The SpaceX regulatory team is known in the industry for being both wicked smart AND absolutely savage in their comments.

This is a perfect example

[Starlink @Starlink]

Starlink is built to deliver reliable high-speed internet, even when a customer’s view of the sky isn’t perfect.

Starlink terminals automatically switch between satellites in real time to address any degradation in the link → https://t.co/NRzPcVgpDi

NEWS: SpaceX says a new @Starlink update means that the internet will keep working even if trees or other obstacles partially block your home’s view of the sky.

"As a Starlink terminal communicates with satellites overhead, it continuously builds a real-time obstruction map, allowing Starlink to dynamically understand its environment. With this information, it can proactively select the best and most stable connection. For dynamic obstructions, such as are encountered by mobile terminals, the system reactively switches in less than 1/10th of a second, allowing a connection to remain stable. The dynamic nature of Starlink combined with the many paths for the system to route traffic provide a high degree of resiliency in obstructed and changing environments.

Additionally, to help customers get the most out of their service, the Starlink app includes a built-in tool to preview the install location and guide customers to the best placement with the fewest obstructions. After setup, the Starlink app provides a live obstruction map that shows exactly where signal blockages are occurring and how they may affect your experience, so that users can make informed decisions about optimizing their installation. Starlink also measures uptime 10 times a second from every terminal, transparently reporting any outage that is longer than 1/10th of a second in the app. For well-installed, even partially obstructed terminals, this uptime is typically at the 99.9% level."

When reliable broadband is a priority. Really important update here about how @Starlink routes around obstacles. The fastest, least expensive way to connect people, even through tree cover. https://t.co/c23t9ojekz

[Elon Musk @elonmusk]

Starlink is now available in 140 countries & territories!

And, of course, anywhere on the oceans.

[Caleb Henry @ChenrySpace]

Spent some time reading through Starlink's 2024 gateway filings with the FCC and noticed someone at SpaceX has been getting away with slipping in some rather humorous nicknames for these locations, like the "StressX" and "The fr fr" gateways.

[SpaceX @SpaceX]

Thousands of distinct vehicle and pad criteria had to be met prior to catching the Super Heavy booster. Thanks to the tireless work of SpaceX engineers, we succeeded with catch on our first attempt.

[Brendan Carr @BrendanCarrFCC]

Great to spend time with @SpaceX’s talented & hardworking teams today.

Their bold and innovative efforts are opening up new opportunities for our economy and humanity.

And, by the way, there’s nothing like seeing a Starship in person. 🚀

Super Heavy has splashed down in the Gulf of Mexico

[Laura Mills @lkkmills]

Go Starship and Starlink!! 🚀🛰️

[Elon Musk @elonmusk]

Watch the super hot plasma field grow as Starship re-enters the atmosphere!

[SpaceX @SpaceX]

The third flight test of Starship could launch as soon as March 14, pending regulatory approval → https://t.co/bJFjLCiTbK

Due to personal reasons, I am evil now

[OpenAI @OpenAI]

We have reached an agreement in principle for Sam Altman to return to OpenAI as CEO with a new initial board of Bret Taylor (Chair), Larry Summers, and Adam D'Angelo.

We are collaborating to figure out the details. Thank you so much for your patience through this.

Amazing work by DSSD-Madison! @dssdglobal

Last week, DSSD Madison’s president, Jack Blake, presented at @UWMadison’s annual Sustainability Symposium to get the word out about its recent dashboard for student org Helios!

How can the legal field disrupt itself and move away from "intellectual isolationism"? Thank you to Ben Kingsley for mapping out a human-centric approach to #legaltech, as well as the benefits and trade-offs of innovating in the legal sector. #TechPol22w8

[Kamiar Mohaddes @KamiarMohaddes]

Absolute pleasure to have Ben Kingsley visiting us @CambridgeJBS today to discuss radical evolution through a lens of tradition - #innovation in the #legal sector. #TechPol22w8
