“@ICannot_Enough @engineers_feed Yeah, it’s insane! Roughly 70% of Earth is ocean and most of the ocean has zero ships per Starlink cell. Most people think Earth is crowded with humans, but in reality it’s almost empty by surface area. Humans congregate in a very small percentage of Earth (cities). The entire…”

“@WholeMarsBlog I am not endorsing drugs, but I am saying that the evidence suggests that banning them is a net societal negative”
“@chazman @Tesla @Starlink @cybertruck Yes, Cybertruck FSD releases with 12.5, which also finally merges the city and highway code.”
“@thesheetztweetz 4 significant items: - Final heat shield tiles for ship - Thermal protection of booster engines - Ground propellant storage tanks - QD arm for ship 2 weeks.”
“@MarioNawfal Amazingly, no Starliner fines for Boeing! The FAA space division is harassing SpaceX about nonsense that doesn’t affect safety while giving a free pass to Boeing even after NASA concluded that their spacecraft was not safe enough to bring back the astronauts. There need to be…”
“@WholeMarsBlog And many other things”
“@FutureJurvetson @SpaceX This seems increasingly likely”
“@LabPadre @SpaceX You’re welcome”
“@ErcXspace @austinbarnard45 @SpaceX @NASASpaceflight Might take a few kicks at the can before we catch the rocket haha”
“@WholeMarsBlog 🤣 what could go wrong?”
“@WholeMarsBlog True”
“@NASASpaceflight Hopefully first try with booster 5”
“@NASASpaceflight 39A is hallowed spaceflight ground – no place more deserving of a Starship launch pad! Will have similar, but improved, ground systems & tower to Starbase.”
“@MarshaBlackburn ❤️”
“@DJSnM Orbital precession takes a long time. With Starship & Starlink V2.0, hopefully we can direct inject to target orbit.”
“@WholeMarsBlog 😂”
“RT @SpaceX: View under the launch mount as Super Heavy's 33 Raptor engines ignite on Starship's eighth flight test https://t.co/WRCazkhyXs”
“@Adamklotz_ @SpaceX Next major technology rev is at SN20. Those ships will be orbit-capable with heat shield & stage separation system. Ascent success probability is high. However, SN20+ vehicles will probably need many flight attempts to survive Mach 25 entry heating & land intact.”
“@Shastada0 Absolutely. Normal connectivity is often lost when there are wild fires, storms or flooding, but Starlink still works.”
“@WholeMarsBlog Me & this platform, for example”
“@SmokeAwayyy @SpaceX Exactly”
“@rschmied @spideycyp_155 @SawyerMerritt @SpaceX Big difference between peace comms vs warfront comms. Starlink is only comms system still working at warfront – others all dead. Russia is actively trying to kill Starlink. To safeguard, SpaceX has diverted massive resources towards defense. Even so, Starlink may still die.”
“@WholeMarsBlog The build I’m driving right now is almost there. FSD 10 will blow your mind.”
“@WatchersTank @LabPadre Congrats SpaceX tower team & supporting contractors!”
“@MatthewDR @WholeMarsBlog With 12.5”
“@sana_J2 @SpaceX And to be clear, I have never asked @realDonaldTrump for any favors, nor has he offered me any”
“@MarioNawfal This Starship is designed to traverse our entire solar system and beyond to the cloud of objects surrounding us. A future Starship, much larger and more advanced, will travel to other star systems.”
“Counting down to the first SpaceX launch from the Apollo 11 launch pad tomorrow morning (webcast… https://t.co/upjTcmftte https://www.instagram.com/p/BQpXxl5BIYX/”
“@IanSharar @WholeMarsBlog If what you say is true, who is writing the bs they’re buying?”
“@cnunezimages @SpaceX @SpaceIntellige3 Can I retweet this in cropped form?”
“@WholeMarsBlog @vincent13031925 4680”
“@WholeMarsBlog And this still isn’t using the dramatically better “4D” (aka simultaneous surround video from 8 cameras) architecture”
“@PPathole @SpaceX @mayemusk It is taking longer than expected to make the upper stage not expendable (sigh)”
“@SciGuySpace Shelby did his best to hold back SpaceX”
“@WholeMarsBlog Great video!”
“@Space_Station @SpaceX Wow, Station looks amazing!”
“@SawyerMerritt @Starlink @Gwynne_Shotwell SpaceX will be the largest PCB manufacturer in the Americas within a few months (low bar tbh)”
“@jessica_kirsh @SpaceX It’s awesome that people can see Starship so close up”
“@Erdayastronaut Yeah, Starship will be a tiny dot at 20km. Hard to see with naked eye. We’ll do lots of flights.”
“@Erdayastronaut Starship design goal is 3 flights/day avg rate, so ~1000 flights/year at >100 tons/flight, so every 10 ships yield 1 megaton per year to orbit”
“My favorite shot from the last rocket landing attempt on the droneship http://t.co/8a403c7Fv1”
“@lexfridman In theory, it saves landing leg mass & enables immediate reflight of an otherwise unwieldy, giant rocket”
“@WholeMarsBlog That must have been a bitter pill to swallow 😂”
“@WholeMarsBlog Lambert has a terminal case of EDS”
“@Erdayastronaut Starship catch is probably flight 13 to 15, depending on how well V3 flights go”
“@NASASpaceflight @BBCAmos Over time, we might get orbital payload up to ~150 tons with full reusabity. If Starship then launched as an expendable, payload would be ~250 tons. What isn’t obvious from this chart is that Starship/Super Heavy is much denser than Saturn V.”
“@amuse If Trump is not elected, the slow strangulation by overregulation will stop humanity from reaching Mars”
“@johnkrausphotos @SpaceX @PortCanaveral Version 3 of the SpaceX droneship. Team did great work! Will be epic to see the deep sea oil rigs converted to ocean spaceports for Starship.”
“@WholeMarsBlog Car should also reverse slightly if it peeks into an intersection & sees fast-moving cross-traffic (just like a person would)”
“@RajveerJolly We are developing the interplanetary rocket and spaceship to allow anyone to travel to the moon, Mars & beyond, regardless of nationality”
