Falcon Heavy is vertical at pad 39A in Florida ahead of Sunday’s launch of @NASA’s Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope, designed to study dark energy, exoplanets, and astrophysics → https://t.co/oacS4jED83
The bigger story behind these launches is the science they enable. Better weather data, deeper space exploration, and a clearer picture of how our universe came to be. That’s the real impact.
Falcon Heavy sent Psyche toward a metal-rich asteroid, Europa Clipper to Jupiter’s Moon, and GOES-U into transfer orbit to improve NOAA’s weather forecasting. Falcon 9 launched NASA’s PACE mission to study Earth’s ocean and atmosphere and SPHEREx to map the history of the universe. The Falcon family has enabled NASA to reach farther and explore more of the universe, and missions like Roman continue that work
SpaceX engineers spent several days inspecting Ship 40 in the waters off Christmas Island. They collected heatshield samples and gained vital insight into how the vehicle handled reentry with improvements now planned on future vehicles
In 2022, we produced & delivered 1.3M+ vehicles 💪
In Q4 we achieved our highest-ever quarterly revenue, operating income & net income → https://t.co/6WkUryAhKO
Perhaps lost in the transport debate is that @boringcompany built a 6000 ft tunnel in LA for ~$10M with V1 (Godot). Next tunnel will be made with V2 (Line-Storm). V3 (Prufrock), aspirationally 10X better, should be operational next year. For reference: https://t.co/LS4EhN57Mw
