“@DJSnM Exactly. For reusable heatshield, minimize peak heating. For ablative/expendable, minimize total heat. Therefore reusable like Starship wants lift during high Mach reentry for lower peak, but higher total heat.”
“RT @teslaownersSV: Space travel as common as ocean flights. Starship is making it possible. 🚀 https://t.co/nBSzizL66F”
“@Erdayastronaut @goathobbit Testing a possible Starship windward side ceramic tile. Maximizing emissivity is best for conductive/particle heating. Nice thing about steel is that tiles can be very thin, unlike carbon fiber or aluminum airframe.”
“RT @InfographicTony: Version 1.0: Starship Flight Test- X post-launch infographic (Unofficial). https://t.co/v1KgN7uJ0i”
“Congratulations @SpaceX team on 500 Falcon flights! [@SpaceX] Falcon completes its 500th overall mission! Congratulations to the entire SpaceX team for making the impossible possible on the road to rapidly reusable rockets!”
“@RQuiddich Every tank under pressure is a balloon tank — it’s just question of degree. Starship tanks are not balloon tanks like Atlas in sense that they don’t collapse when depressurized on the ground.”
“A fully reusable orbital rocket is the critical breakthrough needed to make life multiplanetary”
“@KerbalNut @SciGuySpace Starship will carry >99% of mass to orbit of Earth”
“Congrats Falcon team on 450 rocket landings! [@SpaceX] Falcon lands for the 450th time!”
“RT @DimaZeniuk: Starship will likely grow by another 20m over time, reaching up to 140m 🤯 https://t.co/EYfJKTylXV”
“29 landings of single booster! [@SpaceX] Falcon fleet leader touches down for its 29th launch and landing”
“@urnamma After Starship returns from orbit”
“Congratulations @SpaceX team on three successful rocket flights in half a day! [@SpaceX] Falcon 9 completes three missions in ~13 hours, launching four astronauts to the @space_station, 74 rideshare payloads to orbit, and adding 23 @Starlink satellites to the constellation”
“Falcon rocket lands for the 500th time [@SpaceX] Falcon 9 completes its 500th landing after lifting off from pad 40 in Florida”
“@grafikhure_de @StevenHardison Starship will look like liquid silver”
“@tossha_spb @atlasobscura Will do Starship presentation a few weeks after Hopper hovers, so prob late July. If that timing works, free LJ chips for all present!”
“@S3XYstarship @cb_doge If current trends continue, robots will far outnumber humans”
“@C3LT_Games The Cape is one of the two Starship build sites. More on this later.”
“As a summer intern many years ago, I wrote software for video games at a company called Rocket Science. This was long before SpaceX was even conceived. Didn’t realize until a friend gave me a copy today that they included me in the credits 🥰 https://t.co/adU1J81ESq”
“@Erdayastronaut @JeromeJaccard @Robotbeat @alan1bernard While there are some material similarities, Starship is very different from the Atlas design”
“@Falcon9Block5 @Alejandro_DebH @annerajb Won’t change. Starship launch structure will be attached to the other side from tower.”
“@Alejandro_DebH @annerajb Starship launch structure is being built off-site in steel subsections”
“RT @teslaownersSV: The scale of the Starship is insane and 🤯🤯🤯 https://t.co/KldF2iZKaS”
“RT @cb_doge: Elon Musk on Starship: "If there are historians in the future, they will look back at Starship and say it was one of the most…”
“@Erdayastronaut Depends on total system efficiency & how long the propellant plant can run to refill Starship, so 1 to 10MW as a rough guess”
“@space_terp @NASASpaceflight Both sites will make many Starships. This is a competition to see which location is most effective. Answer might be both.”
“@tszzl @api_assasin The strong gravity of Earth makes the physics of a fully reusable rocket with positive payload margin extremely difficult to solve, which is why it has never been done before. Removing the mass of landing legs from the booster and ship by making the tower do the work of final…”
“Congrats to the @SpaceX team for the first time completing 10 rocket launches & landings in a single month!”
“RT @cb_doge: A Kardashev Type II civilization requires xAI and Grok at planetary scale. Starship enables solar powered AI satellites in or…”
“SpaceX has come a long way, but we are still at the very beginning of making life multiplanetary and being a true spacefaring civilization https://t.co/zHQj02EcOi”
“@Matthew_Nolan1 @austinbarnard45 Starship will do orbital launches from Boca Chica (near Brownsville) & Cape”
“@HarryStoltz1 @ShorealoneFilms Details coming at Starship update”
“@EdKrassen My concern was more the outrageous demand that people *must* take the vaccine and multiple boosters to do anything at all. That was messed up. Until the Supreme Court invalidated Biden’s exec order, SpaceX and many other companies would have been forced to fire anyone who…”
“@realRickyReeves @Erdayastronaut @NASA Crew Dragon is capable of propulsive landing, but would require extensive testing to prove safety. Better to focus on Starship.”
“Half a decade ago [@NASA] Five years ago, @NASA_Astronauts Robert Behnken and Douglas Hurley launched to the @Space_Station aboard a @SpaceX Dragon spacecraft and Falcon 9 rocket. Our Demo-2 mission was the first time American astronauts launched on an American rocket from the U.S. in nearly 10 years.”
“Congrats to @SpaceX team for launching 2 rockets within 4 hours! https://t.co/kT5T01lxjt”
“I added “Santa Claus is riding the dinosaur” 😂 https://t.co/Ha3rsAleBs [@BoosterTribe] @elonmusk this is amazing by @grok . Yes, that was a real sign at @SpaceX”
“@starshipsara Extremely high”
“@bevvscott Starship Tooters”
“@lister6520 @justpaulinelol @MattLBates @Erdayastronaut You’re touching on a good critique of Falcon 9. Our 1st stage to 2nd stage propellant ratio is too high. We’re fixing that with Starship.”
“Indeed, it was *because* I was not from the aerospace industry that SpaceX made such radical breakthroughs. Same for Tesla. Those in the industry would have if they could have. [@ray4tesla] In this 2015 interview, the host — a Tsinghua University professor — expressed genuine curiosity about how Elon Musk was able to found SpaceX without prior experience and knowledge in aerospace, especially given that rocket science is one of the most demanding hard sciences — and”
“This is the first time that a rocket has taken off from one country, gone to space and landed in another country! [@MarioNawfal] 🇧🇸 THE BAHAMAS JUST LEVELED UP—WELCOME TO THE SPACE AGE Move over, sun and sand—The Bahamas is now a player in the space game. For the first time, a Falcon 9 rocket booster will land in Exuma Sound, a deep-water basin perfect for rocket recovery. Not bad for a country best… )”
“I have so much respect for the associates doing an honest day’s work at Tesla or SpaceX building & servicing cars, rockets, Starlinks, batteries, solar & many other things”
“@justpaulinelol @annerajb @highlyaaronic Probably have slots for up to 37 engines, but can decontent as needed. Starship update after Hopper hover.”
“🚀 [@thatsKAIZEN] Every American owes it to themselves to go see a SpaceX rocket launch. They’re a reminder that there's more to life than politics and problems. It would be useful to make this a field trip for public schools. There is no better demonstration of what makes America special.”
“Great work by the @SpaceX team! [@FutureJurvetson] The latest rocket launch market share report just dropped 🚀 SpaceX launched 88.5% of all satellites in Q2, on track to hit the 90% share @ElonMusk predicted for the rest of 2025. By weight lofted to orbit, SpaceX did 86% of the global total. And it’s a power law; once you”
“@enn_nafnlaus @TheJewbyrd7777 @DrakeFerroNyalk @13ericralph31 Spiral-winding is great for uniform thickness. We used that for the Hyperloop vacuum tunnel. However, Starship skin thickness will vary considerably according to loads.”
“@flcnhvy @Erdayastronaut @Cor_SPACE No, we’ve been focusing on production (now on SN12). Only need 250 bar or even a bit less for Starship/Super Heavy. Anything above 250 is nice to have & we’ll get around to it, but not needed for flight.”
“Great work by the @SpaceX team successfully launching 61 Falcon rocket missions this year! If tomorrow’s mission goes well, we will exceed last year’s flight count. SpaceX has delivered ~80% of all Earth payload mass to orbit in 2023. China is ~10% & rest of world other ~10%.”
“2 heavy-class rocket flights in 10 hours [@XFreeze] SPACEX IS ON ABSOLUTE FIRE RIGHT NOW🔥 TWO Falcon 9 launches in the last 10 HOURS - Starlink 17-24 from Vandenberg - Starlink 10-46 from Cape Canaveral 50+ satellites dropped in one day like it’s nothing Literally no one else can pull this off But It's just another day at”
