“@Dtrford @austinbarnard45 @AlexSvanArt @ErcXspace @SpceEnthusiast @SpacexVision @TomDixonDesign @SpaceX @spaceXcentric Doesn’t quite illustrate true size difference. Starship payload volume & mass are >1000% that of Shuttle.”

15 years of Elon, fully searchable. The production archive uses Supabase as the source of truth, with 94,952 indexed tweets available in development as a full-archive fallback and a curated annotation layer for context, theory, and how major claims aged.
“@RGVaerialphotos @SpaceX Yes”
“@SpaceX Standing down for today to inspect rocket. Hopefully launching tomorrow.”
“@SpaceX Pressure is slightly high in upper stage liquid oxygen tank. Review underway.”
“@SpaceX Last launch of 2020 coming up”
“@PPathole @ErcXspace @SpaceX *cooling haha”
“@ErcXspace @SpaceX Ship leeward side will be bare metal, windward will have black, hexagonal heat shield tiles”
“@SpacePadreIsle @SpaceX Agreed, should be preserved in memory of SN8”
“@Erdayastronaut @SpaceX SN8 did great! Even reaching apogee would’ve been great, so controlling all way to putting the crater in the right spot was epic!!”
“Fuel header tank pressure was low during landing burn, causing touchdown velocity to be high & RUD, but we got all the data we needed! Congrats SpaceX team hell yeah!!”
“@SpaceX @Space_Station It’s called the Space “Station”, but it’s actually moving around Earth at ~25 times the speed of sound or ~10 times faster than a rifle bullet”
“@SpaceX Probably 1/3 chance of completing all mission objectives”
“@SpaceX Hopefully flying tomorrow”
“@Space_Station @SpaceX Wow, Station looks amazing!”
“@RDAnglePhoto @SpaceX @Teslarati Yes, it does.”
“@ErcXspace @SpaceX @NASASpaceflight @Erdayastronaut @MarcusHouseGame @FelixSchlang Not bad”
“@Tesmanian_com Award accepted on behalf of the great people at Tesla, SpaceX, Neuralink & Boring Co”
“@lrocket Thanks for everything you did to help build SpaceX! Some of the best memories ever.”
“@tobyliiiiiiiiii @SpaceX @NASA @NASA_LSP @NASAJPL @esa Actually, off to the side (so it doesn’t take out the launch mount in bad landing), but with the same arm used to pick up the ship”
“@tobyliiiiiiiiii @SpaceX @NASA @NASA_LSP @NASAJPL @esa Where it should be!”
“@mirojurcevic @TashaARK This is a misperception. SpaceX developed & continues to use lidar for Dragon docking with @Space_Station. Just pointless imo for self-driving. If you’re going to do active photon generation, use an occlusion penetrating wavelength, like precision radar at ~4mm.”
“@PhilippeCROIZON @SpaceX One day we will fly you on Starship”
“@hisdirtremoves @SpaceX I can’t comment on turbopump internal details, but you’re roughly in the ballpark. Wow, rocket turbopumps, especially if oxygen-rich, are insanely hard! Arguably, the hardest mechanical/fluids/combustion problem known to exist.”
“@westcoastbill @SpaceX 13 years & $11 billion … wow”
“@DJSnM @DavidHuber15 @nickhenning3d @SpaceX @ErcXspace @Neopork85 @C_Bass3d @Caspar_Stanley @SpacexVision @FelixSchlang Probably”
“@nickhenning3d @SpaceX @ErcXspace @Neopork85 @C_Bass3d @Caspar_Stanley @SpacexVision @FelixSchlang There’s no entry/braking burn & hypersonic angle of attack is ~70 degrees”
“@LinusTech @SpaceXStarlink @SpaceX 🇨🇦 😀”
“@LinusTech @SpaceXStarlink @SpaceX Awaiting approval from Canadian authorities”
“Congratulations SpaceX Team!”
“@tobyliiiiiiiiii @austinbarnard45 @SuperclusterHQ Good point. Probably next week in form of a written piece on SpaceX website.”
“@SpaceX Just a small-seeming issue with loss of upper stage camera. Probably nothing serious, but standing down to re-examine whole vehicle just in case.”
“@Neopork85 @SpaceX @NASASpaceflight @austinbarnard45 @whoisheartbreak @Erdayastronaut @FelixSchlang @MarcusHouseGame @SpaceToday1 More great renderings! Significant improvements coming to the welds.”
“@flcnhvy Good grief! SpaceX is getting zero money for this. Starship is designed to carry people & cargo around Earth (also to moon & Mars). Vast majority of use will be civilian. It’s just like an airline in space. All airlines sometimes carry military cargo, but ~99% is civilian.”
“@Erdayastronaut @flcnhvy @PelleBrannvall @Neopork85 @Caspar_Stanley @ErcXspace @MarcusHouseGame @FelixSchlang @C_Bass3d @nickhenning3d @SpaceX @BocaChicaGal SpaceX/Tesla metallurgy & new materials team is next-level”
“@Erdayastronaut @PelleBrannvall @flcnhvy @Neopork85 @Caspar_Stanley @ErcXspace @MarcusHouseGame @FelixSchlang @C_Bass3d @nickhenning3d @SpaceX There are sensitive elements, but they’re on the inside. Also, a good telephoto lens will be able to capture what I’ve posted. And yeah, anyone who can reverse engineer what I’ve posted doesn’t need to reverse engineer!”
“@Teslarati Great work by SpaceX valve engineering & production!”
“@flcnhvy @Neopork85 @Caspar_Stanley @ErcXspace @MarcusHouseGame @FelixSchlang @C_Bass3d @nickhenning3d @SpaceX It might be used in some areas. ITAR laws prevent us from being too specific about solutions.”
“@Neopork85 @Caspar_Stanley @ErcXspace @MarcusHouseGame @FelixSchlang @C_Bass3d @nickhenning3d @SpaceX Tiles will be on hot side of flaps too. A very tough problem is sealing the moving flap to body joint without melting or shredding the seal.”
“@RGVaerialphotos @SpaceX I’m proud to say that that nose is pointier than it needs to be haha”
“@johnkrausphotos @SuperclusterHQ @SpaceX 👍”
“@johnkrausphotos @Patreon @SuperclusterHQ @SpaceX Maybe this should be the flag of Mars”
“@TashaARK Additive manufacturing of parts is still far too costly for cars, but can rapidly create tooling to accelerate pace of innovation. It’s already sensible for rocket engine parts. To the best of our knowledge, SpaceX is 2 or 3 years ahead of other companies in use of additive.”
“@ErcXspace @SpaceX @Erdayastronaut @MarcusHouseGame @FelixSchlang Great render. Note, there will need to be an arm that lifts booster to launch stand & ship to booster.”
“@TribeHoh @SpaceX @WAStateCommerce You’re most welcome!”
“@SamTalksTesla @SpaceX Much sooner”
“@mdcainjr @SpaceX @45thSpaceWing @NASA Great photo!”
“@DirtyTesla @SpaceX It will soon”
“New SpaceX droneship will be called “A Shortfall of Gravitas””
“@teslaownersSV @SpaceX Vector-space bird’s eye view coming with FSD”
“@PPathole @SpaceX Unexpected pressure rise in the turbomachinery gas generator”
