@OliOnOrbit Falcon 9 is technically a heavy lift rocket. If flown as an expendable, payload to orbit is similar to Delta IV Heavy (~25 tons to LEO). And Starship is ~10 times bigger.

@WholeMarsBlog @ValueAnalyst1 That would be awesome. I suspect they will say no, but I will ask Warren & Charlie.

@MarcusHouse Biggest advantage of lower altitude is that beam diameter is smaller for a given antenna size, allowing Starlink to serve a higher density of customers

@ajtourville @SpaceX That is exactly the problem. The Biden/Harris administration absolutely could override the California Coastal Commission, but they are doing everything they can to damage SpaceX.

@WholeMarsBlog True. We are working on a feature where the car identifies probable viable parking spaces. You tap on one, exit the vehicle and it parks there.

@WholeMarsBlog The probability of Tesla dying in 2008/2009 was very high. We closed our financing round at 6pm on Dec 24th – the last working hour of the last day before Tesla would otherwise bounce payroll.

@Erdayastronaut @SpaceX Great video. Couple notes: Raptor designed for subcooled CH4/O2, so propellant density & thrust increase up to ~8%, as needed for mission. 380 Isp & up to 50% thrust/weight improvement over time. Merlin thrust/weight doubled from V1, but Raptor is closer to optimum.

@SciGuySpace SpaceX will do orbital refilling several times next year with Starship V3. Because we are simply docking with ourself, this is a much easier problem than docking with the Space Station, which SpaceX already does several times a year.

@SawyerMerritt Also, Starlink is still losing money! It is insanely difficult for a LEO communications constellation to avoid bankruptcy – that was the fate of every company that tried this before. When asked what the goal of Starlink was at a space conference, I said “not go bankrupt”.

@GokuAurelius @Erdayastronaut Roughly 800 to 1000 per year. That’s about what’s needed over ten years to create the fleet to build a self-sustaining city on Mars. City itself probably takes roughly 20 years, so hopefully it is built by ~2050.
