“@nextspaceflight @Erdayastronaut Static fire & short flights with SN3, longer flights with SN4, but spooling up the whole Starship/Raptor production line is really what matters”
“Rocket will land in highest winds ever at Cape Canaveral tonight. This is intentional envelope expansion.”
“Final Dragon Version 1 mission tonight”
“@Teslarati No matter what, we need to pressurize the production system. Rocket design is relatively easy, making one is hard, making many is extremely hard. Manufacturing is underrated.”
“@Universe_SkyArt @TwitterSupport I just sent a note to Twitter to clarify that posting SpaceX videos is fine by us and we paid for rights to Bowie song for the Falcon Heavy launch”
“@SpaceX Testing Raptor in vertical configuration (on the giant tripod) should allow us to simplify some aspects of the engine design”
“@JaneidyEve @JakeTheHuman28 @tesla_truth @Twitter Posting SpaceX videos is definitely not copyright infringement!”
“Starship SN1 tank preparing for Raptor attachment & static fire https://t.co/jx0ijLrxWx”
“Battle Angel Starship https://t.co/CL4rvBB8mb”
“@flcnhvy @SciGuySpace F9 iteration slowed down as payloads became too important to risk. Little change is expected going forward with F9/FH or Dragon. Starship production & thus iterative improvement will be much faster than Falcon. Driving hard for fully reusable orbital flight this year!”
“@SciGuySpace These problems are fundamentally intertwined. Building many rockets allows for successive approximation. Progress in any given technology is simply # of iterations * progress between iterations.”
“@sydney_ev Attach wheels to the landing legs & tow Starship to the launch pad”
“High bay for stacking Starship engine bay, propellant tanks & fairing (fka nosecone) sections is almost done! https://t.co/G9h0430ns2”
“Rocket nosecone production in Texas https://t.co/KLWewja9Gn”
“@flcnhvy @Inzilya777 @archillect Direct links aren’t needed to offer service. Starlink will initially bounce signals off ground/ocean relays to get from 🛰 to 🛰.”
“@archillect Sorry, probably going to be a lot of rocket pics from @archillect 🤣🤣”
“@Erdayastronaut @robert_zubrin Unfortunately, Starship unlikely to survive LEO entry intact without shielding on windward side, but none required on leeward. Even windward shielding is very light.”
“@yourfavgas Probably 6 months or so. 301 is certainly fine for orbit, but SpaceX 30X will be better.”
“Midsection of Starship propellant tanks https://t.co/Aa8yKPJEFS”
“Mars is to Earth, as Terminus was to Trantor”
“@RationalEtienne @JedIKni64072970 @archillect @OpenAI @austinbarnard45 @SpaceX Ok”
“@JaneidyEve You’re welcome! Was a fun recruiting event. Great to see all the excitement about helping build Starships.”
“@Teslarati @13ericralph31 Unmodified water tower machines do not work well for orbital rockets, as mass efficiency is critical for the latter, but not the former. Hopper, for example, was made of 12.5mm steel vs 4mm for SN1 orbital design. Optimized skins will be <2mm in places across a 9000mm diameter.”
“@Teslarati This isn’t quite correct. An orbital rocket needs precision that’s 3X to 4X better than a water tower, so super precise parts, fixtures & welding are needed. Suborbital is much more forgiving.”
“SpaceX started with a mariachi band party. Great vibes here in Boca Chica, Texas!”
“@Erdayastronaut @vincent13031925 We saw them a lot launching from Kwajalein in the early days of SpaceX”
“@Mike_Seeley @WeReportSpace @SpaceX Great shot”
“Please send your resume to BuildStarship@spacex.com if you’re coming to the Starship career day in Boca Chica tomorrow”
“Starship Concerto in Zero G https://t.co/gkn05I1bvZ”
“Starship career day at the Stargate building (Boca Chica Blvd, TX) this Thursday from 3pm to 9pm!”
“Going max hardcore on design/production Starship here in Boca. It’s awesome! Feels a bit like a Mars simulator.”
“@John_Gardi Not needed, but will be very useful on Mars due to light speed latency”
“@Erdayastronaut @Blamblas @latimes @SpaceX @blueorigin Exactly. Mars propellant production will combine atmospheric CO2 & water (ice) to make CH4 (methane) & O2. Will do same on Earth long-term. Short-term, each Falcon flight uses roughly same fuel mass as a 747 flight. Falcon is ~71% oxygen & Starship is ~78%, so mostly not fuel.”
“@SciGuySpace If all goes well, Falcon 9 will achieve triple digits this year”
“The stars in Starship’s mirrored hull reflected”
“@HarryStoltz1 @Erdayastronaut @SpaceX First two domes of SN1 are almost complete”
“Starship 9m test tank made 7.5 bar at room temp! Small leak at a weld doubler. Will be repaired & retested at cryo. https://t.co/Bz3lrwkYRU”
“@SciGuySpace We should have a base on the moon, a city on Mars”
“@JaneidyEve Yeah, we just finished two more propellant domes. SpaceX team & supporting suppliers are doing amazing work ramping Starship production.”
“@TJ_Cooney @SpaceX Nice shot”
“@SpaceX Dragon trunk from in-flight abort test is in surprisingly good shape! https://t.co/IGeffiNh9A”
“@JimBridenstine @NASA @SpaceX @Commercial_Crew Thanks on behalf of the @SpaceX team! Thank you also for the support @NASA has provided over the years, without which this would not have happened.”
“Dragon high altitude, supersonic abort test is a risky mission, as it’s pushing the envelope in so many ways”
“Dragon Spacecraft supersonic abort test coming up either tomorrow or Sunday, depending on weather @NASA @SpaceX”
“@Erdayastronaut @SPEXcast @SciGuySpace Even more important for a a reusable rocket, as cost of propellant actually becomes relevant & anything below T/W of 1 is wasted fuel & oxygen”
“@jameslin123321 @Erdayastronaut Loading the Mars fleet into Earth orbit, then 1000 ships depart over ~30 days every 26 months. Battlestar Galactica …”
“@Kristennetten @PicklePunchD @Erdayastronaut Yes. There will be a lot of jobs on Mars!”
“@EcoHeliGuy @Erdayastronaut Yeah. A lot of work is needed for propellant production on Mars.”
“@Erdayastronaut Building 100 Starships/year gets to 1000 in 10 years or 100 megatons/year or maybe around 100k people per Earth-Mars orbital sync”
