“@flcnhvy If we build as many Starships as Falcons, so ~100 vehicles & each does 100 tons to orbit, that’s a capacity of 10 million tons of payload to orbit per year”
“@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.”

“@FalconGridFin @SpaceX Intentionally so”
“@SidewalkSciGuy @SpacexFan9876 @Erdayastronaut @Sloppy93 @annerajb @flcnhvy @austinbarnard45 Falcon rocket booster is aluminum-lithium & carbon fiber, which have low max temperature allowables. Super Heavy booster is stainless steel. Since it only goes to around Mach 8 or 9, moreover at high altitude, it needs no heat shield, not even paint.”
“@flcnhvy @Erdayastronaut @DiscoverMag Annoying that @ULA perpetuates myth that Delta IV Heavy or Atlas V can do some orbits that Falcon Heavy can’t. This is absolutely false. FH would have to go full expendable for GEO direct, but that’s very rare.”
“First test of the Falcon 9-R (reusable) ignition system. Not long now before the hold down fire http://t.co/5r5nJWaNrI”
“@doug_ellison @dsfpspacefl1ght Found the source of the problem. The NASA database has the Falcon Block 1 performance. Version currently in production and set to fly in a few months is Block 5. SpaceX GNC team is submitting updated numbers.”

“@annerajb No, it’s the first or boost stage, analogous to, but much larger than Falcon 9”
“@lister6520 @justpaulinelol @MattLBates @Erdayastronaut You’re touching on a good critique of Falcon 9. Our 1st stage to 2nd stage propellant ratio is too high. We’re fixing that with Starship.”

“@Kristennetten @SmileSimplify @Erdayastronaut We’re focusing on Boca right now for Starship & Cape is focused on Falcon/Dragon”
“Falcon/Dragon launch punted to early Jan. Need time to review all systems thoroughly again.”
“@lorengrush @T28058389 @VP @blueorigin @ulalaunch @SpaceX @Erdayastronaut @SciGuySpace Strange though. Delta IV Heavy has half the payload of Falcon Heavy and the BO rocket doesn’t exist yet.”
“RT @TurkeyBeaver: Falcon launch #160 of 2025”
“Falcon 9 delivered Dragon to its target orbit. All good on the rocket.”
“Falcon 9 launch window is Sunday and Monday, assuming good weather at Vandenberg Air Force Base”
