“@teslaownersSV SpaceX will be ready to launch Starship in a few weeks, then launch timing depends on FAA license approval. Assuming that takes a few weeks, first launch attempt will be near end of third week of April, aka …”
“Congrats to SpaceX for completing & documented the 57 items required by the FAA for Flight 2 of Starship! Worth noting that 6 of the 63 items refer to later flights. https://t.co/YlPg3ywCZE”
“Please send your resume to BuildStarship@spacex.com if you’re coming to the Starship career day in Boca Chica tomorrow”
“@SciGuySpace Provided there is no serious launch anomaly, SpaceX will deliver 80% of Earth’s payload to orbit this year. Not counting Starship.”
“SpaceX - Starship's Tenth Flight Test https://t.co/nclVnLjNmC https://www.spacex.com/launches/starship-flight-10”
“@PPathole Starship booster, largest flying object ever designed, will be caught out of sky by launch tower. Big step forward, as reflight can be done in under an hour.”
“Just came across this pretty good CNBC piece on SpaceX & Starship https://t.co/RELYzC40M9 https://youtu.be/LgXtMtLdDxc”
“Starship technical update [@SpaceX] The seventh flight test of Starship ended before reaching its ambitious goals. Lessons learned are being applied to future vehicles to make them more reliable. A technical summary of the investigation can be found here → http://spacex.com/updates/#flight-7-report)”
“@PPathole Starship is the key to making life multiplanetary & protecting the light of consciousness”
“Attempting 10th flight test! [@SpaceX] Watch Starship's tenth flight test → http://spacex.com/launches/starship-flight-10”
“@aubreystrobel Yes, public viewing of Starship is easy from South Padre Island and the view is excellent. Also, the rocket factory and launch towers are right by a public highway.”
“@johnkrausphotos @SpaceX Starship Flight 3 hardware should be ready to fly in 3 to 4 weeks. There are three ships in final production in the high bay (as can be seen from the highway).”
“Good shot of @SpaceX Starship flight test vehicle being assembled in Boca Chica, Texas”
“@PPathole @SpaceX SpaceX team is doing great work! One day, the true measure of success will be that Starship flights are commonplace.”
“@NewsfromScience @ScienceVisuals Starship will be an incredible enabler for science. Full reusability & high production rate drive several orders of magnitude improvement in $/kg to orbit & beyond. Next gen Starlink constellation is primary user of this rocket, so science doesn’t need to cover fixed cost.”
“@CSI_Starbase @LabPadre High-strength stainless steel armor is needed to protect the launch stand from the world’s biggest blowtorch! Even steel will be eroded fast by the Starship booster plume. We will need to make a water-cooled steel jacket to achieve full reusability.”
“@hoppar_app @SpaceX @DJSnM @spacex360 @SpaceXStarship @StarshipGazer @NASASpaceflight @Erdayastronaut @MarcusHouse @FelixSchlang @ErcXspace Pretty close to what we’re aiming for”
“@StarshipFairing @SpaceX @ulalaunch @blueorigin @relativityspace @torybruno @thetimellis Design is easy, production is hard”
“@PhilippeCROIZON @SpaceX One day we will fly you on Starship”
“@Tesmanian_com If a severe global recession were to dry up capital availability / liquidity while SpaceX was losing billions on Starlink & Starship, then bankruptcy, while still unlikely, is not impossible. GM & Chrysler went BK last recession. “Only the paranoid survive.” – Grove”
“@Erdayastronaut @SpaceX Starship payload is 250 to 300 tons to orbit in expendable mode. Improved thrust & Isp from Raptor will enable ~6000 ton liftoff mass.”
“@PPathole @SpaceX Optimized, fully-reusable Starship is ~150t to same reference orbit as Saturn V. In expendable mode, Starship payload would be 250t to 300t.”
“@SciGuySpace So many war stories over 18 eventful years! But Starship can make life multiplanetary, which is what really matters for safeguarding the light of consciousness & life as we know it. 100X improvement over Falcon/Dragon.”
“@DimaZeniuk Steel also had the advantage over carbon fiber of not driving SpaceX into bankruptcy making Starship”
“RT @SpaceX: Liftoff of Starship! https://t.co/d6d2hHgMa0”
“RT @SpaceX: Super Heavy on the launch pad at Starbase ahead of Starship's eighth flight test https://t.co/MdiIQMy5EF”
“RT @SpaceX: Splashdown confirmed! Congratulations to the entire SpaceX team on an exciting eleventh flight test of Starship! https://t.co/l… https://x.com/yz”
“@krassenstein @SpaceX Starship should be able to make it to the moon in less than 5 years”
“@cnunezimages @SpaceX @SpaceIntellige3 Starships”
“@waitbutwhy Max payload of Starship V1 in expendable mode (like the other rockets) is ~200 tons. V3 is expected to be ~200 tons with full reusability and ~400 tons expendable. Length will grow by 20 to 30 meters and thrust to ~10k tons.”
“@KenKirtland17 @torybruno @ulalaunch @SpaceX @blueorigin @Erdayastronaut @DJSnM @ThePrimalDino Starship fairing will actually have more height than shown here. Dome will be flatter & more of tip is accessible. Usable volume ~1000 cubic meters.”
“@johnkrausphotos @NASASpaceflight @SpaceX @SuperclusterHQ Starship/Super Heavy is ~10X bigger in mass & volume”
“@thesheetztweetz @QuiltyAnalytics SpaceX default plan was ~65% of global launch mass to orbit this year. Incremental demand might take that to ~70%, so not a major change. Those numbers don’t count Starship. Rough math is ~16 tons * 50 launches = 800 tons. Rest of world is <400 tons (mostly China).”
“@engineers_feed Hell of a rocket! Probably would have succeeded if Korolev had not died. Hopefully, Starship is more fortunate.”
“RT @SpaceX: The first Starship V3 has left the build site to begin prelaunch testing https://t.co/DMZVMuRQVl”
“@imPenny2x @SecDuffyNASA They won’t. SpaceX is moving like lightning compared to the rest of the space industry. Moreover, Starship will end up doing the whole Moon mission. Mark my words.”
“RT @SpaceX: View under the launch mount as Super Heavy's 33 Raptor engines ignite on Starship's eighth flight test https://t.co/WRCazkhyXs”
“@jessica_kirsh @SpaceX It’s awesome that people can see Starship so close up”
“@johnkrausphotos @SpaceX @PortCanaveral Version 3 of the SpaceX droneship. Team did great work! Will be epic to see the deep sea oil rigs converted to ocean spaceports for Starship.”
“@aaronburnett SpaceX has a massive presence in Florida. It is our biggest launch complex by far. And the Starship heat shield factory is there.”
“@JaneidyEve @flcnhvy @Freiraum77 @SpaceX Aiming for 20km flight in Oct & orbit attempt shortly thereafter. Starship update will be on Sept 28th, anniversary of SpaceX reaching orbit. Starship Mk 1 will be fully assembled by that time.”
“RT @SpaceX: The ninth flight test of Starship is preparing to launch as soon as Tuesday, May 27 → https://t.co/Gufroc2kUz https://t.co/nTc2… http://spacex.com/launches/mission/?missionId=starship-flight-9”

“@mayemusk @SpaceX Starship Mk 1 & Hopper”
“@ID_AA_Carmack Best case 2028, but probably 2030. If SpaceX is not smothered by regulations, then the Starship launch rate will far exceed the Falcon launch rate, as Starship fully reusable, while Falcon is only mostly reusable. Starship should be doing >1000 Earth orbit flights per year by…”
“RT @SpaceX: Starship moved to the pad at Starbase for preflight testing https://t.co/KYSMthPjFD”
“@StarshipFairing @Phrankensteyn @SpaceX @smvllstvrs @Erdayastronaut @austinbarnard45 @NASASpaceflight @spacex360 @ErcXspace If Earth’s gravity was even 10% lower, I’d be all for single stage to orbit”
“@Erdayastronaut Great shot! Btw, Starship Super Heavy will not have an entry burn. Delta-v is shifted more to the ship, so booster entry Q & heating is lower.”
“@NASASpaceflight SpaceX is doing simultaneous competing builds of Starship in Boca Chica Texas & Cape Canaveral Florida”
