“Well done, @SpaceX team, on a record year! We grow ever closer to the Moon and Mars. [@SpaceX] Congratulations to the entire SpaceX team for completing 165 Falcon launches and five Starship flight tests this year, all continuing to help pave the way to making life multiplanetary!”

“@PPathole @arstechnica @SciGuySpace If 2021 manifest is met, SpaceX will do ~75% of total Earth payload to orbit with Falcon. A single Starship is designed to do in a day what all rockets on Earth currently do in a year. Even so, ~1000 Starships will take ~20 years to build a self-sustaining city on Mars.”

“RT @SawyerMerritt: X is offering a trip to Mars on @SpaceX's Starship rocket if you get a perfect March Madness bracket, or, alternatively,…”

“Starship departs for Mars at the end of next year, carrying Optimus. If those landings go well, then human landings may start as soon as 2029, although 2031 is more likely. [@Teslaconomics] Happy 23rd Anniversary to @SpaceX! Founded on March 14, 2002, and still pushing the limits of what’s possible, here’s to the next chapter of making life multi-planetary!”

“SpaceX plans to launch about five uncrewed Starships to Mars in two years. If those all land safely, then crewed missions are possible in four years. If we encounter challenges, then the crewed missions will be postponed another two years. It is only possible to travel from…”

“Wouldn’t it be amazing if anyone who wanted to experience the wonder of space, the Moon or Mars could do so? [@SpaceX] For the first time in our existence, we possess the means, technology, and, for the moment, the will to establish a permanent human presence beyond Earth. Starship is designed to make this future a reality → http://spacex.com/updates/#moon-and-beyond”

“SpaceX might exceed 90% of all Earth payload to orbit later this year. Once Starship is launching at high rate, probably >99%. Has to be or we can’t build a city on Mars or base on moon. We file almost no patents, so nothing stopping competition from copying us.”

“Just before the Starship flight next week, I will give a company talk explaining the Mars game plan in Starbase, Texas, that will also be live-streamed on 𝕏 [@SpaceX] Starship completed a long duration six-engine static fire and is undergoing final preparations for the ninth flight test”

“@flcnhvy @arstechnica @SciGuySpace SpaceX will be landing Starships on Mars well before 2030. The really hard threshold is making Mars Base Alpha self-sustaining.”

“@flcnhvy Good grief! SpaceX is getting zero money for this. Starship is designed to carry people & cargo around Earth (also to moon & Mars). Vast majority of use will be civilian. It’s just like an airline in space. All airlines sometimes carry military cargo, but ~99% is civilian.”

“RT @Teslaconomics: I can’t wait to get a ride on SpaceX’s Starship to Mars before I die… https://t.co/u0q6TZ2997”

“@ashleevance If things go well, SpaceX will put about 50% more tonnage in orbit this year using Falcon, which would be above 90% market share. Once Starship is in full swing building a city on Mars, it will do ~99% of all payload to orbit & beyond, as that objective requires about a megaton…”

“@ID_AA_Carmack @SpaceX Starship will have a small spin on the way to Mars. Even a tiny gravity vector is better than none.”

“@Erdayastronaut @Blamblas @latimes @SpaceX @blueorigin Exactly. Mars propellant production will combine atmospheric CO2 & water (ice) to make CH4 (methane) & O2. Will do same on Earth long-term. Short-term, each Falcon flight uses roughly same fuel mass as a 747 flight. Falcon is ~71% oxygen & Starship is ~78%, so mostly not fuel.”

“RT @Gwynne_Shotwell: Get on board! We are going to Mars! SpaceX is now offering Starship services to the red planet. We’re excited to work…”

“@EPavlic @SpaceX @teslaownersSV @DJpowers69 @NASAMars @TheMarsSociety @WholeMarsBlog @DimaZeniuk @AIXBird @Rainmaker1973 @StarshipGazer We will be there one day”

“RT @SciGuySpace: With Elon Musk focusing back on SpaceX, I spoke with him this afternoon about the path forward. https://t.co/7tkxdhtoZx https://arstechnica.com/space/2025/05/elon-musk-turns-his-focus-back-to-space-says-starship-and-mars-matter-most/”

“SpaceX created the first fully reusable rocket stage and, much more importantly, made the reuse economically viable. Making life multiplanetary is fundamentally a cost per ton to Mars problem. It currently costs about a billion dollars per ton of useful payload to the surface…”

“RT @luismbat: Just tested Grok 4’s physics simulation skills. Uploaded a screenshot from SpaceX’s keynote showing Starship’s Earth→Mars orb…”

“RT @TurkeyBeaver: Watch a Falcon launch now as an appetizer for @elonmusk mars talk and starship later today!!! Go @SpaceX!!!”

“RT @teslaownersSV: Starship = Hope. We get closer to Mars with each new flight test. SpaceX is iterating at an insane rate but this is th…”

“First reflight of the Starship Super Heavy rocket booster coming up soon! [@SpaceX] Static fire of the Super Heavy preparing to launch Starship's ninth flight test. This booster previously launched and returned on Flight 7 and 29 of its 33 Raptor engines are flight proven”

“Starship V3 rocket booster [@SpaceX] Booster 19 preparing to begin prelaunch testing”

“@TheMarsSociety SpaceX is developing rockets needed to make life multiplanetary — full & rapid reusability at large scale. Even if SpaceX fails in that goal, the rockets will still be most advanced on Earth. Starlink‘s purpose is to provide Internet to the least served & to pay for Mars.”

“This is a real video of a past @SpaceX Starship water landing. Trying again tomorrow. We need to perfect ship reentry at extreme temperatures before attempting to catch the ship with the tower arms, like the booster. https://t.co/tss9Lb4fWr”

“Rocket garden at Starbase. You can see this from the public highway. [@DimaZeniuk] SpaceX Starship rocket garden”

“Great achievement by the @SpaceX team! [@johnkrausphotos] Hot-stage ring jettison following the first-ever successful re-flight of a Super Heavy booster during Starship Flight 9 today”

“Starship Super Heavy Booster, the most powerful moving object ever made by far [@SpaceX] First 33-engine static fire for Super Heavy V3”

“Staging is so hot rn [@SpaceX] Super Heavy booster going from hot-staging to tower catch on Starship's seventh flight test )”

“Raptor V3 just achieved 350 bar chamber pressure (269 tons of thrust). Congrats to @SpaceX propulsion team! Starship Super Heavy Booster has 33 Raptors, so total thrust of 8877 tons or 19.5 million pounds. https://t.co/ZlskpCXUmu”

“So many spaceships will be born in the Starbase Gigabay [@DimaZeniuk] SpaceX is constructing a $250 million GigaBay at Starbase to accelerate Starship production The 700,000-square-foot facility is designed to build up to 1,000 rockets per year”

“Starship flight on Monday ~5pm CT [@SpaceX] Flight-proven Super Heavy booster moved to the pad at Starbase ahead of launch”

“This talk is postponed until after the Starship Flight 9 launch tonight [@SpaceX] Watch an update from @elonmusk on SpaceX’s plan to make life multiplanetary https://x.com/i/broadcasts/1rmxPyOEBWXKN”

“Why is Starship made of stainless steel? This article from 5 years ago explains the reasons. Worth noting that the ship would have failed on reentry if made of aluminum or carbon fiber, as they can’t take the heat. https://t.co/QVAtv74quq https://www.popularmechanics.com/space/rockets/a25953663/elon-musk-spacex-bfr-stainless-steel/”

“Yes, at massive volume. Maybe as high as 10,000 ships per year. [@iam_smx] SpaceX is going to produce Starships like they're Aeroplanes With a $250 million Gigabay at Starbase, the company is accelerating Starship production. The 700,000-square-foot facility is designed to manufacture up to 1,000 rockets per year.”

“Starship test flight rocket just finished assembly at the @SpaceX Texas launch site. This is an actual picture, not a rendering. https://t.co/k1HkueoXaz”

“Travel anywhere on Earth (that’s willing to allow loud rockets) in half an hour or so at Mach 25! [@MarioNawfal] ELON WANTS TO REPLACE PLANES WITH ROCKETS SpaceX’s Starship could take you from New York to Sydney in under an hour. It skips jetlag by literally launching you into space and back down somewhere else. It’s like teleportation but with fire and Elon energy. Would you ditch”

“Starship is a planet-colonizer class rocket. The magnitude of that task makes every other space transport task trivial. [@ApoStructura] Starship HLS is going to have 135x the living volume of the Apollo LEM! Sci-fi shows from 10y ago imagined future landers would be ~10x larger than the LEM, but we’re skipping over an entire generation and going straight to giant multipurpose ships. SpaceX is 20 years ahead.”

“Making life multiplanetary [@SpaceX] The Road to Making Life Multiplanetary: an update from @elonmusk on SpaceX's plan to reach Mars”

“This is despite @SpaceX competitors increasing their launch rates. SpaceX is an anomaly in the matrix. Nothing can compare to a system designed to make life/consciousness multiplanetary. [@EvaFoxU] SpaceX will launch over 90% of all of Earth’s payload mass to orbit this year! 🤯 When Starship is launching at high rate, SpaceX will probably carry >99% of Earth’s payload mass to orbit!”

“Getting ready to launch Starship 💫 [@SpaceX] Super Heavy booster moved to the launch pad at Starbase ahead of Starship's tenth flight test”

“This is an accurate picture of orbital rocket launches so far this year. 90% Falcon with the massive @SpaceX Starship standing out very clearly. [@ApoStructura] All 258 rockets launched in 2025 so far, chronologically and at scale.”

“10 Earth-Mars transfer windows are needed to make Mars self-sustaining, ideally at least 20. 1/4 to 1/2 century. [@iam_smx] "Unless civilization collapses, SpaceX will make life multiplanetary." -Elon Musk )”

“@SpaceX For the first time ever, there is a rocket capable of establishing permanent bases on the moon and Mars”

“Raptor 3 has almost twice the thrust and much higher reliability than Raptor 1, despite costing about four times less! [@SpaceX] Raptor 3 is an unprecedented step forward in rocket engine design, which will help us increase Starship’s efficiency and the amount of mass Starship is able to deliver to space )”

“Starship Super Heavy testing [@SpaceX] Cryoproof operations complete for the first time with a Super Heavy V3 booster. This multi-day campaign tested the booster's redesigned propellant systems and its structural strength”

“Flight 10 Super Heavy Booster [@SpaceX] Full duration static fire of all 33 Raptor engines on the Super Heavy booster ahead of Starship's next flight test”

“🚀 [@NASA_LSP] Welcome to the LSP Fleet, Starship! @SpaceX's Starship rocket has been added to our NASA Launch Services II contract as part of the annual on-ramp process, which allows providers to introduce launch services not currently on contract. https://www.nasa.gov/news-release/nasa-awards-launch-services-contract-for-spacex-starship/”

“That is the goal [@XFreeze] Elon Musk: "The goal of SpaceX is to make life multiplanetary in order to extend the probable lifespan of consciousness That's been the goal from the beginning; you can see videos of me talking about this 20 years ago We need to transport a lot of people and equipment to Mars.… https://x.com/i/web/status/2010042446122758540”

“Best part is no part [@SpaceX] They’ll also be used for vehicle lift and catch, made possible by a new catch point addition and a lower positioning on the booster to align with the tower catch arms. Moving lower reduces the heat they receive from Starship’s engines at hot-staging and places the fin shaft,”
