CA's Death Valley is #1 again! Tesla hot weather testing was done there. Model S was fine but gas tow truck overheated.

To provide a little perspective on the size of Grasshopper, we added a 6 ft cowboy to the rocket

Thanks! “@ev: Have driven a Tesla Model S 50 miles now. It's clearly the iPhone of cars—by far the best car ever made."

@elonmusk @DanRetz Not trying to be smart here, just wondering how much Co2 does a Falcon 9 launch add?

@elonmusk · Dec 14, 2012
Roughly equivalent to a 747 flight from LA to London (one way).

@ChrisSpoke @elonmusk @DanRetz The only alternative IMHO is R&D into perfecting Hydrogen Fusion.Everything else seems a waste of time/$

That's why I'm a believer in solar power. We have a giant fusion reactor conveniently located in the sky.

It is hard to argue with a thermometer. Global warming is real and accelerating. Wish it wasn't.

@ElonMusk Will your methane rocket engines require very low sulfur fuel to limit coking?
Elon Musk
Elon Musk
@elonmusk · Dec 12, 2012
Relative to kerosene, methane is not prone to coking, but we would run v high purity anyway for max Isp.

@elonmusk @bm_ Elon, we all hope you hang on as long as possible. I would hate to see "the board" do anything with SpaceX
