Ahem … starting soon

@flcnhvy Giant gap between experimental medical device for use only in patients with extreme medical problems & widespread consumer use. This is way harder than making a small number of prototypes.

@tobyliiiiiiiiii @Erdayastronaut @flcnhvy @DJSnM Testing with shorter RVac skirt went well. Full length skirt test coming soon.

Neuralink product demo in 3 hours. Webcast at https://t.co/Y9wREd78oj.

@Erdayastronaut @flcnhvy @DJSnM Raptor reached 230 mT-F (over half a million pounds of thrust) at peak pressure with some damage, so this version of the engine can probably sustain ~210 tons. Should have a 250+ ton engine in about 6 to 9 months. Target for booster is 7500 tons (16.5 million pounds) of thrust.

@nextspaceflight Good chance something will slip, but, yeah, Sunday is intense

@Erdayastronaut @flcnhvy @DJSnM Only need 2 engines

@AstroJordy @flcnhvy @DJSnM Boring Co tunnel in Vegas is only a few months from being operational

@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.

@zeitmas @DJSnM Soon

@DJSnM They’re quite accurate!

@EvaFoxU That number sure comes up a lot 🤣🤣

@ajtourville @peterdog15 I’m fine with reasonable drone footage. Just needs to be at a fair distance & not coming right up to people. I think our security was a little overzealous in this case.

@GerberKawasaki @Tesla Thanks to a smart and hardworking team at Tesla. These sure are wild times …
