Standing down from today's launch of Starlink to allow additional time for mission assurance work; will announce next launch opportunity once confirmed on the Range

Just a small-seeming issue with loss of upper stage camera. Probably nothing serious, but standing down to re-examine whole vehicle just in case.

Worldwide beta soon ?

@elonmusk · Oct 22, 2020
As soon as we complete testing & regulators approve. So many different traffic signs, rules & languages around world, not to mention driving on left side of road! Also, a long & challenging road lies ahead getting to high 9’s reliability (way beyond human).

The future is now! Once the car starts to understand the correct paths to take, Dojo will into play & teach the car how to properly interact and cooperate with human drivers using massive pile of unlabelled video clips that'll end up in a reliable predictive model 🤯

Not intentional! We just wanted to show that you could theoretically convert the entire US vehicle fleet to electric using only the lithium in Nevada, a single state. Tesla will do lithium mining only as needed. We also found a way to extract lithium using NaCl (table salt).

The nose cone is looking great! It’s still using cold gas thrusters for now right? Any updates on the hot gas RCS? On what version might we see those get installed?

Cold gas for now, hot later

Raptor has now run for 90 secs at 300 bar chamber pressure before encountering issues. 210 mT-F sea level operating thrust seems achievable with no major changes.
R-Boost variant is aiming for 300 ton thrust at 300 bar with same nozzle exit area. Will need bigger pumps.

Those are some impressive numbers! R-Boost sound incredible!!! But what’s currently running developmentally on SN5/6/8 is a little lower bad right? More like 270 bar and 1.66 MN? Although I’m sure future versions will start running at higher pressures soon 👍
Elon Musk
@elonmusk · Oct 21, 2020
Those engines could go 300 bar, but would be dicey. Pushing it for near-term tests doesn’t achieve anything, but I’m confident Raptor will do 300 bar for orbital flights.

Forget thrust to weight ratio! One key metric for Starship / SuperHeavy that's vital is thrust to area ratio!!! Raptor is currently at 270-ish bar & 1.66 mN for SN5/6/8. It's slightly below Merlin, but once ramped up to operational levels, it can easily match and exceed Merlin!

I think everyone should learn from Sweden's hybrid implementation.
Have all high risk individuals *lockdown* hardcore. Let the rest live normally like Sweden. This would allow us to focus resources better, hospitals, nursing homes etc while getting it over with quickly.
Elon Musk
@elonmusk · Oct 19, 2020
Yes. We also have to consider population life-months lost from lockdowns & other restrictions vs life-months lost from any given disease.
