“@SpaceX Falcon over the moon”
“Congrats to SpaceX team on record number of launches!”
“@SawyerMerritt @SpaceX It’s a start. About 1000 times more mass to orbit per year will be needed to make life multiplanetary.”
“@SpaceX @Space_Station About twice as much useful mass to orbit as rest of Earth combined”
“@TJ_Cooney @SpaceX Starlink bandwidth varies a lot, depending on user terminal density & time of day. That’s why the long wait in some areas. Throughput is roughly linear with total V1 satellites in operation. V2 satellites are at least 5 times better (conservative estimate) than V1.”
“@TJ_Cooney @SpaceX Starlink is a gamechanger for remote locations”
“Tesla is to protect life on Earth, SpaceX to extend life beyond.”
“@PPathole @Erdayastronaut @SpaceX @Caspar_Stanley @IzanRamos2002 Some small tubes & wiring need to be nested in a bigger tube for thermal protection, kinda like conduit in a house. Engines themselves & booster base are extremely robust. High strength stainless steel is bulletproof to a handgun at ~2.5mm thickness. Booster dome is 4mm.”
“@DJSnM @Erdayastronaut @SpaceX @Caspar_Stanley @IzanRamos2002 Electric power for booster & ship is needed even when engines aren’t running & incremental power draw of TVC isn’t too bad. We have local supercaps on each engine to deal with power spikes.”
“@Erdayastronaut @SpaceX @Caspar_Stanley @IzanRamos2002 Enabling engines to take the heat without shrouds might save over 10 tons, all things considered. Shrouds are also a risk in that fuel leaks could be contained by the shroud, forming a MOX bomb. Booster is purging all 33 engine shrouds in flight to prevent this.”
“@Erdayastronaut @SpaceX @Caspar_Stanley @IzanRamos2002 All mass necessitated by an engine design should count as engine mass, eg shrouds, TVC hydraulic power or excess purge gas. Raptors in production now have electric TVC, saving over a ton of hydraulics mass on booster.”
“@Erdayastronaut @SpaceX @Caspar_Stanley @IzanRamos2002 Most importantly, we need to delete or thermally protect remaining secondary structure, so we can remove shrouds”
“@WholeMarsBlog No, it’s dual, high performance terminals, which are important for maintaining the connection in choppy seas & heavy storms. Still obv premium pricing, but way cheaper & faster than alternatives. SpaceX was paying $150k/month for a much worse connection to our ships!”
“@teslaownersSV @SpaceX Super talented team at SpaceX”
“Congrats to SpaceX Falcon team for executing 3 flawless launches in 2 days!”
“@BillyM2k Tesla and SpaceX merch, maybe more down the road”
“@blueskykites @Tesla @SpaceX @mayemusk @WholeMarsBlog @28delayslater @JohnnaCrider1 @Kristennetten @SirineAti @GailAlfarATX @DimaZeniuk @bevedoni @RationalEtienne @ashleevance @adamhoov @klwtts @RenataKonkoly For a couple of months, but, yeah, that looks like the place. Does Mark still live there?”
“@GregScott_photo @FarryFaz @SpaceX @MarcusHouse @LabPadre @13ericralph31 @spaceflashnews @spacex360 @SpaceIntellige3 @DJSnM @Erdayastronaut @ScalesNews SpaceX team is making great progress at the Cape & Starbase!”
“@DJSnM @SpaceX I’m told that no ocelot has been seen in the Boca Chica area for ~40 years. We have many motion-activated cameras around Starbase – thousands of clips of coyotes, dogs & cats, but no ocelots.”
“@SpaceX For the first time ever, there is a rocket capable of establishing permanent bases on the moon and Mars”
“@Erdayastronaut @SpaceX Merlin is so simple compared to Raptor!”
“Deck from SpaceX all-hands update talk I gave last week https://t.co/ApsdPjjukh”
“Four Falcon Heavy flights later this year by an incredible team at SpaceX https://t.co/WUQ72lKZPe https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=sX1Y2JMK6g8”
“@PPathole @SpaceX That is its primary purpose”
“@WatchersTank @NASASpaceflight @SpaceX Cryogenic proof test passed”
“10 years since SpaceX’s first mission to @Space_Station”
“@Gfilche @MadeInTheUSANJ I’m just talking about the mid-term elections in November. Not sure that there is a third party candidate. It’s rather hard to support a party when prominent members of that party keep attacking me and sidelining Tesla & SpaceX!”
“@truth_tesla @MadeInTheUSANJ Yeah, the public has no idea how much Tesla and SpaceX have been attacked/undermined, because we aren’t unionized (yet offer highest pay in industry!) and this administration would rather a company be dead than not unionized”
“@MadeInTheUSANJ I support free speech, but not any one candidate. In fact, I gave money to & voted for Hillary & then voted for Biden. However, given unprovoked attacks by leading Democrats against me & a very cold shoulder to Tesla & SpaceX, I intend to vote Republican in November.”
“@cnunezimages @SpaceX @SpaceIntellige3 Starships”
“Tesla merch can be bought with Doge, soon SpaceX merch too”
“@aaronjcash @WholeMarsBlog @brandonee916 @vincent13031925 @SpaceX Some good Cox jokes in this thread”
“@IvanEscobosa @aaronjcash @WholeMarsBlog @brandonee916 @vincent13031925 @SpaceX Absolutely. With competition, the consumer is the winner.”
“@aaronjcash @WholeMarsBlog @brandonee916 @vincent13031925 @SpaceX 🤣”
“@SpaceX All 🛰 🛰 deployed successfully. Thanks for flying SpaceX!”
“@teslaownersSV The Iron Man statue was given to SpaceX because part of Iron Man 2 was filmed in the rocket factory”
“@PPathole @Tesla @SpaceX @neuralink @boringcompany I do love humanity”
“@teslaownersSV @SpaceX The real tragedy is that tie I’m wearing!”
“Such a joy to work with amazingly talented people at SpaceX, Tesla, Neuralink & Boring Co!”
“@SamTwits My true moral error was creating Tesla & SpaceX at same time, while avoiding general mgmt chores at Tesla (focusing only on product & engineering). Tried to have my cake & eat it too, which failed.”
“@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.”
“SpaceX Falcon team making great progress! Aiming for 5 day launch cadence with many performance & refurb improvements.”
“@Dr_ThomasZ @SpaceX Flight-proven!”
“@Erdayastronaut @netflix @NASA @SpaceX @JimBridenstine @AstroBehnken @Astro_Doug @Gwynne_Shotwell Cool!”
“@GailAlfarATX @SpaceX @latestinspace @4thFromOurStar @cnunezimages @jessica_kirsh @JoeTegtmeyer @redditSpacePorn @Tesla @OwenSparks_ Константи́н Циолко́вский”
“@teslaownersSV @PPathole @SpaceX Will take of it”
“@teslaownersSV @SpaceX You may be in an area that is at maximum capacity. Did SpaceX not provide an unsubscribe warning?”
“@JimPethokoukis Good point. SpaceX & Tesla would probably have died, since both narrowly escaped bankruptcy in 2008.”
“@Free_Space @thesheetztweetz @AviationWeek SpaceX will do the right thing for OneWeb, even though they are a competitor”
