“@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.”

“@SciGuySpace Starship is making good progress”
“@Some1gg Transpiration cooling will be added wherever we see erosion of the shield. Starship needs to be ready to fly again immediately after landing. Zero refurbishment.”
“@austinbarnard45 @SuperclusterHQ Great pics! That we now have the beginnings of a Starship production system is most meaningful.”
“RT @DimaZeniuk: BREAKING: Elon Musk will give a live Starship update on Sunday, covering progress so far and future engineering, production…”
“@MarioNawfal Starship V3 should be capable of close to 200 tons of payload when operating as a tanker”
“@flcnhvy @SciGuySpace F9 iteration slowed down as payloads became too important to risk. Little change is expected going forward with F9/FH or Dragon. Starship production & thus iterative improvement will be much faster than Falcon. Driving hard for fully reusable orbital flight this year!”
“RT @johnkrausphotos: Starship with humans for scale https://t.co/CG4DYInCd7”
“@Erdayastronaut @robert_zubrin Unfortunately, Starship unlikely to survive LEO entry intact without shielding on windward side, but none required on leeward. Even windward shielding is very light.”
“@SawyerMerritt Starship & next-gen Starlink satellites are key, but much risk lies ahead before those are working at scale”
“@PPathole @jack Still early stages on that. Getting Starship reliably to orbit, then achieving full & immediate reusability of both stages is by far top priority.”
“RT @Ivar_A2428: Starship looks like something straight out of a science fiction movie. https://t.co/Oiq4TM8ent”
“RT @teslaownersSV: Starship = Hope https://t.co/JURtqazQBT”
“RT @DimaZeniuk: Standing under the Starship https://t.co/OvhtU1Odcx”
“RT @SERobinsonJr: Starship. Human for scale. https://t.co/dJrCjBaDbM”
“@Kristennetten We plan to move older Starships close to the fence, so people can take pics with them if they want”
“RT @spacesudoer: Starship Flight 9 Infographic. https://t.co/sUYGwdSUkt”
“@teslaownersSV Starship will get taller. It’s a little short rn.”
“@esherifftv @SciGuySpace Starship will enable a permanently occupied moon base”
“@chazman Starlink maintained the connection while Starship was moving at ~17,000 mph through super heated plasma, which greatly impedes the signal”
“RT @DimaZeniuk: Starships at Starbase https://t.co/IFSHygie9d”
“RT @DimaZeniuk: All of these are happening soon: – X to launch X Money and X Chat – Unsupervised FSD in Austin, Texas – Starship Flight 9…”
“@DJSnM But the Moon Station that Starship will enable will be great”
“@SciGuySpace I think we can do it. Progress is accelerating. Starship offers a path to far greater payload to the Moon than is currently anticipated in the Artemis program. A permanently crewed Moon base is possible.”
“@jasonsellspa Starship will land on a ring of fire”
“@_Jevis_ @PPathole Ideal scenario imo is catching Starship in horizontal “glide” with no landing burn, although that is quite a challenge for the tower! Next best is catching with tower, with emergency pad landing mode on skirt (no legs).”
“RT @spacesudoer: X now finally supports 4K video! Starship Flight 9 will be streamed in 4K. Thank you so much, @elonmusk and the @X team 🫡…”
“@WallStreetSilv Max payload to standard Earth reference orbit is actually ~180 tons for Starship when it is fully reusable and ~300 tons if expendable. Latter number is the apples-to-apples number comparing Starship to Saturn V. >100 tons to the Starlink orbit is the operational spec minimum.”
“@PPathole @thesheetztweetz Well-optimized Starship would do ~250 tons to orbit as expendable & ~150 tons fully reusable”
“RT @johnkrausphotos: Rainbow with Starship! Good luck sign ahead of Flight 9 today 🌈🚀🤞 https://t.co/7T5PytJeqS”
“RT @teslaownersSV: The scale of the Starship is insane and 🤯🤯🤯 https://t.co/H23PzIkHeD”
“@DimaZeniuk Starship version 3 ~15m longer and will have about 3 times the thrust of Saturn V”
“@S3XYstarship @IWill_Travel @AOC This would be a super bad idea, since stocks can swing wildly from one day to the next, eg Snapchat dropping 43%. Tesla is ~40% below ATH! However, eliminating estate tax dodges like GRATs would be good, since probability of kids being effective stewards of capital is lower.”
“@Erdayastronaut @MarcusHouseGame Maybe start on that a year from now. Depends on how Starship progress goes.”
“@MarcusHouse Falcon 9 looks cute next to Starship and Falcon 1 looks like a high school project”
“RT @teslaownersSV: The future with Robotaxi and Starship is awesome https://t.co/gP6Yu8D9CO”
“RT @AJamesMcCarthy: When you see photos of Starship in flight, it's easy to forget just how massive it is. Here's the statue of liberty rou…”
“RT @johnkrausphotos: Starship https://t.co/Irz88uy8Nq”
“@PeterDiamandis With the advent of Starship, there is finally a path to solar-powered AI satellites at massive scale. It is the only path I can see that would allow for deployment of 1TW/year of AI.”
“@peterrhague Almost all that matters regarding Starship is that it enables consciousness to extend permanently beyond Earth. Everything else is in the noise.”
“RT @ElonClipsX: Elon Musk: As a system, Starship is thousands of times more capable than Saturn V. “Starship is 2.5 times the thrust of a…”
“@teslaownersSV Starship is the largest flying object ever made”
“@JerryPikePhoto Falcon 9 is bigger than it may seem. Starship is insanely giant!”
“RT @DimaZeniuk: Starship Flight 11 in ~7 days https://t.co/0XuXt8o6yi”
“RT @lexfridman: Had a great conversation with @joerogan and got to watch Starship's epic launch & landing live. This is why I love America…”
“RT @cb_doge: BREAKING: Elon Musk just gave a talk on Starship today. https://t.co/xaD8Mn8AMT”
“RT @johnkrausphotos: The V1 and V2 era of Starship has concluded after a largely successful 2.5-year run, defined by iterative development…”
“RT @iam_smx: Starship Test Flight 9 could launch as early as Tuesday, May 27th. More updates soon. https://t.co/C3Lg3hUjDa”
“@nextspaceflight @Erdayastronaut Static fire & short flights with SN3, longer flights with SN4, but spooling up the whole Starship/Raptor production line is really what matters”
“@Erdayastronaut @dauqhx @universal_sci Starship propellant is ~78% oxygen, so an O2 plant on the moon would be enough. Otherwise, we could brute-force it with tankers to low Earth orbit. That’s probably faster.”
