“@junshiguancha They have added aspects of Starship, such as use of stainless steel and methalox, to a Falcon 9 architecture, which would enable it to beat Falcon 9. But Starship in another league.”

“@Rainmaker1973 The Starship stack is the largest flying object by far at ~5000 metric tons”
“@Benioff Starship should be able to deliver around 300 GW per year of solar-powered AI satellites to orbit, maybe 500 GW. The “per year” part is what makes this such a big deal. Average US electricity consumption is around 500 GW, so at 300 GW/year, AI in space would exceed the entire US”
“@TJ_Cooney That said, most Starship spaceports will probably need to be ~20 miles / 30km offshore for acceptable noise levels, especially for frequent daily flights, as would occur for point to point flights on Earth”
“@Rainmaker1973 The Starship stack will probably approach ~140m (currently ~120m) over time”

“@Erdayastronaut @JeromeJaccard @Robotbeat @alan1bernard Stainless steel is correct, but different mixture of alloys & new architecture. Unlike Atlas, Starship is buckling stable on launchpad even when unpressurized.”
“@nextspaceflight @Erdayastronaut @flcnhvy @austinbarnard45 Working on regulatory approval for both Boca Chica, Texas, and Cape Kennedy, Florida. Will also be building Starship & Super Heavy simultaneously in both locations.”
“RT @HalcyonHypnotic: Flight 5: “We’ve removed tiles from the heat shield of starship, so don’t be surprised if explodes” > ship survives…”
“@JaneidyEve We’re now building flight design of Starship SN1, but each SN will have at least minor improvements, at least through SN20 or so of Starship V1.0.”
“RT @amXFreeze: Starship is so amazing that sometimes it’s hard to believe how true it is https://t.co/io6I51Oc7X”
“Congrats @SpaceX Falcon team on 50 successful missions already this year! Highest flight rate of any rocket ever.”
“@SciGuySpace Starship can also be used to create a large, permanently crewed Moon Base Alpha research station”
“@annerajb Texas and Florida Starship prototypes (not Hopper) fly in 2 to 3 months”
“RT @cb_doge: Starship is the gateway to Kardashev civilization. https://t.co/rSxFeQEbAl”
“@flcnhvy @Erdayastronaut @ValkyrieBaron11 @NASASpaceflight Starship + Super Heavy propellant mass is 4800 tons (78% O2 & 22% CH4). I think we can get propellant cost down to ~$100/ton in volume, so ~$500k/flight. With high flight rate, probably below $1.5M fully burdened cost for 150 tons to orbit or ~$10/kg.”
“RT @teslaownersSV: The scale of the Starship is insane and 🤯🤯🤯 https://t.co/09STmiFuHm”
“@annerajb @Erdayastronaut @flcnhvy @austinbarnard45 We decided to skip building a new nosecone for Hopper. Don’t need it. What you see being built is the orbital Starship vehicle.”
“@StarshipGazer Heat shield design and production is getting good”
“@Erdayastronaut @dwesterster Trying have fewer parts, so strakes are unlikely. Some very counterintuitive CFD results in both hypersonic & subsonic regimes. Starship does controlled falling more than flying.”

“@Teslarati ~1750K is peak heating expected on about 20% of Starship for LEO entry, ~1600K on 20%. Rest drops below 1450K, so no heat shield needed. Radiative cooling at T^4 takes care of 60% of the ship. Another reason for steel.”
