@MarcusHouse Yep, gotta say this armchair astronaut is more than a little stoked for the beginning of V3. It's going to be epic as production and launches start to go vertical. 🚀🚀🚀💯🤯 🖖

Absolute magic! I'm so excited. 🤯 We have pushed 4 days down the line (not the 19th), but man... this has been an epic week of action already.

@grok @LimitingThe @mattbratt @TeslaBoomerMama My mantra on this is 'You can only give away that which you have.' 🖖

@LimitingThe @mattbratt @TeslaBoomerMama Exactly. Spot on self-diagnosis—takes one to know one, and owning it is the rarest strength here. That's what keeps you sharp instead of just loud. Mirror work like that beats most of the sewage. Keep wielding it.

Amen, it's been bizarre to watch. I can see both sides of the argument, and I find it interesting more than anything. I don't know why either side is so shit scared and horrified by the opposing argument that the only explanation is some deeper nefarious plot... the only solution to which is character assassination rather than logical argument. Feels like I'm in an adult daycare.

@BoosterTribe That's a lot of push to lift a 100T jerrycan to fuel up the moon lander. It's going to be such an exciting year. Starship, Starship, Starship. 🍿🚀🖖

11,000,000+ pound prop load. 🤯🚀

@tjstebbing 🥜🧈4 🇨🇦😂🖖

Purity test 🇦🇺🦘🪃🐨💪

@MarcusHouse Look at the back tire Marcus! 🤯🖖

Ouch. This is why supporting these views is so important. Thanks for everybody that does that by the way. ❤️

@even__pomerleau @lifeatstagezero Nice catch! 🌬️🚙🖖

@lifeatstagezero WTF 😬

Lab Padre/Avid remote cam got blasted. Every window except the windshield imploded. That is some serious over-pressure.

@WhitecapsFC Keep your head in the game lads! 😂🖖

Fine tuning for Saturday 🙂‍↕️💥

@LimitingThe I put my money on Starlink and Falcon following the S & X into the hall of fame once Starship and the data centers are up and running. 🤔🖖

SpaceX is rebuilding the internet in space. This is going to have a massive impact on global access to information and knowledge - human potential unlock.

@BoosterTribe There's deck time and then there is armchair astronaut heaven. 😂🖖

Still looking sexy.

@BoosterTribe @MarcusHouse It's all about moving atoms, man. 😂🖖

@MarcusHouse It’s crazy how it feels in person.

This seems almost ridiculous. The power is absolutely staggering. 🤯

@BoosterTribe Holy crap man, definitely needed a moment to let that sink in. The harmonics of that beast are near pitch perfect. Congrats on having had a hand in making and infusing some of your soul into the first iteration of a stargate! 🚀2🌟 🖖

Tower 2 and Booster 19

@MarcusHouse Those are some pretty clear harmonics. 🎵🎶🎵🎶 🖖

Just look at those shockwaves.

Holy Sh#%balls! That is freaking unreal! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 🔥🔥🔥

@BoosterTribe @SpaceX Food for thought🧐! Hard to fathom exponential imagination. 🤯 One thing I do know, is that where ever they are not, it won't be from a lack of effort!🛠 🖖

@SpaceX was started on this day 24 years ago. Imagine where they will be after 24 more? To Mars.

@FutureAZA Starting to look like the credits Tesla got from the other automakers that helped the Tesla Team make better cars. 🖖

So SpaceXAiX is already bringing in B2B revenue. A lot of AI companies have comically optimistic paths to monetization while xAi is out here getting paid.

@Dacuse22 @SawyerMerritt @grok This is a bit like Tesla being paid by other automakers to make better cars. 🖖

@SawyerMerritt @grok please explain this to me in simple terms. What does this mean for you as well?

SpaceX/xAI has just announced that it has signed an agreement with Anthropic to provide access to its Colossus 1 supercomputer. "Anthropic plans to use this additional compute to directly improve capacity for Claude Pro and Claude Max subscribers. As part of this agreement, Anthropic also expressed interest in partnering to develop multiple gigawatts of orbital AI compute capacity. The compute required to train and operate the next generation of these systems is outpacing what terrestrial power, land, and cooling can deliver on the timelines that matter. Built from the ground up in record time, Colossus delivers unprecedented scale for AI training, fine-tuning, inference, and high-performance computing workloads. Colossus 1 features over 220,000 NVIDIA GPUs, including dense deployments of H100, H200, and next-generation GB200 accelerators. The cluster delivers extreme parallel performance for large language models, multimodal systems, scientific simulations, and generative AI at frontier scale. SpaceX is the only organization with the launch cadence, mass-to-orbit economics, and constellation operations experience to make orbital compute a near-term engineering program rather than a research concept. If engineering challenges can be overcome, space-based compute offers near-limitless sustainable power with less impact on Earth." I think this is smart for SpaceX/xAI, as it seems to have some excess capacity as Colossus, so why not make a some money on the side by renting that compute capacity out. I think we'll see some more similar partnerships soon.

@LimitingThe It takes a lot of trust in yourself and the team around you to live your life in a shell of 'Integrity' while facing the risks of a truly inhospitable environment. 🙏🖖

So few people are unwilling to tell the truth in high consequence circumstances because they put off telling the truth in low consequence circumstances. It's a muscle you have to practice. If there aren't enough people in a society doing that and taking the flak, society descends into hell. It frustrates the hell out of me that most of society is riding on the coattails of people who are willing to take those slings and arrows. If everybody developed some testicular fortitude, we wouldn't just avoid catastrophe, we would rise to great things.

@FutureAZA I like the word 'thunk', cause you know, Tesla thunk about it then did it.🤣🖖

I don't think "magical" is quite the right word, but it's the best one I can come up with. Check out this official footage of Tesla's Lithium Refinery.

@OliviaStalvey Yep, that was such a fun week, looking forward to A3! But in the mean time and in between time. Star factory is just starting to hit the groove pumping out ships and boosters. Going to be an epic summer and fall of launches. Love to see your interpretation of them. ❤🚀🎨🖖

Take me backkkkkkkk!!!! Artemis II was so damn epic. (Painting available on my website!)

@FutureAZA Thunk you 🖖🤣

Now that's a clever idea.

May the 4th be with you campers. Get up join the resistance and kick some Empire ass in what ever form it may appear in. 🖖😁
