Lot to learn on this flight [@PettitFrontier] SpaceX’s mission profile for Starship Flight 8. It will be eventful. Booster catch, Starlink deployment, in-space engine relight, entry & flip. I called @astro_Pettit and we’re optimistic the ISS will have brief in-flight visibility. And I will be at Starbase. Let’s do this. )

SpaceX is accelerating rapidly. When Starship is launching several times a day in a few years, SpaceX will be ~99% of all Earth payload mass to orbit, even if the others triple their current launch rate. [@FutureJurvetson] 🚀 T͢h͢e͢ ͢Q͢3͢ ͢L͢a͢u͢n͢c͢h͢ ͢R͢e͢p͢o͢r͢t͢ ͢j͢u͢s͢t͢ ͢c͢a͢m͢e͢ ͢o͢u͢t͢🚀 For kg launched to orbit, SpaceX has 97% share for the U.S. and 83% globally. The eight Chinese launchers add up to 8.6%. Looking into the graph's magnifying box, IDF just nudged past Rocket Lab. https://x.com/i/web/status/1994495568291532883

Stretch goal for Starship V4 is 300 tons of thrust per engine with 33 engines, so 10,000 tons of total thrust. That is 3 times the power of the Saturn V Moon rocket. [@XFreeze] SpaceX’s Starship is already one of the biggest flying objects ever built and it’s still getting bigger • With Starship 4, total size could grow ~10–20% • Raptor thrust jumps ~20%, nearing 9,000 tons at sea level • Enough to send 200+ tons to useful orbit • Fully &… https://x.com/i/web/status/2014607481159463407

@markusdd5 Given that several companies make advanced chips, but no companies have ever made fully reusable rockets or achieved SpaceX scale, I think Starship is harder, but we shall see. Terafab will technically be two fabs, each making only one chip design. This greatly simplifies

@SpaceActivist88 @JeffGreason @peterrhague @SpaceNotJohn SpaceX will colonize Mars. The fundamental question is whether Earth civilization can maintain its technology level long enough for the colony to grow on its own, even if the supply ships stop coming. If yes, then humanity will pass the single-planet Fermi Great Filter.

@bartjehoel @djenkins6 Correct, pure electric. Wish orbital rockets could be so too, but there’s no escaping Newton’s Third Law. SpaceX is already developing high efficiency CO2 capture with H2O to form liquid CH4 (methane) & O2. Critical for propellant production at Mars Base Alpha.
