@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!

@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.

@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.

@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.

@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.

@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.

@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.

@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!

@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.
