“@WholeMarsBlog Increasingly possible”
“@Erdayastronaut @CopSub In our experience, COPV gain/pain flattens out above 6000 psi and is <1 above 10,000 psi, unless volume constrained like Dragon. Heating from pressurization & cooling from depressurization also become major problems at very high pressure.”
“RT @cb_doge: This picture was taken on Mars yesterday. https://t.co/auyKZUlikd”
“@GailAlfarATX Starship has 33 engines! If an engine failure is isolated, then many engines greatly increases reliability (Starship only loses <3% of thrust). If not, then reliability is terrible. The difference is at least 2 orders of magnitude.”
“@WholeMarsBlog Automatically drive to most obvious location unless occupant says otherwise”
“@Erdayastronaut We’ve already done a lot of iteration on ship. For rapid reusability, booster must return to launchpad, so inert mass impacts ascent, boostback & landing burns. Triple whammy. Also, booster flight rate is ~5X that of ship, so multiple mass $ cost by 5.”
“RT @SpaceX: Counting down to Starship's eighth flight test. Weather looks favorable at the pad and the 60-minute launch window opens at 5:3…”
“@teslaownersSV @BillyM2k @WholeMarsBlog It sure is hard to find a news source that’s accurate, relevant & not totally depressing! Old-school version of The Economist & Jon Stewart Daily Show / Colbert Report were great.”
“@omarsar0 👍”
“RT @iam_smx: Next time you are thinking of giving up remember this photo. 2006 - Elon Musk staring at debris from Falcon 1, which was the…”
“@existentialcoms That article was pushed as propaganda to counter IMF study showing fossil fuel subsidies to be $5 trillion/year. Even if $4.9B was true, combined market cap of Tesla & SpaceX is $80B. Where did the other $75B come from? Ass 🎩 …”
“@karpathy @WholeMarsBlog Same”
“@WholeMarsBlog 🤣”
“@WholeMarsBlog Good point”
“@WholeMarsBlog Yes”
“@PPathole @Rainmaker1973 The amazing part will be having an orbital rocket that is fully & rapidly reusable with any payload at all! Everyone else gave up when they realized that their fully reusable payload<0. We still have a long way to go.”
“@WholeMarsBlog The esthetics of the new rendering will improve”
“@NASASpaceflight Starship is a hard problem”
“@MrManderly @mysteriouskat @Independent @rustyrockets Good point. Politicians & political parties should be supported on their merits, not like they are one’s favorite sports team.”
“@SpaceXMR Heavy comes in more like a javelin. Similar to Falcon 9, but caught by the tower vs landing on legs.”
“RT @WholeMarsBlog: Voters: We want massive reform Biden judge: Sorry, I can't allow it”
“@RocketLab Congrats on many successful launches!”
“@Cmdr_Hadfield @astroscale_HQ We could make a hungry hippo version of Starship to chomp and deorbit space debris”
“@OprahSide Maybe he should design flag of Mars”
“@ashleevance @wholemars 😂💯”
“RT @SpaceX: Falcon 9 has landed, completing our final planned landing at LZ-1 https://t.co/ZlW1Ptp7DG”
“@DimaZeniuk @SpaceX @SirineAti @captainarve @andst7 @WholeMarsBlog @EvasTeslaSPlaid @GailAlfarATX @JaneidyEve @TeslaAIBot @1stMarsColonist And we need to add 3 more Raptor Vacuum engines, because it’s inevitable”
“@loracyaknosiner @WholeMarsBlog 💯 It’s Anchor Man en masse, but who wrote the memo?”
“RT @cb_doge: "When I was a kid, I built model airplanes, trainsets, rockets, a radio, lots of software. Built a primitive MRI machine in co…”
“@Erdayastronaut Building 100 Starships/year gets to 1000 in 10 years or 100 megatons/year or maybe around 100k people per Earth-Mars orbital sync”
“Ascent phase & satellites look good, but booster rocket had a RUD on droneship”
“@WholeMarsBlog What you’re seeing now is just the tip of a very big woke iceberg”
“RT @SpaceX: Installing the redesigned fuel transfer tube into the first next generation Super Heavy booster. Roughly the same size as the…”
“@SpaceX Shooting stars”
“@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!”
“@WholeMarsBlog Customer experience suffers when there is an end of quarter rush. Steady as she goes is the right move.”
“@DolllarPo Service turns on next month, which is same time required to deliver a user terminal, so order now at https://t.co/Q1VvqV58aK http://Starlink.com”
“@WholeMarsBlog Tesla FSD test, X Livestream test & attempted Zuck fight triple header!!!”
“RT @Starlink: Starlink will soon be available on British Airways, Aer Lingus, Iberia, Level and Vueling aircraft. Stream, game, work and m…”
“@Lukeleisher Tom is awesome. Taught me an immense amount about liquid rocket engines. And he’s just a great guy.”
“@spideycyp_155 @EvaFoxU True, Starlink provided a decisive battlefield advantage”
“@Cmdr_Hadfield @SpaceX @OurWorldInData Exactly. And many areas of countries showing good Internet actually have poor or no access, so those are important to address too.”
“@WholeMarsBlog I just watched this at 2X speed on this platform”
“@WholeMarsBlog The amazing part is being so high on the list despite not using BCG”
“@tobyliiiiiiiiii @Erdayastronaut @NASASpaceflight Might just catch the ship with the launch tower, same as booster”
“@l3nnybob @Grimezsz Preferably, on Mars”
“@WholeMarsBlog Fixed in 12.4. The 12.3.x releases are very minor changes.”
“@WholeMarsBlog Team found a bug causing an 8% delay in detecting pedestrians at >50m. That’s been fixed, so rolling out tonight.”
“@flcnhvy @AstroBehnken @Astro_Doug @SpaceX Still long way to go. Reuse only matters to degree that it’s rapid & complete.”
