“@Erdayastronaut @JeromeJaccard @Robotbeat @alan1bernard Stainless steel is correct, but different mixture of alloys & new architecture. Unlike Atlas, Starship is buckling stable on launchpad even when unpressurized.”

“@WholeMarsBlog Exactly”
“@Everman SpaceX will prob build 30 to 40 rocket cores for ~300 missions over 5 years. Then BFR takes over & Falcon retires. Goal of BFR is to enable anyone to move to moon, Mars & eventually outer planets.”
“@WholeMarsBlog But when did they start vs when did we form the humanoid robotics team at Tesla?”
“RT @Starlink: Stay connected in even the most rural and remote environments with Starlink 🛰️🛻”
“@nextspaceflight @Erdayastronaut @flcnhvy @austinbarnard45 Working on regulatory approval for both Boca Chica, Texas, and Cape Kennedy, Florida. Will also be building Starship & Super Heavy simultaneously in both locations.”
“@flcnhvy @Inzilya777 @archillect Direct links aren’t needed to offer service. Starlink will initially bounce signals off ground/ocean relays to get from 🛰 to 🛰.”
“@WholeMarsBlog What a scumbag”
“RT @HalcyonHypnotic: Flight 5: “We’ve removed tiles from the heat shield of starship, so don’t be surprised if explodes” > ship survives…”
“RT @teslaownersSV: Starship the first ever designed rocket to get us to Mars. https://t.co/bRgAvw7NM8”
“Odds of rocket landing successfully today are still less than 50%. The 80% figure by end of year is only bcs many launches ahead.”
“@ajtourville @Starlink We now have enough satellites that exact orientation is less important, as the probability that a satellite is directly overhead is very high”
“@JaneidyEve We’re now building flight design of Starship SN1, but each SN will have at least minor improvements, at least through SN20 or so of Starship V1.0.”
“@blueskykites @WholeMarsBlog @DirtyTesLa @brandonee916 @DBurkland @BLKMDL3 @TacosandTeslas @TeslaJoy @tesla_raj @TesLatino @BeardedTesla Hydrogen is so dumb for cars”
“@WholeMarsBlog Hey @TheBabylonBee, you some competition with @WSJ 🤣🤣”
“RT @_GiantLeap: West Point Entrance, Valles Marineris Underground Colony, Mars https://t.co/J7fcPy2s8h”
“@teslaownersSV @SpaceX Two decades ago”
“RT @Starlink: Starlink provides reliable high-speed internet to even the most rural locations 🛰️🐎”
“@spacesudoer It’s often some aspiring academic who couldn’t build a working rocket if you put a gun to their head lol”
“@flcnhvy The economics have to be something like that to build a self-sustaining city on Mars”
“@cb_doge @WholeMarsBlog Occasionally”
“RT @PettitFrontier: A view of the ISS from SpaceX Dragon. Amazing that videos like this can exist so casually on social media. https://t…”
“@BrendanCarrFCC @kdamica @paulg Starlink significantly exceeds all the FCC requirements”
“RT @amXFreeze: Starship is so amazing that sometimes it’s hard to believe how true it is https://t.co/io6I51Oc7X”
“@lrocket Definitely for super high pressure tanks, but a stainless steel Starship is roughly similar in mass to a carbon fiber version (which is where we started out) and way cheaper/easier to make. Stainless gets that massive bump in strength at cryo and needs much less shielding for…”
“@katlinegrey Reusability is essential. A rocket that is single use is just as absurd as a single use airplane. F9 engines already fire 3 times per flight.”
“@ID_AA_Carmack Hydrogen in cars make zero sense. Its best case use is rockets and, even then, it loses to methane imo.”
“RT @MarioNawfal: Starlink just passed 10 million users worldwide. What began as rural internet now connects entire countries without groun…”

“@ashleevance @SpaceX Cool”
“@HarryStoltz1 In solving for a good Mars climate, we will learn a great deal about how to do so on Earth. It is the inverse problem.”
“@WholeMarsBlog 🎯”
“@teslaownersSV @SpaceX I wish we did”
“RT @Starlink: Starlink is built to deliver reliable, high-speed internet with strong connectivity through harsh weather conditions, network…”
“@SciGuySpace Starship can also be used to create a large, permanently crewed Moon Base Alpha research station”
“@dpoddolphinpro @SpaceX @NASA Dragon was always designed to land propulsively, but I didn’t want to risk it as the primary method”
“@buildingMadrid We don’t use patents, except to block patent trolls, so others are free to copy us. SpaceX is building the technology to extend consciousness beyond Earth, so the cost per ton to orbit & beyond must necessarily be low enough to accomplish that goal.”
“@WholeMarsBlog 😂”
“@WholeMarsBlog This is messed up”
“RT @RW_SRILANKA: I thank @elonmusk for enabling Starlink satellite internet access for all Sri Lankans. This marks a significant step forwa…”
“@annerajb Texas and Florida Starship prototypes (not Hopper) fly in 2 to 3 months”
“@Tesla__Mania @WholeMarsBlog That is probably the right order of magnitude”
“@BrianRoemmele @SpaceX Just use a rocket engine. The limiting factor will be not killing the human with the jerk rate. Wheels are optional.”
“@WholeMarsBlog Yeah”
“RT @Starlink: Starlink's reliable high-speed internet connects remote parts of the world to vital telemedicine 🛰️🩺”
“@WholeMarsBlog Oh the irony is just too much”
“@saschasegan @AlecStapp Utterly false. Starlink has excess capacity in low population density areas that are extremely hard to serve by fiber, which is what this money is supposed to solve.”
“@SpacePadreIsle @SpaceX Wow, it’s been 5 years since we started at Boca!”
