@Kristennetten @annerajb @Jennerator211 @Erdayastronaut That would be a nice touch — PolitiTweet.org

@flcnhvy @28delayslater @DJSnM This is quite a complex beast, but hopefully within a month or so — PolitiTweet.org

Elon Musk @elonmusk

@28delayslater @DJSnM Haha awesome — PolitiTweet.org

@MarkChica @Kristennetten @TeslaGong @teslaownersSV @Teslatunity @Tesla We could probably do that — PolitiTweet.org

@TeslaGong @teslaownersSV @Teslatunity @Tesla Not sure we could go quite that tight, but we can for sure allow much narrower spaces at user’s discretion — PolitiTweet.org

@annerajb @Jennerator211 @Erdayastronaut With rare exceptions, composites would make Starship heavier. They don’t stand up well to high temperatures, but steel does great. — PolitiTweet.org

Elon Musk @elonmusk

@Jennerator211 @Erdayastronaut Mk1 ship is around 200 tons dry & 1400 tons wet, but aiming for 120 by Mk4 or Mk5. Total stack mass with max payload is 5000 tons. — PolitiTweet.org

@teslaownersSV @Teslatunity @Tesla Absolutely — PolitiTweet.org

@Teslatunity @Tesla You’re welcome! Feature requests always appreciated. — PolitiTweet.org

@Erdayastronaut @kimitalvitie Six. Two windward, one under each fin & two leeward. Provides redundancy for landing on unimproved surfaces. — PolitiTweet.org

@SamNazarius @HarryStoltz1 @justpaulinelol @Teslarati Almost entirely C++, but we did have an (advanced for the time) client-side Java app for viewing maps & (weirdly) a 3D hockey game in VRML — PolitiTweet.org

@justpaulinelol @Teslarati Mostly C/C++, Python & SQL — PolitiTweet.org

@flcnhvy @Erdayastronaut @Tesla It would be pretty embarrassing to use a non-Tesla battery! — PolitiTweet.org

Elon Musk @elonmusk

@Teslarati This includes original engineering of new factory processes & cars. Great engineers will only join if original engineering is supported, not just localization. — PolitiTweet.org

Elon Musk @elonmusk

@Teslarati Tesla is building a major engineering team in China, incl heavy focus on software/firmware for factory & car — PolitiTweet.org

@The_ShadowZone @DJSnM For sure more than one pass coming back to Earth. To Mars could maybe work single pass, but two passes probably wise. — PolitiTweet.org

Elon Musk @elonmusk

@OranMaliphant @Erdayastronaut Could do it, but we developed low cost reusable tiles that are much lighter than transpiration cooling & quite robust — PolitiTweet.org

Elon Musk @elonmusk

@Erdayastronaut Better just to ride your max temp all the way down & let T^4 be your friend. Lower atmosphere cools you down real fast, so not crazy hot after landing. — PolitiTweet.org

Elon Musk @elonmusk

@DJSnM Exactly. For reusable heatshield, minimize peak heating. For ablative/expendable, minimize total heat. Therefore reusable like Starship wants lift during high Mach reentry for lower peak, but higher total heat. — PolitiTweet.org
