The less code, the better! 1 point for adding a line of code, but 2 points for deleting a line. Bloatware is the devil.

Also, I hate deeply nested classes in C++. Had to be said.

@elonmusk can you say how many million lines of code go into a Tesla Model 3?

It’d be so cool if Tesla motors were powerful enough to spin start! Have you moved onto direct drive / electromechanical on the body flaps with motors yet or still spinning a pump for SN1?
Elon Musk
Elon Musk
@elonmusk · 30 дек. 2019 г.
Direct drive using several Tesla Plaid motors in parallel for SN1. Simpler, lighter & more fault tolerant. Rear flaps each need ~1.5 megawatts. It’s like moving the entire wing of an aircraft!

Have you heard of solid-state ultrasonic welding?
Elon Musk
Elon Musk
@elonmusk · 30 дек. 2019 г.
Tesla uses that to wirebond cells to module current collectors. Is there a commercially available machine that can weld ~4mm full hard 301 stainless barrels & domes?

We’re focusing on Boca right now for Starship & Cape is focused on Falcon/Dragon

Woah... I just realized... will there really be any COPVs on Starship once you move on from cold gas thrusters? Is there helium spin start for raptor or is it bootstrapped?
Elon Musk
Elon Musk
@elonmusk · 30 дек. 2019 г.
Spin start from COPVs so the ox & fuel turbines spool up super fast in unison. A precise start with full flow staged combustion is very important.

Will SpaceX keep manufacturing Starship (and, presumably, Super Heavy too) out in the open, or do you foresee eventually moving production into (the industry norm) cleanrooms?
Elon Musk
Elon Musk
@elonmusk · 30 дек. 2019 г.
Moving to an enclosed (fairly) clean room environment for SN2 in Jan, although, unlike aluminum, stainless steel welding is not super sensitive. Our main issue here in Boca is that it can get very windy, which affects weld arc & steel melt pool.

Speaking of autogenous, when will we see autogenous pressurization on Starship? I assume the first couple will still utilize helium COPVs like StarHopper?
Elon Musk
Elon Musk
@elonmusk · 30 дек. 2019 г.
No, will be autogenous from the start, tapping hot CH4 & O2 from Raptor

Almost everything is different. These parts are stamped vs manually bump-formed & TIP TIG welded vs flux core. Higher precision, stronger joints & 20% mass reduction.

Best would probably be an autogenous laser weld, but we need more precise parts & fixtures. Hopefully get that done in 2020.

Is there any substantial difference in welding / manufacturing techniques between these bulk heads and and MK-1 / MK-2? Also, LOL 😂

Really curious as to what you think of the explosive hydro forming process that was used for the Saturn V bulkheads.

Elon Musk
@elonmusk · 30 дек. 2019 г.
We use that process for the Raptor nozzle jacket. The knuckles of this dome are stamped in Michigan with a 4000 ton car body press, which costs much less for same outcome.

When will we see a propellant based pod landing rather than parachute? Is there a reason parachute is better?
Elon Musk
Elon Musk
@elonmusk · 30 дек. 2019 г.
Crew Dragon is capable of propulsive landing, but would require extensive testing to prove safety. Better to focus on Starship.

Crew Dragon should be physically ready & at the Cape in Feb, but completing all safety reviews will probably take a few more months
