“Between this flight & Grasshopper tests, I think we now have all the pieces of the puzzle to bring the rocket back home.”
“@PPathole @Erdayastronaut @farrier_nyker @GeetPurohit3 @YoavOffek Looks about right. Ice mining/refining on Mars & maximizing total system efficiency will be hard. CO2 is easy, as Mars atmosphere is mostly that. Also has good amount of N2, which is important for life.”

“@seeMOUSErun @SpaceX Full and immediate reusability of an orbital rocket is the fundamental break through needed to become a multi planet species and a true spacefaring civilization”
“@StarshipFairing @MarcusHouseGame Not bad! We will definitely need more engines if we make the cargo bay all propellant, but it’s probably smarter than a whole new shorter external hull.”
“RT @teslaownersSV: Elon Musk: “I couldn't think of anything more exciting, fun, and inspiring for the future than to have a base on Mars"…”
“@13ericralph31 @PPathole @Erdayastronaut @rmarcilhoo @kimitalvitie @SpaceXNow @ChrisG_NSF @NASASpaceflight Yeah, *way* better. Dramatically improves cost, complexity & ease of operations. Distances of ~10,000 km with decent payload seem achievable at roughly Mach 20.”
“@SpaceXFan97 Yes. There’s a huge amount of hardware in the tip of the faring that being integrated on the ground, which is why we haven’t closed it out.”
“@MarcusHouseGame @Neopork85 @SpaceX @Erdayastronaut @SpaceToday1 @ElonsWorld @FelixSchlang @ChrisG_NSF @DJSnM Yes. This is the hardest part of the booster design.”
“@DJSnM @doug_ellison @dsfpspacefl1ght Under consideration. We’ve already stretched the upper stage once. Easiest part of the rocket to change. Fairing 2, flying soon, also has a slightly larger diameter. Could make fairing much longer if need be & will if BFR takes longer than expected.”

“@Robotbeat Humanity was on a path of increasing launch cost and diminishing capability, so it might never have happened. SpaceX is an attempt to change that, but we still have a very long way to go to make life multiplanetary.”

“This is the final straw. Because of this law and the many others that preceded it, attacking both families and companies, SpaceX will now move its HQ from Hawthorne, California, to Starbase, Texas.”
“Given the terrible flooding in Rio Grande do Sul, @Starlink will donate 1000 terminals to emergency responders and make usage for all terminals in the region free until the region has recovered. I hope the best for the people of Brazil. https://t.co/NK6kjz7Iag”
