“In expendable mode, Falcon Heavy can send a fully loaded Dragon to Mars or a light Dragon to Jupiter's moons. Europa mission wd be cool.”

“@SpaceX Launch aborted on low thrust alarm. Rising oxygen temps due to hold for boat and helium bubble triggered alarm.”

“@SpaceX69_420 @permabulla @BillKristol I meant melanin 😂 Shows I’m retarded too!”
“@rookisaacman Thanks Jared. We will investigate the issue and look for any other potential near-misses. We are tracking to do more Falcon flights this year than Shuttle did in 30 years, the vast majority of which are uncrewed. A major advantage of this super high flight rate is that we can…”

“@Erdayastronaut @SpaceX @BoeingSpace @ulalaunch @Boeing Slight booster length increase to 70m, so 120m for whole system. Liftoff mass ~5000 mT.”

“@ConfuEth @WholeMarsBlog @StuartZuckerma1 Tesla AI/Autopilot could probably beat the best human around a track already. Eventually, it really won’t be a contest at all. Human reflexes cannot match machines.”
“@NASA @SpaceX @NASAKennedy I love @NASA!”

“@Erdayastronaut @RenataKonkoly @SpaceNews_Inc Am hoping to change booster design to land back on launch mount with no legs. Will require extreme precision.”
“@i_am_dipshikha @Spearcorps @Starlink This is false. Starlink satellite beams are turned off over India.”
“@FelixSchlang @SpaceX Probably, but not yet”

“@WholeMarsBlog What has become absolutely clear is that the plethora of self-driving corner cases can only be solved with real-world optical intelligence. This is how humans designed the road system to work. Once you have that in silicon form, everything else is just icing on the cake.”
“@SciGuySpace It’s a step in the right direction, but they should really aim for full reusability by 2026. Larger rocket would also make sense for literal economies of scale. Goal should be to minimize cost per useful ton to orbit or it will at best serve a niche market.”
“@teslaownersSV Later this year, if fate smiles upon SpaceX, the ship will be caught by the tower, just like the booster”

“@PPathole @SpaceX @Tesla That was my night job. Day job was working on ruthenium-tantalum ultracapacitors at Pinnacle Research.”
“@shortword @M3Marcel @WholeMarsBlog Current efficiency is 1.7kWh/mile, but there is a clear path to 1.6, possibly 1.5”
“@torybruno Your company said the exact opposite in 2014 when it got a sole-source, uncompeted $11B DoD launch contract. https://t.co/Abd5sWhZDt In any event, expendable rockets are as relevant to the future as expendable aircraft. Rapidly reusable rockets are all that matter. https://www.cbsnews.com/network/news/space/home/spacenews/files/042914_ula_blockbuy.html”
“@WholeMarsBlog Beta V8.3 has literally ~1000 improvements. Will take time to QA internally before release probably in two or three weeks.”
“@GailAlfarATX @SawyerMerritt Wow, working on this problem has soaked up a lot of my time & brain cycles over the past ~7 years! This and Starship engines are currently the two hardest problems.”
“@Andercot But the good news is that SpaceX will put big telescopes in space and giant ones on the Moon”

“@_rykllan @FelixSchlang @spaceXcentric @MarcusHouseGame @SpaceX Anyone tracking tonnage to orbit per year for all launch vehicles?”
“@Erdayastronaut @TJ_Cooney @lrocket @SpaceX @FelixSchlang @MarcusHouseGame He became a big fan of methane, but was not pushing it initially. That came from me reading about Soviet methane engine tests that got over 380 Isp. At that Isp, a subcooled methane stage gets slightly better delta-V than a hydrogen stage.”
“@SPEXcast @TrungTPhan Starship will be crushingly cost-effective for Earth orbit or moon missions as soon as it’s operational & rapid reuse is happening. Mars is a lot harder, because Earth & Mars only align every 26 months, so ship reuse is limited to ~dozen times over 25 to 30 year life of ship.”

“@rustyrockets What are you talking about? Nothing has changed.”
“Conducted hold-down firing of returned Falcon rocket. Data looks good overall, but engine 9 showed thrust fluctuations.”
“@TimFernholz Efficiently reusable rockets are all that matter for making life multiplanetary & “space power”. Because their rockets are not reusable, it will become obvious over time that ULA is a complete waste of taxpayer money.”
“@marshallk @Esqueer_ Absolutely”
