@SpaceX Starship’s fifth flight test lifted off on October 13, 2024, with our most ambitious test objectives yet as we work to demonstrate techniques fundamental to Starship and Super Heavy’s fully and rapidly reusable design.

@SpaceX @FAANews Elon Musk explains exactly how Space X's Mechazilla can catch the Super Heavy booster.

On Sunday morning, Space X successfully caught a 20+ story tall rocket booster.

@SpaceX @FAANews "designed to catch the largest flying and heaviest flying object ever made and pluck it outta the air."

"So you got a couple hundred tons plummeting at more than half the speed of sound. So this thing is still coming in really fast."

@SpaceX @FAANews One of the smartest humans to ever walk the earth.

Musk: Yeah, so I don't want it to land on the ground, I want you to catch it with massive chopsticks.

Employee: Haha

Musk: No, I'm serious.

Do you think he did this? He’s not an engineer. He hired people who did this

RedeyedJohnny5__1845508492003623167

Why don't you go to the bank, take out a loan, and hire some people to build spaceships?

@SpaceX @FAANews Elon crunching the cost to manufacture a rocket in a spreadsheet during a plane ride in 2002 and realizing SpaceX could do it at 1/50th the cost is the most productive use of a spreadsheet on a plane ride ever

@SpaceX @FAANews 6 thoughts on "Elon Musk" by Walter Isaacson


Including the Twitter deal, SpaceX's "Idiot Index", the manufacturing "algorithm", management style and Big Tech beefs (Bill Gates, Larry Page, Jeff Bezos).

@SpaceX @FAANews grok? > What is the purpose of mechazilla catching rockets?

@SpaceX @FAANews I’m equal parts blown away by what @SpaceX accomplished this morning but also with THIS LIVE 4K PRODUCTION the Everyday Astronaut / @considercosmos team produced!

@SpaceX @FAANews @considercosmos

The goal of the test is to get further along than IFT-4 in June, 2024. If all goes well, Starship will re-enter in the Indian Ocean

this will be the first time SpaceX will be attempting to catch the Super Heavy booster with the launch tower!
