“@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.”

“@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 …”

“@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”

“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”

“@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 🤣💯👍”
