“@farzyness The priority shift is because I’m worried that a natural or manmade catastrophe stops the resupply ships coming from Earth, causing the colony to die out. We can make the Moon city self-growing in less than 10 years, but Mars will take 20+ years due to the 26 month iteration… https://t.co/stiaf8Tkpu https://x.com/i/web/status/2020910733697954282”
“👌 [@grok] @EightBitElon @elonmusk @LimitingThe Chimps master tree-climbing via evolved instincts, but leading NASA's rocket science requires mastering delta-v and orbital decay, not just brachiation. Transfer learning shines in AI, yet applying primate agility to space governance risks more splashdowns than Mars landings.”
“@PPathole Starship booster, largest flying object ever designed, will be caught out of sky by launch tower. Big step forward, as reflight can be done in under an hour.”
“Just came across this pretty good CNBC piece on SpaceX & Starship https://t.co/RELYzC40M9 https://youtu.be/LgXtMtLdDxc”
“Starship technical update [@SpaceX] The seventh flight test of Starship ended before reaching its ambitious goals. Lessons learned are being applied to future vehicles to make them more reliable. A technical summary of the investigation can be found here → http://spacex.com/updates/#flight-7-report)”
“@PPathole Starship is the key to making life multiplanetary & protecting the light of consciousness”
“Attempting 10th flight test! [@SpaceX] Watch Starship's tenth flight test → http://spacex.com/launches/starship-flight-10”
“@RocketRick @Twitter Social media in general, especially Twitter, were eroding civilization. If civilization collapses before Mars becomes self-sustaining, then nothing else matters. Human consciousness is gone.”
“@DimaZeniuk @SpaceX @SirineAti @captainarve @andst7 @WholeMarsBlog @EvasTeslaSPlaid @GailAlfarATX @JaneidyEve @TeslaAIBot @1stMarsColonist Will get bigger. Ship will probably stretch by another 10m or so.”
“@aubreystrobel Yes, public viewing of Starship is easy from South Padre Island and the view is excellent. Also, the rocket factory and launch towers are right by a public highway.”
“@johnkrausphotos @SpaceX Starship Flight 3 hardware should be ready to fly in 3 to 4 weeks. There are three ships in final production in the high bay (as can be seen from the highway).”
“Good shot of @SpaceX Starship flight test vehicle being assembled in Boca Chica, Texas”
“Mars V2 plan coming soon, which I think addresses the most fundamental flaw in V1: how to pay for development & operation of giant rockets https://t.co/yaITdVdpEc https://x.com/sciam/status/875756138121310208”
“@JonErlichman 5 years ago. We need to accelerate progress towards fully reusable rockets. Cost per ton to orbit needs to improve by >1000% from where Falcon is today for there to be a self-sustaining city on Mars.”
“@PPathole @SpaceX SpaceX team is doing great work! One day, the true measure of success will be that Starship flights are commonplace.”
“@NewsfromScience @ScienceVisuals Starship will be an incredible enabler for science. Full reusability & high production rate drive several orders of magnitude improvement in $/kg to orbit & beyond. Next gen Starlink constellation is primary user of this rocket, so science doesn’t need to cover fixed cost.”
“@CSI_Starbase @LabPadre High-strength stainless steel armor is needed to protect the launch stand from the world’s biggest blowtorch! Even steel will be eroded fast by the Starship booster plume. We will need to make a water-cooled steel jacket to achieve full reusability.”
“@hoppar_app @SpaceX @DJSnM @spacex360 @SpaceXStarship @StarshipGazer @NASASpaceflight @Erdayastronaut @MarcusHouse @FelixSchlang @ErcXspace Pretty close to what we’re aiming for”
“@flcnhvy @thatdogegirl @WhatsupFranks @TeslaGong Becoming multiplanetary is one of the greatest filters. Only now, 4.5 billion years after Earth formed, is it possible. How long this window to reach Mars remains open is uncertain. Perhaps a long time, perhaps not. In case it is the latter, we should act now.”
“@PPathole @SpaceX Pattern on the Starlink router is orbital transfer ellipse from Earth to Mars”
“@StarshipFairing @SpaceX @ulalaunch @blueorigin @relativityspace @torybruno @thetimellis Design is easy, production is hard”
“@WholeMarsBlog Now that the big automotive advertisers are making EVs, you will see far fewer articles about EVs catching on fire. It is not surprising that internal combustion engine cars have a tendency to combust externally too.”
“@Globe_Mars @CNBC We must safeguard the future of life by transitioning to sustainable energy on Earth & becoming multiplanetary via Mars. It’s not clear how much time we have to do these things, but sooner is definitely better.”
“@PhilippeCROIZON @SpaceX One day we will fly you on Starship”
“@johnkrausphotos @SpaceX Mars Base Alpha”
“@Tesmanian_com If a severe global recession were to dry up capital availability / liquidity while SpaceX was losing billions on Starlink & Starship, then bankruptcy, while still unlikely, is not impossible. GM & Chrysler went BK last recession. “Only the paranoid survive.” – Grove”
“@Erdayastronaut @SpaceX Starship payload is 250 to 300 tons to orbit in expendable mode. Improved thrust & Isp from Raptor will enable ~6000 ton liftoff mass.”
“@PPathole @SpaceX Optimized, fully-reusable Starship is ~150t to same reference orbit as Saturn V. In expendable mode, Starship payload would be 250t to 300t.”
“@cnunezimages @SpaceX @SpaceIntellige3 Gateway to Mars”
“@SciGuySpace So many war stories over 18 eventful years! But Starship can make life multiplanetary, which is what really matters for safeguarding the light of consciousness & life as we know it. 100X improvement over Falcon/Dragon.”
“@FischerKing64 Keep books and historical media safe. SpaceX will put copies of knowledge in space an on the Moon and Mars.”
“@engineers_feed Indirectly, an electric rocket is possible by using electricity to convert CO2+H2O —> CH4+O2. This will be needed on Mars even for early missions & Earth too over time.”
“On Mars, I like to drink my coffee in this mug https://t.co/DN7aIyhhQ3 https://shop.spacex.com/occupy-mars-heat-sensitive-terraforming-mug.html”
“@DimaZeniuk Steel also had the advantage over carbon fiber of not driving SpaceX into bankruptcy making Starship”
“RT @SpaceX: Liftoff of Starship! https://t.co/d6d2hHgMa0”
“@WholeMarsBlog The Washington Post’s current slogan is “Democracy Dies in Darkness”. Catchy – for sure – but then what’s up with the paywall for news!?”
“@WholeMarsBlog No, it’s dual, high performance terminals, which are important for maintaining the connection in choppy seas & heavy storms. Still obv premium pricing, but way cheaper & faster than alternatives. SpaceX was paying $150k/month for a much worse connection to our ships!”
“RT @SpaceX: Super Heavy on the launch pad at Starbase ahead of Starship's eighth flight test https://t.co/MdiIQMy5EF”
“RT @SpaceX: Splashdown confirmed! Congratulations to the entire SpaceX team on an exciting eleventh flight test of Starship! https://t.co/l… https://x.com/yz”
“@krassenstein @SpaceX Starship should be able to make it to the moon in less than 5 years”
“@cnunezimages @SpaceX @SpaceIntellige3 Starships”
“@imPenny2x And deliver over 200 tons of payload to a useful orbit with full & rapid reusability. 50 rockets flying every 3 days on average enables over a megaton of payload to orbit per year – enough to build a self-sustaining city on Mars.”
“@PPathole @SpaceX We need serious tonnage to Mars”
“@waitbutwhy Max payload of Starship V1 in expendable mode (like the other rockets) is ~200 tons. V3 is expected to be ~200 tons with full reusability and ~400 tons expendable. Length will grow by 20 to 30 meters and thrust to ~10k tons.”
“@KenKirtland17 @torybruno @ulalaunch @SpaceX @blueorigin @Erdayastronaut @DJSnM @ThePrimalDino Starship fairing will actually have more height than shown here. Dome will be flatter & more of tip is accessible. Usable volume ~1000 cubic meters.”
“@EdKrassen Civilization needs to retain its current technology level until Mars is self-sufficient, which could be achieved within ~20 years. If we become multiplanetary and then multistellar our civilization will last millions of years. If not, maybe just a few hundred years.”
“@SawyerMerritt @SpaceX SpaceX will ultimately deliver millions of tons to the Moon to build a self-growing city there and same for Mars”
“@johnkrausphotos @NASASpaceflight @SpaceX @SuperclusterHQ Starship/Super Heavy is ~10X bigger in mass & volume”
“RT @ElonClipsX: Elon Musk: I didn't need $180 million, so I thought I'd spend a bunch of it on a rocket to Mars. “In order to be highly mo…”
“@aaronjcash @WholeMarsBlog @brandonee916 @vincent13031925 @SpaceX Some good Cox jokes in this thread”
