Well … it looked smaller on paper

Catching rocket fairings falling from space has proven tricky, so we made the net really big https://t.co/WMeNZeksRq

@Katheri93719178 @dtemkin Yes. Caves are now filled with water again. Difficulty of passage is massively dependent on water level. Little kids can walk/swim in when low, but it can be deadly to pro divers when high. Pump & generator engineering team deserves some credit for the rescue.

@JohnnaSabri @dtemkin It sometimes feels like reality is a moral filter. I suppose that is what religion tells us. Wonder what I should do differently.

@RockyPruitt @kulpability @DonAndrewBailey @haydentiff @TheFerris_Wheel @100K_Ideas @GotchuW Makes a lot of sense

@dtemkin This reaction has shaken my opinion of many people. We were asked to create a backup option & worked hard to do so. Checked with dive team many times to confirm it was worthwhile. Now it’s there for anyone who needs it in future. Something’s messed up if this is not a good thing.

@hankgreen @goodedesign I think the person who attacked me on Twitter will survive somehow

@hankgreen @eehouls Thanks for correcting me. I meant to say over half a million people.

@DonAndrewBailey @haydentiff @TheFerris_Wheel @100K_Ideas @GotchuW Please lmk contamination levels of any kind when you test the water

@DonAndrewBailey @TheFerris_Wheel @100K_Ideas @GotchuW Please lmk results of your water tests

@DonAndrewBailey @TheFerris_Wheel @100K_Ideas @GotchuW When you’re there next week, are you planning to test water sources for lead?

@DMC_Ryan Should be very soon. We’ve already made around 100 Model 3 Performance cars for test drives in stores.

@bevvscott @eehouls Exactly

@eehouls No, it means I created jobs for 50,000 people directly and, through parts suppliers & supporting professions, ~250,000 people indirectly, thus supporting half a million families. What have you done?

@HelloCullen Already have

@blake_kistler @BBCWorld Ironically, the “billionaire” label, when used by media, is almost always meant to devalue & denigrate the subject. I wasn’t called that until my companies got to a certain size, but reality is that I still do the same science & engineering as before. Just the scale has changed.

@LanceUlanoff @BBCWorld Good for rescuing vulnerable patients in dangerous environments, particularly if water, toxic gas or dangerous bacteria/viruses present, as patient would remain dry & at std air pressure entire time.

@Sarthk007 @BBCWorld Yes, it was specifically designed to pass that point

@BBCWorld Moreover, based on extensive cave video review & discussion with several divers who know journey, SpaceX engineering is absolutely certain that mini-sub can do entire journey & demonstrate at any time.

@BBCWorld The former Thai provincial governor (described inaccurately as “rescue chief”) is not the subject matter expert. That would be Dick Stanton, who co-led the dive rescue team. This is our direct correspondence: https://t.co/dmC9l3jiZR
