“@Erdayastronaut @dauqhx @universal_sci Starship propellant is ~78% oxygen, so an O2 plant on the moon would be enough. Otherwise, we could brute-force it with tankers to low Earth orbit. That’s probably faster.”

“@WholeMarsBlog And it will only get better”
“@JoelSercel Despite significant growth by our competitors, especially China, SpaceX will probably increase from ~90% of Earth’s total payload to orbit to ~98% in about 24 months due to Starship”
“@PPathole @SpaceX It is flat-packed. No dispenser.”
“Falcon Heavy side boosters can use most of the same airframe as Falcon 9, but center core needs to be buffed up a lot for transfer loads.”
“RT @Starlink: Starlink Mobile is providing data for video, voice, and messaging services in areas where terrestrial service is unavailable…”
“This will be under /r/spacex, not the general AMA. Meant to be supplemental to the IAC talk.”
“RT @johnkrausphotos: Good evening from Starbase, Texas, where Starlink satellite simulators are being loaded onto Ship 34 ahead of Starship…”
“@cb_doge Starlink has an incredible advantage over competing systems: it actually works”
“@PalmerLuckey Exactly. Crimea was a sanctioned region, which is why our beams were not activated there. SpaceX cannot violate sanctions at the request of a foreign government – that would be a felony criminal action. We did not receive a request from the US government.”
“@WholeMarsBlog Solving overspending will solve inflation”
“RT @SpaceX: Falcon 9 delivers 21 @Starlink satellites to the constellation from Florida https://t.co/6PMELtitXj”
“@WholeMarsBlog Yeah, we just need to confirm there are no safety regressions”
“@skorusARK Marginal cost of Starship mass to orbit should be well under $100/kg. Fully burdened cost depends on flight rate.”

“@Erdayastronaut @i_gvf @SciGuySpace Exactly. Chartering a dedicated 747 flight around the world costs less than buying a small, single engine turboprop plane. In the same way, a giant reusable rocket flight is way cheaper than a tiny expendable rocket that can be used only once.”
“@TrungTPhan I came to the (obvious) conclusion that a radical improvement in rocket technology was needed to make life multiplanetary. That required creating a company, as success was not in the set of possible outcomes for the existing rocket companies.”
“@AnthonyFinno @RobertOHaver @Tesla Tesla is affecting powerful vested interests. Big auto & oil companies aren’t known for their gentle behavior. SpaceX is battling US military prime contractors & space programs of national govts. No walk in the park there.”

“@RGVaerialphotos Imagine seeing this view on your way to Mars ✨”
“RT @elonmusk: @cb_doge Yes. That will happen on either the 2nd or 3rd Earth-Mars launch window, so roughly 5 to 7 years from now. The key…”
“@Tenjin37151 @Space_Station @SpaceX @Commercial_Crew @NASA @esa @JAXA_en @astro_kimbrough @Astro_Megan @Thom_astro @Aki_Hoshide As described in The Moon is a Harsh Mistress (great book), a linear accelerator would be great for the moon. Earth’s gravity is too high & atmosphere too dense for accelerators to be a good solution vs reusable boosters imo.”

“@levie Tickets to orbital hotels, the moon and Mars will be a lot less than people think.”
“@BasedBeffJezos @Scobleizer @trengriffin The difficulty of communicating with Mars varies tremendously, with the worst case being when it is on the opposite side of the Sun from Earth. For terabit-level bandwidth, the best option is probably a series of laser communication satellites at varying distances from the Sun…”

“@yourfavgas Probably 6 months or so. 301 is certainly fine for orbit, but SpaceX 30X will be better.”
“RT @XFreeze: Elon Musk perfectly explains why fully reusable orbital rockets are insanely hard to build Our Earth has quite strong gravity…”
“@DJSnM The ISS requires a lot of care and feeding. Time to say goodbye and move on to the Moon and Mars.”
“@Erdayastronaut @sivanithu @tobyliiiiiiiiii @cabral_psyd @imatsb @thesheetztweetz @SciGuySpace @Some1gee @RocketLab @Peter_J_Beck I have great respect for anyone who gets a rocket to orbit! It’s very hard. I’m spending crazy hours on Starship design/production. It is truly an honor to work with such great engineers. SN4 is almost done 😀”
