@aparanjape @Erdayastronaut @SpaceX I do think that great design & engineering of products are critical, but manufacturing & supply chain require orders of magnitude more work

@DavidNagySFgang @rocketry_catboy Indeed. Grid fin designs clearly work, but do they maximize payload? Good chance that they do not. Something with much more drag to reduce terminal velocity & so reduce landing propellant might have better performance. Not sure. Potential future optimization.

@WholeMarsBlog Actually, I like & use Apple products. They are just obviously overcharging with App Store. I mean 30% fees for doing almost zero incremental work is completely unreasonable. Epic wouldn’t bother processing their own payments if App Store fees were fair.

@crheller @SpaceX Glad it’s working! The sheer amount of work done by SpaceX engineering, production & launch teams is amazing. Ping should improve dramatically in coming months. We’re aiming for <20ms. Basically, you should be able to play competitive FPS games through Starlink.

@astro_g_dogg Took more work to make F9 booster reuse cost-effective than went into recovering it in the first place. This is an important point. Things finally clicked into place with Block 5. My hat is off to everyone at SpaceX, NASA, Space Force, FAA & suppliers who helped make it happen.

@28delayslater @karpathy Accurate assessment. Btw, Autopilot software is technically led by Ashok, Andrej & Milan, but it’s very much a “knights of the round table” structure. There are so many talented engineers on Autopilot/AI team & they decide for themselves what to work on. Kinda like Valve.

@WholeMarsBlog What has become absolutely clear is that the plethora of self-driving corner cases can only be solved with real-world optical intelligence. This is how humans designed the road system to work. Once you have that in silicon form, everything else is just icing on the cake.

@Erdayastronaut @tobyliiiiiiiiii @NASASpaceflight Yeah, we talked about that internally. Could just have it land on a big net or bouncy castle. Lacks dignity, but would work. But, optimized landing propellant is only ~5% of dry mass, so it’s not a gamechanger.
