“@JaneidyEve @justpaulinelol @EvaFoxU @SpaceX Very convincing! Ok, Boca it is. We should have Starship Mk1 with 3 Raptors almost ready to fly by then.”
“@JoelSercel Despite significant growth by our competitors, especially China, SpaceX will probably increase from ~90% of Earth’s total payload to orbit to ~98% in about 24 months due to Starship”
“@Erdayastronaut @sivanithu @tobyliiiiiiiiii @cabral_psyd @imatsb @thesheetztweetz @SciGuySpace @Some1gee @RocketLab @Peter_J_Beck I have great respect for anyone who gets a rocket to orbit! It’s very hard. I’m spending crazy hours on Starship design/production. It is truly an honor to work with such great engineers. SN4 is almost done 😀”
“RT @SpaceX: The Starship team is go for prop load. Targeting 5:45pm CT for liftoff of Starship’s eighth flight test. The launch webcast wi…”
“@peterrhague @Space_Station @SpaceX I think we need to move on from this ancient space station. If necessary, deep space Starship missions with astronauts can fill the gap.”
“RT @teslaownersSV: Starship is by far the most powerful flying object ever made. Each Raptor rocket engine produces twice as much thrust…”
“@MarioNawfal I’m excited about the future upgrade to Starship that will extend the rocket length and take total thrust to 10,000 tons, which is ~3X Saturn V!”
“@Dr_ThomasZ @thesheetztweetz @SpaceX Due to its size & ability to return science instruments even from deep space, Starship will enable a whole new class of science missions”

“@Erdayastronaut @SpaceX Thanks. Starship, which aspires to be fully & immediately reusable in super heavy class, is a truly 🥜🚀. Even though I’m immersed in Starship/Raptor design & build 7 days/week, it still doesn’t feel real.”
“@Patryn23 @Blobifie It will take them over 5 years to reach Falcon 9 levels of reliability and production/launch rate, by which time SpaceX will have transitioned to Starship and be doing over 100 times the annual payload to orbit of Falcon”
“RT @teslaownersSV: BREAKING: SpaceX Starship set for launch on August 24 https://t.co/tLRpThZ9lp”
“RT @SpaceX: Starship’s flight trajectory for today’s test https://t.co/UeshY3RHQf”
“@Erdayastronaut @sivanithu @tobyliiiiiiiiii @cabral_psyd @imatsb @thesheetztweetz @SciGuySpace @Some1gee @RocketLab @Peter_J_Beck Production is by *far* the hard part. That’s why I’m not super worried about early Starship failures. Initial serial numbers are suboptimal, so would be lawn ornaments if they survived. That said, as lawn ornaments go, they’re pretty sweet …”

“@Erdayastronaut The Super Heavy booster is only needed on Earth, so think of this as just “Starship” & sometimes it needs a boost, hence Super Heavy”
“@CanzyD High probability of this particular rocket getting destroyed by Dragon supersonic abort test. Otherwise, at least 20 or 30 missions for Falcon 9. Starship will take over before the F9 fleet reaches end of life.”
“RT @johnkrausphotos: Starship's Super Heavy booster is 232 feet tall — three feet taller than an entire Falcon 9. After launch, it returns…”
“RT @teslaownersSV: In order to become multi planetary we need rapid reusable rockets. Starship is the first ever rocket designed to get u…”
“@LifeboatHQ Doubling diameter increases mass 4X, but difficulty of simultaneously building & launching rocket of that size is >>4X. In retrospect, <9m diameter for Starship might have been wise. Current size is ~5200 ton stack mass & ~7500 ton-F thrust, which is more than double Saturn V.”
“@Erdayastronaut @teslaownersSV @NASA SpaceX has a lot of experience berthing & now docking with @Space_Station, which is very difficult. Orbital refilling should in theory be easier, since Starships dock with themselves & will be uncrewed at first.”
“RT @DimaZeniuk: “Starship is a damn tall rocket.” — Elon Musk https://t.co/zQpOz5KuU8”
“@Robotbeat @John_Gardi @SpaceX This will sound implausible, but I think there’s a path to build Starship / Super Heavy for less than Falcon 9”

“@lrocket Definitely for super high pressure tanks, but a stainless steel Starship is roughly similar in mass to a carbon fiber version (which is where we started out) and way cheaper/easier to make. Stainless gets that massive bump in strength at cryo and needs much less shielding for…”

“RT @SciGuySpace: Before Starship, no orbital rocket stage had ever made a soft, vertical landing back on Earth.”
“@Alejandro_DebH @macshlibber @SpaceflightNow Advancing humanity’s understanding of the Universe is a fundamental motivator for SpaceX! Starship can put giant 🔭 in orbit & on moon. With an occluder, could image 🌏 in other star systems.”

“@John_Gardi @w0lfyxD @Robotbeat @SpaceX Starship & Super Heavy will press tanks autogenously even in version 1. Very important, as helium costs more than oxygen on Falcon, even though liquid oxygen is 2/3 vehicle mass & helium weighs basically nothing.”
“@RenataKonkoly @lrocket Yeah, game-changer! We do still use COPVs for a few things on Starship, like nitrogen purge and engine spin start.”
“34th launch & landing of the same rocket [@SpaceX] Falcon 9’s fleet leader booster completes its 34th launch and landing”
“@martinengwicht @macodiseas @katlinegrey Exactly. That’s the critical point for Starship/BFR: more payload than the biggest rocket ever made, but for less money per launch than the smallest (orbital) rocket. Without something that lowers orbital flight cost by 100X, humanity will never be a multiplanet species.”
