@teslaownersSV @Tesla 🤣🤣

@thesheetztweetz After all, SpaceX’s first payload to orbit & back was a wheel of cheese …

@FrancisSuarez @boringcompany @alexDLPmiami Glad you enjoyed the experience!

SpaceX is going to put a literal Dogecoin on the literal moon

Nicheman — his superpower is appealing to small audiences

@waitbutwhy !!

@lexfridman True

Over 10,000 people are needed for Giga Texas just through 2022! - 5 mins from airport -15 mins from downtown - Right on Colorado river

@jdeshetler @NASASpaceflight @SpaceX @BocaChicaGal Can be a little foggy sometimes :)

@Erdayastronaut @LabPadre Barely a scratch. :) Back on the stand soon! Will report conclusions as soon as we know them.

Starbase will grow by several thousand people over the next year or two

@OwenSparks_ I sure hope so!

@OwenSparks_ Agreed! We’re not super far, as Magic Valley Utility can give us almost all wind-power, which will be used for LOX (78% of propellant mass)/N2/argon distillation. We’re also aiming to increase solar power from 1MW to 10MW, paired with Tesla Megapacks, for continuous power.

Probably most “in space” you could possibly feel by being in a glass dome

Am donating $20M to Cameron County schools & $10M to City of Brownsville for downtown revitalization. Details to follow next week.

@Adamklotz_ @SpaceX BN1 is a manufacturing pathfinder, so will be scrapped. We learned a lot, but have already changed design to BN2. Goal is to get BN2 with engines on orbital pad before end of April. It might even be orbit-capable if we are lucky.

Please consider moving to Starbase or greater Brownsville/South Padre area in Texas & encourage friends to do so! SpaceX’s hiring needs for engineers, technicians, builders & essential support personnel of all kinds are growing rapidly.

@CodingMark @Adamklotz_ @SpaceX More like V10.0

@Adamklotz_ @SpaceX Next major technology rev is at SN20. Those ships will be orbit-capable with heat shield & stage separation system. Ascent success probability is high. However, SN20+ vehicles will probably need many flight attempts to survive Mach 25 entry heating & land intact.

@Adamklotz_ @SpaceX SN15 rolls to launch pad in a few days. It has hundreds of design improvements across structures, avionics/software & engine. Hopefully, one of those improvements covers this problem. If not, then retrofit will add a few more days.
