“Now that Hopper has flown, Starship update probably in two weeks or so.”
“Starship SN4 passed static fire”
“@Teslarati We’re going to try landing Starship on the moon with enough propellant to return to Earth”
“@SpacePadreIsle Starship is coming together!”
“Headed to Starship Cape Canaveral build site today”
“@NICKIMINAJ Starships were meant to fly 🚀”
“@arstechnica @SciGuySpace Starship will enable a quantum leap in deep space & planetary science”
“Ten Starships can produce a terawatt”
“~20m up & sideways for first flight. Mk1 Starship hopefully 20km up in a few months.”
“@Teslarati @RDAnglePhoto First orbital stack of Starship should be ready for flight in a few weeks, pending only regulatory approval”
“@TerminalCount The Starships feast in Valhalla!”
“Bottom half of Starship at night. Top half with forward fins & header tanks probably stacks on Wednesday. Three Raptors already installed. https://t.co/haq3m1V1Wm”
“@BassonBrain It will get really nutty when Starship is launching every hour in 3 years”
“@SawyerMerritt Starship and Starlink V3 will be a major step change”
“@JohnnaCrider1 @stats_feed In the coming years, Boring Co will attempt to build a working Hyperloop. From a known physics standpoint, this is the fastest possible way of getting from one city center to another for distances less than ~2000 miles. Starship is faster for longer journeys.”
“Getting ready for flight of orbit-class Starship design”
“@wapodavenport 16 flights is extremely unlikely. Starship payload to orbit is ~150 tons , so max of 8 to fill 1200 ton tanks of lunar Starship. Without flaps & heat shield, Starship is much lighter. Lunar landing legs don’t add much (1/6 gravity). May only need 1/2 full, ie 4 tanker flights.”
“Starship Hopper will do vertical flight tests similar to the Falcon 9 Hopper https://t.co/5dCrGFqymR http://youtu.be/NoxiK7K28PU”
“@thesheetztweetz @QuiltyAnalytics First Starship orbital flight will be with Raptor 2 engines, as they are much more capable & reliable. 230 ton or ~500k lb thrust at sea level. We’ll have 39 flightworthy engines built by next month, then another month to integrate, so hopefully May for orbital flight test.”
“@BLKMDL3 @S3XYstarship @IWill_Travel @AOC Yes, but this is actually a good thing. It has been raining money on fools for too long. Some bankruptcies need to happen. Also, all the Covid stay-at-home stuff has tricked people into thinking that you don’t actually need to work hard. Rude awakening inbound!”
“@RenataKonkoly Maybe we should make an actual Starship model that dispenses pez for our merch store”
“@DogecoinRise Starship Super Heavy”
“With the version 3 Starlink satellites, which start launching on Starship in 6 to 9 months, we should be able to get latency below 20ms. The new, much larger satellites will be at ~350km instead of ~550km altitude, which cuts latency due to speed of light down to ~5ms. Also,”
“@JessePeltan For anything to do with engineering and science for sure, but Imperial has a certain romantic charm for civilian use. I set a more intuitive variant of metric for Starship: tons for force and mass, bar for pressure. It’s easier to do mental math, eg thrust to mass ratio, than”
“@ChrisG_NSF We are proceeding very carefully. If there is a RUD on the pad, Starship progress will be set back by ~6 months.”
“@SirineAti @mn_google Starship will be ready to fly next month. I was in the high bay & mega bay late last night reviewing progress.”
“@teslaownersSV The Starship V4 ship will have 3 more vacuum engines, making the total stack engine count 42, as foretold in the prophecy”
“@Teslarati The source info is incorrect. Starship & Raptor development is being done out of our HQ in Hawthorne, CA. We are building the Starship prototypes locally at our launch site in Texas, as their size makes them very difficult to transport.”
“@MarcusHouse Starship will enable humanity to become a multiplanet species”
“@austinbarnard45 Weld esthetics will improve greatly in upcoming Starships”
“@cb_doge Crazy that Starship is real!”
“@ApoStructura In about 3 years or so, Starship will launch more than once per hour”
“@REQNews Yes, we can fly Starship around space & chomp up debris with the moving fairing door”
“@Erdayastronaut Everyday Astronaut is a great account to follow for Starship and space matters in general”
“@aaronburnett Starship will profoundly affect the destiny of humanity”
“@alifarhat79 @alx Couldn’t sleep last night because of Starship launch”
“@SirineAti @mn_google We will have a second Starship stack ready to fly in August and then monthly thereafter”
“@austinbarnard45 Starship SN6 flew asimilar hop to SN5, but it was a much smoother & faster operation”
“@_opencv_ It’s all part of broader vision/strategy 😂 Starship 10 is launching on Sunday. Grok 5 begins training next month. Tesla Autopilot V14 also next month. Long-term strategy is compelling.”
“RT @cb_doge: 🚨 BREAKING: Elon Musk watching the Starship 9 test flight from the control center. https://t.co/eldff8EdMX”
“@Teslarati @13ericralph31 @StarshipGazer As backdrops go, this is a good one”
“@thesheetztweetz Work needed between flights is less & less, as shown by shortening time between reflights. Required work between flights for Starship & Super Heavy is zero.”
“@NASASpaceflight 39A is hallowed spaceflight ground – no place more deserving of a Starship launch pad! Will have similar, but improved, ground systems & tower to Starbase.”
“@DJSnM Orbital precession takes a long time. With Starship & Starlink V2.0, hopefully we can direct inject to target orbit.”
“@MarioNawfal This Starship is designed to traverse our entire solar system and beyond to the cloud of objects surrounding us. A future Starship, much larger and more advanced, will travel to other star systems.”
“@Erdayastronaut Yeah, Starship will be a tiny dot at 20km. Hard to see with naked eye. We’ll do lots of flights.”
“@Erdayastronaut Starship design goal is 3 flights/day avg rate, so ~1000 flights/year at >100 tons/flight, so every 10 ships yield 1 megaton per year to orbit”
“@Erdayastronaut Starship catch is probably flight 13 to 15, depending on how well V3 flights go”
“@NASASpaceflight @BBCAmos Over time, we might get orbital payload up to ~150 tons with full reusabity. If Starship then launched as an expendable, payload would be ~250 tons. What isn’t obvious from this chart is that Starship/Super Heavy is much denser than Saturn V.”
