“Since your handle is “Whole Mars”, perhaps this lengthy reply is apropos: Getting the cost per ton to the surface of Mars low enough that humanity has the resources to make life multiplanetary requires a roughly 1000X improvement in rocket & spacecraft technology. Recent US…”
“At 5000 tons, Starship is the largest flying object ever made. Thrust is more than double the Saturn V moon rocket. It is the first spaceship design capable of making life multiplanetary. Goal of the next mission is to make it through the meteorically extreme heat of reentry.”

“RT @teslaownersSV: “Starship is capable of building a city on Mars and a city on the moon. That's what it's designed to do. But we're being…”
“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.”
“RT @teslaownersSV: WHY STARSHIP NEEDS TO BE SO MASSIVE: ELON MUSK EXPLAINS THE SCALE FOR MARS Elon has repeatedly emphasized that Starship…”
“Yes [@cb_doge] Starship is the first ever rocket design capable of making life multiplanetary. )”
“@annerajb @highlyaaronic Orbital refilling is critical for high payload to moon or Mars. Initially just Starship to Starship, later dedicated tankers.”
“With Starship, humanity finally has a rocket design capable of making life multiplanetary”
“The Starship launch tower that catches the giant rocket booster is basically Mechazilla”
“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. )”
“@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.”
“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)”
“@rookisaacman Starship is the first rocket/spaceship with the potential to make life multiplanetary”
“@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…”
“@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.”
“RT @EvaFoxU: Starship is the first ever rocket design capable of making life multiplanetary! Becoming multiplanetary would be the top 10 b…”
“RT @tvd33c: With Starship, humanity has a rocket design capable of making life multiplanetary. https://t.co/36EJhy2FVJ”
“@LytovchenkoSerg @John_Gardi @Erdayastronaut Rocket booster temperatures won’t go much above 600 Kelvin on hottest parts of main body & maybe around 1200K on base, which uncooled steel can handle. Starship is around 1700K for a Mach 25 entry, so needs shielding of some kind.”

“Starship will make life multiplanetary, preserving life as know from extinction events on Earth, so long as it is not smothered by bureaucracy. There is more government regulatory smothering every year. If this continues, all large projects in the United States will be illegal.…”

“Starship booster makes soft landing in water, next landing will be caught by the tower arms”
“Looks like Starship might fly on Sunday! This the largest & most powerful flying object ever made at more than double the thrust of the Saturn V Moon rocket. We will try to catch it upon return to launch site using the Mechazilla arms like giant chopsticks (like Karate Kid)!”

“Starship is now more than twice as powerful as the Saturn V Moon rocket and, in a year or so, it will be three times as powerful at 10,000 metric tons of thrust. More importantly, it is designed to be fully reusable, burning ~80% liquid oxygen and ~20% liquid methane (very low…”

“Successful Starship Super Heavy Booster static fire!”
“If we make life multiplanetary, there may come a day when some plants & animals die out on Earth, but are still alive on Mars”

“It is the first planet-colonizer class rocket [@teslaownersSV] The scale of the Starship is insane and 🤯🤯🤯”
“Even if we fail at creating a Mars colony that can grow without continuous support from Earth, the absurdly ambitious nature of the goal nonetheless results in the creation of alien-level technology that is crushingly better than competitors who merely aim for Earth orbit.”

“Installing Starship booster engines for first orbital flight https://t.co/yhqrNFBclh”
“The objectives for Starship Flight 6 are: 1. Restart of Raptor engines in vacuum. 2. Daylight landing of the ship. 3. Higher peak heating (steeper) reentry. 4. Faster/harder booster catch. There are thousands of small design changes also being tested.”
“Starship achieved a precise, soft landing in the ocean, paving the way for return to launch site and being caught by the tower arms, like the booster. Full & rapid reusability improves the cost of access to orbit & beyond by >10,000%. It is the fundamental technology…”

“Earth’s gravity is strong enough to make reaching Mars extremely hard, but not impossible [@fermatslibrary] Why Super-Earthlings Might Never Reach the Stars In the rocket equation, the fuel required to reach orbit grows exponentially with gravity. If Earth’s gravity were 15% stronger, space programs would likely be impossible.”
