@elonmusk Will B7 have to be unmounted for repairs?

@LovingWildlyfe All while SpaceX conducts more space launches than any other national or corporate entity at the lowest cost per kg.

Efficiency + more money spent on space = more opportunities to do great things in space

4/x

[SPEXcast @SPEXcast]

@LovingWildlyfe These private fundraising rounds are actually increasing the total space budget. Rather than just relying on government funding, private investors and now consumers are helping support SpaceX development.

@ElonMuskNewsOrg Stop reposting year old content as current news

[SPEXcast @SPEXcast]

@SciGuySpace Virgin Galactic killed three people and there are still ongoing safety concerns that overshadow their commercial operations from whistleblowers

@brian_henderson @jeff_foust @CNES @SpaceX Falcon Heavy offers significant increases in payload mass. SpaceX has demonstrated multiple orbit launch profiles from KSC and Vandenberg supports polar launches as well.

This issue is fundamentally political. Arianespace exists to launch European rockets, not American rockets.

[SPEXcast @SPEXcast]

@jeff_foust @brian_henderson @CNES @SpaceX Why bring the rocket and launchpad to the payload when the payload can be brought to KSC...

[SPEXcast @SPEXcast]

@DJSnM @ID_AA_Carmack I saw an example of this on TikTok.
