“@S3XYstarship @PPathole @Gfilche @MadeInTheUSANJ Yeah, although I hesitate to admit that, because there are a lot of people that foam at the mouth if you even mention his name!”

“@PeterDiamandis Let’s get Starship V3 flying repeatedly and then sure”
“RT @teslaownersSV: The scale of the Starship is insane and 🤯🤯🤯 https://t.co/6k9Ky0ZPMZ”
“@MarcusHouse The next stage of the Starship program should be called The Two Towers”
“@Adamklotz_ @BryceSpaceTech Starlink missions will move to Starship”
“@TeslaHype @GailAlfarATX Starship is intended to carry a lot of people on tens of thousands of flights, so needs to be extremely reliable over time. It will be.”
“@StarshipGazer This launch mount is not easy to build”
“@GailAlfarATX Starship has 33 engines! If an engine failure is isolated, then many engines greatly increases reliability (Starship only loses <3% of thrust). If not, then reliability is terrible. The difference is at least 2 orders of magnitude.”
“@NASASpaceflight Starship is a hard problem”
“@Cmdr_Hadfield @astroscale_HQ We could make a hungry hippo version of Starship to chomp and deorbit space debris”
“RT @cb_doge: All 10 Starship Launches Starship 1: Apr 20, 2023 Starship 2: Nov 18, 2023 Starship 3: Mar 14, 2024 Starship 4: Jun 6, 2024 S…”
“@kimbal Starship can enable a permanently crewed science station on the Moon, which would be super cool! Moonbase Alpha!!”
“RT @cb_doge: Incredible view of Earth from Starship. https://t.co/2wzTVA12Wt”
“@cnunezimages A super reliable, light, reusable heat shield is the biggest technical challenge remaining for Starship”
“@teslaownersSV Starship probably grows by >20% long-term”
“RT @spacesudoer: Starship fully stacked for Flight 9. Launch NET May 27. https://t.co/GdM6aljIRU”
“@GailAlfarATX @SawyerMerritt Wow, working on this problem has soaked up a lot of my time & brain cycles over the past ~7 years! This and Starship engines are currently the two hardest problems.”
“RT @teslaownersSV: Starship will make us multi planetary https://t.co/lFxQuHLWjV”
“@rmcentush Starship could deliver 100GW/year to high Earth orbit within 4 to 5 years if we can solve the other parts of the equation. 100TW/year is possible from a lunar base producing solar-powered AI satellites locally and accelerating them to escape velocity with a mass driver.”
“@RationalEtienne @Erdayastronaut @Twisi80 Starship is literally more pointy because of that movie haha”
“@ajtourville The main reason for coming in belly first is due to the subsonic orientation being a natural outcome of the center of mass and center of pressure being where they are needed for Starship to survive hypersonic heating by maintaining a ~70 degree angle of attack. Can’t come in…”
“@spacesudoer Shana is awesome. Many years ago, I asked her to lead the early VTOL development of Falcon (aka Grasshopper) and she did great work. Now, Shana is a senior member of the Starship engineering team.”
“RT @SawyerMerritt: Elon Musk just made a surprise appearance on tonight’s Starship livestream: https://t.co/UFFqofrdwO”
“@S3XYstarship @slashdot DoJ Antitrust @JusticeATR”
“@SciGuySpace His plan makes no sense. Just a worse version of Apollo. Starship will enable a permanently occupied moon base and even a city on the moon one day.”
“@SciGuySpace Yes, detailed review of the first orbital Starship, explaining the pros & cons of each design decision”
“@tetsuoai Starlink V3 launches with Starship will carry 25 to 50 times more bandwidth than a Falcon flight with V2, depending on how you count it. Starship will also launch 100+ times more per year than Falcon (mostly AI sats). Probably ~20k comms satellites per year at ~2 tons/sat. High”
“@MarcusHouseGame @bcart03 @nextspaceflight @NASASpaceflight Starship legs are one of the hardest problems. Externally mounted legs require shielding, which adds mass. Wider stance adds mass. Shock absorbers add mass. That said, we need better legs.”
“@Matt_Lowne Forward flaps will change a lot in upcoming versions of Starship – smaller & more leeward”
“@Erdayastronaut @tobyliiiiiiiiii @austinbarnard45 @SuperclusterHQ I’m in Boca every week, so maybe we could talk then. Given that Starship is not exactly subtle, this is more of a design clarification to match what people can already see.”
“@Teslarati Wouldn’t read too much into this. Likely to be fewer F9/FH flights, but possibly an order of magnitude more than these numbers in Starship flights.”
“@SciGuySpace Starship is making good progress”
“@Some1gg Transpiration cooling will be added wherever we see erosion of the shield. Starship needs to be ready to fly again immediately after landing. Zero refurbishment.”
“@austinbarnard45 @SuperclusterHQ Great pics! That we now have the beginnings of a Starship production system is most meaningful.”
“RT @DimaZeniuk: BREAKING: Elon Musk will give a live Starship update on Sunday, covering progress so far and future engineering, production…”
“@MarioNawfal Starship V3 should be capable of close to 200 tons of payload when operating as a tanker”
“@flcnhvy @SciGuySpace F9 iteration slowed down as payloads became too important to risk. Little change is expected going forward with F9/FH or Dragon. Starship production & thus iterative improvement will be much faster than Falcon. Driving hard for fully reusable orbital flight this year!”
“RT @johnkrausphotos: Starship with humans for scale https://t.co/CG4DYInCd7”
“@Erdayastronaut @robert_zubrin Unfortunately, Starship unlikely to survive LEO entry intact without shielding on windward side, but none required on leeward. Even windward shielding is very light.”
“@SawyerMerritt Starship & next-gen Starlink satellites are key, but much risk lies ahead before those are working at scale”
“@PPathole @jack Still early stages on that. Getting Starship reliably to orbit, then achieving full & immediate reusability of both stages is by far top priority.”
“RT @Ivar_A2428: Starship looks like something straight out of a science fiction movie. https://t.co/Oiq4TM8ent”
“RT @teslaownersSV: Starship = Hope https://t.co/JURtqazQBT”
“RT @DimaZeniuk: Standing under the Starship https://t.co/OvhtU1Odcx”
“RT @SERobinsonJr: Starship. Human for scale. https://t.co/dJrCjBaDbM”
“@Kristennetten We plan to move older Starships close to the fence, so people can take pics with them if they want”
“RT @spacesudoer: Starship Flight 9 Infographic. https://t.co/sUYGwdSUkt”
“@teslaownersSV Starship will get taller. It’s a little short rn.”
“@esherifftv @SciGuySpace Starship will enable a permanently occupied moon base”
“@chazman Starlink maintained the connection while Starship was moving at ~17,000 mph through super heated plasma, which greatly impedes the signal”
