“@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.”

“@louisssdev @flcnhvy Coming soon. Crazy number of launches this year!”
“@flcnhvy They will be recovered from the water & reused”
““Tanks for the memery!” – Panzer of the Lake”
“@CathieDWood @wintonARK @ARKInvest What do you think of the unusually high ratio of S&P market cap to GDP?”
“@ID_AA_Carmack Some kind of ELO level, updated once or twice a year based on what someone actually got done, might be most effective. Important that it go both up *and* down.”
“@Thomas38697956 New & improved version!”
“@Teslarati @ResidentSponge Special mention of Tesla China”
“@shbzz Obv”
“@Teslarati @ResidentSponge Great work by Tesla team!”
“@EvaFoxU Nice”
“The Earth is not flat, it’s a hollow globe & Donkey King lives there!”
“@EvaFoxU Those two really could have come in handy for the stuck ship!”
“@EvaFoxU Last Kingdom vs Vikings”
“@spacex360 Ascent phase, transition to horizontal & control during free fall were good. A (relatively) small CH4 leak led to fire on engine 2 & fried part of avionics, causing hard start attempting landing burn in CH4 turbopump. This is getting fixed 6 ways to Sunday.”
“Godzilla vs Kong is so amaze much wow! Most insane movie I’ve ever seen! Love letter to conspiracy theorists! And yet heartwarming in the end.”
“@TerminalCount The Starships feast in Valhalla!”
“@TerminalCount One of the greatest things I’ve ever seen”
“@floko12022021 @HamblinZeke @katlinegrey Ich habe ein Semester Deutsch an der Universität studiert usw”
“@HamblinZeke @katlinegrey Haha Falcon? Nein!”
“@tobyliiiiiiiiii @katlinegrey I recommend propulsive landing, as that is extensible to planets, moons & asteroids. Wings & runways are limited to Earth.”
“@PPathole @katlinegrey For practical purposes, there is no limit. It will just get increasingly difficult to service.”
“@katlinegrey This a good path, but I recommend aiming for full reusability”
“Urgent need to build more housing in greater Austin area!”
“Austin++”
“No it doesn’t hurt at all 🩸 https://t.co/NnL6o1si0V”
“@allrocketsboi True”
“@GerberKawasaki I fried a lot of neurons on that problem!”
“Me in my sick new car (left him the money) https://t.co/EGaY1FVfHm”
“@TrungTPhan Had no money to invest in Zip2, but my founder equity yielded ~$15M after tax. Of that, I rolled ~$10M into PayPal, which yielded ~$180M, then … Basic principle is that I would not ask investors to risk money on my company if I would not also do so.”
“@Gfilche Major new Supercharger station coming to Santa Monica soon! Hoping to have 50’s diner & 100 best movie clips playing too. Thanks Santa Monica city!”
“@teslaownersSV @Tesla 🤣🤣”
“SpaceX is going to put a literal Dogecoin on the literal moon”
“Nicheman — his superpower is appealing to small audiences”
“@waitbutwhy !!”
“@lexfridman True”
“Over 10,000 people are needed for Giga Texas just through 2022! - 5 mins from airport -15 mins from downtown - Right on Colorado river”
“@jdeshetler @NASASpaceflight @SpaceX @BocaChicaGal Can be a little foggy sometimes :)”
“@Erdayastronaut @LabPadre Barely a scratch. :) Back on the stand soon! Will report conclusions as soon as we know them.”
“Starbase will grow by several thousand people over the next year or two”
“@OwenSparks_ I sure hope so!”
“@OwenSparks_ Agreed! We’re not super far, as Magic Valley Utility can give us almost all wind-power, which will be used for LOX (78% of propellant mass)/N2/argon distillation. We’re also aiming to increase solar power from 1MW to 10MW, paired with Tesla Megapacks, for continuous power.”
“Probably most “in space” you could possibly feel by being in a glass dome”
“Am donating $20M to Cameron County schools & $10M to City of Brownsville for downtown revitalization. Details to follow next week.”
“@Adamklotz_ @SpaceX BN1 is a manufacturing pathfinder, so will be scrapped. We learned a lot, but have already changed design to BN2. Goal is to get BN2 with engines on orbital pad before end of April. It might even be orbit-capable if we are lucky.”
“Please consider moving to Starbase or greater Brownsville/South Padre area in Texas & encourage friends to do so! SpaceX’s hiring needs for engineers, technicians, builders & essential support personnel of all kinds are growing rapidly.”
“@CodingMark @Adamklotz_ @SpaceX More like V10.0”
“@Adamklotz_ @SpaceX Next major technology rev is at SN20. Those ships will be orbit-capable with heat shield & stage separation system. Ascent success probability is high. However, SN20+ vehicles will probably need many flight attempts to survive Mach 25 entry heating & land intact.”
“@Adamklotz_ @SpaceX SN15 rolls to launch pad in a few days. It has hundreds of design improvements across structures, avionics/software & engine. Hopefully, one of those improvements covers this problem. If not, then retrofit will add a few more days.”
“@SpaceX Looks like engine 2 had issues on ascent & didn’t reach operating chamber pressure during landing burn, but, in theory, it wasn’t needed. Something significant happened shortly after landing burn start. Should know what it was once we can examine the bits later today.”
