“@dauqhx @universal_sci There’s a lot of frozen CO2 & H2O on Mars. Heating the planet will densify the atmosphere. It’s solvable.”

“@universal_sci Perhaps one day there will be an ocean on the northern part of Mars”
“@NASASpaceflight Starship/Super Heavy, which is ~10X mass of Zenit, will mostly launch from ocean spaceports long-term”
“@johnkrausphotos @NASASpaceflight @SpaceX @SuperclusterHQ Starship/Super Heavy is ~10X bigger in mass & volume”
“@WholeMarsBlog It’s quite hard for us to write the software needed to cover basic car functionality, but maybe we could do something of this nature”
“@GeffenAvraham @BryanFlanks @SpellMender @VladKarmon @torybruno @ULAEngineer @SpaceX 👆”
“@WholeMarsBlog @ajtourville @comma_ai @Tesmanian_com Yes”
“@tobyliiiiiiiiii @Erdayastronaut @nextspaceflight We will push for ten flights with Starlink”
“@nextspaceflight Payload reduction due to reusability of booster & fairing is <40% for F9 & recovery & refurb is <10%, so you’re roughly even with 2 flights, definitely ahead with 3”
“@RGVaerialphotos @SpaceX @Erdayastronaut This little spit of dirt will take us to Mars”
“@Erdayastronaut Yeah, Starship will be a tiny dot at 20km. Hard to see with naked eye. We’ll do lots of flights.”
“@Booster_Buddies @NASASpaceflight My button-twiddling makes no sense at all 🤣🤣”
“@WholeMarsBlog 🤣🤣”
“@engineers_feed This is how we make Falcon 9”
“@WholeMarsBlog @alesssj4 Yup”
“@Erdayastronaut @KenKirtland17 @torybruno @ulalaunch @SpaceX @blueorigin @DJSnM @ThePrimalDino Yes, integrated with the tip of the nose”
“@KenKirtland17 @torybruno @ulalaunch @SpaceX @blueorigin @Erdayastronaut @DJSnM @ThePrimalDino Starship fairing will actually have more height than shown here. Dome will be flatter & more of tip is accessible. Usable volume ~1000 cubic meters.”
“@TimFernholz So why is this madness acceptable for Boeing/Lockheed rockets?”
“@TimFernholz Efficiently reusable rockets are all that matter for making life multiplanetary & “space power”. Because their rockets are not reusable, it will become obvious over time that ULA is a complete waste of taxpayer money.”
“@WholeMarsBlog Will be amazing to see it in operation! Biggest casting machine ever made. Will make rear body in a single piece, including crash rails.”
“SN 5 & 6 at Starship Production Complex in Texas https://t.co/8BVRD5VdU7”
“@tobyliiiiiiiiii @Erdayastronaut @queue_max @NASASpaceflight Haha, good catch. Booster will have fixed legs that add ~2m in height.”
“@NASASpaceflight It will look crazy tall with booster & fairing at 122m / 394 ft”
“@FutureJurvetson @SpaceX This seems increasingly likely”
“@TrevorMahlmann @arstechnica V1.1 legs will be ~60% longer. V2.0 legs will be much wider & taller — like Falcon, but capable of landing on unimproved surfaces & auto-leveling.”
“@austinbarnard45 Mars is looking real”
“@Erdayastronaut @SpaceX For sure”
“Congratulations @SpaceX & @NASA on completing first crewed Dragon flight!! 🇺🇸 returned.”
“Dragon is stable in the water”
“4 mins to Dragon loss of signal due to atmospheric entry plasma”
“Astronauts land in 2 hours @NASA @SpaceX”
“@Erdayastronaut @SpaceX However, we did prove that a SuperDraco landing could work by doing a propulsive hover https://t.co/Mr7VFIQwWf https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=07Pm8ZY0XJI”
“@Erdayastronaut @SpaceX All correct. Parachutes were originally the backup landing system, with SuperDraco thrusters as primary. Difficulty of proving thruster landing safety *and* architecture being suboptimal for moon/Mars caused us to change focus to parachutes.”
“@meier1028 @SpaceX @Space_Station @AstroBehnken @Astro_Doug Great game”
“Starship SN5 just completed full duration static fire. 150m hop soon.”
“@WholeMarsBlog @PPathole Yeah. Display will also soon render Teslas specifically as their model & color instead of as a generic sedan/SUV. Has potential for a fun punch buggy sort of game.”
“@GreenDragonBot 😉”
“Almost a decade ago. Original Dragon in background.”
“@WholeMarsBlog Those were the days! 🤣🤣”
“@vincent13031925 @UniversalPics @TomCruise @SpaceX Could be great!”
“Impressive Tianwen-1 Mars rover mission launched by China today https://t.co/FsyA3I0HrU https://www.space.com/amp/china-tianwen-1-mars-mission-launch.html?__twitter_impression=true”
“@WholeMarsBlog Human overseen at first, then fully self-driving”
“@sri_myneni @Erdayastronaut @considercosmos @SpaceX Sound & flame color will be quite different”
“@PPathole We should bring Life to Mars”
“Both fairing halves caught from space by @SpaceX ships!”
“@SpaceX Nice work, SpaceX team!”
“@flcnhvy @AstroBehnken @Astro_Doug @SpaceX Still long way to go. Reuse only matters to degree that it’s rapid & complete.”
“@AstroBehnken @SpaceX @NASA @Space_Station Manufactured only 5 mins from LAX!”
“@BWillOfficial @WholeMarsBlog @neuralink Yes”
“@flcnhvy @SpaceX Small note: latch on post near base is gone & powered Ethernet wire is less obtrusive in production version”
