“RT @johnkrausphotos: OTD 7 years ago: The debut of Falcon 9 Block 5, which has since become the workhorse launch vehicle of the modern era,…”

“@WholeMarsBlog Team is working on it. This will be a different release number.”

“@longmier Hopefully, only a few more months before there are 300 direct to mobile phone Starlink satellites in operation. That is the number needed to achieve continuous coverage over mid latitudes.”

“@DimaZeniuk Slightly different variants of stainless alloys are used in the rocket and truck, but pretty close overall”

“@WholeMarsBlog Vast majority of people have no idea this works”

“@WholeMarsBlog Also, being ruggedized for relentless salt spray & extreme winds & storms in deep ocean is not easy”

“RT @teslaownersSV: Starship will make us multi planetary https://t.co/lFxQuHLWjV”

“@ajtourville @Erdayastronaut @SpaceX Yes, but engines have a min throttle point where there is flameout risk, so landing on 3 engines means high thrust/weight (further away from hover point), which is also risky”

“@Erdayastronaut @SpaceX Absolutely, but to move to Mk3 design. This had some value as a manufacturing pathfinder, but flight design is quite different.”

“@Kristennetten @StianWalgermo @Tesla @ARKInvest @WholeMarsBlog @alex_avoigt @Teslarati @TeslaPodcast @mortenlund89 I was in the Berlin paint shop talking to the team on my last visit. It’s gonna be great! But bear in mind that it takes about a year for a new factory to reach volume production. Production is super hard work, which is why I have great respect for those who do it.”

“@SawyerMerritt @SpaceX The California Coastal Commission should be dissolved as an organization. An utterly insufferable and misanthropic group of Karens if there ever was one!”

“@rmcentush Starship could deliver 100GW/year to high Earth orbit within 4 to 5 years if we can solve the other parts of the equation. 100TW/year is possible from a lunar base producing solar-powered AI satellites locally and accelerating them to escape velocity with a mass driver.”

“@Erdayastronaut @josh_bickett @ajtourville @SpaceX Intuitively, it would seem so, but turbopump-fed Raptors have much higher thrust & propellant mass fraction than pressure-fed gas thrusters & they’re already there”

“@Teslarati Pretty much, although we also sent some Medtronic units, which are meant for extreme situations. Those require a lot of work to set up & operate. Should be used sparingly. SpaceX is making the valve at the heart of that system.”

“Really tempting to redesign upper stage for return too (Falcon Heavy has enough power), but prob best to stay focused on the Mars rocket”

“@mterrace @Investor421 @WholeMarsBlog @28delayslater Is this real?”

“@Erdayastronaut @SpaceX @Caspar_Stanley @IzanRamos2002 All mass necessitated by an engine design should count as engine mass, eg shrouds, TVC hydraulic power or excess purge gas. Raptors in production now have electric TVC, saving over a ton of hydraulics mass on booster.”

“@flcnhvy @ErcXspace Saves mass & cost of legs & enables immediate repositioning of booster on to launch mount — ready to refly in under an hour”

“@TashaARK Additive manufacturing of parts is still far too costly for cars, but can rapidly create tooling to accelerate pace of innovation. It’s already sensible for rocket engine parts. To the best of our knowledge, SpaceX is 2 or 3 years ahead of other companies in use of additive.”

“RT @SawyerMerritt: The California Coastal Commission has issued a formal apology to @elonmusk and SpaceX, adding that it will not consider…”

“@T3chFalcon 😂”

“@rocketisfine @leo190102 I was simply too sexy for it https://t.co/vugJLyZVjI https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=P5mtclwloEQ”

“@WholeMarsBlog I can sometimes be optimistic about schedules”

“RT @SpaceX: Falcon 9 aboard the Just Read the Instructions droneship after successfully completing our first international landing off the…”

“@ZainS180 @VikingRocket @WholeMarsBlog Cybertruck is intentionally an insane technology bandwagon”

“@sundarpichai Thanks :) SpaceX team is incredible. All done without AI so far, even Starship. With AI, I can’t even imagine the possibilities.”

“@mayemusk @SpaceX @POTUS @CivilRights Exactly. It’s insane.”

“@DMC_Ryan New Roadster is part rocket”

“@SmallPettingZoo @Starlink You can definitely game on Mars, but speed of light means no real-time gaming between Earth and Mars. Distance varies from ~4 to ~20 light-minutes.”

“@RationalEtienne @Erdayastronaut @Twisi80 Starship is literally more pointy because of that movie haha”

“Falcon before launch https://t.co/QqxvtBijoF https://www.instagram.com/p/BPZeLbtAzOW/”

“@ajtourville The main reason for coming in belly first is due to the subsonic orientation being a natural outcome of the center of mass and center of pressure being where they are needed for Starship to survive hypersonic heating by maintaining a ~70 degree angle of attack. Can’t come in…”

“RT @SpaceX: The Fram2 @framonauts and SpaceX completed a full rehearsal of launch day activities ahead of liftoff on Monday https://t.co/e1… null”

“@dogeofficialceo @WatchersTank @SpaceX Looking at pups soon!”

“@WholeMarsBlog Exactly!”

“@SawyerMerritt Starlink team is working hard to ensure an amazing Internet connectivity experience for Hawaiian Airlines flyers. Should be profound and feel you’re on the ground, not even in an airplane.”

“RT @interesting_aIl: SpaceX successfully caught a rocket booster mid-air for the second time in history https://t.co/MnYlrprbB4”

“RT @SpaceX: Falcon 9 and Dragon rolled out to pad 39A in Florida earlier today ahead of Tuesday’s launch of @Axiom_Space’s Ax-4 mission to…”

“@spacesudoer Shana is awesome. Many years ago, I asked her to lead the early VTOL development of Falcon (aka Grasshopper) and she did great work. Now, Shana is a senior member of the Starship engineering team.”

“@WholeMarsBlog @wintonARK Waitlist is too long. Will enable again as we ramp production.”

“@Montrey82631182 @Maks_NAFO_FELLA Oh hi fucktard. That Crimea strike was done before SpaceX received a sanctions exemption approval from the US government to provide connectivity in Crimea, so it would have been a felony crime for us to turn Starlink on at that time.”

“@torybruno @ChadBowman0 @thesheetztweetz Now, this sort of nonsense happens all the time with government contracts & everyone knows it. However, in this case, it is money diverted from making life multiplanetary, which is the goal of SpaceX, vs the ULA goal of maximizing dividends to Lockheed & Boeing. Not ok.”

“@WholeMarsBlog Yeah”

“@thesheetztweetz @BryceSpaceTech @SpaceX @roscosmos @Arianespace @ArianeGroup @northropgrumman @RocketLab @ulalaunch @VirginOrbit @torybruno Upmass is what matters. One Starship will lift what all Falcons did in Q2 on a single flight.”

“@Teslarati Great work by SpaceX valve engineering & production!”

“Congrats to Jeff Bezos and the BO team for achieving VTOL on their booster”

“RT @SpaceX: Liftoff! https://t.co/r4loES5iG0”

“@ICannot_Enough @WholeMarsBlog Lmaooo absolutely 🤣🤣”

“@NASAKennedy @SpaceX @Space_Station One Space Station image for each visit”

“@TeslaOwnersEBay @GailAlfarATX @Tesla @EvaFoxU @Proxima06_Aiai @DBurkland @lewins_ian @Lstad78 @1stMarsColonist @JosephVVallace @dubbleotrippleo No, I meant wide release to high safety score beta participants. Going to all beta participants is expected later this year.”
