T minus 22 mins to launch mission 3 to dock with the Space Station http://t.co/TfGUbZSaL3

Computer glitch found by @SpaceX avionics while bench testing on IM. Couldn't replicate on vehicle. Launch proceeding...

Launch on track for tomorrow morning at 10:10 am Cape Canaveral time

@andrewliebchen @_chrissimmons Exactly. Then no need for clean energy subsidies, as externality is priced into mkt behavior

@_ChrisSimmons A carbon tax would affect coal even more than gasoline, so electricity would also become more expensive

One often hears that there is no point in a US carbon tax unless China acts. Well, they just did http://t.co/SIp9NzkulK

Rocket static fire @SpaceX Cape Canaveral launch pad looks good. Engines generated 433 tons of thrust, parameters nominal.

@FaeLoba Best is winning competitions like Formula SAE, design/build/fly or other evidence of exceptional eng ability

@EricIdle Cool! Btw, thought you might appreciate that 1st flight of Dragon spacecraft carried a large wheel of cheese :)

Thanks @CNBC! “@Lebeaucarnews: The Model S delivered what @elonmusk promised. A ride to make you re-think going electric.”

Genius move “@cdabel114: @CNN Well, to be fair, they did use the controversial gimmick of actually charging up the car”

CNN about halfway through East Coast Supercharger test drive of @TeslaMotors Model S w @PeterDrives & @AbigailBassett

Testing the Model S on a surface of pure ice and snow http://t.co/OeZwXFSv

Btw, more free East Coast Superchargers coming soon. Will allow lower initial charge, v high speed trip & long detours, like NYTimes drive.

@batasrki Yeah, Top Gear pretended the Tesla Roadster ran out of charge and they had to push it home. Logs showed 50 miles range left.

@tomleykis Thanks Tom! Support of real Tesla customers like yourself who drive the car every day is v much appreciated.

Tesla data logging is only turned on with explicit written permission from customers, but after Top Gear BS, we always keep it on for media.
