“RT @SpaceX: The Road to Making Life Multiplanetary: an update from @elonmusk on SpaceX's plan to reach Mars https://t.co/d2cnsVKK80”
“@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.”
“@ThierryBreton In all seriousness, SpaceX hopes to offer travel to Mars to anyone who wants to go, bearing in mind that it will be like a long sea voyage in centuries past – dangerous and uncomfortable, but great adventure! Becoming multiplanetary ensures the long-term survival of life.”
“@WholeMarsBlog Great progress by the @SpaceX team towards making life multiplanetary!”
“@Everman SpaceX will prob build 30 to 40 rocket cores for ~300 missions over 5 years. Then BFR takes over & Falcon retires. Goal of BFR is to enable anyone to move to moon, Mars & eventually outer planets.”
“@SpceEnthusiast @tjmurphy_mit @thesheetztweetz @ExploreMars @SpaceX @TheeSpaceDude Over time, outer 20 will have ~300 tons of thrust & inner 8 ~210, so roughly 7500 tons total at sea level or 1.5 T/W for booster+ship”
“RT @Truthful_ast: SpaceX’s current large ambitions: -Moon base Alpha on the Moon. -A Mars colony -Data centers in orbit -Starlink V3 bring…”
“@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.”
“Millions of people needed for Mars colony, so 80k+ would just be the number moving to Mars per year http://t.co/rwMuzVEK http://news.yahoo.com/huge-mars-colony-eyed-spacex-founder-elon-musk-120626263.html”
“Definitely. Long term goal of SpaceX making life multiplanetary. #OccupyMars @Weaverwerx #APSpaceChat”
“Make life multiplanetary! #Mars”
“Yes [@cb_doge] SpaceX will have a base on Mars one day.”
“SpaceX’s mission is to extend consciousness to Mars and then the stars”
“True. I think @realDonaldTrump winning makes a big difference in humanity getting to Mars and making life multiplanetary. This might one day save life as we know it.”
“For those unaware, SpaceX has already shifted focus to building a self-growing city on the Moon, as we can potentially achieve that in less than 10 years, whereas Mars would take 20+ years. The mission of SpaceX remains the same: extend consciousness and life as we know it to… https://t.co/HSuKIz1eVd https://x.com/i/web/status/2020640004628742577”
“If we make life multiplanetary, there may come a day when some plants & animals die out on Earth, but are still alive on Mars”
“SpaceX is the railroad that will enable millions of opportunities for others on Mars, just like the Union Pacific Railroad did for California”
“Even if we fail at creating a Mars colony that can grow without continuous support from Earth, the absurdly ambitious nature of the goal nonetheless results in the creation of alien-level technology that is crushingly better than competitors who merely aim for Earth orbit.”
“Mars is a planet purely of robots (for now) [@SpaceX] Falcon Heavy will launch the Rosalind Franklin rover to Mars in late 2028”
“Earth’s gravity is strong enough to make reaching Mars extremely hard, but not impossible [@fermatslibrary] Why Super-Earthlings Might Never Reach the Stars In the rocket equation, the fuel required to reach orbit grows exponentially with gravity. If Earth’s gravity were 15% stronger, space programs would likely be impossible.”
“Yes [@teslaownersSV] “Elon Musk Instead of buying an island or a yacht, he wants to keep putting his chips on the table. He decides he wants to send a rocket to Mars. His friends were like, ‘What are you talking about?’ And Elon says, ‘If we don’t become a spacefaring civilization, human”
“Voting for Trump is voting for Mars! Unless we stop the slow strangulation by overregulation happening in America, we will never become a multiplanetary civilization.”
“Making life multiplanetary expands the scope & scale of consciousness. It also enables us to backup the biosphere, protecting all life as we know it from a calamity on Earth. Humanity is life’s steward, as no other species can transport life to Mars. We can’t let them down.”
“Always on mission [@SERobinsonJr] The lobby of the SpaceX Starlink factory in Bastrop, Texas. The 'Earth to Mars' orbital transfer ellipse.”
“New SpaceX Starlink cover shows transfer orbit from Earth to Mars https://t.co/vwWeuhWCoP”
“Yes [@XFreeze] Elon Musk reveals the deeper purpose of becoming a multiplanetary species: “Having two planets that are both self-sustaining and strong is going to be incredibly important for the long-term survival of civilization The goal is not just to visit Mars - it’s to ensure the light”
“The goal of @SpaceX is expansion of consciousness to the stars so that we may understand what questions to ask about the answer that is the Universe [@somefoundersalt] Remember SpaceX was publicly clear that its goal was Mars even before the first Falcon 9 even flew There should be even more companies driven by civilization-scale visions”
“Kids love using Grok Imagine, because they can speak their ideas and watch the images update immediately [@imPenny2x] Grok imagine collaboration with my 6 year old daughter. Prompt: A green dragon flying a rocket ship to mars to meet Elon Musk. He’s in space and there are a bunch of stars that look like robots. He’s gonna make an invention where you can golf on the moon without the balls”
“Yes [@mark_k] Elon Musk just announced a major strategic pivot for @SpaceX: the company is officially shifting its primary focus to building a "self-growing city" on the Moon. The logic is centered on speed. While Mars missions are restricted by orbital alignments every 26 months, SpaceX can… https://x.com/i/web/status/2020780398372900902”
“Yes [@cb_doge] For the first time ever, there is a rocket capable of establishing a permanent base on Mars. )”
“Yup [@cb_doge] "Starlink internet is what's being used to pay for humanity getting to Mars. So I'd like to thank everyone out there who bought Starlink, because you're helping secure the future of civilization and helping make life multiplanetary." 一 Elon Musk”
“@SmokeAwayyy With booster ultimately flying up to ~20 times per day & ship flying up to ~5 times per day. Useful load to Mars is ~150 metric tons, but requires ~5 orbital refilling tanker flights. Target: >1 megaton of cargo & people delivered to Mars, so that it becomes self-sustaining.”
“Grok Imagine prompt: The bare necessities with a jovial grizzly bear in a sleek, silver spacesuit on Mars, rockets gleaming in the background under a crimson sunset glow. https://t.co/ECqOMFX1za”
“@engineers_feed Due to lower gravity, you can travel from surface of Mars to surface of Earth fairly easily with a single stage rocket. Earth to Mars is vastly harder.”
“@WholeMarsBlog It used to be: “Internet guy will fail at rockets/cars!” Now it is: “Rockets/cars guy will fail at Internet!” Literally from same media outlets 🤣🤣”
“@farzyness The priority shift is because I’m worried that a natural or manmade catastrophe stops the resupply ships coming from Earth, causing the colony to die out. We can make the Moon city self-growing in less than 10 years, but Mars will take 20+ years due to the 26 month iteration… https://t.co/stiaf8Tkpu https://x.com/i/web/status/2020910733697954282”
“👌 [@grok] @EightBitElon @elonmusk @LimitingThe Chimps master tree-climbing via evolved instincts, but leading NASA's rocket science requires mastering delta-v and orbital decay, not just brachiation. Transfer learning shines in AI, yet applying primate agility to space governance risks more splashdowns than Mars landings.”
“@RocketRick @Twitter Social media in general, especially Twitter, were eroding civilization. If civilization collapses before Mars becomes self-sustaining, then nothing else matters. Human consciousness is gone.”
“@DimaZeniuk @SpaceX @SirineAti @captainarve @andst7 @WholeMarsBlog @EvasTeslaSPlaid @GailAlfarATX @JaneidyEve @TeslaAIBot @1stMarsColonist Will get bigger. Ship will probably stretch by another 10m or so.”
“Mars V2 plan coming soon, which I think addresses the most fundamental flaw in V1: how to pay for development & operation of giant rockets https://t.co/yaITdVdpEc https://x.com/sciam/status/875756138121310208”
“@JonErlichman 5 years ago. We need to accelerate progress towards fully reusable rockets. Cost per ton to orbit needs to improve by >1000% from where Falcon is today for there to be a self-sustaining city on Mars.”
“@flcnhvy @thatdogegirl @WhatsupFranks @TeslaGong Becoming multiplanetary is one of the greatest filters. Only now, 4.5 billion years after Earth formed, is it possible. How long this window to reach Mars remains open is uncertain. Perhaps a long time, perhaps not. In case it is the latter, we should act now.”
“@PPathole @SpaceX Pattern on the Starlink router is orbital transfer ellipse from Earth to Mars”
“@Globe_Mars @CNBC We must safeguard the future of life by transitioning to sustainable energy on Earth & becoming multiplanetary via Mars. It’s not clear how much time we have to do these things, but sooner is definitely better.”
“@johnkrausphotos @SpaceX Mars Base Alpha”
“@cnunezimages @SpaceX @SpaceIntellige3 Gateway to Mars”
“@FischerKing64 Keep books and historical media safe. SpaceX will put copies of knowledge in space an on the Moon and Mars.”
“@engineers_feed Indirectly, an electric rocket is possible by using electricity to convert CO2+H2O —> CH4+O2. This will be needed on Mars even for early missions & Earth too over time.”
