“@TJ_Cooney Wow, 2011 seems like eons ago! With fairing recovery, Falcon is ~80% reusable, but reflight takes several days & requires boats. Starship will be fully reusable with booster reflight possible every few hours & ship reflight every 8 hours. No boats needed.”
“@Erdayastronaut @LevEakins More accurate word is “propellant”, rather than “fuel”. Starship is ~78% liquid oxygen, ~22% fuel. Propellant cost is of primary importance for a fully reusable rocket, so reusable rockets want high thrust, as thrust below T/W of 1 is irrelevant.”
“@WholeMarsBlog @NASASpaceflight @BBCAmos Higher structural margins overall are needed for reuse, plus: Booster - Grid fins for aero control - Boostback & landing propellant tanks - Protecting engines from entry loads Ship - Body flaps for aero control - Deorbit & landing propellant tanks - Heat shield”

“@SciGuySpace Good chance that Starship achieves full stack reusability in 2025, which is the critical breakthrough needed to make life multiplanetary”

“Really tempting to redesign upper stage for return too (Falcon Heavy has enough power), but prob best to stay focused on the Mars rocket”
“@ZainS180 @VikingRocket @WholeMarsBlog Cybertruck is intentionally an insane technology bandwagon”
“@Erdayastronaut Making a fully reusable orbital rocket of any design is one of the hardest engineering problems of all time. Much, much harder than going to the Moon, which is why it still hasn’t been solved. I am cautiously optimistic that Starship will achieve full reusability next year.”

“@peterrhague No, we’re going straight to Mars. The Moon is a distraction. Mass to orbit is the key metric, thereafter mass to Mars surface. The former needs to be in the megaton to orbit per year range to build a self-sustaining colony on Mars.”

“@Teslaconomics Starship already reached orbital velocity, which is success for all other rockets. Achieving full reusability will be profound not for reasons of valuation, but because it will enable consciousness to extend permanently beyond Earth.”

“@WholeMarsBlog @Herbert_Diess Fuel cells should be called fool sells! Such a silly choice for cars. Not great even for a rocket upper stage imo, but at least not absurd.”

“@peterrhague This utter moron also doesn’t understand that Starship is designed to be fully reusable, unlike pointless rockets that are not. In expendable mode, add at least 100 metric tons to the payload capability.”

“@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!”

“@Astro_Elliott @LifeboatHQ Once you have rapidly reusable rockets of sufficient size to carry >100 tons of payload, it is not clear that cost per ton to orbit/moon/Mars improves with a larger rocket. Aircraft, for example, have moved away from 747/A380 to 777, which has ~100 tons of payload.”
“@esherifftv True 😂 Biggest rocket of all time by far and the first design capable of colonizing Mars, but public awareness is ironically tiny.”

It’s very hard. I’m spending crazy hours on Starship design/production. It is truly an honor to work with such great engineers. SN4 is almost done 😀”
“RT @teslaownersSV: Starship is by far the most powerful flying object ever made. Each Raptor rocket engine produces twice as much thrust…”
“@MarioNawfal I’m excited about the future upgrade to Starship that will extend the rocket length and take total thrust to 10,000 tons, which is ~3X Saturn V!”

“@SamTwits @Erdayastronaut @PPathole @vincent13031925 Long chain hydrocarbons, like kerosene, have excellent volumetric energy density, but what you really want for rockets is best way to bind hydrogen, which is CH4. Also, easy to make & store CH4+O2 from CO2+H2O, which are abundant on Mars.”

“@LifeboatHQ Doubling diameter increases mass 4X, but difficulty of simultaneously building & launching rocket of that size is >>4X. In retrospect, <9m diameter for Starship might have been wise. Current size is ~5200 ton stack mass & ~7500 ton-F thrust, which is more than double Saturn V.”
