A one man wrecking crew. Taking names and kicking ass, ever since #nasatweetup ruined The Perfect Shot.

[Angry Local Reporter @AngryLocalRprtr]

BREAKING: 20 years. 11 launches. Zero KG mass to orbit. Maybe we should cut down on the “rapid” talk. Unless you’re the guy who claims that FSD getting lost is “rapid iteration” the route to Hooters.

[Tesla Owners Silicon Valley @teslaownersSV]

BREAKING: SpaceX has once again broken the record for the tallest rocket ever built.

For the third time in just three years, a new version of Starship has been stacked at Starbase in South Texas near the US-Mexico border.

Starship V3 is larger and more powerful than previous generations, continuing SpaceX’s rapid pace of iteration as it pushes toward full reusability and deep space missions.

The scale of development happening at Starbase is unlike anything the modern space industry has seen.

[Angry Local Reporter @AngryLocalRprtr]

That moment when you realize my guy isn’t talking about Starship. But should be.

[Eric Berger @SciGuySpace]

Cool name and cool concept, but it is a long and difficult road from slick videos to real, functional hardware.

[Angry Local Reporter @AngryLocalRprtr]

Ticker symbol will be PNZI.

[Sawyer Merritt @SawyerMerritt]

Walter Isaacson today: "I definitely think you're going to see Tesla and SpaceX end up merging. They're already working together on Terafab. Elon Musk is always moving engineers back and forth between his companies. I think he wants to make this one big company."

[Angry Local Reporter @AngryLocalRprtr]

Occam’s Razor points to over promising and under delivering turning out to be a not so great business model. Especially in the run up to a scandalous IPO.

[Zack Golden @CSI_Starbase]

Over the past 6 months its become clear that SpaceX is withholding a massive amount of footage that they would normally share.

I think there are a few possibilities of whats happening here:

1. The era of hype building media is over

2. They are saving a colossal amount of footage for the Flight 12 broadcast, which will be twice as long as normal and cover nearly 2 years worth of V3 and Stage Zero 2.0 development.

3. Instead of cramming it all into Flight 12, they are planning some kind of multi-part documentary that will be released in weekly/monthly installments.

Personally I'm hoping for option 3, as it would likely be some kind of Path To Artemis/HLS type series.

[Angry Local Reporter @AngryLocalRprtr]

We can today, at affordable prices. Just takes one call to @celestisflights, and a couple of other intermediate events.

[Elon Musk @elonmusk]

One day, we will be out there, among the stars

[Angry Local Reporter @AngryLocalRprtr]

Third consecutive month of 4-6 week predictions! Even @psychicmediumje is embarrassed for the guy.

[Elon Musk @elonmusk]

Next flight of Starship and first flight of V3 ship & booster is 4 to 6 weeks away

[Angry Local Reporter @AngryLocalRprtr]

Sure we are sending humans to the moon, but this week’s most remarkable event has to be the haters becoming cheerleaders after getting a chance to high five Elon’s boy.

He’s still not giving you an airplane ride, but y’all look super cute pandering in an effort to get one.

[Angry Local Reporter @AngryLocalRprtr]

Fun fact: Santa Claus is the branch manager at the bank that has 2016 dollars. Want to skip the line when you go there to get $35,000 2016 dollars? Ask for the Easter Bunny. Don’t forget to tell them Angry Local Reporter sent you! Daddy needs his referral credits.

[Whole Mars Catalog @wholemars]

Ten years ago when Elon Musk unveiled the Tesla Model 3 critics said it was impossible to make an EV profitably for $35,000.

It wasn’t easy… but today you can buy a Model 3 that is way better than what was unveiled 10 years ago for just $27,000 in 2016 dollars and Tesla has been profitable for many years.

The Tesla team didn’t just hit their goal. They smashed through it.

Cheers to the mass market EV that started it all. Now, Tesla begins production of the Model 3 which will start at just $18,306 in 2016 dollars and have no steering wheel or pedals.

[Angry Local Reporter @AngryLocalRprtr]

Gotta love the fanboy excitement in the comments. A 1985 Saturn would blow their minds.

[Nic Cruz Patane @niccruzpatane]

The Tesla Cybercab features body panels made from polyurethane plastic, with the color injected directly during the molding process.

This eliminates the need for a traditional paint shop in production. For repairs, damaged panels are simply replaced according to Lars, VP of Vehicle Engineering.

[Angry Local Reporter @AngryLocalRprtr]

As if he isn’t out of town taking delivery of a brand new G800.

[Maye Musk @mayemusk]

There is no food in the fridge. The garage where I slept is on the right. The shower only has one towel so I left it for Elon. That was okay with me. When I was a child, I’d spend three weeks in the Kalahari Desert without showering. Many times. There was no water. I think my parents prepared me for this luxury.🤣

[Angry Local Reporter @AngryLocalRprtr]

Someone really needs to work on their reading. First this guy thinks he’s going around the moon, now he can’t read the Path Forward either. Nowhere does this letter say any of what this brown nose blogger says it says.

[Everyday Astronaut @Erdayastronaut]

Some incredible transparency from @NASAAdmin @rookisaacman regarding the Starliner crew fiasco. It will not fly again until the ROOT CAUSE is addressed, not just bandaided. I don’t see how this is can be worth it to Boeing anymore TBH. They have to be losing money on Starliner

[Angry Local Reporter @AngryLocalRprtr]

Excited to see how much more time this blogger spends messing around with graphics in an effort to make his maps even less usable.

[MaxQ @MaxQApp]

I’m currently in the process of rebuilding my launch graphics, so I don’t have an actual graphic today.

But I’ll give you a breakdown of today’s @SpaceX Transporter 15 launch.

-140 Satellites on Board head to a Sun Synchronous Orbit

-Booster 1071 is flying for the 30th time becoming the first west coast booster to reach 30 flights.

-OCISLY and GO Beyond are your recovery team for booster and fairings

Head over to https://t.co/txYUsPRQZR to see details on the launch and check out our new Track page to track satellites and see passes over your location!

[Angry Local Reporter @AngryLocalRprtr]

@SawyerMerritt The answer to this question is the same as the answer to “good lord, how many Cybertrucks are sitting unsold on dealership lots?”

Funny how you’re not hearing complaints about delayed delivery because SpaceX is getting all these at once, isn’t it?

[Angry Local Reporter @AngryLocalRprtr]

They’re taking delivery because literally nobody else will.

Maybe one day this platform will pay you enough to afford one.

[Nic Cruz Patane @niccruzpatane]

SpaceX’s Cybertruck fleet is HUUUGE, and they’re still taking delivery of more.

They’re replacing all their old gas work trucks at Starbase.

[Angry Local Reporter @AngryLocalRprtr]

This is an impressive way for a guy to move money from his left pocket to his right.

And pump up sales numbers for a failing product.

But hey, bootlickers gonna bootlick.

[Overly Trev @OverlyTrev]

More Cybertrucks being delivered to Starbase!

The more the better!

[Angry Local Reporter @AngryLocalRprtr]

Pretty certain “journalists” are supposed to report, not read press releases verbatim.

If you just repeat what your benefactors send you, you’re not a journalist. You’re a brown nose blogger.

[Ellie in Space 🚀💫 @esherifftv]

SpaceX writes “Gulf of America” in press release.
I read verbatim.

People get very upset and unsubscribe. And let me know this is why.

Isn’t a journalist supposed to quote statements “word for word”?
Very annoying to try and do what’s correct and get punished

[Angry Local Reporter @AngryLocalRprtr]

Your periodic reminder of what Starship would look like if it wasn’t tumbling out of control, burning up on reentry, or spontaneously exploding.

[Yatharth Mann @yatharthmann]

Lockheed Martin just released a beautiful animation of Starship HLS docking with Orion.

[Angry Local Reporter @AngryLocalRprtr]

Yet not a comment on Starbase Flambé.

The @jaketapper of spaceflight must be saving it for the book.

[Eric Berger @SciGuySpace]

This doesn't seem ideal for a mature technology.

https://t.co/2ojVpZdnma

[Angry Local Reporter @AngryLocalRprtr]

You know you’re a brown nose blogger when you call a system that requires one guy in the passenger seat and another driving from their office cubicle “scalable.”

[Sawyer Merritt @SawyerMerritt]

Tesla's Robotaxi rides are smooth, confident and human-like. If you've used FSD V13.2.9, it will feel very familiar. While I know this is just day one, and an early access program, it's hard not to feel that Tesla has nailed it with their approach to autonomy. It's scalable.

[Angry Local Reporter @AngryLocalRprtr]

Who made this guy spokesperson for the entire spaceflight community?

Kind of ironic, given that @SpaceX has been more effective stopping his leaks than Starship’s.

[Yatharth Mann @yatharthmann]

On behalf of the entire spaceflight community, I’d like to thank @elonmusk for this inspiring presentation.

Lots of new info, lots of new renders, and lots of inspiration.

Thanks to Elon and the SpaceX team for building this sci-fi future.
