“@SpaceXMR Heavy comes in more like a javelin. Similar to Falcon 9, but caught by the tower vs landing on legs.”

“@RocketLab Congrats on many successful launches!”
“@SciGuySpace SpaceX provided its knowledge of crewed parachute systems to Boeing and we are happy to be helpful in any other ways. Designing parachutes for orbital, crewed spacecraft is much harder than it may seem. Was a major challenge for SpaceX.”

“@Lukeleisher Tom is awesome. Taught me an immense amount about liquid rocket engines. And he’s just a great guy.”
“@Cmdr_Hadfield @SpaceX @OurWorldInData Exactly. And many areas of countries showing good Internet actually have poor or no access, so those are important to address too.”
“@tobyliiiiiiiiii @Erdayastronaut @NASASpaceflight Might just catch the ship with the launch tower, same as booster”
“@flcnhvy @AstroBehnken @Astro_Doug @SpaceX Still long way to go. Reuse only matters to degree that it’s rapid & complete.”
“@rustyrockets @shellenberger @mtaibbi @rumblevideo Good question”
“@prmshra Don’t be silly. I oversaw the SpaceX engineering team that built the Dragon LiDARs used to dock with @Space_Station! They are simply the wrong solution for a complex terrestrial road system that was designed for biological neural nets and eyes. Therefore the right, imo only,…”

“@WatchersTank @SpaceX Just one skyscraper catching another nbd haha”
“@IlyaRosenberg @Caspar_Stanley @Erdayastronaut @SpaceX @SuperHeavyBN3 They are now the same (LOX below CH4). Ox is 3.5 times heavier than fuel, so makes sense to have it lower.”
“@Neopork85 @Caspar_Stanley @ErcXspace @MarcusHouseGame @FelixSchlang @C_Bass3d @nickhenning3d @SpaceX Tiles will be on hot side of flaps too. A very tough problem is sealing the moving flap to body joint without melting or shredding the seal.”
“@lrocket It was still amazing to see it take off”
“@Erdayastronaut @SpaceX All of that and more. We’re doing a broad review of launch site, propulsion, structures, avionics, range & regulatory constraints this weekend. I will also be at the Cape next week to review hardware in person.”
“RT @SpaceX: Liftoff! https://t.co/yP64Gp1izF”
“RT @SpaceX: Falcon 9 lifts off from Florida, adding 21 @Starlink satellites to the constellation and completing our 400th overall mission w…”
“@yasin_shafiei @thejackbeyer @NASASpaceflight @BocaChicaGal @NicAnsuini Late next month maybe, but November seems highly likely. We will have two boosters & ships ready for orbital flight by then, with full stack production at roughly one every two months.”
“@spideycyp_155 @FedorovMykhailo @SpaceX There are some active terminals”
“@Erdayastronaut @SpaceX Aim for zero velocity just above surface & fall. You won’t fall fast.”
“@ajtourville @SpaceX A truly reusable orbital-entry-class heat shield is the single biggest technology problem remaining”
“@SciGuySpace Troubling. I am very much in favor of science, but unfortunately cannot participate in NASA budget discussions, due to SpaceX being a major contractor to NASA.”
“@BrentM_SpaceX @xai The @xAI Colossus team is great. Thanks also to the many contractors, the TVA and others who have helped make it happen!”
“Winds aloft are unusually high (still within structural safety bounds). Worrying, but not a showstopper. https://t.co/epHQQvajOZ https://x.com/spacex/status/859000342985424896”
“@DimaZeniuk What’s really crazy about this is that almost no investors wanted to sell shares even at a $350B valuation! SpaceX reduced the amount of shares it bought back from employees in order to allow some new investors in.”
“@SpaceX Launch aborted on low thrust alarm. Rising oxygen temps due to hold for boat and helium bubble triggered alarm.”

“RT @MarioNawfal: WALTER ISAACSON: ELON WILL BE ABLE TO DO IN GOVERNMENT WHAT HE DID WITH TESLA AND SPACEX “He pretty much owns SpaceX. If…”
“Can't wait to see all three cores of Falcon Heavy come back for landings! First two will be almost simultaneous. https://t.co/ryMiewZM4L http://www.orlandosentinel.com/news/space/go-for-launch/os-spacex-landing-pads-space-coast-20160718-story.html”
“@NASA @SpaceX @NASAKennedy I love @NASA!”
“@iam_smx SpaceX team are such great humans”
“Aiming for Falcon rocket static fire at Cape Canaveral on the 16th and launch about three days later”
“@Erdayastronaut @RenataKonkoly @SpaceNews_Inc Am hoping to change booster design to land back on launch mount with no legs. Will require extreme precision.”
“@FelixSchlang @SpaceX Probably, but not yet”
“Have to focus on tonight's @SpaceX launch. Will post Tesla (master) product plan afterwards.”
“RT @NASA: We're bringing NASA+ to @Netflix! Starting this summer, Netflix audiences will be able to stream rocket launches, spacewalks, an…”
“@SciGuySpace It’s a step in the right direction, but they should really aim for full reusability by 2026. Larger rocket would also make sense for literal economies of scale. Goal should be to minimize cost per useful ton to orbit or it will at best serve a niche market.”
“@SpaceX And other places”
“@PPathole @SpaceX @Tesla That was my night job. Day job was working on ruthenium-tantalum ultracapacitors at Pinnacle Research.”
“@torybruno Your company said the exact opposite in 2014 when it got a sole-source, uncompeted $11B DoD launch contract. https://t.co/Abd5sWhZDt In any event, expendable rockets are as relevant to the future as expendable aircraft. Rapidly reusable rockets are all that matter. https://www.cbsnews.com/network/news/space/home/spacenews/files/042914_ula_blockbuy.html”
“@Andercot But the good news is that SpaceX will put big telescopes in space and giant ones on the Moon”
“@DimaZeniuk @Starlink @SpaceX @SpaceXStarlink Temporary experiment to test price elasticity of demand”
