Odds of rocket landing successfully today are still less than 50%. The 80% figure by end of year is only bcs many launches ahead.

If this works, I'm treating myself to a volcano lair. It's time.

Waited to say something until after we fixed some of the options pricing (too high) and colors (too many similar)

@johngreen @hankgreen You had me at Sheen or Gaddafi. Must admit to liking "The Fault in Our Stars" too. Sad, romantic and beautifully named

Ascent successful. Dragon enroute to Space Station. Rocket landed on droneship, but too hard for survival.

Ok, looks like we got some killer footage from the chase plane. Big ocean, small ship. Posting vid shortly http://t.co/2F5FK0TZ0i

@bonnienorman Haha, awesome :)

Battery "breakthroughs" need to state power *and* energy density (not the same thing), plus how long they last. They usually fail on energy.

Rocket launch good, satellite in geo transfer orbit. Still so damn intense. Looking fwd to it feeling normal one day.

Worth watching @ExMachinaMovie. The AI would be in the network, not the robot, but otherwise good.

@benfeldman63 Thanks!

@andrewket @TeslaRoadTrip Wow!

Launch window always tight when orbital synch needed. In this case, Space Station. For Earth-Sun gravity null point, moon was in the way.

We just got banned in West Virginia. Oh no. http://t.co/gNztPDNtVT

Launch postponed due to lightning from an approaching anvil cloud

@bonnienorman New Roadster battery should complete safety validation by end of July, so likely available in August

@Aero4Real I only invest in companies I help found or to help a friend or a cause (no return expected for latter two)

While the rocket does look rather tall & tippy, a stable landing is no problem with proper throttle response https://t.co/B4Y6D4dpsc

Looks like Falcon landed fine, but excess lateral velocity caused it to tip over post landing http://t.co/eJWzN6KSJa

Have asked SolarCity if we can do something philanthropic with the CA aqueducts to help the water crisis. Investigating…

@andrewket @TeslaRoadTrip Wow!

Droneship is fine. No hull breach and repairs are minor. Impact overpressure is closer to a fast fire than an explosion.

For the future to be good, we need electric transport, solar power and (of course) ... http://t.co/8mwVWukQDL

We debated this, but there really is $10k gas saved by most owners over 5 yrs (avg ownership period). Since it's true, we are sticking w it.

3 mins to liftoff

Cause of hard rocket landing confirmed as due to slower than expected throttle valve response. Next attempt in 2 months.
