“@Erdayastronaut @SpaceX All of that and more. We’re doing a broad review of launch site, propulsion, structures, avionics, range & regulatory constraints this weekend. I will also be at the Cape next week to review hardware in person.”
“@alandail @SpaceX Exactly”
“@SpaceX We will need to make a lot of improvements to have a chance of completing 48 launches next year!”
“@tobyliiiiiiiiii @RationalEtienne @SPEXcast @William_M_Brown @PPathole @thesheetztweetz @waEMD @SpaceX @SpaceXStarlink @WANationalGuard Oh yeah, Starship update coming in about 3 weeks. The design has coalesced. What is presented will actually be what flies to orbit as V1.0 with almost no changes.”
“@RationalEtienne @SPEXcast @William_M_Brown @PPathole @thesheetztweetz @waEMD @SpaceX @SpaceXStarlink @WANationalGuard High frequency lasers are the way to go for sure”
“@SPEXcast @William_M_Brown @RationalEtienne @PPathole @thesheetztweetz @waEMD @SpaceX @SpaceXStarlink @WANationalGuard Great”
“@William_M_Brown @RationalEtienne @PPathole @thesheetztweetz @waEMD @SpaceX @SpaceXStarlink @WANationalGuard Brownsville is quite far south, so probably 3 months or so for good connectivity — needs several more Starlink launches. I’m using it at the little house I rent in the area. Definitely not good there yet.”
“@PPathole @thesheetztweetz @waEMD @SpaceX @SpaceXStarlink @WANationalGuard Average latency will improve as more satellites launch (directly above you more frequently) & more ground stations are deployed. As we’re able to put more ground stations on roofs of server centers, legacy Internet latency will be zero.”
“@tobyliiiiiiiiii @RationalEtienne @PPathole @thesheetztweetz @waEMD @SpaceX @SpaceXStarlink @WANationalGuard Very soon for higher latitudes like Seattle”
“@RationalEtienne @PPathole @thesheetztweetz @waEMD @SpaceX @SpaceXStarlink @WANationalGuard Yes, Starlink is designed to enable competitive gaming”
“@thesheetztweetz @waEMD @SpaceX @SpaceXStarlink @WANationalGuard Starlink will be a revolution in connectivity, especially for remote regions or for emergency services when landlines are damaged”
“@Zshauladventure @NASAKennedy @ulalaunch @SpaceX @NatReconOfc Good to see. Inspiring for future of space!”
“@ErcXspace @SpaceX @FelixSchlang @MarcusHouseGame @Erdayastronaut @NASASpaceflight Great render! The circumferential welds & skin panels will be much smoother in future builds.”
“@vm_one1 @waEMD @SpaceX We will probably IPO Starlink, but only several years in the future when revenue growth is smooth & predictable. Public market does *not* like erratic cash flow haha. I’m a huge fan of small retail investors. Will make sure they get top priority. You can hold me to it.”
“@PerezShivam @waEMD @SpaceX Fate loooves irony haha”
“@waEMD @SpaceX Glad SpaceX could help! We are prioritizing emergency responders & locations with no Internet connectivity at all.”
“@hisdirtremoves @SpaceX Not bad”
“@Neopork85 @SpaceX Haha”
“@Neopork85 @SpaceX @MarcusHouseGame We really need better legs for Starship. They’re coming.”
“@Neopork85 @SpaceX @MarcusHouseGame Most likely, all flaps will fold after landing to reduce wind tip over force. There may be some cases where flaps deployed help stability (change in wind direction), in which case one or more flaps will extend.”
“@Model3Owners @TrungTPhan It took an utterly insane amount of work to move the SpaceX & Tesla success probabilities above ~zero”
“@TrungTPhan To be frank, in the early days, I thought there was >90% chance that both SpaceX & Tesla would be worth $0. The press & aerospace / automotive industry at the time (correctly) agreed with me.”
“@PPathole @_rykllan @FelixSchlang @spaceXcentric @MarcusHouseGame @SpaceX Cumulative mass to orbit per year (corrected for GTO & other high energy orbits) is the best comparative metric imo”
“@PPathole @_rykllan @FelixSchlang @spaceXcentric @MarcusHouseGame @SpaceX That’s the number that really matters”
“@_rykllan @FelixSchlang @spaceXcentric @MarcusHouseGame @SpaceX Anyone tracking tonnage to orbit per year for all launch vehicles?”
“@Erdayastronaut @PPathole @SpaceX We’re pretty close to the manufacturing size limit for a milled copper & steel jacket nozzle. Lot of complexity to add a nozzle extension to a sea level engine for small gain. Also hard to fit bigger engine nozzles on the booster.”
“@Erdayastronaut @PPathole @SpaceX Above 50% likely to make it”
“@PPathole @SpaceX This is a test engine. Flight articles are fixed with no gimbal.”
“@SpaceX Worth noting that thrust is only slightly higher with the big bell nozzle version. Larger bell is primarily for efficiency in vacuum. Aiming for 380+ sec Isp for RVac long-term. Initially likely to be ~372.”
“@SpceEnthusiast @tjmurphy_mit @thesheetztweetz @ExploreMars @SpaceX @TheeSpaceDude Over time, outer 20 will have ~300 tons of thrust & inner 8 ~210, so roughly 7500 tons total at sea level or 1.5 T/W for booster+ship”
“@SpceEnthusiast @tjmurphy_mit @thesheetztweetz @ExploreMars @SpaceX @TheeSpaceDude Yeah”
“@tlowdon @EthicalSkeptic Antibody half-life for cov2 is very short. In a study that SpaceX did working with Harvard epidemiology, it appears to be as low as 2 or 3 weeks. Nonetheless, reinfection rates are very low & symptoms are minor, perhaps due to memory T cells https://t.co/z9WlvIjoTw https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Memory_T_cell”
“@WholeMarsBlog @MarcusHouseGame @Neopork85 @SpaceX @Erdayastronaut @SpaceToday1 @ElonsWorld @FelixSchlang @ChrisG_NSF @DJSnM Not yet”
“@MarcusHouseGame @Neopork85 @SpaceX @Erdayastronaut @SpaceToday1 @ElonsWorld @FelixSchlang @ChrisG_NSF @DJSnM Yes. This is the hardest part of the booster design.”
“@biogirl09 @JaneidyEve @Tesmanian_com @SpaceX We can’t have a blanket pass, but maybe for some events”
“@flcnhvy @DJSnM Neuralink this month & Tesla next month, SpaceX probably October. We will have made a lot of progress by then. Might have a prototype booster hop done by then.”
“@johnkrausphotos @NASASpaceflight @SpaceX @SuperclusterHQ Starship/Super Heavy is ~10X bigger in mass & volume”
“@GeffenAvraham @BryanFlanks @SpellMender @VladKarmon @torybruno @ULAEngineer @SpaceX 👆”
“@RGVaerialphotos @SpaceX @Erdayastronaut This little spit of dirt will take us to Mars”
“@Erdayastronaut @KenKirtland17 @torybruno @ulalaunch @SpaceX @blueorigin @DJSnM @ThePrimalDino Yes, integrated with the tip of the nose”
“@KenKirtland17 @torybruno @ulalaunch @SpaceX @blueorigin @Erdayastronaut @DJSnM @ThePrimalDino Starship fairing will actually have more height than shown here. Dome will be flatter & more of tip is accessible. Usable volume ~1000 cubic meters.”
“@FutureJurvetson @SpaceX This seems increasingly likely”
“@Erdayastronaut @SpaceX For sure”
“Congratulations @SpaceX & @NASA on completing first crewed Dragon flight!! 🇺🇸 returned.”
“Astronauts land in 2 hours @NASA @SpaceX”
“@Erdayastronaut @SpaceX However, we did prove that a SuperDraco landing could work by doing a propulsive hover https://t.co/Mr7VFIQwWf https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=07Pm8ZY0XJI”
“@Erdayastronaut @SpaceX All correct. Parachutes were originally the backup landing system, with SuperDraco thrusters as primary. Difficulty of proving thruster landing safety *and* architecture being suboptimal for moon/Mars caused us to change focus to parachutes.”
“@meier1028 @SpaceX @Space_Station @AstroBehnken @Astro_Doug Great game”
“@vincent13031925 @UniversalPics @TomCruise @SpaceX Could be great!”
“@sri_myneni @Erdayastronaut @considercosmos @SpaceX Sound & flame color will be quite different”
