“@WholeMarsBlog Yeah”

“@SpaceX We’re updating satellite software to run the ion thrusters at their equivalent of warp 9. Unlike a Star Trek episode, this will probably not work, but it’s worth a shot. The satellite thrusters need to raise orbit faster than atmospheric drag pulls them down or they burn up.”

“@SERobinsonJr Upper stage restart to raise perigee resulted in an engine RUD for reasons currently unknown. Team is reviewing data tonight to understand root cause. Starlink satellites were deployed, but the perigee may be too low for them to raise orbit. Will know more in a few hours.”

“@reddit_lies @WholeMarsBlog It really is”

“Starlink Mini”

“@RichardHanania Best to hear it in the words I have used in many interviews over the years. I have not fwiw “volunteered my sperm” 😂 No one at SpaceX has been directed to work on a Mars city. When people have asked to do so, I’ve said we need to focus on getting there first.”

“@WholeMarsBlog 😂”

“@WholeMarsBlog 12.5.x will finally combine the city and highway software stacks”

“@westcoastbill @Starlink Get Starlink!”

“@CarlosBitMe Worth getting Starlink even if as backup”

“@MarioNawfal Starship V3 should be capable of close to 200 tons of payload when operating as a tanker”

“@WholeMarsBlog Absolutely”

“@SawyerMerritt Hydrogen is silly for cars and only barely sensible for rockets, where payload is ~1000 times more valuable”

“Cool, glad @Starlink could help!”

“@ajtourville @Starlink Much appreciated!”

“@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.”

“@WholeMarsBlog May he continue to have fun on his yachts. I prefer to work.”

“@elon_docs There were no cases of successful privately-funded rocket companies at the start of SpaceX and the last truly successful car company startup was Chrysler, about a century ago”

“@niccruzpatane @SHAQ @Tesla @WholeMarsBlog @tesla_na Cool”

“@peterrhague Almost all that matters regarding Starship is that it enables consciousness to extend permanently beyond Earth. Everything else is in the noise.”

“What you sometimes see in the night sky from the Cape in Florida and similar (just no Dragon) from southern California”

“@WholeMarsBlog 😂 Once Tesla fully solves autonomy and has Optimus in volume production, anyone still holding a short position will be obliterated. Even Gates.”

“@WholeMarsBlog Yeah”

“@roelofbotha @SpaceX @Starlink Hope you like it”

“Unmodified picture of the Falcon launch https://t.co/n9LHYLEiGb”

“@WR4NYGov Mars will be ruled by the Martians”

“Starlink now available in Madagascar!”

“@DJSnM But the Moon Station that Starship will enable will be great”

“@georgenjoroge_ @amerix Starlink Mini will be about half the standard terminal price and available later this year”

“@LMSpace @SpaceX You’re most welcome”

“@WholeMarsBlog Yeah, we just need to confirm there are no safety regressions”

“@WholeMarsBlog 12.4.2 is much smoother. Challenge is keeping safety high, while increasing ride comfort. Build moves to internal testing tomorrow.”

“Falcon Heavy side boosters land in Cape Canaveral, Florida https://t.co/2rV2g5ff6B”

“@SawyerMerritt An obviously disingenuous response. Not cool of them to try (for the third time) to impede SpaceX’s progress by lawfare.”

“@spacesudoer It’s often some aspiring academic who couldn’t build a working rocket if you put a gun to their head lol”

“@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!”

“Part 2 of the Starship discussion with @Erdayastronaut”

“@sara_spangelo @Starlink Cool”

“@Erdayastronaut @Teslaconomics @SpaceX We could build a lot more, but the next version of Raptor is really the one to scale up production. We begin testing it in McGregor within a week or so. Regenerative cooling and secondary flow paths have been made integral to the whole engine, thus no heat shield is required.…”

“Everyday Astronaut interview and Starship factory tour!”

“@WholeMarsBlog @Vanguard_Group Yeah”

“@WholeMarsBlog True”

“@michaelnicollsx @Starlink Cute dog”

“@spacesudoer That was not the founding of SpaceX. We were in Russia to negotiate buying some ICBMs and converting them to launch a philanthropic mission to Mars. I later came to realize that the problem wasn’t the will to go to Mars – there is plenty of public interest – but rather that…”

“@WholeMarsBlog Then HW5, which has been renamed to AI5, in the second half of next year. The Tesla AI5 computer has ~10X the capability of HW4 computer and Tesla makes the whole software stack.”

“@WholeMarsBlog Mostly HW4, some Dojo”

“@saschasegan @AlecStapp Utterly false. Starlink has excess capacity in low population density areas that are extremely hard to serve by fiber, which is what this money is supposed to solve.”

“@WholeMarsBlog 😂”

“@WholeMarsBlog Yeah”

“@WholeMarsBlog Wow, that’s crazy! Surely some people should lose their jobs over this? If wasting billions isn’t enough, what *does* it take!?”
