“@TylerG1998 @NASASpaceflight @SpaceX It is! Looks like we can get 378 sec Isp with this version of Raptor Vacuum, so over 380 sec with some improvements down the road.”
“@WholeMarsBlog @teslaownersSV @SpaceX I’m driving “alpha” 9, but we need to fix some obvious issues before releasing beta 9, hopefully next week. FSD subscription capability should be turning on via the Tesla app.”
“@teslaownersSV @SpaceX “It will be like this, but bigger””
“@WatchersTank @SpaceX We’re almost done with first prototype booster. This will go to test stand A. Next one will fly to orbit. Team has been crushing it many days & nights in a row!”
“@MattWallace888 My primary home is literally a ~$50k house in Boca Chica / Starbase that I rent from SpaceX. It’s kinda awesome though. Only house I own is the events house in the Bay Area. If I sold it, the house would see less use, unless bought by a big family, which might happen some day.”
“@leastImAlive @PPathole Yeah, sold my houses, except for 1 in Bay Area that’s rented out for events. Working on sustainable energy for Earth with Tesla & protecting future of consciousness by making life multiplanetary with SpaceX. Also, AI risk mitigation with Neuralink & fixing traffic with Boring.”
“@LloydOstertagg @SpaceX Thanks Lloyd!”
“@ErcXspace @SpaceX 😍”
“@PPathole @SpaceX Science-fiction should not be fiction forever!”
“@ErcXspace @austinbarnard45 @SpaceX @NASASpaceflight Might take a few kicks at the can before we catch the rocket haha”
“@ErcXspace @SpaceX @NASASpaceflight @MarcusHouse Pretty close. Inner ring is closer to center 3, as all 12 gimbal together. Boost back burn efficiency is greatly improved in this config.”
“@PPathole @nextspaceflight @NASASpaceflight @BocaChicaGal @SpaceX Actually, so-called “secondary” structure is the hard part – so many pipes & wires. Tall stuff & small stuff are the toughest things about Starship.”
“@Erdayastronaut @nextspaceflight @NASASpaceflight @BocaChicaGal @SpaceX Raptor production is approaching one every 48 hours”
“@nextspaceflight @NASASpaceflight @BocaChicaGal @SpaceX 29 Raptors on Booster initially, rising to 32 later this year, along with thrust increase per engine. Aiming for >7500 ton thrust long-term. T/W ~1.5.”
“@Caspar_Stanley @Erdayastronaut @SpaceX @SuperHeavyBN3 Yup”
“@IlyaRosenberg @Caspar_Stanley @Erdayastronaut @SpaceX @SuperHeavyBN3 They are now the same (LOX below CH4). Ox is 3.5 times heavier than fuel, so makes sense to have it lower.”
“@Caspar_Stanley @Erdayastronaut @SpaceX @SuperHeavyBN3 Lot of plumbing!”
“@PPathole @SpaceX The hard part about Raptor is simplifying it”
“@BLKMDL3 @TeslaGong @wintonARK Yes, with the SpaceX rocket thruster option package. It will be safe, but very intense. Probably not wise for those with a medical condition – same as a hardcore roller coaster.”
“SpaceX launching satellite Doge-1 to the moon next year – Mission paid for in Doge – 1st crypto in space – 1st meme in space To the mooooonnn!! https://t.co/xXfjGZVeUW https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=s3NWyh8a5t0”
“@considercosmos @SpaceX Will use this as my wallpaper”
“@Erdayastronaut @SpaceX 😮”
“@johnkrausphotos @SpaceX Mars Base Alpha”
“@collision @SpaceX Cool! 🇮🇪”
“@PPathole @Tesla @SpaceX I could get a job, just not at an Internet company (weren’t many back then)”
“@teslaownersSV @SpaceX @NASA @considercosmos Support for humanity’s future in space is super appreciated. Let’s make the sci-fi future we want real!”
“@janixos @ErcXspace @SpaceX Actually, yes. And Red Rocket truck stop.”
“@ErcXspace @SpaceX 69th Raptor engine coming soon”
“@AstroJordy @PPathole @SpaceX @Tesla That version of Falcon 1 never flew, so must be ~2004. The CAD looks so simple! I think we were still using SolidWorks back then.”
“@eugenelee3 @PPathole @SpaceX @Tesla Yeah, not scalable. My grad student idea was to try to use advanced chip making equipment to create high energy density capacitors accurate to molecular level.”
“@PPathole @SpaceX @Tesla That was my night job. Day job was working on ruthenium-tantalum ultracapacitors at Pinnacle Research.”
“@PPathole @SpaceX @Tesla True. Ancient times … Had to flip CPU registers explicitly, as computer was so slow.”
“@TimBirks1 @Erdayastronaut @SpaceX Pretty much”
“@w00ki33 @SpaceX @SuperclusterHQ Simulation is improving rendering resolution …”
“Thanks to all that helped SpaceX!”
“@dogeofficialceo @WatchersTank @SpaceX Looking at pups soon!”
“@jordanxmajel @WatchersTank @SpaceX Shock absorption is built into tower arms. Since tower is ground side, it can use a lot more mass to arrest booster downward momentum.”
“@jordanxmajel @WatchersTank @SpaceX Load points just below the grid fins”
“@WatchersTank @SpaceX Just one skyscraper catching another nbd haha”
“SpaceX is going to put a literal Dogecoin on the literal moon”
“@jdeshetler @NASASpaceflight @SpaceX @BocaChicaGal Can be a little foggy sometimes :)”
“@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.”
“@SpaceX At least the crater is in the right place!”
“@SpaceX A high production rate solves many ills”
