“@Robotbeat @John_Gardi @SpaceX This will sound implausible, but I think there’s a path to build Starship / Super Heavy for less than Falcon 9”

“RT @EvaFoxU: The development of SpaceX Starship is privately funded through Starlink. Total revenue that SpaceX will receive from NASA thi…”

“@DJSnM @DanAloni @Kell31213876 @Vadim15258417 @Erdayastronaut @sasor098 @AdamHugo @WayCharMar @fan_of_racing @bkent136 @macodiseas @katlinegrey Advanced, reusable rockets are all we need to become a multiplanet civilization. Once we have a city on Mars, interplanetary travel will create a forcing function for vast improvements in spaceflight.”

“@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…”

“@yishan Space Exploration Technologies will make life multiplanetary, provided that country rivalries do not inhibit this outcome. The Starlink global communications system was built to fund that goal, which is why there is a Mars transfer orbit diagram on the Starlink Internet router.”

“RT @teslaownersSV: Tesla HQ with SpaceX launch pad on Mars 🔥 https://t.co/w2MfIwErT8”

“RT @SciGuySpace: Before Starship, no orbital rocket stage had ever made a soft, vertical landing back on Earth.”

“@Alejandro_DebH @macshlibber @SpaceflightNow Advancing humanity’s understanding of the Universe is a fundamental motivator for SpaceX! Starship can put giant 🔭 in orbit & on moon. With an occluder, could image 🌏 in other star systems.”

“@Robotbeat @justpaulinelol @Teslarati Sure. Have to do it on Mars from beginning. Will ultimately do that on Earth too, so rocket flights will be zero net carbon long-term.”

“@ajtourville @Tesla It was an interesting conversation. Combustion rockets are the best way to get to Mars in the short to medium term. There is perhaps some merit to a fission rocket shuttling between low Earth orbit and low Mars orbit, but chemical rockets are well-suited to getting to orbit,…”

“RT @teslaownersSV: Elon Musk on Starship ”It is the first planet-colonizer class rocket” https://t.co/7v9Lml4Eq3”

“@Erdayastronaut @rmarcilhoo @kimitalvitie @SpaceXNow @ChrisG_NSF @NASASpaceflight Exactly. We’re on the wrong planet for SSTO. No problem on Mars or any of the moons.”

“@aesposito__ @iamgingertrash I’m a fan of Peter, but he is not quite modeling my mind space accurately. Making life multiplanetary on Mars really is about preserving the light of consciousness. There is no political or personal agenda! If someone else was doing it, that would be great, but there isn’t 🤷‍♂️”

“@teslaownersSV @Erdayastronaut Fully reusable orbital rocket, then orbital refilling, then Mars”

“RT @robinren: The Mars vision of @elonmusk really ties all the dots together: reusable rockets, Starlink, solar and energy storage, electri…”

“RT @teslaownersSV: Starship isn’t just a rocket—it’s humanity’s ladder out of Kardashev Type 0.7 and straight toward a Type II civilization…”

“@McMurchie @SPEXcast @Robotbeat @John_Gardi @SpaceX The goodwill of the public is critical to Starship’s success”

“@AstrumMining @SPEXcast @McMurchie @Robotbeat @John_Gardi @SpaceX Moon first, Mars as soon as the planets align”

“@mojosusan @GovStitt @Tesla I love Texas! Starship production complex is in Boca Chica & SpaceX engine development has been in McGregor for almost 18 years.”

“@junshiguancha If they are lucky, it might outperform Falcon in 5 years, by which time SpaceX will be launching Starship”

“@Malcolmmarsman Seems likely that we’ll be able to reuse fairings that soft-landed in the ocean. May not need net at all. Would still love to see the catch happen though ⚾️ 👍”

“RT @ShanaDiez: We’ve worked through system checkout tests on Booster and Ship and are in final verification work for Starship flight 11. Th…”

“@sivanithu @tobyliiiiiiiiii @cabral_psyd @Erdayastronaut @imatsb @thesheetztweetz @SciGuySpace @Some1gee @RocketLab Some of the small launcher activity is cool, especially @rocketlab. Downsides are helicopter retrieval doesn’t scale to bigger rockets & is highly weather-dependent. Also, propulsive landing is needed for moon/Mars. That said, it’s probably right move for small LEO vehicle.”

“@Malcolmmarsman @bluemoondance74 @SptlightVids @SpaceX Ok, thanks”

“RT @teslaownersSV: Starship booster produces as much thrust as 66 Boeing 747s. 🤯 https://t.co/lVcbWODK8e”

“@John_Gardi @w0lfyxD @Robotbeat @SpaceX Starship & Super Heavy will press tanks autogenously even in version 1. Very important, as helium costs more than oxygen on Falcon, even though liquid oxygen is 2/3 vehicle mass & helium weighs basically nothing.”

“@MemesOfMars @kimitalvitie @SpaceX Center 7 engines gimbal to 15 degrees”

“RT @cb_doge: Imagine a SpaceX spacecraft en route to Mars. 💫✨ https://t.co/A46F89HuLW”

“@RenataKonkoly @lrocket Yeah, game-changer! We do still use COPVs for a few things on Starship, like nitrogen purge and engine spin start.”

“34th launch & landing of the same rocket [@SpaceX] Falcon 9’s fleet leader booster completes its 34th launch and landing”

“@martinengwicht @macodiseas @katlinegrey Exactly. That’s the critical point for Starship/BFR: more payload than the biggest rocket ever made, but for less money per launch than the smallest (orbital) rocket. Without something that lowers orbital flight cost by 100X, humanity will never be a multiplanet species.”

“RT @teslaownersSV: Starship booster produces as much thrust as 66 Boeing 747s. 🤯 https://t.co/zQLFZcT9K9”

“@DJSnM @Erdayastronaut @KevinKling12 @spaceXcentric Not currently planning for pad abort with early Starships, but maybe we should. Vac engines would be dual bell & fixed (no gimbal), which means we can stabilize nozzle against hull.”

“@flcnhvy @rogiermaas @SpaceX Focusing on Starship instead”

“@SPEXcast @Erdayastronaut @SpaceX Propellant stays same, but almost everything else improves. Fundamental goal is minimize cost per ton to surface of Mars.”

“RT @dvorahfr: ELON MUSK: "Making life multiplanetary expands the scope & scale of consciousness. Starship is the only way for us to become…”

“@SpceEnthusiast @tjmurphy_mit @thesheetztweetz @ExploreMars @SpaceX @TheeSpaceDude Yeah”

“@_cgp @SpaceX Propellant was not deep cryo. CH4 & O2 were just barely below liquid temp at 1 bar. In theory, Raptor should do ~300 bar at deep cryo, provided everything holds together, which is far from certain. However, only 250 bar is needed for nominal operation of Starship/Super Heavy.”

“@SpaceXFan97 @lister6520 @justpaulinelol @MattLBates @Erdayastronaut Almost anything. Length/diameter is much lower & Starship doesn’t have a hammerhead fairing that acts like main sail.”
