Even the toilet brush comes with detailed assembly and recycling instructions... and you can call IKEA in case you have any doubts! 😀

On Friday, I went to IKEA and bought a few essential things. We're still missing fridge, washing machine, drier, microwave, and a lot of other stuff...

This week I got the keys to my new apartment. It's 6 minutes drive from work (or 11 minutes by bicycle), and I'm sharing with two other SpaceXers.

Here is my room:

Bashing One Laptop Per Child is easy: it first set unrealistic expectations and then executed very poorly... And yet, no one else has ever come close to giving ~2.5 million computers to children in developing countries. Today it would be so much easier!

In memory of Sir Clive Sinclair, learn about the incredibly clever cost-saving design of the #ZX80, one of the cheapest home computers ever made:

Anyone knows an offline #C64 image converter? It's for... work.

The #C64 image converter no longer works for me:

Perhaps it's because now browsers require https to upload files? Tested on both Firefox and Chrome...

I see what you did there, #neovim! #python #math 🤦‍♂️

The startup I co-founded in Italy is celebrating its 20th anniversary!

wow, the author of bashtop is getting more pro with every rewrite: Bash -> Python -> C++:

The next stage of evolution will presumably be #Rust? 🤔

Since childhood, I've been dreaming of piloting a giant starship.

This #Starship will be a fully autonomous vehicle, piloted by software written by my team and many others. Reality beats imagination.

Ok, we won't have laser guns for now...

Many thought that propulsively landing a rocket booster was impossible. Now Falcon 9 does it routinely.

Full vehicle reusability is the next big milestone, and was thought to be impossible. Hopefully #Starship will demonstrate it soon.

Reusability it's the key to making space exploration affordable.

This is why so many space enthusiasts are flocking to Boca Chica to witness and document this historic milestone:

Now I can watch them with more telemetry, and higher stakes. The next time a Starship craters on the landing pad, it could be due to a bug in my firmware. Finally, my work will have a big... impact! 💥

It won't come as a surprise to those who know me well: for years, I've been watching countless Falcon 9 launches and Starship test flights as if they were some sort of sporting event.

Today was my first day at #SpaceX. where I will develop avionics firmware for #Starship and other vehicles. 🚀
