I would like to know the specs on the tank recharge rate. What cubic feet of air compressor is this running to refill to COPV tanks? What does the compressors and downforce fans mean for battery life?

Imagine the ticket sales of a Tesla only road race with a custom race track with inverted sections, jump gaps, 90 degree wall driving.. worlds first, most insane race. Sci-fi speed racer in real life.

If anything this was perfect marketing. Tesla is going to be every headline tomorrow. The amount of views, conversations, and posts taking about this reveal is going to be huge.

Starship is preparing to go to orbit. Flight 14 is targeting to launch as early as Tuesday, September 22, pending regulatory approval → spacex.com/launches/starship…

I don’t think people realize what this means for space infrastructure and empowering in space networking while removing black out zones with ground stations.
Starlink mini lasers are designed to achieve link speeds of 25 Gbps at distances up to 4000 km. They can be retrofitted for seamless integration with satellite manufacturers’ spacecrafts to deliver high-speed, low-latency connectivity on orbit → starlink.com/technology

This is an absolutely insane statistic. Just a few years ago it was unheard of to be able to land an orbital orbit booster. Now it is routine. 🚀

If Tesla partners with SpaceX to put the hardware in every one of their cars, they could eliminate AT&T to offer cell connectivity in their vehicles. Plus unlimited connectivity to the servers for over the air updates anywhere in the world.
The next gen @Starlink Direct to Cell system will deliver unparalleled performance with the world’s most advanced satellites, exclusive spectrum, and Starship’s unprecedented payload capacity → spacex.com/updates#dtc-gen2-…

This would expand coverage, keep more profits in Tesla, increase features for Tesla owners. Plus I’d rather the money go to SpaceX instead of AT&T.

The cheer gym my daughter trains at currently has a team placed 6th at Worlds. Good luck on day 2! #FOT #FlippingOutTumbling

Took the family to see the Minecraft movie. I played it since it was in launched and my son has played it since he was 4. Can’t say I enjoyed the movie. Wasted opportunity for a cool concept. I give it a 5/10, my son gave it 7/10. Wife and daughter said 2.5/10.

Dragon and the @framonauts splashed down off the coast of California earlier today, completing the first human spaceflight mission to explore the Earth’s polar regions!

This is the most insane camera view I’ve ever seen!

Absolute amazing views above the moon as Blue Ghost begins lowering it lunar orbit. Hopefully we get live coverage of the entire landing.
That feeling you get when you look out the window and realize you’re almost home! T-4 days until we land in the Moon. Blue Ghost will reach her final destination no earlier than 2:34 am CST on March 2. We’ll start the joint livestream with @NASA at 1:20 am CST, approximately 75 minutes before we touch down on the surface. Set your alarms here: youtube.com/live/ChEuA1AUJAY

This is a fun commercial. Little poke at competition but overall a fun and wholesome commercial. Personally I have had the best results using Duracell batteries in all the Tri-Tronics and Garmin products that I refurbish and use.
Tom, Gronk, & Duracell are built different. Enough said.

One launch closer to hitting 30 reused flights. Insane to think about this rocket having gone to space and landed 26 times so far.
Falcon 9 lands on the A Shortfall of Gravitas droneship, completing the first 26th launch and landing of an orbital class rocket

Congrats on the nomination. I think Jared is just who we need to bring NASA into a new era!
I am honored to receive President Trump’s @realDonaldTrump nomination to serve as the next Administrator of NASA. Having been fortunate to see our amazing planet from space, I am passionate about America leading the most incredible adventure in human history. On my last mission to space, my crew and I traveled farther from Earth than anyone in over half a century. I can confidently say this second space age has only just begun. Space holds unparalleled potential for breakthroughs in manufacturing, biotechnology, mining, and perhaps even pathways to new sources of energy. There will inevitably be a thriving space economy—one that will create opportunities for countless people to live and work in space. At NASA, we will passionately pursue these possibilities and usher in an era where humanity becomes a true spacefaring civilization. I was born after the Moon landings; my children were born after the final space shuttle launch. With the support of President Trump, I can promise you this: We will never again lose our ability to journey to the stars and never settle for second place. We will inspire children, yours and mine, to look up and dream of what is possible. Americans will walk on the Moon and Mars and in doing so, we will make life better here on Earth. It is the honor of a lifetime to serve in this role and to work alongside NASA’s extraordinary team to realize our shared dreams of exploration and discovery. Grateful to serve, Jared

Five relights was crazy and then they just kept doing it. 35 relights on one engine 🤯
Replying to @NASASpaceflight
34 or 35! Checking. And then Merlin wanted a piece of the action.

For a main rocket engine, 5 restarts back to back like this is unheard on. SpaceX is continuing to push rocket engineering into new heights.
Ever wondered if Raptor can do 5 firings back-to-back? Well wonder no more! This appears to be a relight test of the Raptor engine at SpaceX in McGregor, TX. nsf.live/mcgregor @NASASpaceflight
