“@WholeMarsBlog I don’t comment on everything, as sometimes I don’t see it and commenting on everything makes it easy to fish for information. The take rate is much higher than 2%. Please.”
“@cnunezimages @SpaceX @SpaceIntellige3 Human for scale”
“@WholeMarsBlog xAI is burning the 4am oil LFG!!!”
“@darewecan Starlink satellites will not close the link in Russia”
“@WholeMarsBlog 🎯”
“RT @cb_doge: 🚨 BREAKING: Elon Musk watching the Starship 9 test flight from the control center. https://t.co/eldff8EdMX”
“@occupymars42069 Maybe one day”
“@Emmett__Osborne @WholeMarsBlog I was prepared to accept either outcome”
“@WholeMarsBlog Still a few legacy NNs using single cam, single frame that need to move to surround video”
“@jessica_kirsh @SpaceX Booster production is currently ahead of engine production”
“@SciGuySpace Cumulative payload to orbit is the really crazy number. Falcon has delivered more than double rest of world combined over trailing 12 months.”
“@WholeMarsBlog Any car company that fails to solve self-driving will die”
“@jonbbc @WholeMarsBlog @aelluswamy 10.69.1 is even better. We reduced latency & jitter in hardware command loop, so time from object detection to brake actuation is 10% to 20% better.”
“@SawyerMerritt The “subsidies” he’s talking about simply do not exist. DJT has already removed or put an expiry date on all sustainable energy support while leaving massive oil & gas subsidies untouched. SpaceX won the NASA contracts by doing a better job for less money. Moving those”
“@WholeMarsBlog Our NNs didn’t have any temporal & spatial memory or surround video auto-labeling back then – everything was knitted together in C++ from single frames with manual labeling. Still much to improve.”
“@WholeMarsBlog The path to overwhelming victory is clear, but a massive amount of work remains”
“@imPenny2x @SecDuffyNASA They won’t. SpaceX is moving like lightning compared to the rest of the space industry. Moreover, Starship will end up doing the whole Moon mission. Mark my words.”
“@WatchersTank @SpaceX We’re almost done with first prototype booster. This will go to test stand A. Next one will fly to orbit. Team has been crushing it many days & nights in a row!”
“View of Dragon from @Space_Station cupola https://t.co/1HjljLWdFi”
“@NASA Starship has the potential to return serious tonnage from Mars within ~5 years”
“@wapodavenport However, even if it were 16 flights with docking, this is not a problem. SpaceX did more than 16 orbital flights in first half of 2021 & has docked with Station (much harder than docking with our own ship) over 20 times.”
“If u saw @TheSimpsons and wonder why @SpaceX doesn't use an electric rocket to reach orbit, it is cuz that is impossible”
“@WholeMarsBlog Fixed in 12.4”
“RT @VoteMarsha: It’s been 1,394 days since I asked Ketanji Brown Jackson a simple question: Can you define the word ‘woman’? Her answer wa…”
“@SawyerMerritt 8/8 and year of the Dragon”
“@thesheetztweetz Work needed between flights is less & less, as shown by shortening time between reflights. Required work between flights for Starship & Super Heavy is zero.”
“@WholeMarsBlog 12.5.x will finally combine the city and highway software stacks”
“@ICannot_Enough @engineers_feed Yeah, it’s insane! Roughly 70% of Earth is ocean and most of the ocean has zero ships per Starlink cell. Most people think Earth is crowded with humans, but in reality it’s almost empty by surface area. Humans congregate in a very small percentage of Earth (cities). The entire…”
“@FedorovMykhailo @Brian_J_Berger @SpaceX @SpaceXStarlink @Honda @ChampionGen @westinghouse @DuroMaxPower @W__Home Solar area will need to be higher with obscuration, but works better than one might think”
“@WholeMarsBlog I am not endorsing drugs, but I am saying that the evidence suggests that banning them is a net societal negative”
“@BillyM2k The only thing keeping the other orbital rocket programs alive is government protection or they’d be deader than a doornail and everyone knows it. But oh well … comme ci, comme ça.”
“@rustyrockets @bariweiss @shellenberger @mtaibbi 💯”
“@thesheetztweetz 4 significant items: - Final heat shield tiles for ship - Thermal protection of booster engines - Ground propellant storage tanks - QD arm for ship 2 weeks.”
“@MarioNawfal Amazingly, no Starliner fines for Boeing! The FAA space division is harassing SpaceX about nonsense that doesn’t affect safety while giving a free pass to Boeing even after NASA concluded that their spacecraft was not safe enough to bring back the astronauts. There need to be…”
“@WholeMarsBlog And many other things”
“@FutureJurvetson @SpaceX This seems increasingly likely”
“@LabPadre @SpaceX You’re welcome”
“@ErcXspace @austinbarnard45 @SpaceX @NASASpaceflight Might take a few kicks at the can before we catch the rocket haha”
“@WholeMarsBlog 🤣 what could go wrong?”
“@WholeMarsBlog True”
“@NASASpaceflight Hopefully first try with booster 5”
“@NASASpaceflight 39A is hallowed spaceflight ground – no place more deserving of a Starship launch pad! Will have similar, but improved, ground systems & tower to Starbase.”
“@MarshaBlackburn ❤️”
“@DJSnM Orbital precession takes a long time. With Starship & Starlink V2.0, hopefully we can direct inject to target orbit.”
“@WholeMarsBlog 😂”
“@FedorovMykhailo @Starlink You’re welcome”
“RT @SpaceX: View under the launch mount as Super Heavy's 33 Raptor engines ignite on Starship's eighth flight test https://t.co/WRCazkhyXs”
“@Adamklotz_ @SpaceX Next major technology rev is at SN20. Those ships will be orbit-capable with heat shield & stage separation system. Ascent success probability is high. However, SN20+ vehicles will probably need many flight attempts to survive Mach 25 entry heating & land intact.”
“@Shastada0 Absolutely. Normal connectivity is often lost when there are wild fires, storms or flooding, but Starlink still works.”
