“@flcnhvy @DJSnM @Erdayastronaut @KevinKling12 @spaceXcentric You know destination weather before departure & there’s no weather in space”

“@flcnhvy @DJSnM @Erdayastronaut @KevinKling12 @spaceXcentric Everything happens so fast. It’s such a different paradigm that applying aircraft concepts to rockets is almost like applying shipping concepts to aircraft. Travels 10,000 km in 30 mins.”

“@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.”

“@Erdayastronaut @DJSnM @KevinKling12 @spaceXcentric Raptor turbines can spin up extremely fast. We take it easy on the test stand, but that’s not indicative of capability.”

“@Erdayastronaut @KevinKling12 @DJSnM @spaceXcentric Over time, 355 & 385 are possible, but very difficult”

“@SpaceXFan97 @Erdayastronaut @KevinKling12 @DJSnM @spaceXcentric Most likely”

“@Erdayastronaut @KevinKling12 @DJSnM @spaceXcentric Sea level Raptor’s vacuum Isp is ~350 sec, but ~380 sec with larger vacuum-optimized nozzle”

“@JaneidyEve @flcnhvy @Freiraum77 @SpaceX Aiming for 20km flight in Oct & orbit attempt shortly thereafter. Starship update will be on Sept 28th, anniversary of SpaceX reaching orbit. Starship Mk 1 will be fully assembled by that time.”

“@flcnhvy @Freiraum77 @SpaceX Probably 2 to 3 months. We’re about to ship Raptor SN 10.”

“@Freiraum77 @SpaceX Probably 18m for next gen system”

“@justpaulinelol @SpaceX Can’t believe it’s been 6 years since our first vertical landing!”

“@SpaceX Core body diameter is 9m/30ft”

“One day Starship will land on the rusty sands of Mars https://t.co/EfENYVdOzM”

“Congrats SpaceX team!! https://t.co/duckYSK0D4”

“Dragon Crew Arm. Astronauts will walk this gantry to enter Dragon & depart for the @Space_Station. https://t.co/rKkUTeHson”

“@MemesOfMars @cleantechnica Hopefully next year”

“@Erdayastronaut @SpaceX It’s quite robust”

“@Erdayastronaut @SpaceX Yes, last flight for Hopper. If all goes well, it will become a vertical test stand for Raptor.”

“Looks like @SpaceX Starhopper flight may be as soon as Monday. FAA support is much appreciated!”

“@justpaulinelol Not risky imo & can be adjusted/improved real-time. Essentially need to figure out most effective way to convert mass to energy, as Mars is slightly too far from this solar system’s fusion reactor (the sun).”

“Nuke Mars refers to a continuous stream of very low fallout nuclear fusion explosions above the atmosphere to create artificial suns. Much like our sun, this would not cause Mars to become radioactive.”

“@JaneidyEve Will probably make sense to do this when Starship Mk 1 has 3 Raptors, moving body fins & landing gear installed, which is hopefully mid September”

“@ThePhoenixFlare Trickier than it may seem on Mars, as atmospheric density is 1% that of Earth & gravity is 38%, but doable for localized warming”

“Might make sense to have thousands of solar reflector satellites 🛰 to warm Mars vs artificial suns (tbd)”

“@MemesOfMars @Teslarati @ray4tesla Yeah, would be great to get feedback from Tesla supporters”

“Nuking Mars one T-shirt at a time https://t.co/Kiah2HbxFi https://shop.spacex.com/featured-products/nuke-mars-t-shirt.html”

“Nuke Mars!”

“@JaneidyEve @SpaceX Not yet”

“@EcoHeliGuy @marstronauts @Erdayastronaut Will be needed for sure. Bandwidth, no problem, latency is a challenge 🤣🤣”

“@bluemoondance74 @Erdayastronaut @SpaceX Just spoke with FAA, so hopefully yes”

“@Erdayastronaut @SpaceX Thanks. Starship, which aspires to be fully & immediately reusable in super heavy class, is a truly 🥜🚀. Even though I’m immersed in Starship/Raptor design & build 7 days/week, it still doesn’t feel real.”

“@ajtourville @marstronauts @Erdayastronaut Approx min payload to Mars to nearest order of magnitude, so at $100k/ton, cost would be $100B”

“@marstronauts @Erdayastronaut Between $100B and $10T”

“@Erdayastronaut Amazing work over many years by SpaceX engineering/production/launch teams to get (almost) there”

“@Teslarati Wouldn’t read too much into this. Likely to be fewer F9/FH flights, but possibly an order of magnitude more than these numbers in Starship flights.”

“Rocket fairing falling from space (higher res) https://t.co/sa1j10qAWi”

“Rocket fairing falls from space & is caught by Ms Tree boat https://t.co/nJv0Ry1iKk”

“@HarryStoltz1 @ShorealoneFilms Details coming at Starship update”

“Great progress by Starship Cape team. Started several months behind, but catching up fast. This will be a super fun race to orbit, moon & Mars!”

“Headed to Starship Cape Canaveral build site today”

“@SciGuySpace Yes, detailed review of the first orbital Starship, explaining the pros & cons of each design decision”

“@JaneidyEve @justpaulinelol @EvaFoxU @SpaceX Very convincing! Ok, Boca it is. We should have Starship Mk1 with 3 Raptors almost ready to fly by then.”

“@SIMOZT1 @justpaulinelol @EvaFoxU @SpaceX I would’ve been bankrupt too. Unlikely investors would have funded a second attempt.”

“@justpaulinelol @EvaFoxU @SpaceX Relief”

“@justpaulinelol @EvaFoxU @SpaceX August 24th, either at Cape Canaveral or Boca Chica”

“@EvaFoxU @SpaceX That was our last chance to reach orbit. If it had failed, SpaceX would have died.”

“@DrAlahbabi @Space_Station @SpaceX @NASA @esa @roscosmos @csa_asc @JAXA_en @ISS_CASIS @ISS_Research You’re most welcome!”

“@SciGuySpace Mailing Dragon dock with Space Station is much harder than docking with our own ship for refilling. Not a problem.”

“@Jason Thanks Jason! Super proud to work with such great teams at SpaceX, Tesla, Neuralink and Boring!!”
