“@Erdayastronaut @SpaceX No, Raptor uses a large number of coaxial swirl injectors, which (we believe) achieves highest theoretical mixing/combustion efficiency.”
“@ErcXspace @SpaceX @NASASpaceflight @Erdayastronaut @MarcusHouseGame @FelixSchlang Not bad”
“@NASASpaceflight Needs to be level & match booster fittings. We will find out on ~Tuesday.”
“@justpaulinelol Maybe on Starship? It’s def got the payload capacity …”

“@WholeMarsBlog Would be cool to make a game using Tesla Sim that’s literally your city & neighborhood, down to skid marks on road & then inject fantasy/sci-fi elements”
“Mostly accurate and fun movie about Mars. Worth seeing. https://t.co/6ujt1DG5j5 https://x.com/martianmovie/status/633986792216092678”
“@lrocket @SpaceAbhi Gwynne and I didn’t tell the company, as it would have been demoralizing”
“@WholeMarsBlog FSD releasing to Canada next week”
“@wholemars Yeah”
“@jessica_kirsh @SpaceX @TeslaAIBot @Tesla Cool :)”
“@WalterIsaacson Accurate. [Technical note: Linux in 1999 was still early days, whereas Windows had a whole video game dev community to draw upon. In later years with SpaceX & Tesla, I obviously went with Linux. Also, Max was unequivocally wrong that the site wouldn’t work with Windows. It…”
“@TrevorMahlmann @SpaceX Major esthetics improvements coming”
“RT @SpaceX: For the first time in our existence, we possess the means, technology, and, for the moment, the will to establish a permanent h…”
“@Devon_Eriksen_ @JoelSercel You need to get mass from a substrate, like the Moon or Mars, to grow a major civilization, which obviously requires vast amounts of mass. It is extremely inefficient to keep moving the mass out of some planetary gravity well to grow and the asteroid belt is too far away and too… https://t.co/szkQy2bsVw https://x.com/i/web/status/2022026590738075848”
“@WholeMarsBlog Yup”
“@Erdayastronaut @inspiration4x Yeah. We’d use our Ka parabolics or laser links for Dragon, Starship or other spacecraft as soon as they got above cloud level.”
“Provided Dragon 2 demo missions go well, SpaceX is highly confident of being able to fly US astronauts in 2018 https://t.co/usUto6QSi7 http://www.theverge.com/2017/2/16/14640618/nasa-spacex-boeing-astronaut-iss-2018”
“@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.”
“@WholeMarsBlog 12.4.2 is much smoother. Challenge is keeping safety high, while increasing ride comfort. Build moves to internal testing tomorrow.”
“@PPathole @Teslarati @13ericralph31 If we are able to make life self-sustaining on Mars, we will have passed one of the greatest filters. That then sets us up to become interstellar. Earth is ~4.5B years old, but life is still not multiplanetary and it is extremely uncertain how much time is left to become so.”
“@flcnhvy @SpaceX Small note: latch on post near base is gone & powered Ethernet wire is less obtrusive in production version”
“@TribeHoh @SpaceX @WAStateCommerce You’re most welcome!”
“@WholeMarsBlog Exactly”
“RT @cb_doge: "I will die in America. I'm not going anywhere. I might go to Mars but that will be part of America." 🇺🇸 一 Elon Musk https://…”
“@WholeMarsBlog In my opinion, yes”
“@Scobleizer As I mention in that Joe Rogan episode, I don’t think getting stoned is super helpful for productivity and I obviously have no idea how to smoke a joint 😂 Following that episode, I had to get randomly drug-tested several times a year for almost three years for SpaceX to…”
“Currently looking good for a Sunday night (~8pm local) attempted orbital launch and rocket landing at Cape Canaveral”
“@SpacePadreIsle @SpaceX Great work by SpaceX engineering!”
“Dragon splashdown off the California coast http://t.co/4Bvfmei8I3”
“@WholeMarsBlog @FutureJurvetson @Tesla @karpathy Bot is not directly on the path of accelerating a sustainable energy future, but it aspirationally improves the probability that the future is good”
“RT @SpaceX: Interplanetary Transport System is not just for Mars https://t.co/X2uV5moBya”
“@Erdayastronaut @Caspar_Stanley No, bottom static aero pushes engine section back, counteracting Starship’s low center of mass on reentry caused by the engine section. Aiming for 60 to 70 deg angle of attack during high heating portion of flight. Don’t want to reenter with engines blasted by plasma.”
“@PPathole @arstechnica @SciGuySpace If 2021 manifest is met, SpaceX will do ~75% of total Earth payload to orbit with Falcon. A single Starship is designed to do in a day what all rockets on Earth currently do in a year. Even so, ~1000 Starships will take ~20 years to build a self-sustaining city on Mars.”
“RT @WholeMarsBlog: The Tesla Takedown protests that aim to destroy Tesla in order to attack Musk were organized by Alex Winter, also known…”
“@AstroBehnken @SpaceX @NASA @Space_Station Manufactured only 5 mins from LAX!”
“@SciGuySpace Zach made a significant contribution to SpaceX & is a friend. I wish him well as he tries something new.”
“@WholeMarsBlog V11 is 💥”
“@WholeMarsBlog Much better”
“@DannyLaShep With steel membrane wings like a Dragon, we may be able to lower Starship’s orbital reentry temp to ~1000 degrees C, which would allow the whole surface to be uncooled bare metal”
“@AlexFinnX It is such an honor to work with the incredible SpaceX team”
“@WholeMarsBlog @tkrisher He’s actually a lobbyist, not a journalist. There are many who pose as the latter while behaving like the former. No integrity. Indeed, there were no safety issues. The car simply slowed to ~2 mph & continued forward if clear view with no cars or pedestrians.”
“@Gfilche @MadeInTheUSANJ I’m just talking about the mid-term elections in November. Not sure that there is a third party candidate. It’s rather hard to support a party when prominent members of that party keep attacking me and sidelining Tesla & SpaceX!”
“@nextspaceflight Payload reduction due to reusability of booster & fairing is <40% for F9 & recovery & refurb is <10%, so you’re roughly even with 2 flights, definitely ahead with 3”
“@kevinrose @Starlink And it will improve significantly when Starship starts launching the third generation satellites at 350km altitude (5 ms speed of light round trip latency) with larger antennas that allow for multi-gigabit bandwidth”
“@teslaownersSV Starship V4 will have 42 engines when 3 more Raptors are added to a significantly longer ship. That will fly in 2027. Starship V3 is a massive upgrade from the current V2 and should be through production and testing by end of year, with heavy flight activity next year.”
