@bolayer @SwiftOnSecurity US is ~11 deaths per billion miles. WW is 17 deaths per billion. Autopilot already much better than either so far.

@c4757p @SwiftOnSecurity Unless we get there and find it isn't enough. Just won't be before 1B.
|
|
@FantaAIex It is extensively tested in the lab and in the Tesla test fleet. However, there is no substitute for real world experience.
|
|
@SwiftOnSecurity With less than 1B miles, there simply isn't enough data. 1B is a necessary but not necessarily sufficient condition.

Fast replay of today's rocket landing on SpaceX droneship OCISLY\nhttps://t.co/I0QQ2D3BtE
|
|
@dfjsteve Very similar. The crush core in the Falcon legs is reusable after soft landings, but needs to be replaced after hard.
|
|
Crush core is aluminum honeycomb for energy absorption in the telescoping actuator. Easy to replace (if Falcon makes it back to port).
|
|
Rocket landing speed was close to design max & used up contingency crush core, hence back & forth motion. Prob ok, but some risk of tipping.
|
|
Satellite deployed to 91,000 km apogee. All looks good.
|
|

@SpaceX There was a tiny glitch in the motion of an upper stage engine actuator. Probably not a flight risk, but still worth investigating.

@jlgolson No prob. We care about doing what's fair & just. Don't always get it right, but intent is always there & we make amends when wrong
|
|
@jlgolson Per the letter, Tesla paid $55/hr for *additional* services, so no.
|
|
@jlgolson Yes, but it is false of Merc News to say that Tesla took advantage of low cost labor. We paid $55/hr. That is unequivocal.
|
|
We still need to make sure that the injured person is taken care of, but less & less of the Merc story appears to be true
|
|
Merc News story about Tesla using $5/hr labor seems to be missing a digit. Tesla actually paid $55/hr. https://t.co/2dTH0ncdKX

@joshuapinter @juliusvolz Full height of Falcon 9 boost stage on legs is ~165 ft

Falcon Heavy side boosters can use most of the same airframe as Falcon 9, but center core needs to be buffed up a lot for transfer loads.

Falcon Heavy thrust will be 5.1M lbf at liftoff -- twice any rocket currently flying. It's a beast...
|
|
F9 thrust at liftoff will be raised to 1.71M lbf later this year. It is capable of 1.9M lbf in flight.
|
|
@elonmusk F9 LEO payload on capabilities page (correct figure on main page) should be 22,800 kg
|
|
@lukealization No cross feed. It would help performance, but is not needed for these numbers.
|
|
@lukealization No physical changes to the engine. This thrust increase is based on delta qual tests. It is just tougher than we thought.
|
|
@elonmusk Max performance numbers are for expendable launches. Subtract 30% to 40% for reusable booster payload.
|
|
@mattyteare Basically current, but higher throttle setting. Good performance of recent launches allows us to reduce 3 sigma reserve margin.

@Benzinga I didn't take anyone's car and never would. Car was actually allocated to engineering test (not by me) and inadvertently sold.

@stunt_penguin @LayOn_OverWhale Stage 1 would reach low Earth orbit if not hefting a second stage, but payload would be greatly reduced.
|
|
@JimmyVosika Actually, didn't get environmental approval in time, but it was also good practice for missions where a ship is needed.
|
|
If speed at stage separation > ~6000 km/hr. With a ship, no need to zero out lateral velocity, so can stage at up to ~9000 km/h.
|
|
Ship landings are not needed for flexibility or to save fuel costs. Just not physically possible to return to launch site
|
|
As mentioned before, ship landings are needed for high velocity missions. Altitude & distance don't mean much for orbit. All about speed.
|
|

Well, at least the pieces were bigger this time! Won't be last RUD, but am optimistic about upcoming ship landing. https://t.co/w007TccANJ
|
|
@Uncle_Gus probably
|
|
However, that was not what prevented it being good. Touchdown speed was ok, but a leg lockout didn't latch, so it tipped over after landing.
|
|
Definitely harder to land on a ship. Similar to an aircraft carrier vs land: much smaller target area, that's also translating & rotating.

Right move is try both tunnels and flying cars. Otherwise, having 2D streets and 3D buildings means bad traffic forever.

Reasons I like tunnels: you still travel in 3D fast, but immune to weather, quiet and no risk cars fall on your head
|
|
Flying car pros: travel in 3D fast. Cons: risk of car falling on head much greater, noisy, grounded in bad weather

The flight grid fins look like the ones on this test we did, but larger: https://t.co/gTaURQQeyx
|
|
@ID_AA_Carmack No choice. Entry velocity too high for a precision landing with N2 thrusters alone. Must have aero surfaces for pitch trim.
|
|
@John_Gardi Using legs as air brakes to drop terminal velocity in half requires slight redesign & more data. Maybe flight 21.
|
|
Grid fins are stowed on ascent and then deploy on reentry for 'x-wing' style control. Each fin moves independently for pitch/yaw/roll.
|

Base is 300 ft by 100 ft, with wings that extend width to 170 ft. Will allow refuel & rocket flyback in future.

The gas generator is a small rocket engine that powers the turbopump, which produces 7000 horsepower & weighs 160 lbs
|
|
Engines are cycling cleanly w ground pneumatics. Replaced gas generator on engine 9 (center) as a precautionary measure.
|
|
Abort was caused by oxygen in ground side TEA-TEB. Upper stage on separate internal circuit, so doesn't face same risk.
|
|
Rocket engines are healthy, but cleaning turbopump gas generators will take another day. Aiming for Mon eve launch.
|
|
@WilliamShatner Will do. Probably at least a few days. Depends on whether we need to pull the turbopumps.
|
|
We called manual abort. Better to be paranoid and wrong. Bringing rocket down to borescope engines ...
|
|
If launch aborts, we will bring the rocket down for engine inspection, so probably a few days before next attempt
|
|
Increasing helium spin start pressure. Probably <50% chance of passing all aborts, but worth a try. Countdown resuming ...
|

Launch aborted by autosequence due to slower than expected thrust ramp. Seems ok on closer inspection. Cycling countdown.

Yeah, climate change should really be considered a centrist issue, as it affects everyone.

Am not suggesting shutting down CO2 production, but rather to price in environmental cost & shift to sustainable energy
|

Even if the answer is only on the order of 1%, we should still take immediate action, as there is only one atmosphere.
|
|
Right question to ask Dyson or others: what is probability that human actions could cause catastrophic climate change?

|
|
Technically, I 'got rich' from Zip2 & PayPal w zero govt anything, then put 100% of that into SpaceX, Tesla & SolarCity.
|
|
If consumption is low, then the tax is proportionately low. We should prob not have tax on basic foods & critical meds.
|
|
@ponder68 Carbon produced by a @SpaceX rocket flight is roughly equal to one 747 flight. No, we should not be exempt.
|
|
Net of gas savings, a Tesla is $550 to $600/month with down payment taken care of by tax credits. Maybe less costly then it first seems.
|
|
Yes, am arguing against subsidies and in favor of a tax on the end bad created. Market will then achieve best solution.
|
|
Trees are net consumers of CO2, so technically we would pay them money :)
|
|
Exactly. Seems crazy to risk the CO2 chemical experiment when we have to find another solution anyway.
|
|
Big difference between taxing people and taxing purchases (ie consumption). Much better to emphasize the latter.
|
|
@MaxMBerger The collective wisdom of the market is usually (not always) better than the smartest govt regulator.
|
|
Me & other private money funded Tesla for first 7 years, got IPO+ govt money for 3, now paid back. Yes, carbon tax would be a better way.
|
|
@grayj_ There should be a constitutional amendment to redo the tax code every ten years, just like we do a census.
|
|
Weight of scientific evidence. Taxes don't ban a purchase, they just increase cost. Am against bans, except in extreme cases.
|
|
Exactly. Better to tax known bad thing and incent desired outcome, instead of subsidizing particular solution paths. Let market decide.
|
|
Perhaps. I am in favor of fair, simple taxes that are neutral on most things, incent good & disincent bad.

Model S Performance powertrain produced so much torque today that we broke the dyno. 4.4 sec 0-60 mph will not be a problem.

Just finished Massie's book on Catherine. An amazingly expansive and compelling portrait of an incredible woman. Highly recommend.

@om Respectfully disagree. Larry made awesome moves last year, which laid the foundation for G+ to kick butt in 2012. He's a stud.

I said *information* weapons for a reason. The bit is mightier than the bomb.

If we are not careful, we will find that knife against liberty's neck. Fate has a great sense of irony. http://t.co/OQ2u1zHQ

We built powerful information weapons to fight enemies of liberty. Now those enemies are largely defeated, but the weapons remain.

@FareedZakaria However, China's real estate crisis will explode in a way that makes ours look puny. They can't hide it for much longer.
|
|
@FareedZakaria Yeah, 2012 will be great for the American economy & jobs, as we've mostly dealt with the overbuilt housing crisis.

My first prediction of 2012 has come true: ouch, my head hurts.

World violence being super low is probably counter-intuitive to most people. That's because modern media is a misery microscope.

Here's a happy thought for 2012: world violence is at an all time historical low. Excellent piece by Stephen Pinker http://t.co/gv4MLfQe

Not that this really matters. All current rocket tech, including ours, sucks. Only when it becomes fully reusable, will it not suck.

SpaceX has Boeing, Lockheed, Europe (Ariane) and Russia (Proton/Soyuz) near checkmate in rocket technology. End game is all about China.

I'm just saying that u shouldn't pass judgment based on one night of passion. Sometimes things just happen and u go with the moment :)

Sew one button, doesn't make u a tailor; cook one meal, doesn't make u a chef; but f* one horse and u r a horsef*er for all of history...

Am reading Robert Massie's book on Catherine the Great. Yeah, I know what you're probably thinking ... did she really f* a horse?

@om Cool personal essay. It really resonated with me, as I felt the same way after coming very close to dying from malaria ten years ago.
