“@SpaceX The most advanced rocket engine ever made by far. Raptor 3 and subsequent versions will make life multiplanetary and progress civilization towards Kardashev II.”
“RT @teslaownersSV: Amazing timelapse of a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket booster returning to Earth from space https://t.co/6btKvDz1IQ”
“Starship is the first ever rocket design capable of making life multiplanetary. Becoming multiplanetary is a milestone that, if achieved, would fit in the top 10 biggest events in the evolution of life. And it would greatly extend the lifespan of civilization, enabling a far… [@cb_doge] For the first time ever, there is a rocket capable of establishing a permanent base on Mars. )”

“@SidewalkSciGuy @SpacexFan9876 @Erdayastronaut @Sloppy93 @annerajb @flcnhvy @austinbarnard45 Falcon rocket booster is aluminum-lithium & carbon fiber, which have low max temperature allowables. Super Heavy booster is stainless steel. Since it only goes to around Mach 8 or 9, moreover at high altitude, it needs no heat shield, not even paint.”
“SpaceX is starting a program to take CO2 out of atmosphere & turn it into rocket fuel. Please join if interested.”
“@WholeMarsBlog @NASASpaceflight @BBCAmos There is a reason no fully reusable orbital rocket has been built – it’s an insanely hard problem. Moreover, it must be rapidly & completely reusable (like an airplane). This is the only way to make life multiplanetary. Efficiencies of scale is why Starship is so large.”
“@peterrhague It’s designed to make life multiplanetary, otherwise extreme overkill for mere Earth sector activity! Starship fleet mass to orbit per year will be more than 1000 times all current Earth rockets combined, including Falcon. Necessary, for a city on Mars.”
“@ludan27 @Erdayastronaut @JeromeJaccard @Robotbeat @alan1bernard Yes, but single stage to orbit with no payload is pointless. Add Super Heavy rocket booster & orbital payload is gigantic. Only need booster on Earth, due to deep gravity well & thick atmosphere. Starship alone on moons & Mars.”
“Congrats @SpaceX Falcon team on 50 successful missions already this year! Highest flight rate of any rocket ever.”
“13 years ago [@KanekoaTheGreat] Elon Musk talks to Jon Stewart about Paypal, Tesla, and SpaceX in 2012. "When I was in college, there were three areas I thought would most affect the future of humanity: the internet, sustainable energy, & space exploration, particularly making life multiplanetary." @elonmusk”
“The Biden administration launched a massive multi-year lawsuit against SpaceX for not hiring asylum seekers, despite the fact that SpaceX is legally BARRED from hiring non-permanent residents under ITAR, because rockets are an advanced weapons technology. In other words, it was… [@MarioNawfal] 🚨🇺🇸COMMON SENSE PREVAILS AS DOJ DROP LAWFARE CASE AGAINST SPACEX In a major turnaround, the Department of Justice announced it would dismiss its lawsuit accusing SpaceX of discriminating against immigrants when hiring. Filed under Biden, the DOJ accused SpaceX of wrongly… )”
“🥧 [@Teslaconomics] Happy 24th Birthday @SpaceX! 🚀 Exactly 24 years ago today - March 14, 2002 - Elon founded SpaceX. It only makes sense to now IPO the world’s most innovative company so any human can own a piece of this multiplanetary future! Ad Astra!”

“As a summer intern many years ago, I wrote software for video games at a company called Rocket Science. This was long before SpaceX was even conceived. Didn’t realize until a friend gave me a copy today that they included me in the credits 🥰 https://t.co/adU1J81ESq”
“Congrats to the @SpaceX team for the first time completing 10 rocket launches & landings in a single month!”
“SpaceX has come a long way, but we are still at the very beginning of making life multiplanetary and being a true spacefaring civilization https://t.co/zHQj02EcOi”
“@EdKrassen My concern was more the outrageous demand that people *must* take the vaccine and multiple boosters to do anything at all. That was messed up. Until the Supreme Court invalidated Biden’s exec order, SpaceX and many other companies would have been forced to fire anyone who…”
“Half a decade ago [@NASA] Five years ago, @NASA_Astronauts Robert Behnken and Douglas Hurley launched to the @Space_Station aboard a @SpaceX Dragon spacecraft and Falcon 9 rocket. Our Demo-2 mission was the first time American astronauts launched on an American rocket from the U.S. in nearly 10 years.”

“Indeed, it was *because* I was not from the aerospace industry that SpaceX made such radical breakthroughs. Same for Tesla. Those in the industry would have if they could have. [@ray4tesla] In this 2015 interview, the host — a Tsinghua University professor — expressed genuine curiosity about how Elon Musk was able to found SpaceX without prior experience and knowledge in aerospace, especially given that rocket science is one of the most demanding hard sciences — and”
“I have so much respect for the associates doing an honest day’s work at Tesla or SpaceX building & servicing cars, rockets, Starlinks, batteries, solar & many other things”
“🚀 [@thatsKAIZEN] Every American owes it to themselves to go see a SpaceX rocket launch. They’re a reminder that there's more to life than politics and problems. It would be useful to make this a field trip for public schools. There is no better demonstration of what makes America special.”
“Great work by the @SpaceX team! [@FutureJurvetson] The latest rocket launch market share report just dropped 🚀 SpaceX launched 88.5% of all satellites in Q2, on track to hit the 90% share @ElonMusk predicted for the rest of 2025. By weight lofted to orbit, SpaceX did 86% of the global total. And it’s a power law; once you”

“Can make gigantic waffles too [@SpaceX] The first grid fin for the next generation Super Heavy booster. The redesigned grid fins are 50% larger and higher strength, moving from four fins to three for vehicle control while enabling the booster to descend at higher angles of attack.”
“As is pointed out below, the SpaceX Falcon rocket will do more launches and carry more payload to orbit this year than the Space Shuttle did in its entire history [@ApoStructura] Falcon 9 vs Space Shuttle, all launches in one chart. F9 is on track to launch more times in 2025 alone than the Space Shuttle has in its history. Hard to overstate how successful SpaceX’s approach to reusability has been.”
