“@BLKMDL3 @S3XYstarship @IWill_Travel @AOC Yes, but this is actually a good thing. It has been raining money on fools for too long. Some bankruptcies need to happen. Also, all the Covid stay-at-home stuff has tricked people into thinking that you don’t actually need to work hard. Rude awakening inbound!”

“@RenataKonkoly Maybe we should make an actual Starship model that dispenses pez for our merch store”
“@DogecoinRise Starship Super Heavy”
“With the version 3 Starlink satellites, which start launching on Starship in 6 to 9 months, we should be able to get latency below 20ms. The new, much larger satellites will be at ~350km instead of ~550km altitude, which cuts latency due to speed of light down to ~5ms. Also,”
“@JessePeltan For anything to do with engineering and science for sure, but Imperial has a certain romantic charm for civilian use. I set a more intuitive variant of metric for Starship: tons for force and mass, bar for pressure. It’s easier to do mental math, eg thrust to mass ratio, than”
“@ChrisG_NSF We are proceeding very carefully. If there is a RUD on the pad, Starship progress will be set back by ~6 months.”
“@SirineAti @mn_google Starship will be ready to fly next month. I was in the high bay & mega bay late last night reviewing progress.”
“@teslaownersSV The Starship V4 ship will have 3 more vacuum engines, making the total stack engine count 42, as foretold in the prophecy”
“@Teslarati The source info is incorrect. Starship & Raptor development is being done out of our HQ in Hawthorne, CA. We are building the Starship prototypes locally at our launch site in Texas, as their size makes them very difficult to transport.”
“@MarcusHouse Starship will enable humanity to become a multiplanet species”
“@austinbarnard45 Weld esthetics will improve greatly in upcoming Starships”
“@cb_doge Crazy that Starship is real!”
“@ApoStructura In about 3 years or so, Starship will launch more than once per hour”
“@REQNews Yes, we can fly Starship around space & chomp up debris with the moving fairing door”
“@Erdayastronaut Everyday Astronaut is a great account to follow for Starship and space matters in general”
“@aaronburnett Starship will profoundly affect the destiny of humanity”
“@alifarhat79 @alx Couldn’t sleep last night because of Starship launch”
“@SirineAti @mn_google We will have a second Starship stack ready to fly in August and then monthly thereafter”
“@austinbarnard45 Starship SN6 flew asimilar hop to SN5, but it was a much smoother & faster operation”
“@_opencv_ It’s all part of broader vision/strategy 😂 Starship 10 is launching on Sunday. Grok 5 begins training next month. Tesla Autopilot V14 also next month. Long-term strategy is compelling.”
“RT @cb_doge: 🚨 BREAKING: Elon Musk watching the Starship 9 test flight from the control center. https://t.co/eldff8EdMX”
“@Teslarati @13ericralph31 @StarshipGazer As backdrops go, this is a good one”
“@thesheetztweetz Work needed between flights is less & less, as shown by shortening time between reflights. Required work between flights for Starship & Super Heavy is zero.”
“@NASASpaceflight 39A is hallowed spaceflight ground – no place more deserving of a Starship launch pad! Will have similar, but improved, ground systems & tower to Starbase.”
“@DJSnM Orbital precession takes a long time. With Starship & Starlink V2.0, hopefully we can direct inject to target orbit.”
“@MarioNawfal This Starship is designed to traverse our entire solar system and beyond to the cloud of objects surrounding us. A future Starship, much larger and more advanced, will travel to other star systems.”
“@Erdayastronaut Yeah, Starship will be a tiny dot at 20km. Hard to see with naked eye. We’ll do lots of flights.”
“@Erdayastronaut Starship design goal is 3 flights/day avg rate, so ~1000 flights/year at >100 tons/flight, so every 10 ships yield 1 megaton per year to orbit”
“@Erdayastronaut Starship catch is probably flight 13 to 15, depending on how well V3 flights go”
“@NASASpaceflight @BBCAmos Over time, we might get orbital payload up to ~150 tons with full reusabity. If Starship then launched as an expendable, payload would be ~250 tons. What isn’t obvious from this chart is that Starship/Super Heavy is much denser than Saturn V.”
“@JaneidyEve You’re welcome! Was a fun recruiting event. Great to see all the excitement about helping build Starships.”
“@TheTeslaBull @BLKMDL3 @S3XYstarship @IWill_Travel @AOC Based on past experience, about 12 to 18 months. Companies that are inherently negative cash flow (ie value destroyers) need to die, so that they stop consuming resources.”
“@S3XYstarship @SawyerMerritt I work. Yes, I am testing Starlink on the plane. Some polishing needed, but it’s working quite well.”
“@flcnhvy Starship steel decision came first. We were going to use titanium skins for Cybertruck, but cold-rolled 30X stainless is much stronger.”
“@DimaZeniuk Starship will launch over 10,000 satellites every year”
“@S3XYstarship @ACTBrigitte He’s fine, I guess. Does seem like he’s spending a lot of time in the hot tub these days. If he wants to get to orbit, less partying and more work would be advisable.”
“@aakashgupta Starship V4 Tanker version will deliver >200 tons of propellant per flight, so more like 5 or 6 tanker flights to refill the lunar transit Starship in orbit. Shouldn’t be too much of a problem if we’re doing >10k flights/year.”
“@SawyerMerritt Cybertrucks get preferential parking, as they look much more futuristic than normal cars and are poetically aligned with the stainless steel of Starship”
“RT @teslaownersSV: Starship will make us multi planetary https://t.co/S9bgLgRsh5”
“RT @teslaownersSV: The starship is the largest flying object ever made, and it was able to be caught by chopsticks https://t.co/iMkJAWGsOz”
“@justpaulinelol Maybe on Starship? It’s def got the payload capacity …”
“@Erdayastronaut @inspiration4x Yeah. We’d use our Ka parabolics or laser links for Dragon, Starship or other spacecraft as soon as they got above cloud level.”
“@Erdayastronaut @Caspar_Stanley No, bottom static aero pushes engine section back, counteracting Starship’s low center of mass on reentry caused by the engine section. Aiming for 60 to 70 deg angle of attack during high heating portion of flight. Don’t want to reenter with engines blasted by plasma.”
“@DannyLaShep With steel membrane wings like a Dragon, we may be able to lower Starship’s orbital reentry temp to ~1000 degrees C, which would allow the whole surface to be uncooled bare metal”
“@kevinrose @Starlink And it will improve significantly when Starship starts launching the third generation satellites at 350km altitude (5 ms speed of light round trip latency) with larger antennas that allow for multi-gigabit bandwidth”
“@teslaownersSV Starship V4 will have 42 engines when 3 more Raptors are added to a significantly longer ship. That will fly in 2027. Starship V3 is a massive upgrade from the current V2 and should be through production and testing by end of year, with heavy flight activity next year.”
“@YunTaTsai1 Yes. In about 6 or 7 years, there will be days where Starship launches more than 24 times in 24 hours.”
“@grzf_ Starship is kinda Gundam”
“@DJSnM We could stretch the Falcon Heavy upper stage & increase this a lot, but FH already covers all known payloads. Starship, especially with orbital refilling & dedicated deep space variants (no heatshield, flaps or header tanks) will take this up orders of magnitude.”
“@NASASpaceflight Starship/Super Heavy, which is ~10X mass of Zenit, will mostly launch from ocean spaceports long-term”
