@MarioNawfal Oui Elon est un génie, brillant personnage,vous vous attaquez à lui et toutes ces sociétés alors qu’il a donné à l’Amérique tous ces titres de Noblesse,Tesla,Space,Starlink,Neuralink,Ext ..Doge, il sauve l’Amérique et vous êtes en train de détruire votre Grand Pays l’ Amérique
@elonmusk@Tawadotcom Ne pas oublier aussi de travailler avec des gens simple qui peuvent faire et créer des choses formidables , même loin ai bout du monde
Elon Musk's friends tried to stop him from starting SpaceX by showing him rockets exploding.
His response was almost comical: losing the money was already his expectation.
That did not make the risk smaller. It meant he had priced failure into the decision before starting. The first three Falcon 1 launches would later fail, bringing the company close to the edge.
Optimism is useful, but this is a different kind of conviction. Musk did not believe failure was impossible. He decided the mission was worth attempting even if failure was likely.
🚨 ELON MUSK ADMITTED HE’S NOT SURE THIS ONE IS POSSIBLE
“This absorbs more of my mental energy than probably any other single thing. But it is so preposterously difficult that there are times where I wonder whether we can actually do this.”
He doesn’t talk like this about Mars. Or robotaxis. This one gets a maybe.
The core problem: to make a rocket fully reusable, it has to deliver about 4% of its lift-off mass to orbit. That has never been done before.
Everything else on the pad is fuel, tank, and engine. The landing gear, heat shield, and structure that has to survive reentry all come out of that same 4%. Nothing can be left behind. The vehicle has to come home.
“If full and rapid reusability can be achieved, it reduces the cost of access to orbit by a factor of 100 or more.
It’s the difference between humanity being a single-planet species and a multi-planet species. It’s really that big of a deal.”
SpaceX se concentre maintenant sur l’objectif d’effectuer un premier vol orbital. Dans ce cadre m, Ship 41 a effectué un tir statique longue durée d'un moteur Raptor pour simuler une désorbitation.
📸Elon just said that SpaceX will likely catch ship at the end of this year or the beginning of the next one❗️
This really means that there won’t be a capture of ship 41 on flight 14✨
BUT, flight 14 will still be orbital🔥
Elon Musk just described Optimus 3 as a person wearing a robot suit.
That's not a joke. It's a warning.
22 degrees of freedom in each hand. Double the last generation. Tesla moved the actuators out of the palm and into the forearm, running cable-tendons down through the wrist. Same architecture as a human arm.
Result: a hand that lifts 40 lb and still won't crush an egg.
Fremont's Model S and Model X lines are already being gutted to make room for it. Gigafactory Texas is being built out for 10,000,000 units a year.
Inside sits the AI5 chip. Tesla's own robotaxi doesn't even get that yet.
Musk's price target is $30,000. Run it for 10 years, 20 hours a day, and the math comes out to 43 cents an hour.
Add power. Add upkeep. Still under $1 an hour.
A human costs more than that just to show up.
Elon Musk on the Starship roadmap:
“Starship V3 is aimed at doing 100 tons to orbit with full reusability”
“Then Starship V4.....we’re aiming for over 200 tons per mission and being able to launch every hour”
That changes the entire space industry
From occasional launches → to airline-like operations
From kilograms to orbit → to hundreds of tonnes per mission
SpaceX is building the infrastructure for a future with massive satellite deployments, orbital industry, lunar bases and eventually Mars-scale logistics
🚨 Elon: Starship upper stage catch likely in a few months
• Elon says SpaceX will probably catch the Starship upper stage with the tower arms in a few months
• Flight 13 landing was precise enough that it would have been caught if a tower had been at sea
• First reflight of a flown Starship expected by end of 2026 or early 2027
• Catching both stages at the launch site removes the need for ocean recovery
This is the next real step toward rapid reuse.
The booster catch is already routine.
Doing the same with the ship closes the loop so both stages return to the pad for quick turnaround.
Elon called the first reflight a fork in the road for making life multiplanetary.
The timeline he just gave puts that milestone within reach this year or early next.
"demonstrating a deorbit burn for upcoming orbital missions"
Very vague wording here, surely if Flight 14 was going to orbit they'd say "for our next flight, which will be orbital" or something along those lines...
