“@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.”
“@josh_bickett @ajtourville @Erdayastronaut @SpaceX Yeah. By default, engine with least lever arm would shut down if all 3 are good.”
“@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”
“@NASAEarthMars That is quite an interesting story. We sent what appeared to be identical emails to all, but each was actually coded with either one or two spaces between sentences, forming a binary signature that identified the leaker.”
“@thejackbeyer @NASASpaceflight @BocaChicaGal @NicAnsuini Our focus is on reliability upgrades for flight on Booster 7 and completing Booster 9, which has many design changes, especially for full engine RUD isolation.”
“@tunguz He is just plain wrong. Almost the entire founding team of @SpaceX was over 30. Over half of the founding team of Tesla was too.”
“@WholeMarsBlog Remarkable how few people realize this capability exists. Many think it is 5 years away! With public beta rollout in coming weeks, awareness should improve dramatically.”
“@WholeMarsBlog As mentioned previously, this is a major release, so we need to be cautious. Goes out to ~1000 Beta participants later today.”
“@WholeMarsBlog They stand so far to the left that I’m surprised they can even see the right!”
“RT @cb_doge: BREAKING: MrBeast just posted a new video touring SpaceX’s massive Starship rocket manufacturing facility in Texas. https://t.…”
“RT @teslaownersSV: The scale of the Starship is insane and 🤯🤯🤯 https://t.co/6k9Ky0ZPMZ”
“@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.”
“RT @DimaZeniuk: Elon Musk in the United States: • Tesla’s HQ and factories • SpaceX’s facilities and launch sites • Starlink’s operations…”
“@WholeMarsBlog We are waiting for regulatory approval”
“@Thomas_Sergeant @beffjezos My “net worth” will just track SpaceX+Tesla market cap, so will be whatever that is as a percentage of GDP”
“@MarcusHouse The next stage of the Starship program should be called The Two Towers”
“@MuskUniversity Based on the Falcon launch plan for next year, SpaceX will deliver ~90% of all Earth payload to orbit. Starship will take that to >99% in future years. These magnitudes are madness to consider, but necessary to make consciousness multiplanetary.”
“@WholeMarsBlog @jimfarley98 @mrlevine FSD Beta 9.2 is actually not great imo, but Autopilot/AI team is rallying to improve as fast as possible. We’re trying to have a single stack for both highway & city streets, but it requires massive NN retraining.”
“@Jaydev_Chauhan_ Yeah, SpaceX team is cranking hard!”
“@PPathole @nextspaceflight @NASASpaceflight @BocaChicaGal @SpaceX Actually, so-called “secondary” structure is the hard part – so many pipes & wires. Tall stuff & small stuff are the toughest things about Starship.”
