“@bluemoondance74 @Erdayastronaut @SpaceX Just spoke with FAA, so hopefully yes”
“@Erdayastronaut @thesheetztweetz @SciGuySpace @Some1gee Sorry, meant to say only US rocket. Atlas V is close, but not yet 100%.”
“@BrentM_SpaceX @xai Happy Thanksgiving to you and the team! I look forward to seeing everyone this weekend.”
“RT @thejackbeyer: 30 second exposure of Dragon reentering over Los Angeles tonight, shot from Mt. Wilson. We just heard the sonic booms too…”
“@fan_of_racing @bkent136 @macodiseas @katlinegrey SpaceX Merlin architecture is simpler than staged combustion (eg SSME or RD), but it has world record for thrust/weight & thrust/cost engine. Raptor has better Isp, but I’m worried it may fall short on those two critical metrics.”

“@grafikhure_de @StevenHardison Starship will look like liquid silver”
“Dragon captured by the International Space Station! Just awesome ... http://t.co/ihoZqgj7 http://img.ly/iHdp”
“@WholeMarsBlog @Kristennetten @boringcompany @Tesla Maybe a month or so. Some finishing touches need to be done on the stations.”
“@tossha_spb @atlasobscura Will do Starship presentation a few weeks after Hopper hovers, so prob late July. If that timing works, free LJ chips for all present!”

“@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.”
“@TonyadeVitti @SpaceX Several changes from that design, but the general approach remains the same”
“@tlowdon @EthicalSkeptic Antibody half-life for cov2 is very short. In a study that SpaceX did working with Harvard epidemiology, it appears to be as low as 2 or 3 weeks. Nonetheless, reinfection rates are very low & symptoms are minor, perhaps due to memory T cells https://t.co/z9WlvIjoTw https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Memory_T_cell”
“@flcnhvy @Erdayastronaut @DiscoverMag Annoying that @ULA perpetuates myth that Delta IV Heavy or Atlas V can do some orbits that Falcon Heavy can’t. This is absolutely false. FH would have to go full expendable for GEO direct, but that’s very rare.”
“@ignaciobelieres @oza_shiv @lrocket “Ignition!””
“@Erdayastronaut @vicvic21266 @flcnhvy @DJSnM @KevinKling12 @spaceXcentric 🤣🤣”
“@DJSnM @Erdayastronaut @KevinKling12 @spaceXcentric Not currently planning for pad abort with early Starships, but maybe we should. Vac engines would be dual bell & fixed (no gimbal), which means we can stabilize nozzle against hull.”
“@ajithshan03 @NASA @SpaceX @Space_Station @Commercial_Crew No”
“@nextspaceflight @Teslarati The LA Times has a long track of unreasonable attacks on SpaceX & Tesla, but in this case it was our miscommunication”
“@AngelNDevil2 @MarkChica @FutureJurvetson @bluemoondance74 @SpaceX It’s all the “secondary” structure that concerns me, not engines & primary airframe”
“@katlinegrey @lrocket @Alexis_wwww Rest of SpaceX propulsion still very active, so only ~50 full-time equivalent people right now. That will grow a lot as we enter production. It’s 10X harder (at least) to design engine production system than engine. In automotive, 100X harder.”

“@bluemoondance74 @flcnhvy @SpaceX Should be able to post video of Raptor on Tripod soon”
“@doug_ellison @dsfpspacefl1ght Found the source of the problem. The NASA database has the Falcon Block 1 performance. Version currently in production and set to fly in a few months is Block 5. SpaceX GNC team is submitting updated numbers.”
