“At 5000 tons, Starship is the largest flying object ever made. Thrust is more than double the Saturn V moon rocket. It is the first spaceship design capable of making life multiplanetary. Goal of the next mission is to make it through the meteorically extreme heat of reentry.”
“Starship is the first rocket/spaceship capable of making life multiplanetary, which requires it to be both far more powerful and far more advanced than anything that came before. [@johnkrausphotos] Starship: Humans for scale. Flight 8 today. )”
“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”
“Technically, two parts: Starship is the spaceship/upper stage & Super Heavy is the rocket booster needed to escape Earth’s deep gravity well (not needed for other planets or moons)”
“@Erdayastronaut @thesheetztweetz @BryceSpaceTech @SpaceX @Arianespace @ArianeGroup @roscosmos @northropgrumman @ulalaunch @torybruno @isro @RocketLab The Starship fleet is designed to achieve over 1000 times more payload to orbit than all other rockets on Earth combined. Almost no one understands this.”
“@rookisaacman Starship is the first rocket/spaceship with the potential to make life multiplanetary”
“@thesheetztweetz @BryceSpaceTech @SpaceX @roscosmos @Arianespace @ArianeGroup @northropgrumman @RocketLab @ulalaunch @VirginOrbit @torybruno Upmass is what matters. One Starship will lift what all Falcons did in Q2 on a single flight.”
“@SpceEnthusiast @tjmurphy_mit @thesheetztweetz @ExploreMars @SpaceX @TheeSpaceDude Over time, outer 20 will have ~300 tons of thrust & inner 8 ~210, so roughly 7500 tons total at sea level or 1.5 T/W for booster+ship”
“The Starship factory is stunning [@jawwwn_] SpaceX COO @Gwynne_Shotwell: “I love working for @elonmusk.” “He’s funny— he’s hilarious actually.” “He focuses on things that I would never have thought were important.” “One is— beautiful spaces.” “This is one of the most beautiful factories I have ever seen.” Via @TIME”
“Grok Imagine prompt: The bare necessities with a jovial grizzly bear in a sleek, silver spacesuit on Mars, rockets gleaming in the background under a crimson sunset glow. https://t.co/ECqOMFX1za”
“@RocketRick @Twitter Social media in general, especially Twitter, were eroding civilization. If civilization collapses before Mars becomes self-sustaining, then nothing else matters. Human consciousness is gone.”
“@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).”
“@RajveerJolly We are developing the interplanetary rocket and spaceship to allow anyone to travel to the moon, Mars & beyond, regardless of nationality”
“@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.”
“@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 😀”
“@Dr_ThomasZ @thesheetztweetz @SpaceX Due to its size & ability to return science instruments even from deep space, Starship will enable a whole new class of science missions”
“@spacesudoer That was not the founding of SpaceX. We were in Russia to negotiate buying some ICBMs and converting them to launch a philanthropic mission to Mars. I later came to realize that the problem wasn’t the will to go to Mars – there is plenty of public interest – but rather that…”
“@Erdayastronaut @sivanithu @tobyliiiiiiiiii @cabral_psyd @imatsb @thesheetztweetz @SciGuySpace @Some1gee @RocketLab @Peter_J_Beck Production is by *far* the hard part. That’s why I’m not super worried about early Starship failures. Initial serial numbers are suboptimal, so would be lawn ornaments if they survived. That said, as lawn ornaments go, they’re pretty sweet …”
“RT @spacesudoer: The title of the upcoming talk by @elonmusk is "Mars 2026 Company Talk" in SpaceX's source code. Mars 2026 LFG!!! https:/…”
“@sivanithu @tobyliiiiiiiiii @cabral_psyd @Erdayastronaut @imatsb @thesheetztweetz @SciGuySpace @Some1gee @RocketLab Some of the small launcher activity is cool, especially @rocketlab. Downsides are helicopter retrieval doesn’t scale to bigger rockets & is highly weather-dependent. Also, propulsive landing is needed for moon/Mars. That said, it’s probably right move for small LEO vehicle.”
“@SpceEnthusiast @tjmurphy_mit @thesheetztweetz @ExploreMars @SpaceX @TheeSpaceDude Yeah”
“@RationalEtienne @thesheetztweetz @BryceSpaceTech @SpaceX @roscosmos @Arianespace @ArianeGroup @northropgrumman @RocketLab @ulalaunch @VirginOrbit @torybruno Mass to orbit is the fundamental metric for making life multiplanetary”
“Pictures of people working inside Starship [@spacesudoer] Starship is gigantic!”
“@WholeMarsBlog The question is not finding a CEO, the question is finding a CEO who can keep Twitter alive”
“🇺🇸🇺🇸 [@WholeMarsBlog] Elon Musk bought Twitter for $44 billion when it was worth half that He cut 80% of the workforce that was not doing anything useful, unwavering against angry cries. He used the data to create xAI, which is now valued at $75 billion. X is now sustainably profitable for the”
“A tweet/post is how I initiated the dozen or so startups that constitute Tesla. Tesla has made very few acquisitions. Our growth is ~90% organic. We didn’t “play to our core strengths”, we created core strengths from nothing. [@WholeMarsBlog] The tweet Ashok responded to that got him hired at Tesla”
“I will do a Starship Spaces at 6pm CT tomorrow for subscribers only”
“@WholeMarsBlog The people of Twitter strongly agree that Twitter needs to be fixed”
“❤️ [@WholeMarsBlog] I was banned from Twitter when I ran an account called Steve Jobs Ghost. My Cyberstalker Aaron Jacob Greenspan was terrorizing me and many others, and sent a bunch of fake copyright takedown notices to Twitter to get them to take my account then. A federal court later ruled I”
“Exactly [@WholeMarsBlog] Boycotting the brand, tweeting about how you hate Elon, peacefully assembling in public spaces… all fair game! Hurting innocent people, destroying property, shooting up stores… terrorism! Pretty simple”
“@WholeMarsBlog Twitter is not the real world”
“@WholeMarsBlog There is so much potential with Twitter to be the most trusted & broadly inclusive forum in the world!”
“@WholeMarsBlog Record numbers of users are logging in to see if Twitter is dead, ironically making it more alive than ever!”
“@WholeMarsBlog I’m worried that Twitter has a disincentive to reduce spam, as it reduces perceived daily users”
“@WholeMarsBlog In reality, Twitter is doing a much better job of combating disinformation. @CommunityNotes is a big part of that.”
“The rumor that I'm building a spaceship to get back to my home planet Mars is totally untrue”
“Impressive Tianwen-1 Mars rover mission launched by China today https://t.co/FsyA3I0HrU https://www.space.com/amp/china-tianwen-1-mars-mission-launch.html?__twitter_impression=true”
“@RobertMSterling @WholeMarsBlog @nytimes Pretty much only time I see NYT articles is when they’re mentioned here. Their readership, especially user-minutes per day, is tiny compared to this platform.”
“@WholeMarsBlog Interesting, given that OpenAI has no authorized X/Twitter feed”
“To activate the Model X holiday performance, just type holidays or ModelXmas after pressing the logo. Also, Mars. https://t.co/8Cy7YPlECX”
“@wholemars S and X will always continue to exist in the fleet, just not in production, but it is still a little sad”
“@Gfilche @realGeorgeHotz @WholeMarsBlog World-class software aces are joining Twitter”
“@thesheetztweetz @QuiltyAnalytics First Starship orbital flight will be with Raptor 2 engines, as they are much more capable & reliable. 230 ton or ~500k lb thrust at sea level. We’ll have 39 flightworthy engines built by next month, then another month to integrate, so hopefully May for orbital flight test.”
“@marmars Major video upgrades coming to this platform!”
“@WholeMarsBlog @SawyerMerritt @Tesla He doesn’t get enough negative feedback. This platform is great for that :).”
“@thesheetztweetz Work needed between flights is less & less, as shown by shortening time between reflights. Required work between flights for Starship & Super Heavy is zero.”
“@WholeMarsBlog Me & this platform, for example”
“@marmars Please add your suggestions for features & fixes in this reply thread. We want video on this platform to be the best in the world.”
