“@SciGuySpace Starship is clearly not causing harm to the local environment, so this is just common sense. You can’t even tell the difference between a before and after launch photo, except that the rocket is no longer on the launch mount!”

“RT @MarioNawfal: ELON: WE CAUGHT STARSHIP’S BOOSTER WITHOUT THE HELP OF AI “Not bad for humans. No AI was involved in that whatsoever.…”
“@RichardHanania Best to hear it in the words I have used in many interviews over the years. I have not fwiw “volunteered my sperm” 😂 No one at SpaceX has been directed to work on a Mars city. When people have asked to do so, I’ve said we need to focus on getting there first.”
“@Astro_Elliott @LifeboatHQ Once you have rapidly reusable rockets of sufficient size to carry >100 tons of payload, it is not clear that cost per ton to orbit/moon/Mars improves with a larger rocket. Aircraft, for example, have moved away from 747/A380 to 777, which has ~100 tons of payload.”
“@esherifftv True 😂 Biggest rocket of all time by far and the first design capable of colonizing Mars, but public awareness is ironically tiny.”

“@JaneidyEve @justpaulinelol @EvaFoxU @SpaceX Very convincing! Ok, Boca it is. We should have Starship Mk1 with 3 Raptors almost ready to fly by then.”
“@JoelSercel Despite significant growth by our competitors, especially China, SpaceX will probably increase from ~90% of Earth’s total payload to orbit to ~98% in about 24 months due to Starship”
“@Erdayastronaut @sivanithu @tobyliiiiiiiiii @cabral_psyd @imatsb @thesheetztweetz @SciGuySpace @Some1gee @RocketLab @Peter_J_Beck I have great respect for anyone who gets a rocket to orbit! It’s very hard. I’m spending crazy hours on Starship design/production. It is truly an honor to work with such great engineers. SN4 is almost done 😀”

“@peterrhague @Space_Station @SpaceX I think we need to move on from this ancient space station. If necessary, deep space Starship missions with astronauts can fill the gap.”

“@Rothmus Over time, SpaceX will enable anyone to go to space and travel to the moon and Mars”
“@MarioNawfal I’m excited about the future upgrade to Starship that will extend the rocket length and take total thrust to 10,000 tons, which is ~3X Saturn V!”
“RT @cb_doge: For the first time ever, there is a rocket capable of establishing a permanent base on Mars. https://t.co/9oWV8o3rHJ”

“@SamTwits @Erdayastronaut @PPathole @vincent13031925 Long chain hydrocarbons, like kerosene, have excellent volumetric energy density, but what you really want for rockets is best way to bind hydrogen, which is CH4. Also, easy to make & store CH4+O2 from CO2+H2O, which are abundant on Mars.”

“@Erdayastronaut @SpaceX Thanks. Starship, which aspires to be fully & immediately reusable in super heavy class, is a truly 🥜🚀. Even though I’m immersed in Starship/Raptor design & build 7 days/week, it still doesn’t feel real.”
“@Patryn23 @Blobifie It will take them over 5 years to reach Falcon 9 levels of reliability and production/launch rate, by which time SpaceX will have transitioned to Starship and be doing over 100 times the annual payload to orbit of Falcon”

That’s why I’m not super worried about early Starship failures. Initial serial numbers are suboptimal, so would be lawn ornaments if they survived. That said, as lawn ornaments go, they’re pretty sweet …”

“@LifeboatHQ Doubling diameter increases mass 4X, but difficulty of simultaneously building & launching rocket of that size is >>4X. In retrospect, <9m diameter for Starship might have been wise. Current size is ~5200 ton stack mass & ~7500 ton-F thrust, which is more than double Saturn V.”
“@MemesOfMars @Kristennetten @annerajb @flcnhvy @Erdayastronaut @PatrickLac007 @AngelGPonce @Tesla SpaceX thruster package will be subtle. Hidden behind license plate.”
“@Erdayastronaut @teslaownersSV @NASA SpaceX has a lot of experience berthing & now docking with @Space_Station, which is very difficult. Orbital refilling should in theory be easier, since Starships dock with themselves & will be uncrewed at first.”
