“@Erdayastronaut @SpaceX Great video. Couple notes: Raptor designed for subcooled CH4/O2, so propellant density & thrust increase up to ~8%, as needed for mission. 380 Isp & up to 50% thrust/weight improvement over time. Merlin thrust/weight doubled from V1, but Raptor is closer to optimum.”

“@JasonDanheiser @WholeMarsBlog @28delayslater Self-driving cars & useful humanoid robots require a sophisticated understanding of reality. I am increasingly convinced that they are on the path to solving AGI. Should AGI be solved? I don’t know, but humanity is moving rapidly in this direction whether I like it or not.”

“RT @WholeMarsBlog: The Tesla Takedown protests that aim to destroy Tesla in order to attack Musk were organized by Alex Winter, also known…”

“@SciGuySpace SpaceX will do orbital refilling several times next year with Starship V3. Because we are simply docking with ourself, this is a much easier problem than docking with the Space Station, which SpaceX already does several times a year.”

“@_TomCross_ Million tons to Mars requires R R R”

“@_rykllan @SpaceX @NASASpaceflight @FelixSchlang @MarcusHouse @bluemoondance74 The rocket fleet grows”

“@MinimalDuck @Tesla @Gfilche @WholeMarsBlog Tunnels …”

“@SpaceActivist88 @JeffGreason @peterrhague @SpaceNotJohn SpaceX will colonize Mars. The fundamental question is whether Earth civilization can maintain its technology level long enough for the colony to grow on its own, even if the supply ships stop coming. If yes, then humanity will pass the single-planet Fermi Great Filter.”

“@Erdayastronaut I talked about Falcon 9 & Heavy for over a decade!”

“RT @johnkrausphotos: Falcon 9 transits the 100% full Moon during tonight’s 8:53:30pm ET launch of 21 Starlink satellites from Florida 🚀🌕 ht…”

“RT @cb_doge: This picture was taken on Mars today. https://t.co/1UON0RzoEk”

“@MeetLuis @WARREZ420 @WholeMarsBlog Rawlinson was never chief engineer. He arrived after Model S prototype was made, left before things got tough & was only ever responsible for body engineering, not powertrain, battery, software, production or design.”

“@SawyerMerritt Also, Starlink is still losing money! It is insanely difficult for a LEO communications constellation to avoid bankruptcy – that was the fate of every company that tried this before. When asked what the goal of Starlink was at a space conference, I said “not go bankrupt”.”

“Starlink https://t.co/EWgE6qqnNj https://x.com/i/grok/share/vA96712bbqcHG9nBHNWXBopDO”

“@SamTwits My true moral error was creating Tesla & SpaceX at same time, while avoiding general mgmt chores at Tesla (focusing only on product & engineering). Tried to have my cake & eat it too, which failed.”

“@SciGuySpace We should have a base on the moon, a city on Mars”

“RT @Starlink: In response to the Canadian wildfires, Starlink is providing one month of free service to existing and new customers in the i…”

“@WholeMarsBlog @POTUS (Ahem)”

“RT @SpaceX: Splashdown of Dragon and the @framonauts confirmed – welcome back to Earth @satofishi, @astro_jannicke, @rprogge, and @Icetrek!…”

“@GokuAurelius @Erdayastronaut Roughly 800 to 1000 per year. That’s about what’s needed over ten years to create the fleet to build a self-sustaining city on Mars. City itself probably takes roughly 20 years, so hopefully it is built by ~2050.”

“@WholeMarsBlog Hardware 4 will ultimately be better, but all training is for Hardware 3, with HW4 running in emulation mode”

“@SciGuySpace Simply scaling up Starlink V3 satellites, which have high speed laser links would work. SpaceX will be doing this.”

“@RGVaerialphotos @SpaceX Progress”

“@FutureJurvetson @_BryceTech @SpaceX Once Starship is flying frequently with real payloads next year, then SpaceX will probably deliver >95% of total Earth payload to orbit, despite others, especially China, continuing to grow. In 2027, maybe as high as 98%.”

“SpaceX & Tesla comp is same or better than other companies. Big diff is that we don't outsource manufacturing, retail sales or service.”

“@TheMarsSociety @NASA Some amount of cooperation would be good”

“@WholeMarsBlog Good point”

“@DonaldJTrumpJr @SpaceX @realDonaldTrump 🚀”

“@AdrianDittmann Well, then I think Neil will be pleasantly surprised by what SpaceX does in the future”

“@999BPM @tesla_adri @WholeMarsBlog No amount of money can defy physics”

“@Manic_Marge @SpaceX True ♥️”

“@SawyerMerritt Competing with SpaceX is tough”

“@BillyM2k @WholeMarsBlog 🤣”

“@PeterDiamandis Let’s get Starship V3 flying repeatedly and then sure”

“@ajtourville @SpaceX This is now possible”

“@WholeMarsBlog Just want to reiterate that there is no glass house (metaphors don’t count lol) built, under construction or planned! I’m not building any house of any kind anywhere. Period.”

“@TheBabylonBee He will rocket straight to the top!”

“@ajtourville A stainless steel Starship is essentially the same mass as an advanced carbon fiber or aluminum-lithium version, given that it is a reusable rocket, as steel can handle much higher heat loads, requiring less shielding, and its strength increases dramatically at cryogenic…”

“@WholeMarsBlog And several major improvements are coming”

“@WholeMarsBlog Human overseen at first, then fully self-driving”

“@Acyn This Community Note is false. SpaceX could have brought the astronauts back last year, but Biden pushed the return past the inauguration date. Legacy media is NOT a reliable source.”

“@WholeMarsBlog FSD will save millions of lives”

“Rocket reentry is a lot faster and hotter than last time, so odds of making it are maybe even, but we should learn a lot either way”

“RT @astro_Pettit: My best sighting of a Starlink satellite "train" from orbit! https://t.co/WratClL8NJ”

“@chainsawdotcom @CL207 SpaceX Starlink bought a tiny – not large – ad package to test effectiveness of Twitter advertising in Australia & Spain. Did same for FB/Insta/Google.”

“RT @SERobinsonJr: STARLINK: Ontario will miss its 2025 rural broadband goal, pushing it to mid-2028. This is due to Ontario Premier Doug Fo…”

“@JonErlichman Starlink was *extremely* difficult to build. Thanks to an epic team and many years of hard work, it has succeeded.”

“@MarcusHouse @artzius Current plan is to increase base Raptor thrust to ~230 tons or ~500 million lbs & increase booster engine count to 32 or 33”

“@WholeMarsBlog There is always a lot of cleanup after a major code release. Beta 9.2 will be tight. Still some fundamentals to solve for Beta 10, but now that we’re pure vision, progress is much faster. Radar was holding us back.”

“@tobyliiiiiiiiii @RationalEtienne @SPEXcast @William_M_Brown @PPathole @thesheetztweetz @waEMD @SpaceX @SpaceXStarlink @WANationalGuard Oh yeah, Starship update coming in about 3 weeks. The design has coalesced. What is presented will actually be what flies to orbit as V1.0 with almost no changes.”
