“SpaceX and Tesla rated most meaningful work in high tech. Also, most stressful, but that goes with the territory. https://t.co/y8s4UdMF5z https://x.com/dfjsteve/status/705925529388453888”
“@SciGuySpace They need to make reusable rockets”
“SpaceX team reviewed all systems again late last night. Done our best to ensure all is good. https://t.co/R3YrF6PEt4 https://x.com/spacex/status/882693202930577408”
“@Free_Space @thesheetztweetz @AviationWeek SpaceX will do the right thing for OneWeb, even though they are a competitor”
“@SpaceX Testing Raptor in vertical configuration (on the giant tripod) should allow us to simplify some aspects of the engine design”
“@ErcXspace @smvllstvrs T/W will be ~1.5, so it will accelerate unusually fast. High T/W is important for reusable vehicles to make more efficient use of propellant, the primary cost. For expendable rockets, throwing away stages is the primary cost, so optimization is low T/W.”
“@TeslaLarry SpaceX even launched competing satellite constellations with no markup. Same price for all.”
“@DJSnM Booster landing was on target, ship landing was several km off due to flap damage, but both were soft landings”
“Will run the SpaceX pusher sled later this week and see what it can do”
“@Thavisin @Tesla @SpaceX @Starlink It was an honor to meet. Thailand has a very exciting future!”
“@JohnnaCrider1 @Iupsychdoctor @AOC @RobinhoodApp Shopify is great too. SpaceX used them.”
“@SpaceXMR Tragically, it is not clear that the defense contractors can get to the moon for any amount of money. More than $200B has been spent on development of new US crewed space transport systems over past ~40 years, but only Dragon is flying. Development cost to NASA was <$2B.”
“Congrats to the @SpaceX Falcon Team! [deleted tweet]”
“@RenataKonkoly @Erdayastronaut And booster used to be 70m, but this required an awkward half barrel width of steel, so now it’s 69m”
“@ErcXspace @SpaceX 😍”
“@Erdayastronaut @SpaceX cgi irl”
“Investigating a (very small) leak in the upper stage. If ok, will launch tomorrow. https://t.co/bQf97lywn4 https://x.com/spacex/status/832644375863717889”
“@arstechnica @SciGuySpace Falcon 9 is almost always at max capacity. When it has “spare” performance, it flies back to land, which costs much less than using a droneship. Our fundamental constraint is mass to orbit per unit time. Last year, SpaceX launched roughly double payload mass of rest of world.”
“SpaceX is still in the early stages of developing advanced micro-satellites operating in large formations. Announcement in 2 to 3 months.”
“RT @nvidia: From rockets to AI. Nine years after the original NVIDIA DGX-1 handoff, Jensen Huang delivered a brand-new DGX Spark to @ElonM…”
“@SpaceX In a few years, we will finally have a Raptor 3/4 vacuum version (giant nozzle) that has an Isp of 380”
“@RDAnglePhoto @SpaceX @Teslarati Yes, it does.”
“@karpathy The ratio of machine to human compute skyrockets”
“@ErcXspace @SpaceX @Erdayastronaut 🔥🔥”
“@Erdayastronaut @Teslaconomics @SpaceX We could build a lot more, but the next version of Raptor is really the one to scale up production. We begin testing it in McGregor within a week or so. Regenerative cooling and secondary flow paths have been made integral to the whole engine, thus no heat shield is required.…”
“@thesheetztweetz Chris was an early employee of SpaceX, and made a significant contribution, but was not a cofounder”
“@PPathole @SpaceX @4thFromOurStar Sure hope so!”
“@FutureJurvetson @SpaceX Definitely one of the strangest meetings I’ve ever experienced. @adeoressi was there too.”
“@GailAlfarATX @SpaceX @cnunezimages Great citizen journalism!”
“@SpacePadreIsle @SpaceX Haha”
“@NASASpaceflight Still aiming for booster 4 & Ship 20 for first orbital test flight (this is pure coincidence!)”
“@RenataKonkoly @SpaceX Machete!!”
“@SpaceX Launch underway”
“@austinbarnard45 Total coincidence! Also, booster height was originally 70m, but we eliminated a half barrel for manufacturing efficiency, so now it’s …”
“@RocketLab Congrats!”
“@SpaceX @Starlink Back in the saddle!”
“@yousuck2020 Thanks for helping fund a rocket & spaceship that could take humanity beyond Earth!”
“RT @Space_Station: The @SpaceX Dragon spacecraft carrying four #Crew9 members undocked from the station at 1:05am ET today and is headed fo…”
“@Tesmanian_com Award accepted on behalf of the great people at Tesla, SpaceX, Neuralink & Boring Co”
“@cnunezimages @SpaceX @SpaceIntellige3 Human for scale”
“@SawyerMerritt The “subsidies” he’s talking about simply do not exist. DJT has already removed or put an expiry date on all sustainable energy support while leaving massive oil & gas subsidies untouched. SpaceX won the NASA contracts by doing a better job for less money. Moving those”
“@patrickc I thought SpaceX and Tesla both had >90% chance of failure, but worth trying anyway”
“@teslaownersSV First, no one has ever mentioned rehab to me ever. Second, if they are saying that I was able to lead Tesla to be by far the most valuable carmaker and SpaceX to be by far the most valuable space company *simultaneously*, that is the greatest compliment I have ever received!”
“@wapodavenport However, even if it were 16 flights with docking, this is not a problem. SpaceX did more than 16 orbital flights in first half of 2021 & has docked with Station (much harder than docking with our own ship) over 20 times.”
“@FedorovMykhailo @Brian_J_Berger @SpaceX @SpaceXStarlink @Honda @ChampionGen @westinghouse @DuroMaxPower @W__Home Solar area will need to be higher with obscuration, but works better than one might think”
“@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 💯”
“@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.”
