Now that Hopper has flown, Starship update probably in two weeks or so.

@Erdayastronaut @goathobbit Thin tiles on windward side of ship & nothing on leeward or anywhere on booster looks like lightest option

@Erdayastronaut @goathobbit Testing a possible Starship windward side ceramic tile. Maximizing emissivity is best for conductive/particle heating. Nice thing about steel is that tiles can be very thin, unlike carbon fiber or aluminum airframe.

@justpaulinelol @annerajb @highlyaaronic Probably have slots for up to 37 engines, but can decontent as needed. Starship update after Hopper hover.

@annerajb @highlyaaronic Orbital refilling is critical for high payload to moon or Mars. Initially just Starship to Starship, later dedicated tankers.

@joe_mckirdy @13ericralph31 @JHC2718 @StephanieeeeeJ 100mT to 125mT for true useful load to useful orbit (eg Starlink mission), including propellant reserves. 150mT for reference payload compared to other rockets. This is in fully reusable config. About double in fully expendable config, which is hopefully never.

@bluemoondance74 @Erdayastronaut @justpaulinelol @mayemusk @SpaceX Overall successful. Aborted at T+51 sec on high mixture ratio, but we were intentionally probing the corners of the box of operating conditions, so not surprising.

@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.

@SptlightVids @SpaceX Yes, but we couldn’t take a chance on 2nd stage failing it’s 4th maneuver. This mission was more complex than anything I’m aware of in history of rockets. RIP center core, you did your duty well.

@SpaceXUpdates @Erdayastronaut High payload/delta-V missions will always be far downrange. Value of boost stage is measured (essentially) by *horizontal* velocity imparted to upper stage. Altitude is almost unimportant.
