Rocket launch good, satellite in geo transfer orbit. Still so damn intense. Looking fwd to it feeling normal one day.

Worth watching @ExMachinaMovie. The AI would be in the network, not the robot, but otherwise good.

@elonmusk Roadster owners are getting restless. Any status update on battery/distance upgrade?
Elon Musk
@elonmusk · Apr 23, 2015
New Roadster battery should complete safety validation by end of July, so likely available in August

Cause of hard rocket landing confirmed as due to slower than expected throttle valve response. Next attempt in 2 months.

While the rocket does look rather tall & tippy, a stable landing is no problem with proper throttle response

@elonmusk do you invest? Under serious inquiry?
Elon Musk
@elonmusk · Apr 18, 2015
I only invest in companies I help found or to help a friend or a cause (no return expected for latter two)

If this works, I'm treating myself to a volcano lair. It's time.

Droneship is fine. No hull breach and repairs are minor. Impact overpressure is closer to a fast fire than an explosion.

Ok, looks like we got some killer footage from the chase plane. Big ocean, small ship. Posting vid shortly

Looks like Falcon landed fine, but excess lateral velocity caused it to tip over post landing

Ascent successful. Dragon enroute to Space Station. Rocket landed on droneship, but too hard for survival.

Launch window always tight when orbital synch needed. In this case, Space Station. For Earth-Sun gravity null point, moon was in the way.

Odds of rocket landing successfully today are still less than 50%. The 80% figure by end of year is only bcs many launches ahead.

Have asked SolarCity if we can do something philanthropic with the CA aqueducts to help the water crisis. Investigating…

We debated this, but there really is $10k gas saved by most owners over 5 yrs (avg ownership period). Since it's true, we are sticking w it.
