-rich, are insanely hard! Arguably, the hardest mechanical/fluids/combustion problem known to exist.”
