“@tesla_truth @_TomCross_ Yeah”
“@_TomCross_ Heat will breathe life into Mars”
“@Ethyr44 @Erdayastronaut @SteelSully @annerajb @kickber @ExploreSpaceKSC Yes! I love botanical gardens. This is my favorite: https://t.co/MP1JwqHv85 https://www.kew.org”
“@Erdayastronaut @SteelSully @annerajb @kickber @ExploreSpaceKSC Absolutely”
“@SteelSully @annerajb @kickber @ExploreSpaceKSC Yeah, that sounds ideal! I love the KSC rocket garden. Spent many days there looking at rocket design details.”
“@John_Gardi Uh oh”
“@annerajb @kickber Ok”

“@Matthew_Nolan1 @austinbarnard45 Starship will do orbital launches from Boca Chica (near Brownsville) & Cape”
“@StevenHardison At Cape for launch, so watched on hotel screen, but still so beautiful …”
“@austinbarnard45 Just watched it from your link ♥️♥️”
“@Game_Overlord98 Yeah”

“@RenataKonkoly @Teslarati Yes, the droids can now hold down the center core”
“@Teslarati Odds of center core surviving are about 50% imo, as it’s coming in about 4 times faster than a rifle bullet”
“@Scobleizer @Tesla @teslaownersSV 🖤 Tesla Software Engineering 🖤”

“@Erdayastronaut @13ericralph31 @HarryStoltz1 @flcnhvy All Raptors have slight throttle range by adjusting flow to ox & fuel turbines, but deep throttling imposes limitations on injector stiffness & needs extra hardware. Swear these are legit technical terms 🤗”
“@Some1gee @Erdayastronaut @13ericralph31 @HarryStoltz1 @flcnhvy It’s a factor. Main reason is that FFSC is the ultimate architecture for converting propellant into rocket velocity.”
“@Elthiryel @Erdayastronaut @13ericralph31 @HarryStoltz1 @flcnhvy Yes, they run at *much* higher pressure, but lower temperature. Thermal shock & strain are what fatigue Merlin turbine blades. Solvable for high reusability, but better to apply that engineering to Raptor.”
“@SpaceXFan97 @Erdayastronaut @13ericralph31 @HarryStoltz1 @flcnhvy Same as last time, although we made a design improvement that could yield about 7 bar more”
“@Erdayastronaut @13ericralph31 @HarryStoltz1 @flcnhvy Merlin could probably do 1000 flights too. Turbine blade fatigue cracking would require periodic weld repair or replacement. Probably some seals & bearings as well. Coking not really an issue.”
“@engadget So cool”
“@soswow @elontimes Anything with high contrast”
“@teslaownersSV @elontimes Excessive shades of grey”
“@elontimes Yeah, we’ve been working on curbs a *lot*. Concrete seams too. So glamorous.”
“@28delayslater @EvaFoxU Third revision of Enhanced Summon hopefully going to Tesla owners with early access later this week”
“@EvaFoxU Haha”
“@joe_mckirdy @Erdayastronaut @13ericralph31 @HarryStoltz1 @flcnhvy Depends on destination”
“@Erdayastronaut @13ericralph31 @HarryStoltz1 @flcnhvy Planning on a simplifying mod to Raptor for max thrust, but no throttling, to get to 250 mT level”
“@Erdayastronaut @13ericralph31 @HarryStoltz1 @flcnhvy Since Raptor produces 200 tons of force, cost per ton would be $1000. However, Raptor is designed for ~1000 flights with negligible maintenance, so cost per ton over time would actually be ~$1.”

“Anarcho-syndicalism FTW!!”
“@Erdayastronaut @HarryStoltz1 @flcnhvy More than that now, but <10% of that in volume, although much to be proven”
“@HarryStoltz1 @Erdayastronaut @flcnhvy Full year production is usually ~70% of peak daily rate, so 500/year. Still, non-trivial at 100,000 tons of thrust/year.”
“@Erdayastronaut @flcnhvy Raptor liberated its oxygen turbine stator (appears to be mechanical, not metal combustion failure), so we need to update the design & replace some parts. Production is ramping exponentially, though. SN6 almost done. Aiming for an engine every 12 hours by end of year.”
