Ecological paradise plans from south portion of Giga Texas to river look great, however we must first get the factory financially on its feet

I wasn't aware that you were into art. Have you messed around with AI art, like StableDiffusion? It's pretty staggering....

Given that the school district is based around the Brooklyn area of Pretoria, doesn't that say quite a bit on its own?
Come on, let's not pretend that it wasn't considered a prestigious school. Or that the average South African during the Apartheid era went to a school like it.
Elon Musk
@elonmusk · Sep 21, 2022
Boys High was a good school, but it was government, not private. Brooklyn would be considered a middle income, not exclusive, neighborhood in America.

I want to make clear, I'm defending, not attacking you here. But surely you can admit that if you had grown up as a poor black child in the townships, without access to books or computers (or the ability to move to Canada), your odds of success would have been much lower.

Errol ran out of money in the 90’s. My brother & I financially supported him & his extended family in South Africa since then on condition that he not do bad things. Unfortunately, he did do bad things :(

and having access to computers, books, a father with an engineering background (though Elon despised him as evil), etc - plus the ability to seek Canadian citizenship due to his mother - gave him the background and opportunities that the average person just didn't have.

It's semantics. The school in question is Pretoria Boys High School, which is a prestigious, semi-private, tuition-charging school.
I think it's pretty difficult to argue that the average South African under Apartheid was able to attend a school like this.
Elon Musk
@elonmusk · Sep 21, 2022
Incorrect. There was tuition for students from outside the school district, which was a small part of the student body, incl black students, but not for students in district, which I was.
Also, I was there for 2.5 years, previously attending govt schools for 9 of 12 years.

The thing is, there would be a good conversation to have here about the nature of privilege. Did Elon have privileges that, say, the average black South African living in a township didn't? *Absolutely*. And going to private school (despite him being veritably tortured there)...
Elon Musk
@elonmusk · Sep 21, 2022
I went to government schools, not private, except for part of one year in third grade

Not to get ahead of ourselves, but do you have an estimate for the first booster at 39A?
Pending Roberts Road, or can you ship vehicles from Starbase (which some people say isn't possible).
Elon Musk
@elonmusk · Sep 21, 2022
Probably Q2 next year, with vehicles initially transferred by boat from Port of Brownsville to the Cape

So booster 7 will be first to fly? (hopefully)
Elon Musk
@elonmusk · Sep 21, 2022
That’s the plan. We’re taking a little risk there, as engine isolation was done as retrofit, so not as good as on Booster 9.

Late next month maybe, but November seems highly likely. We will have two boosters & ships ready for orbital flight by then, with full stack production at roughly one every two months.

Booster 7 completed its latest round of testing and Booster 8 was rolled to the Launch Site. Meanwhile, the B7.1 test tank was rolled back to the Production Site.

Our focus is on reliability upgrades for flight on Booster 7 and completing Booster 9, which has many design changes, especially for full engine RUD isolation.
