“@DJSnM @ThePrimalDino Center core moving too fast return. Falcon Heavy is a 3 (or 2.5) stage rocket, but full & rapid reusability on Earth demand a 2 stage rocket. 1st stage returns to launch site immediately via boostback & 2nd stage orbits until ground track passes back over launch site to return.”

“@GadSaad I know several people who got myocarditis. I almost had to go to the hospital after my second booster shot, which was mandatory in order to travel.”
“@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.”

“@waEMD @SpaceX Glad SpaceX could help! We are prioritizing emergency responders & locations with no Internet connectivity at all.”
“@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.”

“@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”

“@WR4NYGov My estimate of the probability of success at the beginning of both Tesla and SpaceX was less than 10%. The reason people telling me we would probably fail didn’t dissuade me was that I already agreed with them!”
