“@Erdayastronaut We’ve already done a lot of iteration on ship. For rapid reusability, booster must return to launchpad, so inert mass impacts ascent, boostback & landing burns. Triple whammy. Also, booster flight rate is ~5X that of ship, so multiple mass $ cost by 5.”

“@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.”
“@Erdayastronaut Great shot! Btw, Starship Super Heavy will not have an entry burn. Delta-v is shifted more to the ship, so booster entry Q & heating is lower.”
“@PPathole @Tesla @SpaceX Basic MRI is easier than it sounds good tbh. High resolution MRI in short time with weak magnetic field is hard.”
“@torybruno @Dynetics Should I bring a few spare engines … I mean, just in case.”
“@torybruno @Dynetics Sure”
“@PassionFlix @ToscaMusk I liked your movie “Hollywood Dirt”!”
“@nextspaceflight There is the internal goal if things go right, which needs to be aggressive. Obviously, some things will not go right internally & there will be external issues too. That said, I think we can stack an orbital ship on an orbital booster in July.”
“@torybruno @Dynetics When do the engines arrive? 😉”
“@SpaceX Unfortunately, launch is called off for today, as an aircraft entered the “keep out zone”, which is unreasonably gigantic. There is simply no way that humanity can become a spacefaring civilization without major regulatory reform. The current regulatory system is broken.”
“@SpaceX Sonic boom incoming https://t.co/jWAyA0j5Xx”
“@IIHS_autosafety Top Safety Pick+ from IIHS! That’s the highest overall rating, but we think we can get max score for all subcategories/individual tests too. Retesting in a month or so with improved software. The improved software will then be uploaded to all cars with FSD computers.”
“@smvllstvrs Not bad”
“@DirtyTesla Production release update coming this week, which includes raising max speed to 80 mph. Sorry, 75 mph limit was done as precautionary measure. Turned out to be unnecessary.”
“Thanks for all the happy birthday wishes!”
“@JRossNicoll Important to support”
“@TylerG1998 @NASASpaceflight @SpaceX It is! Looks like we can get 378 sec Isp with this version of Raptor Vacuum, so over 380 sec with some improvements down the road.”
“@mayemusk ❤️”
“@totalspace360 Cool”

“@flcnhvy Schedule driver there is regulatory approval. Has to be certified for each aircraft type. Focusing on 737 & A320, as those serve most number of people, with development testing on Gulfstream.”
“All 72 orbital planes activate in August, plus many other improvements, enabling global coverage, except for polar regions, which will take another 6 months”
“Starlink simultaneously active users just exceeded the strategically important threshold of 69,420 last night!”
“@marcodzo @Tesla Sometimes people think it is performance, but safety is always the primary design requirement for a Tesla”
“@greg16676935420 @jack 🤣🤣”
“@lexfridman One of my favorites quotes from a great human”
“@jpr007 Actually, a great many parts are produced by our suppliers, but Tesla is more vertically integrated than other carmakers”
“@satyanadella Bring back the Zune!! It’s time.”
“@DogecoinRise Starship Super Heavy”
“@Wildreamz @engineers_feed True”

“@WholeMarsBlog @teslaownersSV @SpaceX I’m driving “alpha” 9, but we need to fix some obvious issues before releasing beta 9, hopefully next week. FSD subscription capability should be turning on via the Tesla app.”
“@teslaownersSV @SpaceX “It will be like this, but bigger””
“@jack For the Bitcurious? Very well then, let’s do it 😉”
“@RationalEtienne @jack T is the new D”
“@universal_sci I think about that quite a lot”
“@jack The comments in this thread are solid gold”
“@jack Lmfao omg”
“@SciGuySpace Nothing wrong with healthy competition, but this seems a little over-the-top. Would be cool if spacecraft could travel from one space station to another (which is much harder than it seems!).”
“@newscientist @IBJIYONGI Basically, just a footnote”
“@m_tijn 🔥🔥”
“@aordring Edgy”
““That’s not funny!” – Bitcoin maxis”
“@WatchersTank @SpaceX We’re almost done with first prototype booster. This will go to test stand A. Next one will fly to orbit. Team has been crushing it many days & nights in a row!”
“@jack Oh right … Bitcoin haha”
“@jack Bicurious?”
