“RT @HalcyonHypnotic: Flight 5: “We’ve removed tiles from the heat shield of starship, so don’t be surprised if explodes” > ship survives…”
“@JaneidyEve We’re now building flight design of Starship SN1, but each SN will have at least minor improvements, at least through SN20 or so of Starship V1.0.”
“RT @amXFreeze: Starship is so amazing that sometimes it’s hard to believe how true it is https://t.co/io6I51Oc7X”
“@SciGuySpace Starship can also be used to create a large, permanently crewed Moon Base Alpha research station”
“@annerajb Texas and Florida Starship prototypes (not Hopper) fly in 2 to 3 months”
“RT @cb_doge: Starship is the gateway to Kardashev civilization. https://t.co/rSxFeQEbAl”
“@flcnhvy @Erdayastronaut @ValkyrieBaron11 @NASASpaceflight Starship + Super Heavy propellant mass is 4800 tons (78% O2 & 22% CH4). I think we can get propellant cost down to ~$100/ton in volume, so ~$500k/flight. With high flight rate, probably below $1.5M fully burdened cost for 150 tons to orbit or ~$10/kg.”
“RT @teslaownersSV: The scale of the Starship is insane and 🤯🤯🤯 https://t.co/09STmiFuHm”
“@annerajb @Erdayastronaut @flcnhvy @austinbarnard45 We decided to skip building a new nosecone for Hopper. Don’t need it. What you see being built is the orbital Starship vehicle.”
“@StarshipGazer Heat shield design and production is getting good”
“@Erdayastronaut @dwesterster Trying have fewer parts, so strakes are unlikely. Some very counterintuitive CFD results in both hypersonic & subsonic regimes. Starship does controlled falling more than flying.”
“RT @spacesudoer: Starship flight 8 mission profile. https://t.co/i1bkN8AFNx”

“RT @teslaownersSV: Starship falling into Indian Ocean and Starlink provides the coverage 🤯 https://t.co/miP3E6Y8V2”
“@Teslarati ~1750K is peak heating expected on about 20% of Starship for LEO entry, ~1600K on 20%. Rest drops below 1450K, so no heat shield needed. Radiative cooling at T^4 takes care of 60% of the ship. Another reason for steel.”
“RT @MarioNawfal: ELON: TO SCALE CIVILIZATION, WE’LL HAVE TO MOVE AI TO DEEP SPACE “I see a path to Starship cost-per-ton-to-orbit being lo…”
“@C3LT_Games Hopefully, Starship will have enough flight history to substitute for Dragon for NASA missions too”
“RT @EvaFoxU: Starship is set to launch in 8 days, on August 24. I'm so excited about this 🤩🔥 https://t.co/l0EjnoiUkN”

“@LibertyCappy Maybe we should do this with Starship”
“RT @teslaownersSV: My Cybertruck is even more bad ass at night. Inspired by Starship. https://t.co/vymIbTQtAV”
“RT @ApoStructura: @ScottLikedSLS pointed out that there is an issue with Starship’s height, I’ve found and corrected the logic flow (relate…”
“RT @XFreeze: Elon talks about how Starship was built, and it really puts things into perspective This is "probably the biggest thing ever…”
“RT @StarshipGazer: Some views of the first Version 3 Raptor engine (20) at Starbase tonight on display next to Version 1 (59) and Version 2…”
“RT @FutureJurvetson: Starship really is that spacious... I've climbed through the mockup. Skylab comparison below. We can now establish a…”
“@TJ_Cooney Starship just needs to add a light bar outline of the docking bay”
“@Erdayastronaut @DiscoverMag Massive delta velocity slam from highly elliptical Earth orbit using a fully retanked, but lightened up Starship with no heat shield or fins/legs. Best choice for the impatient. Ion engines are too slow.”
“@JaneidyEve Will probably make sense to do this when Starship Mk 1 has 3 Raptors, moving body fins & landing gear installed, which is hopefully mid September”

“@LinkofHyrule89 @YunTaTsai1 No AI was used for Starship. Just our little meat computers.”
“@teslaownersSV Still hard to believe that Starship is real”
“RT @teslaownersSV: Starship rate of improvement is insane Here are all the launches from 2019 until now. https://t.co/kKfRHSFktg”
“RT @ApoStructura: The scale of Starship + Superheavy https://t.co/S7viVMEdfG”

“@_Synders @John_Gardi @martinengwicht @Erdayastronaut @NASASpaceflight @JeromeJaccard @Robotbeat @alan1bernard Starlink V1 on Falcon, V2+ on Starship. Basically, all future products will contain either the word “star” or “link” 😀”
“@paperclip9000 @renwis1 @thearkadia_ @Grimezsz Engines currently on Starship hopper are a blend of Raptor development & operational parts. First hopper engine to be fired is almost finished assembly in California. Probably fires next month.”
“RT @HeavyMetalShip: Wait… Grok actually watches your videos now? 🤯 Ran an analysis on my post about MrBeast & Starship heat shield tiles,…”

“@flcnhvy @austinbarnard45 🚀♥️ Starship Team ♥️🚀”
“@sydney_ev Attach wheels to the landing legs & tow Starship to the launch pad”
“RT @Boca_Bill_R: As I like to say it’s the “human for scale” shot. It’s hard to convey how big Starship really is, but this helps.”
“RT @XFreeze: Starship is how humanity becomes multi-planetary https://t.co/ZZOZVLrDZ8”
“@HarryStoltz1 @neiltyson @Space_Station Big challenge for Starship refueling on the moon is finding sources of carbon. Probably some pretty big deposits in craters from meteorites. Same goes for hydrogen & oxygen, also in (shadowed) craters.”
