“@Erdayastronaut @NASA @SpaceX Mars needs to happen soon”

“@thesheetztweetz @QuiltyAnalytics SpaceX default plan was ~65% of global launch mass to orbit this year. Incremental demand might take that to ~70%, so not a major change. Those numbers don’t count Starship. Rough math is ~16 tons * 50 launches = 800 tons. Rest of world is <400 tons (mostly China).”

“@smartass505 @ZainS180 @VikingRocket @WholeMarsBlog Oh man, this year has been such a supply chain nightmare & it’s not over! I will provide an updated product roadmap on next earnings call.”

“@engineers_feed Hell of a rocket! Probably would have succeeded if Korolev had not died. Hopefully, Starship is more fortunate.”

“RT @SpaceX: The first Starship V3 has left the build site to begin prelaunch testing https://t.co/DMZVMuRQVl”

“@imPenny2x @SecDuffyNASA They won’t. SpaceX is moving like lightning compared to the rest of the space industry. Moreover, Starship will end up doing the whole Moon mission. Mark my words.”

“RT @SpaceX: View under the launch mount as Super Heavy's 33 Raptor engines ignite on Starship's eighth flight test https://t.co/WRCazkhyXs”

“@jessica_kirsh @SpaceX It’s awesome that people can see Starship so close up”

“@ZainS180 @VikingRocket @WholeMarsBlog Cybertruck will reach far into a post-apocalyptic future & bring that technology to now”

“@Erdayastronaut Starship catch is probably flight 13 to 15, depending on how well V3 flights go”

“@johnkrausphotos @SpaceX @PortCanaveral Version 3 of the SpaceX droneship. Team did great work! Will be epic to see the deep sea oil rigs converted to ocean spaceports for Starship.”

“@RajveerJolly We are developing the interplanetary rocket and spaceship to allow anyone to travel to the moon, Mars & beyond, regardless of nationality”

“@ErcXspace And ship will be caught by Mechazilla too. As with booster, no landing legs. Those are only needed for moon & Mars until there is local infrastructure.”

“@aaronburnett SpaceX has a massive presence in Florida. It is our biggest launch complex by far. And the Starship heat shield factory is there.”

“@JaneidyEve @flcnhvy @Freiraum77 @SpaceX Aiming for 20km flight in Oct & orbit attempt shortly thereafter. Starship update will be on Sept 28th, anniversary of SpaceX reaching orbit. Starship Mk 1 will be fully assembled by that time.”

“RT @SpaceX: The ninth flight test of Starship is preparing to launch as soon as Tuesday, May 27 → https://t.co/Gufroc2kUz https://t.co/nTc2… http://spacex.com/launches/mission/?missionId=starship-flight-9”

“RT @SpaceX: Starship in space https://t.co/ztS3Zo9lH2”

“@mayemusk @SpaceX Starship Mk 1 & Hopper”

“@ID_AA_Carmack Best case 2028, but probably 2030. If SpaceX is not smothered by regulations, then the Starship launch rate will far exceed the Falcon launch rate, as Starship fully reusable, while Falcon is only mostly reusable. Starship should be doing >1000 Earth orbit flights per year by…”

“RT @SpaceX: Starship moved to the pad at Starbase for preflight testing https://t.co/KYSMthPjFD”

“@PPathole @Teslarati @13ericralph31 If we are able to make life self-sustaining on Mars, we will have passed one of the greatest filters. That then sets us up to become interstellar. Earth is ~4.5B years old, but life is still not multiplanetary and it is extremely uncertain how much time is left to become so.”

“RT @SpaceX: Interplanetary Transport System is not just for Mars https://t.co/X2uV5moBya”

“@StarshipFairing @Phrankensteyn @SpaceX @smvllstvrs @Erdayastronaut @austinbarnard45 @NASASpaceflight @spacex360 @ErcXspace If Earth’s gravity was even 10% lower, I’d be all for single stage to orbit”

“@Erdayastronaut Great shot! Btw, Starship Super Heavy will not have an entry burn. Delta-v is shifted more to the ship, so booster entry Q & heating is lower.”

“@NASASpaceflight SpaceX is doing simultaneous competing builds of Starship in Boca Chica Texas & Cape Canaveral Florida”

“@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.”

“RT @SpaceX: Counting down to Starship's eleventh flight test. The launch window opens on Monday at 6:15 p.m. CT and weather is currently 80…”

“@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.”

“@FutureJurvetson @_BryceTech @SpaceX Once Starship is flying frequently with real payloads next year, then SpaceX will probably deliver >95% of total Earth payload to orbit, despite others, especially China, continuing to grow. In 2027, maybe as high as 98%.”

“@ajtourville A stainless steel Starship is essentially the same mass as an advanced carbon fiber or aluminum-lithium version, given that it is a reusable rocket, as steel can handle much higher heat loads, requiring less shielding, and its strength increases dramatically at cryogenic…”

“@tobyliiiiiiiiii @RationalEtienne @SPEXcast @William_M_Brown @PPathole @thesheetztweetz @waEMD @SpaceX @SpaceXStarlink @WANationalGuard Oh yeah, Starship update coming in about 3 weeks. The design has coalesced. What is presented will actually be what flies to orbit as V1.0 with almost no changes.”

“@PPathole @nextspaceflight @NASASpaceflight @BocaChicaGal @SpaceX Actually, so-called “secondary” structure is the hard part – so many pipes & wires. Tall stuff & small stuff are the toughest things about Starship.”

“@aaronjcash @WholeMarsBlog @brandonee916 @vincent13031925 @SpaceX 🤣”

“RT @SpaceX: Launch and ascent of Starship's eleventh flight test https://t.co/mbMVb6jebW”

“@TJ_Cooney Wow, 2011 seems like eons ago! With fairing recovery, Falcon is ~80% reusable, but reflight takes several days & requires boats. Starship will be fully reusable with booster reflight possible every few hours & ship reflight every 8 hours. No boats needed.”

“@johnkrausphotos @Patreon @SuperclusterHQ @SpaceX Maybe this should be the flag of Mars”

“@Erdayastronaut @LevEakins More accurate word is “propellant”, rather than “fuel”. Starship is ~78% liquid oxygen, ~22% fuel. Propellant cost is of primary importance for a fully reusable rocket, so reusable rockets want high thrust, as thrust below T/W of 1 is irrelevant.”

“@blueskykites @Tesla @SpaceX @mayemusk @WholeMarsBlog @28delayslater @JohnnaCrider1 @Kristennetten @SirineAti @GailAlfarATX @DimaZeniuk @bevedoni @RationalEtienne @ashleevance @adamhoov @klwtts @RenataKonkoly For a couple of months, but, yeah, that looks like the place. Does Mark still live there?”

“@WholeMarsBlog @NASASpaceflight @BBCAmos Higher structural margins overall are needed for reuse, plus: Booster - Grid fins for aero control - Boostback & landing propellant tanks - Protecting engines from entry loads Ship - Body flaps for aero control - Deorbit & landing propellant tanks - Heat shield”

“RT @SpaceX: Starship’s tenth flight test pushed the limits and provided maximum excitement along the way → https://t.co/UIwbeGoo2B https://… http://spacex.com/launches/starship-flight-10”

“RT @cb_doge: For the first time ever, there is a rocket capable of establishing a permanent base on Mars. https://t.co/Xbj6A7GA8j”

“@bennyjohnson SpaceX has not tried to bid for any contract in this regard. Our strong preference would be to stay focused on taking humanity to Mars. If the President asks us to help in this regard, we will do so, but I hope that other companies (not SpaceX) can do this.”

“RT @SpaceX: Counting down to Starship's eighth flight test. Weather looks favorable at the pad and the 60-minute launch window opens at 5:3…”

“@DimaZeniuk @SpaceX @SirineAti @captainarve @andst7 @WholeMarsBlog @EvasTeslaSPlaid @GailAlfarATX @JaneidyEve @TeslaAIBot @1stMarsColonist And we need to add 3 more Raptor Vacuum engines, because it’s inevitable”

“RT @SpaceX: The Starship preparing for our ninth flight test completed a single engine static fire demonstrating an in-space burn https://t…”

“@WholeMarsBlog @teslaownersSV @SpaceX I’m driving “alpha” 9, but we need to fix some obvious issues before releasing beta 9, hopefully next week. FSD subscription capability should be turning on via the Tesla app.”

“@SciGuySpace Good chance that Starship achieves full stack reusability in 2025, which is the critical breakthrough needed to make life multiplanetary”
