“@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!”
“@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”
“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.”
“@Dragonboy155 😂”
“@arstechnica SpaceX Crew Dragon ships to the Cape in about 3 months”
“@WholeMarsBlog Cocaine does not meet that test”
“@aaronjcash @WholeMarsBlog @brandonee916 @vincent13031925 @SpaceX 🤣”
“@WholeMarsBlog @NASASpaceflight @BBCAmos There is a reason no fully reusable orbital rocket has been built – it’s an insanely hard problem. Moreover, it must be rapidly & completely reusable (like an airplane). This is the only way to make life multiplanetary. Efficiencies of scale is why Starship is so large.”
“@WholeMarsBlog Berlin will use 4680 cell with structural battery pack & front & rear single piece castings. Also, a new paint system. Lot of new technology will happen in Berlin, which means significant production risk. Fremont & Shanghai will transition in ~2 years when new tech is proven.”
“@WholeMarsBlog You might be right about that”
“@WholeMarsBlog Well said”
“@CSI_Starbase Agreed, we recently made this change & many others. An intense effort is underway to achieve robust engine containment in case of RUD to protect booster, other engines & launch ring.”
“@Adamklotz_ @BryceSpaceTech Starlink missions will move to Starship”
“RT @SpaceX: Launch and ascent of Starship's eleventh flight test https://t.co/mbMVb6jebW”
“@TJ_Cooney Wow, 2011 seems like eons ago! With fairing recovery, Falcon is ~80% reusable, but reflight takes several days & requires boats. Starship will be fully reusable with booster reflight possible every few hours & ship reflight every 8 hours. No boats needed.”
