“@BillyM2k The only thing keeping the other orbital rocket programs alive is government protection or they’d be deader than a doornail and everyone knows it. But oh well … comme ci, comme ça.”

“@Astro_Elliott @Teslarati @ResidentSponge Aiming to have hot gas thrusters on booster for first orbital flight”
“@rustyrockets @bariweiss @shellenberger @mtaibbi 💯”
“@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”
“@Jason Thanks Jason! Super proud to work with such great teams at SpaceX, Tesla, Neuralink and Boring!!”
“@MarshaBlackburn ❤️”
“@DJSnM Orbital precession takes a long time. With Starship & Starlink V2.0, hopefully we can direct inject to target orbit.”
“@WholeMarsBlog 😂”
“@FedorovMykhailo @Starlink You’re welcome”
“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.”
“@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!”
“@NASASpaceflight It will look crazy tall with booster & fairing at 122m / 394 ft”
“@MatthewDR @WholeMarsBlog With 12.5”
“Falcon 9 launches Iridium to orbit from Vandenberg Air Force Base https://t.co/7GTzx0a24d https://www.instagram.com/p/Bl8M-mNAN3f/?utm_source=ig_twitter_share&igshid=18erh862v2fe1”
“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/”
“@MarcusHouse It will have high pressure air rocket thrusters behind a license plate that flips down. Bong, James Bong …”
“@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”
“@arstechnica @SciGuySpace Russia has great rocket technology & talent. Much respect. Would encourage focus on reusability. Single-use rockets cannot be competitive any more than single-use aircraft.”
“@WholeMarsBlog And this still isn’t using the dramatically better “4D” (aka simultaneous surround video from 8 cameras) architecture”
“@SciGuySpace Shelby did his best to hold back SpaceX”
“@WholeMarsBlog Great video!”
“@SawyerMerritt SpaceX launches competitor satellite systems without favor to its own satellites. Fair and square.”
“@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 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”
“@WholeMarsBlog That must have been a bitter pill to swallow 😂”
“@ZainS180 @VikingRocket @WholeMarsBlog Cybertruck will reach far into a post-apocalyptic future & bring that technology to now”
“@GailAlfarATX @SpaceX @cnunezimages I subscribed!”
“@FedorovMykhailo Starlink data usage growth in Ukraine https://t.co/c4IWNwKwLR”
“@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”
“@WholeMarsBlog Car should also reverse slightly if it peeks into an intersection & sees fast-moving cross-traffic (just like a person would)”
“@WholeMarsBlog They will switch from claiming that Tesla self-driving is fake to Tesla self-driving is unfairly good”
