Just the passing grade needed to colonize Mars [@ElonFactsX] Elon Musk: “Falcon 1 is about half a ton to orbit. Starship 3 will be 400 times more payload for less than the cost of a Falcon 1. These are unthinkable numbers. Nobody ever thought this was possible.”

The path to the stars is the Moon and Mars [@XFreeze] With Starship, humans aren’t just visiting space It’s a path to become a multi-planetary species This is how humanity breaks the single-planet limit This is how civilizations survive, expand, and explore beyond Earth and Mars is the start

There will be no wasted launch window [@palladiummag] Launch windows when planets are positioned most efficiently for travel have always been part of mission planning. We might soon enter an era when there is no wasted launch window, to Mars or any other planet. The night sky will be lit up with such Starship ignitions. )

Going max hardcore on design/production Starship here in Boca. It’s awesome! Feels a bit like a Mars simulator.

@LadoBitnar I am highly confident that we can send several uncrewed Starships to Mars in 2 years. If those ships don’t increment the crater count on Mars, then crewed ships can be sent in 4 years.

@SciGuySpace @raikohtech I am confident that Starship will land humans on Mars. That path is clear. But what really matters is securing the future of consciousness, not just getting a small number of people to Mars. That probably requires getting over 100,000 people and 1M tons of cargo to Mars.

@SPEXcast @TrungTPhan Starship will be crushingly cost-effective for Earth orbit or moon missions as soon as it’s operational & rapid reuse is happening. Mars is a lot harder, because Earth & Mars only align every 26 months, so ship reuse is limited to ~dozen times over 25 to 30 year life of ship.

@abhiyogi Slight chance of Starship flight to Mars crewed by Optimus in Nov/Dec next year. A lot needs to go right for that. More likely, first flight without humans in ~3.5 years, next flight ~5.5 years with humans. Mars city self-sustaining in 20 to 30 years.
