Elon, how much does that part of the launch table weigh?

— ⚡️Tesla Owners Online (@Model3Owners) July 31, 2021

Yes

— Elon Musk (@elonmusk) July 31, 2021

Indeed. Grid fin designs clearly work, but do they maximize payload? Good chance that they do not.

Something with much more drag to reduce terminal velocity & so reduce landing propellant might have better performance. Not sure.

Potential future optimization.

— Elon Musk (@elonmusk) July 31, 2021

Any payload for the Orbital attempt?

— Erc X (@ErcXspace) July 31, 2021

Well this was fun. Got a little footage to go through here…. Stay tuned 😉 thanks for the hangs @elonmusk pic.twitter.com/hFOce1XcK6
