“RT @SpaceX: Booster 18, the first Super Heavy V3, is beginning prelaunch testing. The first operations will test the booster's redesigned p…”

“@Matt_Lowne Forward flaps will change a lot in upcoming versions of Starship – smaller & more leeward”

“@WholeMarsBlog Given significant architectural changes, including fundamental improvements to pure vision, there is limited value to testing 8.x. Hoping to upload V9.0 & button next month.”

“@Erdayastronaut @tobyliiiiiiiiii @austinbarnard45 @SuperclusterHQ I’m in Boca every week, so maybe we could talk then. Given that Starship is not exactly subtle, this is more of a design clarification to match what people can already see.”

“@krassenstein Starlink needs to be a civilian network, not a participant to combat. Starshield will be owned by the US government and controlled by DoD Space Force. This is the right order of things.”

“RT @Starlink: Devastating to hear of the earthquake’s toll on Thailand and Myanmar. The SpaceX team is prepared to provide Starlink kits to…”

“@DJSnM @ThePrimalDino Center core moving too fast return. Falcon Heavy is a 3 (or 2.5) stage rocket, but full & rapid reusability on Earth demand a 2 stage rocket. 1st stage returns to launch site immediately via boostback & 2nd stage orbits until ground track passes back over launch site to return.”

“RT @Gwynne_Shotwell: Congratulations to the SpaceX team on completing 500 (!!!!) missions with flight-proven rocket boosters. You’ve made t…”

“@WholeMarsBlog A lot”

“@GadSaad I know several people who got myocarditis. I almost had to go to the hospital after my second booster shot, which was mandatory in order to travel.”

“@RenataKonkoly @Erdayastronaut First one to fly will, so Booster 4. Booster 3 will be used for ground tests. We’re changing much of design from 3 to 4. Booster 3 was very hard to build. Expect especially rapid evolution in first ~10 boosters & first ~30 ships.”

“RT @SpaceX: Falcon 9 delivers 27 @Starlink satellites to orbit from Florida https://t.co/253lhQRUdI”

“@Teslarati Wouldn’t read too much into this. Likely to be fewer F9/FH flights, but possibly an order of magnitude more than these numbers in Starship flights.”

“@WholeMarsBlog Note, buying FSD will still be a better long-term deal than subscription”

“Falcon Heavy thrust will be 5.1M lbf at liftoff -- twice any rocket currently flying. It's a beast...”

“@WholeMarsBlog We’re aiming for a significant improvement for owners outside the US around March, depending on regulatory approvals”

“RT @SpaceX: Falcon 9’s first stage has landed on the Of Course I Still Love You droneship https://t.co/HtKJta8V08”

“@Erdayastronaut @TJ_Cooney @lrocket @SpaceX @FelixSchlang @MarcusHouseGame Tom has some great stories about experimenting with premixed O2/CH4 before SpaceX. That is not recommended haha.”

“@Erdayastronaut @SpaceX @Caspar_Stanley @IzanRamos2002 Enabling engines to take the heat without shrouds might save over 10 tons, all things considered. Shrouds are also a risk in that fuel leaks could be contained by the shroud, forming a MOX bomb. Booster is purging all 33 engine shrouds in flight to prevent this.”

“@Tesla_Club_DK @Tesla @BilimpDK @KimGabaJensen @TroyTeslike @piloly @SawyerMerritt @WholeMarsBlog @alex_avoigt @teslaeurope @Tesmanian_com Cool”

“RT @SpaceX: Falcon 9’s first stage has landed on LZ-1 in Florida https://t.co/Ma6dpDgLsF”

“RT @SpaceX: Falcon 9 completes the first 27th launch and landing of a booster and delivers 27 @Starlink satellites to the constellation fro…”

“@Adamklotz_ @Erdayastronaut @SpaceX Yes”

“@WholeMarsBlog This is WokeGPT’s response 🤮 🤮 https://t.co/4Jg2QmIXfJ”

“@SciGuySpace If all goes well, Falcon 9 will achieve triple digits this year”

“Will post video next week of designing a rocket part with hand gestures & then immediately printing it in titanium”

“@waEMD @SpaceX Glad SpaceX could help! We are prioritizing emergency responders & locations with no Internet connectivity at all.”

“@WholeMarsBlog Sensors are a bitstream and cameras have several orders of magnitude more bits/sec than radar (or lidar). Radar must meaningfully increase signal/noise of bitstream to be worth complexity of integrating it. As vision processing gets better, it just leaves radar far behind.”

“@WholeMarsBlog I once did a road trip across most of US with 2 adults & 5 kids in a Model S!”

“@perthguppy Yeah, Starlink should be active by then”

“@DimaZeniuk @billhuang688 @woonomic @VaibhavSisinty I should, but that would take a lot of time away from Tesla, SpaceX & other work. Walter Isaacson is writing a book.”

“RT @SpaceX: Today’s mission is the first time Falcon 9 will land on a droneship off the coast of The Bahamas! https://t.co/09CmkFPoXD”

“@MarioNawfal Of course moving to Mars is not yet an option, but it will be if civilization can last another 25 years or so”

“@SawyerMerritt Hydrogen is silly for cars and only barely sensible for rockets, where payload is ~1000 times more valuable”

“@WholeMarsBlog @cybertruck Just did, so I guess …”

“RT @SpaceX: Starship’s Raptor engines ignite during hot-staging separation. Super Heavy is boosting back towards its splashdown site https:…”

“@SirineAti Starship is in a different league. Orders of magnitude more mass to orbit than Falcon. Necessary for creating a self-sustaining city on Mars.”

“@thethrill57 @SpaceX @Starlink @TMobile @FCC @ATT You’re right that we should make it work for all carriers for emergency services. This is something we’re working on.”

“@rschmied @spideycyp_155 @SawyerMerritt @SpaceX Internet fiber, phone lines, cell towers & other space-based comms in war areas have been destroyed. Starlink is all that’s left. For now. https://t.co/CdjbOWgziz https://www.wired.com/story/viasat-internet-hack-ukraine-russia/amp”

“@WholeMarsBlog Until you drive it, you don’t realize how fun it is!”

“@SciGuySpace Starship is making good progress”

“RT @iam_smx: Welcome to SpaceX, the Company that will take humanity to Mars! https://t.co/81yyeF76uq”

“@Erdayastronaut @PPathole @vincent13031925 Fully reusable rockets want high T/W to minimize $/ton to orbit, because propellant cost actually matters”

“RT @SawyerMerritt: Elon Musk: "We're gonna take DOGE to Mars! Can you imagine how awesome it will be to have American astronauts plant the…”

“RT @SpaceX: Falcon 9 and Dragon roll out to the launch pad at 39A in Florida for @NASA's Crew-10 mission to the @Space_Station https://t.co…”

“@Some1gg Transpiration cooling will be added wherever we see erosion of the shield. Starship needs to be ready to fly again immediately after landing. Zero refurbishment.”

“@WholeMarsBlog 🤣💯👍”

“RT @SpaceX: Teams rolled Falcon 9 and Dragon out to the pad at 39A in Florida ahead of the vehicles going vertical https://t.co/AgbhtUQdhc”

“@SpaceXMR 🤣”

“@austinbarnard45 @SuperclusterHQ Great pics! That we now have the beginnings of a Starship production system is most meaningful.”
