“A fully reusable orbital rocket is the critical breakthrough needed to make life multiplanetary”
“Special version of Starship: delete heat shield & flaps, add landing legs. This could (of course) only be used between trans lunar orbit and lunar surface, given no heat shield or flaps.”
“@SciGuySpace Starship is clearly not causing harm to the local environment, so this is just common sense. You can’t even tell the difference between a before and after launch photo, except that the rocket is no longer on the launch mount!”
“@matthewdmarsden @BuffyvDarkangel @cenkuygur You are proving your point by identifying the irrationality of the far left”
“Starship is by far the most powerful flying object ever created”
“@AdrianDittmann @Starlink 💫”
“@LadoBitnar I am highly confident that we can send several uncrewed Starships to Mars in 2 years. If those ships don’t increment the crater count on Mars, then crewed ships can be sent in 4 years.”
“The biggest technology challenge remaining for Starship is a fully & immediately reusable heat shield. Being able to land the ship, refill propellant & launch right away with no refurbishment or laborious inspection. That is the acid test.”
“@kwharrison13 @jshieber It would not have been possible for SpaceX to spend so much money effectively. Good chance it would have been counterproductive.”
“@DonaldJTrumpJr @SpaceX @realDonaldTrump 🚀”
“Successful ocean landing of Starship! We will do one more ocean landing of the ship. If that goes well, then SpaceX will attempt to catch the ship with the tower.”
“8 minutes to liftoff of Starship! https://t.co/Ngu7VnFsh9 https://x.com/i/broadcasts/1RDGlydZAeOJL”
“Starship will go halfway around the world in ~45 mins”
“Honored to have President @realDonaldTrump at our Starship launch!”
“@margomartin @realDonaldTrump @SpaceX Should be an exciting day!”
“The chart below is due for an update, but is roughly accurate. Flight 6 liftoff thrust is ~7500 tons and mass is ~5000 tons. The tanker version of Starship V3 will weigh over 7000 tons. By comparison, the heaviest Boeing 747 is less than 500 tons fully loaded.”
“@rookisaacman @SpaceX Yeah”
“Starbase is an area that experiences storms and hurricanes that are far more serious than Starship launches. The real headline of this article is boring, because it would say “Starship Launches Cause No Damage” 😂”
“A fully reusable rocket with orbital refilling is the critical breakthrough needed to make life multiplanetary. For the first time in 4.5 billion years.”
“Current Starship is more than twice as powerful as the Saturn V Moon rocket. Starship V3, which hopefully flies in about a year, will be 3X more powerful.”
“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.”
“Starlink is how we are paying for humanity to get to Mars. That’s why there is a Hohmann transfer orbit diagram on the Starlink router.”
“If you look closely, you can see a human walking around the base of the rocket. Each Raptor rocket engine produces twice as much thrust as all 4 engines on a 747. There are 33 Raptor engines powering the Starship rocket booster. https://t.co/VHLGlJWtoJ”
“Unless civilization collapses, @SpaceX will make life multiplanetary”
“Congrats SpaceX team on completing 3 successful orbital launches in 20 hours!”
“Giant rockets need giant rocket factories https://t.co/CcKQsojMst”
“Starship Flight 6 tomorrow https://t.co/oOdRG30qOl”
“@ajtourville @Starlink Cool”
“@Polymarket @SpaceX That is roughly my guess for success too. Over time, it will become ~100%, but these are still early days.”
“With Starship, humanity finally has a rocket design capable of making life multiplanetary”
“Watch the Starship flight live on 𝕏!”
“Tuesday flight of Starship looks promising”
“@SpaceX69_420 @ajtourville 🎯”
“@MarshaBlackburn 🤔”
“@bscholl @boomaero @Starlink Cool”
“Lightning quick Internet from Starlink”
“How @Starlink works”
“@SawyerMerritt @Starlink True”
“@MarshaBlackburn Yes 🇺🇸🇺🇸”
“Great video of Starship Super Heavy Booster landing as seen from Mexico! 🇲🇽 https://t.co/R695MUaicc”
“Getting ready for Starship Flight 6!”
“Governing Mars will be up to the Martians, but these are some ideas”
“@fordnation @Starlink Cool!”
“@ajtourville @Starlink Cool”
“Another batch of Starlinks in orbit”
“Another Falcon launch https://t.co/hrsIMXGxYf https://x.com/i/broadcasts/1mnxeAXBnWqxX”
“It is the only way to build a large enough city for Mars to be self-sustaining”
“Starship Flight 6 coming up soon! https://t.co/WgtLjxsP52”
“20 more Starlinks in orbit”
