“@PPathole @Erdayastronaut @rmarcilhoo @kimitalvitie @SpaceXNow @ChrisG_NSF @NASASpaceflight Add 2 to 4 more Raptors for Starship point to point on Earth. You can go surprisingly far, even with low lift/drag. This was an unexpected result.”

“@lister6520 @justpaulinelol @MattLBates @Erdayastronaut You’re touching on a good critique of Falcon 9. Our 1st stage to 2nd stage propellant ratio is too high. We’re fixing that with Starship.”
“@WholeMarsBlog @MarcusHouseGame @Neopork85 @SpaceX @Erdayastronaut @SpaceToday1 @ElonsWorld @FelixSchlang @ChrisG_NSF @DJSnM Not yet”
“@GoForStaging @13ericralph31 @varunversion1 @Erdayastronaut @SpaceX Yes, already planned. We avoid use of certain lower Ku frequencies specifically for radio astronomy.”

“@EcoHeliGuy @Erdayastronaut @JaneidyEve @13ericralph31 @SPEXcast @bluemoondance74 @Orion_Sword @Some1gee @SpaceX Yes, will be used for rear cargo storage. Also helps manage center of mass for heavy payloads when forward cargo is full.”
“@MarkFriedenbach @PTrubey True. Testament the hard work and talent of the @SpaceX team that they were able to put together a fourth rocket just before we ran out of money.”

“@QuinnKupec @SpaceX @UofMaryland Yeah, exactly! Would be great to hear your thoughts. We’re going to try a few approaches. Can def be done, just about minimizing mass.”
“@Agent_KO @Starflightgame @SpaceX @starcontrolgame What would be great is original Elite”
“@MemesOfMars @Teslarati The mechanical attachment mechanism. We need to make sure they won’t fall off due to vibration & acoustics.”
“Now back to work. Intense months ahead as we ramp production of rockets and cars.”
“@marstronauts @Erdayastronaut @JaneidyEve @13ericralph31 @SPEXcast @bluemoondance74 @Orion_Sword @Some1gee @SpaceX Vacuum nozzle engines are only used in (near) vacuum conditions. Sea level engines need to gimbal rapidly & at high angle for landing. Larger nozzle leaves less room to move & increases moment of inertia.”
“@flcnhvy @Malcolmmarsman @marstronauts @Erdayastronaut @JaneidyEve @13ericralph31 @SPEXcast @bluemoondance74 @Orion_Sword @Some1gee @SpaceX First flights would have fewer, so as to risk less loss of hardware. Probably around 20.”

“Design completed for bringing rocket back to launchpad using only thrusters. Yay. Wings r just dead weight in space.”
“@leechy3 @kausthav_ray @SpaceX SX 300 & soon SX 500. Kind of a modern version of Inconel superalloys. High strength at temperature, extreme oxidation resistance. Needed for ~800 atmosphere, hot, oxygen-rich turbopump on Raptor rocket engine.”
“@SmallPettingZoo @Rob_2628 @Starlink Much easier than Lilith, actually, but the catch is that you only get one attempt for each set of stones and the stones are hard to get. Lilith has almost no penalty for as many attempts as you want.”
