Don't tell me it's not a good idea ? Or else prove it beyond a shadow of a doubt.
Anyway, I asked Grok for a water-filled nuclear power plant cooling tower wide enough to land Starship inside.
No more need for sea landings, less logistics, and a return to the launch site.
One to throw, another one nearby for the return @SpaceX
This with more water :
- Mechanical guidance: the rocket descends perfectly smoothly, as if inside a tube; alignment is forced, and the risk of tipping over becomes virtually zero.
- Maximum thermal contact: the water progressively envelops the lower, middle, and even a significant portion of the upper section of Starship.
- Containment of steam and plume: everything remains confined within the cylinder; there is no uncontrolled lateral spray.
- Closed-loop system: the water is filtered, cooled, and reused in a closed circuit → zero marine pollution, zero loss.
@_melgibson1_ I’m a bit like Saint Thomas… I believe what I see. Right now I’m still waiting to get rich enough to shout it from the rooftops without looking like a hypocrite. But that march? Hard to ignore
Je suis dans un merdier monumental. Le genre de merdier qui te fait revoir toute ta vie défiler en accéléré.
La journée était parfaite.
Soleil, chaleur, sortie en famille, rires, glaces, tout le monde de bonne humeur.
On rentre tranquillement en voiture, content, détendu…Puis elle pose LA question.
Celle qui fait basculer un homme en une seconde. Tu sais quel jour on est aujourd’hui ?
Le silence qui suit est assourdissant. Mon cerveau fait un scan d’urgence.
Anniversaire d’un enfant ? Non.
Fête des pères ? Non.
Anniversaire de quelqu’un ? Non…
Et là, le coup de massue : Aujourd’hui, on fête nos 14 ans de mariage.
Je suis un homme mort. Assis au volant, le sourire figé, en train de calculer mentalement combien de temps il me reste avant l’exécution.
Alors… vous feriez quoi à ma place ?
@elonmusk When the company pushing the hardest on the frontiers of AI and space chooses you exclusively, that says everything.
Nvidia just got the ultimate validation
Reconnaître le rôle de la génétique n’est pas du déterminisme.
C’est simplement refuser de construire des politiques sur des mensonges.
La science doit guider, pas l’idéologie
Des data centers en orbite avec les mêmes puces que ceux sur Terre.
L’efficacité énergétique et la scalabilité viennent de l’espace.
On assiste en direct à la naissance d’une nouvelle infrastructure mondiale
SpaceX is partnering with @Nvidia to design the Starmind AI1 satellite compute payload.
Each of the Starmind satellites will include NVIDIA Rubin GPUs and Vera CPUs for datacenter class space compute → https://t.co/4MOQv0DvTQ
+92 % de chiffre d’affaires, Starship qui avance, Starlink qui double, et maintenant l’IA spatiale.
SpaceX ne se contente plus de dominer le spatial.
Ils sont en train de redéfinir ce qu’est une entreprise technologique au XXIe siècle.
Impressionnant
We posted our second quarter 2026 financial and operational results → https://t.co/YCRzq6gSV3
Q2 highlights:
- Demonstrated the power of extreme vertical integration, delivering revenue growth of 92% year-over-year across Space, Connectivity, and AI
- Completed two successful Starship V3 flight tests in the past 90 days, advancing towards full and rapid reusability
- Closed multiple industry-leading Cloud Services Agreements resulting in $14.1 billion of contracted sales
- Announced agreement to acquire Cursor for $60 billion to accelerate the AI enterprise opportunity
- Released our most powerful AI model yet with Grok 4.5 in July
- Delivered 66% revenue and 79% income from operations growth year-over-year for the Connectivity segment, driven by a doubling of Starlink Subscribers and continued momentum in Enterprise & Government
- Awarded over $6 billion in multi-year U.S. government contracts for Starshield
As compared to the same quarter last year:
- Revenues of $7.8 billion, up 92% from $4.1 billion
- Net loss of $541 million, an improvement of $467 million from net loss of $1.0 billion
- Adjusted EBITDA of $3.5 billion, up 191% from $1.2 billion
Thank you to the SpaceX team, and all our customers and investors for a great quarter!
@MORANDAlexandr5@brivael La cocaïne et les stimulants en général : amphétamines, MDMA… provoque une mydriase. C'est les opioïdes (héroïne, morphine, etc.) qui provoquent un myosis.
@elonmusk@cremieuxrecueil The data has been clear for decades.
Ignoring genetics doesn’t make the problem disappear, it just makes solutions impossible
@SpaceX Historic moment.
First earnings call since “going public”… even if the details are still fuzzy.
Whatever happens, one thing is clear : SpaceX is playing a completely different game from every other company on Earth
@elonmusk Space compute becoming ground compute.
Same design, higher efficiency, no solar panels needed. This is how you leapfrog the entire data center industry in one move.
Most companies optimize the present.
SpaceX is redesigning the future
@elonmusk Academia has inverted its entire moral compass.
Truth is now optional. Skin color is mandatory.
Integrity is the real minority view. Gad is simply describing the obvious. Elon agreeing makes it impossible to ignore
