@growing_daniel Fair point!

@GiorgiaMeloni Thanks!

@JohnStossel ESG ratings are extremely distorted

@SawyerMerritt Cool

@RobertKennedyJr @TuckerCarlson Sachs is right

Accurate 😂

We did switch to a passive (mostly) glass heat shield, rather than actively-cooled steel, as the latter was heavier, at least according to initial calculations

Why is Starship made of stainless steel? This article from 5 years ago explains the reasons. Worth noting that the ship would have failed on reentry if made of aluminum or carbon fiber, as they can’t take the heat. https://t.co/QVAtv74quq

🚀🚀 Stainless Steel Rocket 🚀🚀

@krassenstein Speaks to the incredible resilience of stainless steel at temperature. We will further hone our SX300 alloy to withstand even higher temperatures.

@Cmdr_Hadfield @SpaceX Thanks Chris! A fully and immediately reusable orbital heat shield, which (as you know) has never been made before, is the single toughest problem remaining. Being able to iterate with many ideas on many ships is key to solving this.

@jack attention is all you need

@Kristennetten @SpaceX I think we should try to catch the booster with the mechazilla arms next flight!

@cb_doge Yeah

Despite loss of many tiles and a damaged flap, Starship made it all the way to a soft landing in the ocean! Congratulations @SpaceX team on an epic achievement!!

Successful soft landing of the Starship Super Heavy rocket booster!

External camera comes online in 11 mins

We do actually have acquisition signal. 11 internal cameras are transmitting. Figuring out why external cameras aren’t.

@Not_the_Bee Elvis is in the building

@MikeBenzCyber I should note that we do this for everyone (not just public figures), unless we are given no legal choice
