“@WevolverApp @SpaceX Dragon 2 was originally designed to land with thrusters, but it’s not the right architecture for heavy transport to the moon or Mars, so we decided not to qualify it for thruster landings”
“RT @ApoStructura: Starship vs A380 & 737-8 When stacked with the Super Heavy booster Starship is taller than an A380 and a Max-8 on top of…”
“Really tempting to redesign upper stage for return too (Falcon Heavy has enough power), but prob best to stay focused on the Mars rocket”
“@ZainS180 @VikingRocket @WholeMarsBlog Cybertruck is intentionally an insane technology bandwagon”
“@sundarpichai Thanks :) SpaceX team is incredible. All done without AI so far, even Starship. With AI, I can’t even imagine the possibilities.”

“@Dtrford @austinbarnard45 @AlexSvanArt @ErcXspace @SpceEnthusiast @SpacexVision @TomDixonDesign @SpaceX @spaceXcentric Doesn’t quite illustrate true size difference. Starship payload volume & mass are >1000% that of Shuttle.”
“RT @SpaceX: Starship and Super Heavy move out to continue preflight testing https://t.co/zYN1fkvNIk”
“@IvanEscobosa @aaronjcash @WholeMarsBlog @brandonee916 @vincent13031925 @SpaceX Absolutely. With competition, the consumer is the winner.”
“@Erdayastronaut @SpaceX All correct. Parachutes were originally the backup landing system, with SuperDraco thrusters as primary. Difficulty of proving thruster landing safety *and* architecture being suboptimal for moon/Mars caused us to change focus to parachutes.”
“@Erdayastronaut Making a fully reusable orbital rocket of any design is one of the hardest engineering problems of all time. Much, much harder than going to the Moon, which is why it still hasn’t been solved. I am cautiously optimistic that Starship will achieve full reusability next year.”

“@FutureJurvetson @SpaceX And, if all goes well, SpaceX’s total launch mass to orbit will increase ~50% next year, not including Starship”
“@StarshipGazer @SpaceX We’re getting great use out of Massey’s gun range!”
“@itshakeemz @DimaZeniuk @SpaceX @SirineAti @captainarve @andst7 @WholeMarsBlog @EvasTeslaSPlaid @GailAlfarATX @JaneidyEve @TeslaAIBot @1stMarsColonist I hesitate to say this, but it might be too pointy”
“@MarioNawfal Falcon and Dragon are the best in the world at what they do. The SpaceX Starship is alien technology. Nothing like it has ever been attempted, as it is capable of lifting the entire pressurized volume of the International Space Station in a single flight and will do several…”

“RT @teslaownersSV: Reusable rockets will get us to Mars https://t.co/pGshwgobqF”
“@engineers_feed @SpaceX @NASA Great work by SpaceX team & very much appreciate faith in Starship by @NASA!”
“@Rawasen_ SpaceX needs to demonstrate more progress with Starship, but that will hopefully happen rapidly”
“RT @DimaZeniuk: Starship is the first planet-colonizer class rocket https://t.co/hlMRTVRRP7”
“@SPEXcast @Robotbeat @John_Gardi @SpaceX Very dependent on volume, but I’m confident moving to Mars (return ticket is free) will one day cost less than $500k & maybe even below $100k. Low enough that most people in advanced economies could sell their home on Earth & move to Mars if they want.”
“@MarcusYafeelus @matthewloop @ScottAdamsSays Better hustle with the Mars rockets!”
“@BallAerospace @NASA_Marshall @NASA @SpaceX Congrats!”

“@peterrhague No, we’re going straight to Mars. The Moon is a distraction. Mass to orbit is the key metric, thereafter mass to Mars surface. The former needs to be in the megaton to orbit per year range to build a self-sustaining colony on Mars.”
“@JaneidyEve Yeah, we just finished two more propellant domes. SpaceX team & supporting suppliers are doing amazing work ramping Starship production.”
“RT @johnkrausphotos: Starship, the largest and most powerful rocket in history, stands at Starbase, Texas, ahead of Flight 8 tomorrow https…”
“@_Jevis_ @PPathole Ideal scenario imo is catching Starship in horizontal “glide” with no landing burn, although that is quite a challenge for the tower! Next best is catching with tower, with emergency pad landing mode on skirt (no legs).”
“RT @XFreeze: SpaceX will have the first Moon base and it's much closer than most realize Starship can carry the highest tonnage to space o…”
“@Teslaconomics Starship already reached orbital velocity, which is success for all other rockets. Achieving full reusability will be profound not for reasons of valuation, but because it will enable consciousness to extend permanently beyond Earth.”
“@Neopork85 @SpaceX @MarcusHouseGame We really need better legs for Starship. They’re coming.”

“@peterrhague This utter moron also doesn’t understand that Starship is designed to be fully reusable, unlike pointless rockets that are not. In expendable mode, add at least 100 metric tons to the payload capability.”
