“@austinbarnard45 Total coincidence! Also, booster height was originally 70m, but we eliminated a half barrel for manufacturing efficiency, so now it’s …”

“@WholeMarsBlog It was a mistake to try to use the Elise. In the end, only ~5% of the Elise parts ended up being used. Tesla Roadster is a totally different car.”
“@austinbarnard45 Starship SN6 flew asimilar hop to SN5, but it was a much smoother & faster operation”
“@WholeMarsBlog @ConsumerReports Tesla is half a decade ahead or more”
“@WholeMarsBlog Suppliers. We’re only doing high energy nickel ourselves, at least for now. Also, maybe the presentation wasn’t clear that we’ve actually had our cells in packs driving cars for several months. Prototypes are trivial, volume production is hard.”
“@cnunezimages @SpaceX Well ya see we need to reach around the rocket to uhh …”
“@WholeMarsBlog In that case, you’ll love 11.4.1”
“@WholeMarsBlog Not sure who wrote this, but it’s accurate https://t.co/gRvWxOJZ56”

“@WholeMarsBlog @Reuters This is a hard thing for us to do right now, as we don’t have enough satellites with laser links and there are already geo sats that serve the Tonga region. That is why I’m asking for clear confirmation.”

“RT @SpaceX: The first Starship V3 has left the build site to begin prelaunch testing https://t.co/DMZVMuRQVl”
“@RocketLab Congrats!”
“@SpaceX @Starlink Back in the saddle!”
“@tobyliiiiiiiiii This is intended for Earth, but there may be some ideas that apply to Mars too”
“@yousuck2020 Thanks for helping fund a rocket & spaceship that could take humanity beyond Earth!”
“RT @Space_Station: The @SpaceX Dragon spacecraft carrying four #Crew9 members undocked from the station at 1:05am ET today and is headed fo…”
“@WholeMarsBlog @SawyerMerritt @Tesla He doesn’t get enough negative feedback. This platform is great for that :).”
“@RyanZohoury @WholeMarsBlog @semaforben Good point. Conflicts of interest should be made readily apparent to the reader.”
“@jamesdouma @CernBasher @matt_vanswol It’s a useful exercise for Mars too, where vast solar arrays will be needed plus fission”
“Falcon Heavy test flight currently scheduled for late summer”
“@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”
“@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”
“@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.”
“@WholeMarsBlog FSD will soon exceed 10,000 miles between critical interventions, which is a year of driving for most people”
“@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 We must focus on FSD for the other 99% of the fleet. Cybertruck FSD is a few months away.”
“@_SFTahoe @tslamoon1 @WholeMarsBlog That would be nice”
“@Teslarati @13ericralph31 @StarshipGazer As backdrops go, this is a good one”
“@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”
“@Teslarati @13ericralph31 It’s a big deal that Dragon is reusable, with improved refurbishment efficiency with each passing flight! This is not the case for other orbital spacecraft. It means the spacefleet grows every time a new Dragon is made.”
“@teslaownersSV First, no one has ever mentioned rehab to me ever. Second, if they are saying that I was able to lead Tesla to be by far the most valuable carmaker and SpaceX to be by far the most valuable space company *simultaneously*, that is the greatest compliment I have ever received!”
“@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 @jimfarley98 @mrlevine Just drove FSD Beta 9.3 from Pasadena to LAX. Much improved!”
“@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”
