@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.

@wapodavenport 16 flights is extremely unlikely. Starship payload to orbit is ~150 tons , so max of 8 to fill 1200 ton tanks of lunar Starship. Without flaps & heat shield, Starship is much lighter. Lunar landing legs don’t add much (1/6 gravity). May only need 1/2 full, ie 4 tanker flights.

@Teslarati Diess is right. Hydrogen is a staggeringly dumb form of energy storage for cars. Barely worth considering it for a rocket upper stage, which is its most compelling use.

That’s right provided the two Crew Dragon test flights go well. Hardware will def be ready.

@somefoundersalt Exactly. Yglesias is incredibly deceptive and lacks any journalistic integrity. There is nothing monopolistic about rockets, any more than there is about aircraft. Just a matter of making the best product.

@newscientist ... say scientists — among other insights gained — after a large vat of LSD overturned in the lab. Also discovered: humans are just sentient sponges, drywall tastes like a marshmallow and gravity is real. The last point remains heavily debated.

@thesheetztweetz @NASAKennedy @SpaceX It is hard to overstate criticality of reusable rockets. No less important than reusable aircraft, cars or bicycles. Essential for humanity to become a multiplanet species & backup the biosphere.

@thejefflutz No, because this is the current peak speed per beam and the beams are large, so this system is only effective where there is no existing cellular service. This service works in partnership with wireless providers, like what @SpaceX and @TMobile announced.
