“Starship Fully Stacked https://t.co/Fs88RNsmfH”

“All 6 engines mounted to first orbital Starship https://t.co/l5QnQRSg3D”

“Installing Starship booster engines for first orbital flight https://t.co/yhqrNFBclh”

“@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.”

“@DJSnM Orbital precession takes a long time. With Starship & Starlink V2.0, hopefully we can direct inject to target orbit.”

“@PPathole Most people have no idea Starship exists or how large this beast is! Body diameter (9m or 30 ft) is bigger than a 747 or A380. Starship thrust & mass are more than double Saturn V moon rocket. Making life multiplanetary means massive rockets. Got to be done.”

“@johnkrausphotos @SpaceX @PortCanaveral Version 3 of the SpaceX droneship. Team did great work! Will be epic to see the deep sea oil rigs converted to ocean spaceports for Starship.”

“@DJSnM We could stretch the Falcon Heavy upper stage & increase this a lot, but FH already covers all known payloads. Starship, especially with orbital refilling & dedicated deep space variants (no heatshield, flaps or header tanks) will take this up orders of magnitude.”

“@REQNews Yes, we can fly Starship around space & chomp up debris with the moving fairing door”

“@LifeboatHQ Doubling diameter increases mass 4X, but difficulty of simultaneously building & launching rocket of that size is >>4X. In retrospect, <9m diameter for Starship might have been wise. Current size is ~5200 ton stack mass & ~7500 ton-F thrust, which is more than double Saturn V.”

“@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.”

“@Erdayastronaut Great shot! Btw, Starship Super Heavy will not have an entry burn. Delta-v is shifted more to the ship, so booster entry Q & heating is lower.”

“@DogecoinRise Starship Super Heavy”

“@PPathole @DELTA_V @spacex360 After several successful launches, land overflight earlier in trajectory passes E-sub-c safety threshold. That said, Starship will also launch from Cape long-term.”

“@Adamklotz_ @BryceSpaceTech Starlink missions will move to Starship”

“@PPathole @nextspaceflight @NASASpaceflight @BocaChicaGal @SpaceX Actually, so-called “secondary” structure is the hard part – so many pipes & wires. Tall stuff & small stuff are the toughest things about Starship.”

“Starship landing nominal!”

“@RationalEtienne @Erdayastronaut @Twisi80 Starship is literally more pointy because of that movie haha”

“Starship SN15 static fire completed, preparing for flight later this week”

“The Starship launch tower that catches the giant rocket booster is basically Mechazilla”

“@_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).”

“@PPathole Starship booster, largest flying object ever designed, will be caught out of sky by launch tower. Big step forward, as reflight can be done in under an hour.”

“@TerminalCount The Starships feast in Valhalla!”

“Possible Starship flight tomorrow afternoon”

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

“@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.”

“@PPathole @SpaceX SpaceX team is doing great work! One day, the true measure of success will be that Starship flights are commonplace.”

“Starship SN10 landed in one piece!”

“5 mins to Starship test flight attempt”

“Starship launch tomorrow. Window opens at 9am.”

“Starship to the moon https://t.co/tVMJbBk3BU”

“Starship SN9 & SN10 https://t.co/urtPJn7amo”

“Today at SpaceX is about practicing Starship engine starts. Ship is held down by massive pins while engines are fired. Two starts completed, about to try a third.”

“@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.”

“@Erdayastronaut @flcnhvy @ErcXspace Production is hard, prototypes are easy. Building ~1000 Starships to create a self-sustaining city on Mars is our mission.”

“@MarcusHouseGame @bcart03 @nextspaceflight @NASASpaceflight Starship legs are one of the hardest problems. Externally mounted legs require shielding, which adds mass. Wider stance adds mass. Shock absorbers add mass. That said, we need better legs.”

“Good Starship SN8 static fire! Aiming for first 15km / ~50k ft altitude flight next week. Goals are to test 3 engine ascent, body flaps, transition from main to header tanks & landing flip.”

“@Erdayastronaut @MarcusHouseGame Maybe start on that a year from now. Depends on how Starship progress goes.”

“@PhilippeCROIZON @SpaceX One day we will fly you on Starship”

“@peterrhague It’s designed to make life multiplanetary, otherwise extreme overkill for mere Earth sector activity! Starship fleet mass to orbit per year will be more than 1000 times all current Earth rockets combined, including Falcon. Necessary, for a city on Mars.”

“@Erdayastronaut @tobyliiiiiiiiii @austinbarnard45 @SuperclusterHQ I’m in Boca every week, so maybe we could talk then. Given that Starship is not exactly subtle, this is more of a design clarification to match what people can already see.”

“@austinbarnard45 @SuperclusterHQ Great pics! That we now have the beginnings of a Starship production system is most meaningful.”

“@SpacePadreIsle Starship is coming together!”

“Starship nosecone, high bay & tiki bar https://t.co/9qXYxMMIUj”

“Data from 3 engine Starship static fire this morning looks good. Proceeding with nosecone mate.”

“@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.”

“@skorusARK Marginal cost of Starship mass to orbit should be well under $100/kg. Fully burdened cost depends on flight rate.”

“@PPathole @alvianchoiri Roughly a week or two turnaround is all that’s needed to meet max launch demand. Starship Super Heavy is designed for reflight in less than an hour.”

“@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.”

“@austinbarnard45 Weld esthetics will improve greatly in upcoming Starships”
