“@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.”
“For the first time, there is a rocket that can make all life multiplanetary. A fork in the road of human destiny. https://t.co/qBZL0tW9EY”
“The rocket came back from space at hypersonic speed and then hovered at a precise position [@AdrianDittmann] The booster hovering above the ocean looks incredible”

“Yes [@DimaZeniuk] After about 4 billion years, we are finally able to reach Mars. Let’s not miss this chance”
“At ~5000 tons, Starship is the largest flying object ever made”
“Starship is the most power flying object ever created. Currently over twice the thrust of Saturn V and, with future upgrades, three times the thrust (10,000 tons of force).”
“Only 66 years from first flight to landing on the moon, but now half a century has passed since the last moon landing. That cannot be our high water mark as a civilization. Humanity should have a moon base, cities on Mars and be out there among the stars!”
“Starship launch attempt in ~7 hours”
“Pictures of people working inside Starship [@spacesudoer] Starship is gigantic!”
“And now it is time for America to reach far greater heights by sending astronauts to Mars! Ultimately, anyone who wants to be a space traveler and help build a new civilization on Mars should be able to do so. That is an inspiring future!”

“Welcome to Mars https://t.co/cyvEEVRD7L”
“Prelude to Mars”
“Wow, they really don’t get it. Mars is critical to the long-term survival of consciousness. Also, I’m not going to ask any venture capitalists for money. I realize that it makes no sense as an investment. That’s why I’m gathering resources.”
“Getting ready for Starship Flight 6!”
