@ashleevance For sure wise for elderly or immunocompromised to take the vaccine. Some debate about the second jab though. Quite a few negative reactions to that.

FSD Beta has now been expanded to ~2000 owners & we’ve also revoked beta where drivers did not pay sufficient attention to the road. No accidents to date. Next significant release will be in April. Going with pure vision — not even using radar. This is the way to real-world AI.

@pflodin @DoctorKarl Absolutely

Both do mining & use blocks & chains

BTC (Bitcoin) is an anagram of TBC(The Boring Company) What a coincidence!

@FFairing @thejackbeyer @NASASpaceflight Quarks & leptons

@thejackbeyer @NASASpaceflight Green flame in this context means engine is burning internal components made of copper. This is usually followed by a RUD (Rapid Unscheduled Disassembly).

@tesla_adri @28delayslater @TrevorMahlmann @SpacePadreIsle Dieses Jahr

@ErcXspace @SpaceX @NASASpaceflight @Erdayastronaut Transparent aluminum (ALON) might be cool

@TrevorMahlmann @SpacePadreIsle Celebrating a year of great work by the SpaceX team!

@DraperYounce Wow!

@WholeMarsBlog Like @CyberpunkGame, but *with* self-driving haha

@PPathole @arstechnica @SciGuySpace If 2021 manifest is met, SpaceX will do ~75% of total Earth payload to orbit with Falcon. A single Starship is designed to do in a day what all rockets on Earth currently do in a year. Even so, ~1000 Starships will take ~20 years to build a self-sustaining city on Mars.

@TezlaMick @arstechnica @SciGuySpace Yes

@arstechnica @SciGuySpace Falcon 9 is almost always at max capacity. When it has “spare” performance, it flies back to land, which costs much less than using a droneship. Our fundamental constraint is mass to orbit per unit time. Last year, SpaceX launched roughly double payload mass of rest of world.

@WholeMarsBlog @Herbert_Diess Fuel cells should be called fool sells! Such a silly choice for cars. Not great even for a rocket upper stage imo, but at least not absurd.

@PPathole I was just up there. Elevator on the other side. Floor is in, glass coming soon.

@Erdayastronaut @tobyliiiiiiiiii @NASASpaceflight Yeah, we talked about that internally. Could just have it land on a big net or bouncy castle. Lacks dignity, but would work. But, optimized landing propellant is only ~5% of dry mass, so it’s not a gamechanger.

@tobyliiiiiiiiii @Erdayastronaut @NASASpaceflight Might just catch the ship with the launch tower, same as booster
