“@RGVaerialphotos @SpaceX Can’t wait for new high bay!”
“@28delayslater @PPathole @SpaceX It’s basically the plot of Fallout: New Vegas”
“@TeslaGong @PPathole @SpaceX There is a profound difference between single-planet & multiplanet species. If we are able to visit other stars one day, we may discover many long-dead single-planet civilizations.”
“@PPathole @SpaceX To extend the light of consciousness”
“@artemis360_moon @SpaceX Probably sooner”
“@ICannot_Enough @SteveHamel16 @SpaceX Iron(y)man”
“@considercosmos @SpaceX Booster & Ship will return to orbital launch pad on Monday (winds allowing). Just finishing off some small plumbing & wiring, which is easier in high bay.”
“@wapodavenport However, even if it were 16 flights with docking, this is not a problem. SpaceX did more than 16 orbital flights in first half of 2021 & has docked with Station (much harder than docking with our own ship) over 20 times.”
“@thesheetztweetz SpaceX could do it if need be”
“@ErcXspace @SpaceX @Erdayastronaut 🔥🔥”
“@DanaEn803 @Dr_ThomasZ @thesheetztweetz @SpaceX Sure”
“@Kristennetten @SpaceX It will be exciting to see what new cultures humanity creates on other heavenly bodies!”
“@Dr_ThomasZ @thesheetztweetz @SpaceX Due to its size & ability to return science instruments even from deep space, Starship will enable a whole new class of science missions”
“@jrosinski97 @SpaceX Absolutely”
“If you’re curious about Tesla, SpaceX & my general goings on, @WalterIsaacson is writing a biography”
“@ID_AA_Carmack I have great admiration for John’s engineering ability! What he did with Armadillo was incredible. I’ve tried to convince him many times to join SpaceX, but he has always declined (sigh).”
“@AustinTeslaClub That is the goal. Our official name is actually Space Exploration Technologies. SpaceX is short form.”
“@aparanjape @Erdayastronaut @SpaceX I do think that great design & engineering of products are critical, but manufacturing & supply chain require orders of magnitude more work”
“@RenataKonkoly @JonErlichman I was asked by a reporter if I was optimistic or pessimistic about SpaceX’s future. That was my answer.”
“@Erdayastronaut @SpaceX Hadn’t showered in several days. We are going hardcore with Starbase Surge.”
“@RationalEtienne @thesheetztweetz @BryceSpaceTech @SpaceX @roscosmos @Arianespace @ArianeGroup @northropgrumman @RocketLab @ulalaunch @VirginOrbit @torybruno Mass to orbit is the fundamental metric for making life multiplanetary”
“@thesheetztweetz @BryceSpaceTech @SpaceX @roscosmos @Arianespace @ArianeGroup @northropgrumman @RocketLab @ulalaunch @VirginOrbit @torybruno Upmass is what matters. One Starship will lift what all Falcons did in Q2 on a single flight.”
“@Jaydev_Chauhan_ Yeah, SpaceX team is cranking hard!”
“@WatchersTank @LabPadre Congrats SpaceX tower team & supporting contractors!”
“@SpacePadreIsle @SpaceX Haha”
“@TLPN_Official @SpaceX Depending on progress with Booster 4, we might try a 9 engine firing on Booster 3”
“@ErcXspace @NASASpaceflight @SpaceX Some of these design trades are still open, but will be resolved soon”
“@ErcXspace @NASASpaceflight @SpaceX Very accurate!”
“@AustinTeslaClub @SpaceX @austinbarnard45 @PPathole @TeslaOwnersEBay @bluemoondance74 @teslaownersSV @JohnnaCrider1 @TeslaNY Absolutely!”
“@Erdayastronaut @SpaceX Probably Monday”
“@johnkrausphotos @SpaceX @PortCanaveral Version 3 of the SpaceX droneship. Team did great work! Will be epic to see the deep sea oil rigs converted to ocean spaceports for Starship.”
“@TeslaGong @ajtourville @PPathole @Adamklotz_ @AaronS5_ @crheller @SpaceX Some traffic could just go terminal -> satellite -> satellite -> terminal and never touch the regular Internet”
“@ajtourville @PPathole @Adamklotz_ @AaronS5_ @crheller @SpaceX If we can do this successfully, then anything developed for ground/undersea fiber is automatically better in orbit”
“@ajtourville @PPathole @Adamklotz_ @AaronS5_ @crheller @SpaceX Similar to fiber optic. We are trying to ride the terrestrial fiber optic laser technology forcing function, but modified for use in vacuum.”
“@PPathole @Adamklotz_ @AaronS5_ @crheller @SpaceX Laser links in orbit can reduce long-distance latency by as much as 50%, due to higher speed of light in vacuum & shorter path than undersea fiber”
“@Adamklotz_ @AaronS5_ @crheller @SpaceX More ground stations & less foolish packet routing will make the biggest differences. Looking at speed of light as ~300km per millisecond & satellite altitude of ~550km, average photon round-trip time is only ~10ms, so a lot of silly things have to happen to drive ping >20ms.”
“@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.”
“@Erdayastronaut We are breaking ground soon on a second Raptor factory at SpaceX Texas test site. This will focus on volume production of Raptor 2, while California factory will make Raptor Vacuum & new, experimental designs.”
“@astro_g_dogg @SpaceX Absolutely”
“Autonomous SpaceX droneship, A Shortfall of Gravitas https://t.co/hNZ5U7nxUg”
“@PPathole @SpaceX Absolutely! Staggeringly insane amount of work between now and then.”
“@StarshipFairing @SpaceX @ulalaunch @blueorigin @relativityspace @torybruno @thetimellis Design is easy, production is hard”
“New SpaceX Starlink cover shows transfer orbit from Earth to Mars https://t.co/vwWeuhWCoP”
“@AngelNDevil2 @torybruno What is not well understood is that ULA *still* has a monopoly carve-out for US government launches for which SpaceX is not allowed to compete, costing the taxpayer twice as much per launch than it should. This is obviously not real competition.”
“@teslaownersSV @SpaceX I do live in a $50k house, but not this specific one”
“@torybruno @ChadBowman0 @thesheetztweetz Now, this sort of nonsense happens all the time with government contracts & everyone knows it. However, in this case, it is money diverted from making life multiplanetary, which is the goal of SpaceX, vs the ULA goal of maximizing dividends to Lockheed & Boeing. Not ok.”
“@PPathole @Tesla @SpaceX Basic MRI is easier than it sounds good tbh. High resolution MRI in short time with weak magnetic field is hard.”
“@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.”
