“@JaneidyEve You’re welcome! Was a fun recruiting event. Great to see all the excitement about helping build Starships.”

“@TheTeslaBull @BLKMDL3 @S3XYstarship @IWill_Travel @AOC Based on past experience, about 12 to 18 months. Companies that are inherently negative cash flow (ie value destroyers) need to die, so that they stop consuming resources.”

“@S3XYstarship @SawyerMerritt I work. Yes, I am testing Starlink on the plane. Some polishing needed, but it’s working quite well.”

“@flcnhvy Starship steel decision came first. We were going to use titanium skins for Cybertruck, but cold-rolled 30X stainless is much stronger.”

“@DimaZeniuk Starship will launch over 10,000 satellites every year”

“@S3XYstarship @ACTBrigitte He’s fine, I guess. Does seem like he’s spending a lot of time in the hot tub these days. If he wants to get to orbit, less partying and more work would be advisable.”

“@aakashgupta Starship V4 Tanker version will deliver >200 tons of propellant per flight, so more like 5 or 6 tanker flights to refill the lunar transit Starship in orbit. Shouldn’t be too much of a problem if we’re doing >10k flights/year.”

“@SawyerMerritt Cybertrucks get preferential parking, as they look much more futuristic than normal cars and are poetically aligned with the stainless steel of Starship”

“RT @teslaownersSV: Starship will make us multi planetary https://t.co/S9bgLgRsh5”

“RT @teslaownersSV: The starship is the largest flying object ever made, and it was able to be caught by chopsticks https://t.co/iMkJAWGsOz”

“@justpaulinelol Maybe on Starship? It’s def got the payload capacity …”

“@Erdayastronaut @inspiration4x Yeah. We’d use our Ka parabolics or laser links for Dragon, Starship or other spacecraft as soon as they got above cloud level.”

“@Erdayastronaut @Caspar_Stanley No, bottom static aero pushes engine section back, counteracting Starship’s low center of mass on reentry caused by the engine section. Aiming for 60 to 70 deg angle of attack during high heating portion of flight. Don’t want to reenter with engines blasted by plasma.”

“@DannyLaShep With steel membrane wings like a Dragon, we may be able to lower Starship’s orbital reentry temp to ~1000 degrees C, which would allow the whole surface to be uncooled bare metal”

“@kevinrose @Starlink And it will improve significantly when Starship starts launching the third generation satellites at 350km altitude (5 ms speed of light round trip latency) with larger antennas that allow for multi-gigabit bandwidth”

“@teslaownersSV Starship V4 will have 42 engines when 3 more Raptors are added to a significantly longer ship. That will fly in 2027. Starship V3 is a massive upgrade from the current V2 and should be through production and testing by end of year, with heavy flight activity next year.”

“@YunTaTsai1 Yes. In about 6 or 7 years, there will be days where Starship launches more than 24 times in 24 hours.”

“@grzf_ Starship is kinda Gundam”

“@DJSnM We could stretch the Falcon Heavy upper stage & increase this a lot, but FH already covers all known payloads. Starship, especially with orbital refilling & dedicated deep space variants (no heatshield, flaps or header tanks) will take this up orders of magnitude.”

“@NASASpaceflight Starship/Super Heavy, which is ~10X mass of Zenit, will mostly launch from ocean spaceports long-term”

“@S3XYstarship @PPathole @Gfilche @MadeInTheUSANJ Yeah, although I hesitate to admit that, because there are a lot of people that foam at the mouth if you even mention his name!”

“@PeterDiamandis Let’s get Starship V3 flying repeatedly and then sure”

“RT @teslaownersSV: The scale of the Starship is insane and 🤯🤯🤯 https://t.co/6k9Ky0ZPMZ”

“@MarcusHouse The next stage of the Starship program should be called The Two Towers”

“@Adamklotz_ @BryceSpaceTech Starlink missions will move to Starship”

“@TeslaHype @GailAlfarATX Starship is intended to carry a lot of people on tens of thousands of flights, so needs to be extremely reliable over time. It will be.”

“@StarshipGazer This launch mount is not easy to build”

“@GailAlfarATX Starship has 33 engines! If an engine failure is isolated, then many engines greatly increases reliability (Starship only loses <3% of thrust). If not, then reliability is terrible. The difference is at least 2 orders of magnitude.”

“@NASASpaceflight Starship is a hard problem”

“@Cmdr_Hadfield @astroscale_HQ We could make a hungry hippo version of Starship to chomp and deorbit space debris”

“RT @cb_doge: All 10 Starship Launches Starship 1: Apr 20, 2023 Starship 2: Nov 18, 2023 Starship 3: Mar 14, 2024 Starship 4: Jun 6, 2024 S…”

“@kimbal Starship can enable a permanently crewed science station on the Moon, which would be super cool! Moonbase Alpha!!”

“RT @cb_doge: Incredible view of Earth from Starship. https://t.co/2wzTVA12Wt”

“@cnunezimages A super reliable, light, reusable heat shield is the biggest technical challenge remaining for Starship”

“@teslaownersSV Starship probably grows by >20% long-term”

“RT @spacesudoer: Starship fully stacked for Flight 9. Launch NET May 27. https://t.co/GdM6aljIRU”

“@GailAlfarATX @SawyerMerritt Wow, working on this problem has soaked up a lot of my time & brain cycles over the past ~7 years! This and Starship engines are currently the two hardest problems.”

“RT @teslaownersSV: Starship will make us multi planetary https://t.co/lFxQuHLWjV”

“@rmcentush Starship could deliver 100GW/year to high Earth orbit within 4 to 5 years if we can solve the other parts of the equation. 100TW/year is possible from a lunar base producing solar-powered AI satellites locally and accelerating them to escape velocity with a mass driver.”

“@RationalEtienne @Erdayastronaut @Twisi80 Starship is literally more pointy because of that movie haha”

“@ajtourville The main reason for coming in belly first is due to the subsonic orientation being a natural outcome of the center of mass and center of pressure being where they are needed for Starship to survive hypersonic heating by maintaining a ~70 degree angle of attack. Can’t come in…”

“@spacesudoer Shana is awesome. Many years ago, I asked her to lead the early VTOL development of Falcon (aka Grasshopper) and she did great work. Now, Shana is a senior member of the Starship engineering team.”

“RT @SawyerMerritt: Elon Musk just made a surprise appearance on tonight’s Starship livestream: https://t.co/UFFqofrdwO”

“@S3XYstarship @slashdot DoJ Antitrust @JusticeATR”

“@SciGuySpace His plan makes no sense. Just a worse version of Apollo. Starship will enable a permanently occupied moon base and even a city on the moon one day.”

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

“@tetsuoai Starlink V3 launches with Starship will carry 25 to 50 times more bandwidth than a Falcon flight with V2, depending on how you count it. Starship will also launch 100+ times more per year than Falcon (mostly AI sats). Probably ~20k comms satellites per year at ~2 tons/sat. High”

“@MarcusHouseGame @bcart03 @nextspaceflight @NASASpaceflight Starship legs are one of the hardest problems. Externally mounted legs require shielding, which adds mass. Wider stance adds mass. Shock absorbers add mass. That said, we need better legs.”

“@Matt_Lowne Forward flaps will change a lot in upcoming versions of Starship – smaller & more leeward”

“@Erdayastronaut @tobyliiiiiiiiii @austinbarnard45 @SuperclusterHQ I’m in Boca every week, so maybe we could talk then. Given that Starship is not exactly subtle, this is more of a design clarification to match what people can already see.”
