“Starship Super Heavy Booster, the most powerful moving object ever made by far [@SpaceX] First 33-engine static fire for Super Heavy V3”
“Staging is so hot rn [@SpaceX] Super Heavy booster going from hot-staging to tower catch on Starship's seventh flight test )”
“Raptor V3 just achieved 350 bar chamber pressure (269 tons of thrust). Congrats to @SpaceX propulsion team! Starship Super Heavy Booster has 33 Raptors, so total thrust of 8877 tons or 19.5 million pounds. https://t.co/ZlskpCXUmu”
“Starship is the first rocket/spaceship capable of making life multiplanetary, which requires it to be both far more powerful and far more advanced than anything that came before. [@johnkrausphotos] Starship: Humans for scale. Flight 8 today. )”
“@Malcolmmarsman @flcnhvy No problem. We could program Starship to perform Swan Lake in the sky. Minimizing landing burn propellant mass is what’s hard.”
“So many spaceships will be born in the Starbase Gigabay [@DimaZeniuk] SpaceX is constructing a $250 million GigaBay at Starbase to accelerate Starship production The 700,000-square-foot facility is designed to build up to 1,000 rockets per year”
“Starship flight on Monday ~5pm CT [@SpaceX] Flight-proven Super Heavy booster moved to the pad at Starbase ahead of launch”
“RT @teslaownersSV: WHY STARSHIP NEEDS TO BE SO MASSIVE: ELON MUSK EXPLAINS THE SCALE FOR MARS Elon has repeatedly emphasized that Starship…”
“This talk is postponed until after the Starship Flight 9 launch tonight [@SpaceX] Watch an update from @elonmusk on SpaceX’s plan to make life multiplanetary https://x.com/i/broadcasts/1rmxPyOEBWXKN”
“Yes [@cb_doge] Starship is the first ever rocket design capable of making life multiplanetary. )”
“Why is Starship made of stainless steel? This article from 5 years ago explains the reasons. Worth noting that the ship would have failed on reentry if made of aluminum or carbon fiber, as they can’t take the heat. https://t.co/QVAtv74quq https://www.popularmechanics.com/space/rockets/a25953663/elon-musk-spacex-bfr-stainless-steel/”
“Yes, at massive volume. Maybe as high as 10,000 ships per year. [@iam_smx] SpaceX is going to produce Starships like they're Aeroplanes With a $250 million Gigabay at Starbase, the company is accelerating Starship production. The 700,000-square-foot facility is designed to manufacture up to 1,000 rockets per year.”
“@annerajb @highlyaaronic Orbital refilling is critical for high payload to moon or Mars. Initially just Starship to Starship, later dedicated tankers.”
“Starship test flight rocket just finished assembly at the @SpaceX Texas launch site. This is an actual picture, not a rendering. https://t.co/k1HkueoXaz”
“Travel anywhere on Earth (that’s willing to allow loud rockets) in half an hour or so at Mach 25! [@MarioNawfal] ELON WANTS TO REPLACE PLANES WITH ROCKETS SpaceX’s Starship could take you from New York to Sydney in under an hour. It skips jetlag by literally launching you into space and back down somewhere else. It’s like teleportation but with fire and Elon energy. Would you ditch”
“Starship is a planet-colonizer class rocket. The magnitude of that task makes every other space transport task trivial. [@ApoStructura] Starship HLS is going to have 135x the living volume of the Apollo LEM! Sci-fi shows from 10y ago imagined future landers would be ~10x larger than the LEM, but we’re skipping over an entire generation and going straight to giant multipurpose ships. SpaceX is 20 years ahead.”
“With Starship, humanity finally has a rocket design capable of making life multiplanetary”
“This is despite @SpaceX competitors increasing their launch rates. SpaceX is an anomaly in the matrix. Nothing can compare to a system designed to make life/consciousness multiplanetary. [@EvaFoxU] SpaceX will launch over 90% of all of Earth’s payload mass to orbit this year! 🤯 When Starship is launching at high rate, SpaceX will probably carry >99% of Earth’s payload mass to orbit!”
“Getting ready to launch Starship 💫 [@SpaceX] Super Heavy booster moved to the launch pad at Starbase ahead of Starship's tenth flight test”
“This is an accurate picture of orbital rocket launches so far this year. 90% Falcon with the massive @SpaceX Starship standing out very clearly. [@ApoStructura] All 258 rockets launched in 2025 so far, chronologically and at scale.”
“Raptor 3 has almost twice the thrust and much higher reliability than Raptor 1, despite costing about four times less! [@SpaceX] Raptor 3 is an unprecedented step forward in rocket engine design, which will help us increase Starship’s efficiency and the amount of mass Starship is able to deliver to space )”
“The Starship launch tower that catches the giant rocket booster is basically Mechazilla”
“Starship Super Heavy testing [@SpaceX] Cryoproof operations complete for the first time with a Super Heavy V3 booster. This multi-day campaign tested the booster's redesigned propellant systems and its structural strength”
“Flight 10 Super Heavy Booster [@SpaceX] Full duration static fire of all 33 Raptor engines on the Super Heavy booster ahead of Starship's next flight test”
“Starship is the first rocket design where success in making life multiplanetary is in the set of possible outcomes”
“There is a good chance of achieving full reusability of Starship this year. Full and immediate reflight of Starship, along with orbital refilling, probably happens next year. This is the fundamental breakthrough needed to make life multiplanetary. [@cb_doge] BREAKING: Elon Musk says he believes the ship will achieve reusability this year and that the entire stack—ship and booster—will achieve rapid reusability next year. This is the fundamental breakthrough required for life to become multiplanetary. )”
“🚀 [@NASA_LSP] Welcome to the LSP Fleet, Starship! @SpaceX's Starship rocket has been added to our NASA Launch Services II contract as part of the annual on-ramp process, which allows providers to introduce launch services not currently on contract. https://www.nasa.gov/news-release/nasa-awards-launch-services-contract-for-spacex-starship/”
“Best part is no part [@SpaceX] They’ll also be used for vehicle lift and catch, made possible by a new catch point addition and a lower positioning on the booster to align with the tower catch arms. Moving lower reduces the heat they receive from Starship’s engines at hot-staging and places the fin shaft,”
“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. )”
“@PPathole Most people have no idea Starship exists or how large this beast is! Body diameter (9m or 30 ft) is bigger than a 747 or A380. Starship thrust & mass are more than double Saturn V moon rocket. Making life multiplanetary means massive rockets. Got to be done.”
“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”
“@SpaceX Major launchpad upgrades should be complete in about a month, then another month of rocket testing on pad, then flight 2 of Starship”
“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”
“Technically, two parts: Starship is the spaceship/upper stage & Super Heavy is the rocket booster needed to escape Earth’s deep gravity well (not needed for other planets or moons)”
“@Erdayastronaut @thesheetztweetz @BryceSpaceTech @SpaceX @Arianespace @ArianeGroup @roscosmos @northropgrumman @ulalaunch @torybruno @isro @RocketLab The Starship fleet is designed to achieve over 1000 times more payload to orbit than all other rockets on Earth combined. Almost no one understands this.”
“@rookisaacman Starship is the first rocket/spaceship with the potential to make life multiplanetary”
“@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”

“RT @cb_doge: BREAKING: MrBeast just posted a new video touring SpaceX’s massive Starship rocket manufacturing facility in Texas. https://t.…”
“@MuskUniversity Based on the Falcon launch plan for next year, SpaceX will deliver ~90% of all Earth payload to orbit. Starship will take that to >99% in future years. These magnitudes are madness to consider, but necessary to make consciousness multiplanetary.”
“@thesheetztweetz @BryceSpaceTech @SpaceX @roscosmos @Arianespace @ArianeGroup @northropgrumman @RocketLab @ulalaunch @VirginOrbit @torybruno Upmass is what matters. One Starship will lift what all Falcons did in Q2 on a single flight.”
“@Austen A surprising number of people don’t understand what a profound level unlock full reusability is. It is the holy grail of rocketry and the fundamental breakthrough needed to make life multiplanetary. Starship is designed for full & rapid reusability – launch, land, refill…”
“@TJ_Cooney @lrocket @SpaceX @FelixSchlang @MarcusHouseGame Tom is great & was instrumental in developing early versions of Merlin & Kestrel, but not later versions of Merlin or Starship/Raptor”
“RT @DimaZeniuk: SpaceX just conducted a static fire of Booster 16 ahead of Starship Flight 10 https://t.co/nvXtqFUicF”
“@ZealotOcelot @ajtourville @SpaceX SpaceX will deliver ~90% of all of Earth’s mass to orbit this year. Once Starship is flying regularly, SpaceX will deliver >99% of mass to orbit, unless some other company creates a large, fully reusable rocket.”
“@Drew78823936 @Erdayastronaut @DJSnM @RocketTenor @NASA @SpaceX @Space_Station @Commercial_Crew Probably right. Starship rate of progress far exceeds Falcon & Dragon, although they’re critical to getting there. dInnovation/dt is what matters long-term.”
“@RichardDawkins Starship is the first rocket/spacecraft capable of making life multiplanetary. What really matters for the preservation and extension of consciousness is extending it beyond Earth to the rest of the solar system and, ultimately, to millions of stars.”
