“Looks like Starship might fly on Sunday! This the largest & most powerful flying object ever made at more than double the thrust of the Saturn V Moon rocket. We will try to catch it upon return to launch site using the Mechazilla arms like giant chopsticks (like Karate Kid)!”
“At ~5000 tons, Starship is the largest flying object ever made”
“Starship is the most power flying object ever created. Currently over twice the thrust of Saturn V and, with future upgrades, three times the thrust (10,000 tons of force).”
“That’s just plain cruel. The driver did nothing to deserve this. [@WholeMarsBlog] Democrats are now attacking working class rideshare drivers for driving cars that don’t pollute”
“Starship is by far the most powerful flying object ever created”
“Starship is the largest and most powerful flying object by far https://t.co/i5qc7iZJ52”
“At 5000 tons, Starship is the largest flying object ever made. Thrust is more than double the Saturn V moon rocket. It is the first spaceship design capable of making life multiplanetary. Goal of the next mission is to make it through the meteorically extreme heat of reentry.”
“Yes, that’s almost always how it goes with new technology [@shaunmmaguire] The Tesla Roadster is niche w bad range The Falcon 1 is a shit rocket The Neuralink v1 bit rate is low Subways >>> cars Grok 1 sucks X will break after firing people It’s amazing how people don’t get the pattern v1 sucks, v2 is okay, v3 is SOTA, v4 is god-mode)”
“Mars & Cars”
“Future Starships will be even bigger [@ElonClipsX] Elon Musk: I'm not sure people totally understand how big Starship is. “I'm not sure people totally understand. Starship is the largest flying object ever made. This thing will be over 5,000 tons of weight on liftoff. It's going to go straight up with 5,000 tons. This is much”
“Big boi 🚀 [@EvaFoxU] Starship is the largest and most powerful flying object by far!”
“Correct. My Tesla and SpaceX shares, which are almost all my “wealth”, only go up in value as a function of how much useful product those companies produce and service. This means my “wealth” can only increase due to producing more products and services for the public.… https://t.co/uerL0kbYV6 https://x.com/i/web/status/2006014310607167607 [@toly] 🧠🪱 Elons stocks aren’t wealth. If the number of Tesla shares doubled the world isn’t any richer. If the number of Tesla cars doubled, it’s measurably richer. For him to get to $1t in capital, he has to organize labor to set the means of production in motion to produce… https://x.com/i/web/status/2005960967042027656”
“I just FaceTimed the @framonauts via @Starlink! [@satofishi] Flight Day 4 I woke up early and watched the launch of Starlink Group 11-13 on YouTube. Shortly after, SpaceX contacted us and informed us that we would be flying over Mongolia during the second stage deorbit burn. We opened the cupola and tried to observe the event, but had no”
“I have so much respect for the associates doing an honest day’s work at Tesla or SpaceX building & servicing cars, rockets, Starlinks, batteries, solar & many other things”
“Look at the tiny cars in the foreground to get a sense of the vastness of the building [@HalcyonHypnotic] Hot take but SpaceX is probably the best civil engineering company in the world. Somehow they are able to make these insanely complex ground system and building designs and find the perfect contractors and technicians to build out their ideas in months or 1-2 years. I feel like”
“Starship is the biggest flying object ever made [@teslaownersSV] Rockets of the world, The scale of the Starship is insane. 🤯🤯”
“Try it out! [@VaibhavSisinty] Did xAI just mass-murder the entire voice AI industry? 🤯 Grok just launched two voice APIs. Speech-to-Text and Text-to-Speech. Built on the same stack powering Tesla cars and Starlink support. And priced at 10x cheaper than ElevenLabs. Speech-to-Text: $0.10/hr batch.”
“@ShitpostRock Admittedly, I was at first dumb enough to think he actually meant hanging out with UN diplomats 🤣🤣 However, even after he clarified that he meant a party with young women “under age 25”, I still chose working on rockets and cars.”
“This is what it looks like to be in polar orbit around Earth, going around the world every ~90 minutes [@SpaceX] Watch the extended, ~4-hour cut with additional views from the Dragon spacecraft flying over Earth’s polar regions during the Fram2 mission”
“Starship is the largest flying object ever made and it will continue to grow [@teslaownersSV] Rockets of the world,,, The scale of the Starship is insane. 🤯🤯”
“Starlink now available for RVs, campers & other large vehicle users (note, antenna too big for cars) https://t.co/uwKwduNioj https://starlink.com/rv”
“True, many pets will be saved by autonomy [@WholeMarsBlog] 5.4 million cats are hit by cars every year in the U.S., and 97 % of those cats die from their injuries. Autonomy will dramatically reduce that number.”
“@WholeMarsBlog I have no desire to become involved in wars, but it is safe to say that all bets are off if the nukes start flying”
“SpaceX will try to catch largest ever flying object with robot chopsticks. Success is not guaranteed, but excitement is! https://t.co/75yMgIWOwE https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=wAuzCjipF00”
“@Grummz But she would have to admit that landing rockets, rebuilding the Internet in space and making electric cars that can drive themselves are damn good cons 🤣🤣”
“It's starting to feel kinda normal to reuse rockets. Good. That's how it is for cars & airplanes and how it should be for rockets.”
“Love seeing the scars of the rocket https://t.co/y5FQrLcV9B”
“Kids love using Grok Imagine, because they can speak their ideas and watch the images update immediately [@imPenny2x] Grok imagine collaboration with my 6 year old daughter. Prompt: A green dragon flying a rocket ship to mars to meet Elon Musk. He’s in space and there are a bunch of stars that look like robots. He’s gonna make an invention where you can golf on the moon without the balls”
“@SpaceX All 🛰 🛰 deployed successfully. Thanks for flying SpaceX!”
“@SmokeAwayyy With booster ultimately flying up to ~20 times per day & ship flying up to ~5 times per day. Useful load to Mars is ~150 metric tons, but requires ~5 orbital refilling tanker flights. Target: >1 megaton of cargo & people delivered to Mars, so that it becomes self-sustaining.”
“@WholeMarsBlog It used to be: “Internet guy will fail at rockets/cars!” Now it is: “Rockets/cars guy will fail at Internet!” Literally from same media outlets 🤣🤣”
“Stretch goal for Starship V4 is 300 tons of thrust per engine with 33 engines, so 10,000 tons of total thrust. That is 3 times the power of the Saturn V Moon rocket. [@XFreeze] SpaceX’s Starship is already one of the biggest flying objects ever built and it’s still getting bigger • With Starship 4, total size could grow ~10–20% • Raptor thrust jumps ~20%, nearing 9,000 tons at sea level • Enough to send 200+ tons to useful orbit • Fully &… https://x.com/i/web/status/2014607481159463407”
“@cb_doge I’m started off knowing nothing about rockets, satellites, cars, etc, but I learn fast”
“@PPathole Starship booster, largest flying object ever designed, will be caught out of sky by launch tower. Big step forward, as reflight can be done in under an hour.”
“$300M cost diff between SpaceX and Boeing/Lockheed exceeds avg value of satellite, so flying with SpaceX means satellite is basically free https://t.co/CaOulCf7ot https://x.com/arstechnica/status/875489606728372225”
“@WholeMarsBlog Maybe it’s time to build that flying metal suit of armor”
“@thesheetztweetz Not connecting Tesla cars to Starlink, as our terminal is much too big. This is for aircraft, ships, large trucks & RVs.”
“RT @stackhodler: Elon was happily tinkering with his rockets and electric cars in democrat-controlled California. Then they tried to stop…”
“@SpaceX Hopefully flying tomorrow”
“@WholeMarsBlog All US cars that are capable of FSD will be enabled for a one month trial this week”
“@WholeMarsBlog That’s where we get most of our lithium. Also, whereas phone batteries make heavy use of cobalt in cathode, Tesla uses primarily nickel, which is trickier, but has better energy density (range). Iron cathode cells are now competitive for stationary packs & mid range cars.”
“Russia has excellent rocket engineering & best engine currently flying. Reusable version of their new Angara rocket would be great. https://t.co/6RLvf5R4ni https://arstechnica.com/science/2019/03/with-dragon-russian-critic-says-roscosmos-acting-left-behind/”
“@WholeMarsBlog Now that the big automotive advertisers are making EVs, you will see far fewer articles about EVs catching on fire. It is not surprising that internal combustion engine cars have a tendency to combust externally too.”
“@WholeMarsBlog Thank goodness! North America will have a way better connector for charging cars than rest of world.”
“@timetravelart Maybe drive an upright Falcon 9 past the White House flying a giant Stars & Stripes with a marching band playing “I can see clearly now”?”
“Flying with larger & significantly upgraded hypersonic grid fins. Single piece cast & cut titanium. Can take reentry heat with no shielding. https://t.co/SmyCCQRt2F https://x.com/spacex/status/878732650277617664”
“@Teslarati Diess is right. Hydrogen is a staggeringly dumb form of energy storage for cars. Barely worth considering it for a rocket upper stage, which is its most compelling use.”
“@thesheetztweetz @NASAKennedy @SpaceX It is hard to overstate criticality of reusable rockets. No less important than reusable aircraft, cars or bicycles. Essential for humanity to become a multiplanet species & backup the biosphere.”
“@WholeMarsBlog You don’t even need to touch the shifter in new S. Auto detect direction will come as an optional setting to all cars with FSD.”
