@katlinegrey @Zvezdichko @SciGuySpace Strange, as SpaceX lands on land frequently. Russia has very talented engineers, but they must be given reusability as goal or success is impossible.

@marshall5912 @buckycovington @MacTechGenius They can form a union whenever they want & there’s nothing I can do to stop them. California is a very pro-union state. They just don’t want to.

@Lord_Lima_Bean @UHDDreamer @LanceUlanoff Exactly. Total energy stored even in ultra compressed air is low vs battery, but power output is insane. The composite overwrapped pressure vessel (COPV) is most advanced ever made. It’s what SpaceX is qualifying for NASA crewed missions. Extremely robust — literally bulletproof.

@LytovchenkoSerg @John_Gardi @Erdayastronaut Rocket booster temperatures won’t go much above 600 Kelvin on hottest parts of main body & maybe around 1200K on base, which uncooled steel can handle. Starship is around 1700K for a Mach 25 entry, so needs shielding of some kind.

But if humanity wishes to become a multi-planet species, then we must figure out how to move millions of people to Mars.

@bluemoondance74 @Erdayastronaut @justpaulinelol @mayemusk @SpaceX Overall successful. Aborted at T+51 sec on high mixture ratio, but we were intentionally probing the corners of the box of operating conditions, so not surprising.
