“Yes [@teslaownersSV] “Elon Musk Instead of buying an island or a yacht, he wants to keep putting his chips on the table. He decides he wants to send a rocket to Mars. His friends were like, ‘What are you talking about?’ And Elon says, ‘If we don’t become a spacefaring civilization, human”

“Starship Super Heavy Booster https://t.co/zOXgiq9bJ7”

“Interstage extension for hot gas venting added to enable Starship to turn on its engines while booster engines still firing!”

“Voting for Trump is voting for Mars! Unless we stop the slow strangulation by overregulation happening in America, we will never become a multiplanetary civilization.”

“Making life multiplanetary expands the scope & scale of consciousness. It also enables us to backup the biosphere, protecting all life as we know it from a calamity on Earth. Humanity is life’s steward, as no other species can transport life to Mars. We can’t let them down.”

“Starship is the biggest flying object ever made [@teslaownersSV] Rockets of the world, The scale of the Starship is insane. 🤯🤯”

“It is [@teslaownersSV] “Starship is the key to making life multiplanetary and protecting the light of consciousness. Elon Musk )”

“Starship is the largest flying object ever made and it will continue to grow [@teslaownersSV] Rockets of the world,,, The scale of the Starship is insane. 🤯🤯”

“128m (420 ft) is inevitable, as foretold in the prophecy [@teslaownersSV] Starship the largest and most rocket ever built. )”

“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.”

“Starship V3 booster & ship will be ready for their first test flight in a few weeks [@XFreeze] Both Starship and the Super Heavy Booster have successfully completed the static fire tests and are ready to take to the skies Every test brings us one step closer to making humanity multi-planetary "Engineering is the closest thing to magic that exists in the real world" —”

“Yes [@XFreeze] Elon Musk reveals the deeper purpose of becoming a multiplanetary species: “Having two planets that are both self-sustaining and strong is going to be incredibly important for the long-term survival of civilization The goal is not just to visit Mars - it’s to ensure the light”

“🚀 💫 [@SawyerMerritt] Watching the Starship booster be caught by the first tower and the ship be caught by the second tower later this year is going to be beautiful ☀️ )”

“Tower arms are lifting Starship onto Super Heavy Booster https://t.co/kJacH9sRBI”

“Hustling to get Starship Booster 7 back to pad to test outer ring of 20 engines”

“We have a lot of star things 😂 [@DimaZeniuk] ELON MUSK: “We kind of have a lot of Star things, you know, so we get Starlink, Starship. Starbase is probably the coolest place on Earth. It's only like three feet above sea level. So we built a gigantic rocket factory and two giant launch towers down by the river, literally… https://x.com/i/web/status/1998658224027771107”

“Kids love using Grok Imagine, because they can speak their ideas and watch the images update immediately [@imPenny2x] Grok imagine collaboration with my 6 year old daughter. Prompt: A green dragon flying a rocket ship to mars to meet Elon Musk. He’s in space and there are a bunch of stars that look like robots. He’s gonna make an invention where you can golf on the moon without the balls”

“Yes [@cb_doge] For the first time ever, there is a rocket capable of establishing a permanent base on Mars. )”

“Yup [@cb_doge] "Starlink internet is what's being used to pay for humanity getting to Mars. So I'd like to thank everyone out there who bought Starlink, because you're helping secure the future of civilization and helping make life multiplanetary." 一 Elon Musk”

“@SmokeAwayyy With booster ultimately flying up to ~20 times per day & ship flying up to ~5 times per day. Useful load to Mars is ~150 metric tons, but requires ~5 orbital refilling tanker flights. Target: >1 megaton of cargo & people delivered to Mars, so that it becomes self-sustaining.”

“Grok Imagine prompt: The bare necessities with a jovial grizzly bear in a sleek, silver spacesuit on Mars, rockets gleaming in the background under a crimson sunset glow. https://t.co/ECqOMFX1za”

“@engineers_feed Due to lower gravity, you can travel from surface of Mars to surface of Earth fairly easily with a single stage rocket. Earth to Mars is vastly harder.”

“@WholeMarsBlog It used to be: “Internet guy will fail at rockets/cars!” Now it is: “Rockets/cars guy will fail at Internet!” Literally from same media outlets 🤣🤣”

“@farzyness The priority shift is because I’m worried that a natural or manmade catastrophe stops the resupply ships coming from Earth, causing the colony to die out. We can make the Moon city self-growing in less than 10 years, but Mars will take 20+ years due to the 26 month iteration… https://t.co/stiaf8Tkpu https://x.com/i/web/status/2020910733697954282”

“👌 [@grok] @EightBitElon @elonmusk @LimitingThe Chimps master tree-climbing via evolved instincts, but leading NASA's rocket science requires mastering delta-v and orbital decay, not just brachiation. Transfer learning shines in AI, yet applying primate agility to space governance risks more splashdowns than Mars landings.”

“@PPathole Starship booster, largest flying object ever designed, will be caught out of sky by launch tower. Big step forward, as reflight can be done in under an hour.”

“@PPathole Starship is the key to making life multiplanetary & protecting the light of consciousness”

“@RocketRick @Twitter Social media in general, especially Twitter, were eroding civilization. If civilization collapses before Mars becomes self-sustaining, then nothing else matters. Human consciousness is gone.”

“@aubreystrobel Yes, public viewing of Starship is easy from South Padre Island and the view is excellent. Also, the rocket factory and launch towers are right by a public highway.”

“Mars V2 plan coming soon, which I think addresses the most fundamental flaw in V1: how to pay for development & operation of giant rockets https://t.co/yaITdVdpEc https://x.com/sciam/status/875756138121310208”

“@JonErlichman 5 years ago. We need to accelerate progress towards fully reusable rockets. Cost per ton to orbit needs to improve by >1000% from where Falcon is today for there to be a self-sustaining city on Mars.”

“@NewsfromScience @ScienceVisuals Starship will be an incredible enabler for science. Full reusability & high production rate drive several orders of magnitude improvement in $/kg to orbit & beyond. Next gen Starlink constellation is primary user of this rocket, so science doesn’t need to cover fixed cost.”

“@CSI_Starbase @LabPadre High-strength stainless steel armor is needed to protect the launch stand from the world’s biggest blowtorch! Even steel will be eroded fast by the Starship booster plume. We will need to make a water-cooled steel jacket to achieve full reusability.”

“@flcnhvy @thatdogegirl @WhatsupFranks @TeslaGong Becoming multiplanetary is one of the greatest filters. Only now, 4.5 billion years after Earth formed, is it possible. How long this window to reach Mars remains open is uncertain. Perhaps a long time, perhaps not. In case it is the latter, we should act now.”

“@Globe_Mars @CNBC We must safeguard the future of life by transitioning to sustainable energy on Earth & becoming multiplanetary via Mars. It’s not clear how much time we have to do these things, but sooner is definitely better.”

“@SciGuySpace So many war stories over 18 eventful years! But Starship can make life multiplanetary, which is what really matters for safeguarding the light of consciousness & life as we know it. 100X improvement over Falcon/Dragon.”

“@engineers_feed Indirectly, an electric rocket is possible by using electricity to convert CO2+H2O —> CH4+O2. This will be needed on Mars even for early missions & Earth too over time.”

“@imPenny2x And deliver over 200 tons of payload to a useful orbit with full & rapid reusability. 50 rockets flying every 3 days on average enables over a megaton of payload to orbit per year – enough to build a self-sustaining city on Mars.”

“@waitbutwhy Max payload of Starship V1 in expendable mode (like the other rockets) is ~200 tons. V3 is expected to be ~200 tons with full reusability and ~400 tons expendable. Length will grow by 20 to 30 meters and thrust to ~10k tons.”

“@EdKrassen Civilization needs to retain its current technology level until Mars is self-sufficient, which could be achieved within ~20 years. If we become multiplanetary and then multistellar our civilization will last millions of years. If not, maybe just a few hundred years.”

“RT @ElonClipsX: Elon Musk: I didn't need $180 million, so I thought I'd spend a bunch of it on a rocket to Mars. “In order to be highly mo…”

“@smartass505 @ZainS180 @VikingRocket @WholeMarsBlog Oh man, this year has been such a supply chain nightmare & it’s not over! I will provide an updated product roadmap on next earnings call.”

“@engineers_feed Hell of a rocket! Probably would have succeeded if Korolev had not died. Hopefully, Starship is more fortunate.”

“@ZainS180 @VikingRocket @WholeMarsBlog Cybertruck will reach far into a post-apocalyptic future & bring that technology to now”

“@RajveerJolly We are developing the interplanetary rocket and spaceship to allow anyone to travel to the moon, Mars & beyond, regardless of nationality”

“@ErcXspace And ship will be caught by Mechazilla too. As with booster, no landing legs. Those are only needed for moon & Mars until there is local infrastructure.”

“@PPathole @Teslarati @13ericralph31 If we are able to make life self-sustaining on Mars, we will have passed one of the greatest filters. That then sets us up to become interstellar. Earth is ~4.5B years old, but life is still not multiplanetary and it is extremely uncertain how much time is left to become so.”

“@Erdayastronaut Great shot! Btw, Starship Super Heavy will not have an entry burn. Delta-v is shifted more to the ship, so booster entry Q & heating is lower.”

“@OliOnOrbit Falcon 9 is technically a heavy lift rocket. If flown as an expendable, payload to orbit is similar to Delta IV Heavy (~25 tons to LEO). And Starship is ~10 times bigger.”

“@ajtourville A stainless steel Starship is essentially the same mass as an advanced carbon fiber or aluminum-lithium version, given that it is a reusable rocket, as steel can handle much higher heat loads, requiring less shielding, and its strength increases dramatically at cryogenic…”
