@arstechnica @SciGuySpace Russia has great rocket technology & talent. Much respect. Would encourage focus on reusability. Single-use rockets cannot be competitive any more than single-use aircraft.

@vincechen Doing our best

@QuinnKupec @SpaceX @UofMaryland Yeah, exactly! Would be great to hear your thoughts. We’re going to try a few approaches. Can def be done, just about minimizing mass.

@smartereveryday @BadAstronomer We already do targeted retro burn to a specific point in Pacific w no islands or ships, so upper stage doesn’t become a dead satellite. Need to retarget closer to shore & position catcher ship like Mr Steven.

And then land on a bouncy house

@BadAstronomer Yeah, but great for creating a giant object that retains its shape across all Mach regimes & drops ballistic coefficient by 2 orders of magnitude

SpaceX will try to bring rocket upper stage back from orbital velocity using a giant party balloon

This is gonna sound crazy, but …

@timkhiggins Yes, excessive automation at Tesla was a mistake. To be precise, my mistake. Humans are underrated.

@TheEconomist The Economist used to be boring, but smart with a wicked dry wit. Now it’s just boring (sigh). Tesla will be profitable & cash flow+ in Q3 & Q4, so obv no need to raise money.

@Taysh83 @Tesla Sorry, demand has been higher than expected. Making them as fast as possible, but waitlist is 3 to 6 months.
