“Moonbase Alpha! https://t.co/SoTlsZcj9w [@johnkrausphotos] This is a real photo, not AI, of the Moon rising behind Starship. Let’s go to the Moon again. Let’s go and stay. Let’s go build Moon Base Alpha! Starship will do so 🚀”
“Starship will build Moonbase Alpha [@DimaZeniuk] SPACEX: Starship ready to take humanity’s first permanent step beyond Earth • Starship is designed to establish a permanent human presence beyond Earth, including lunar and planetary outposts; • Chosen for NASA’s Artemis program, it will land the first astronauts on the Moon”
“Starship lunar variant update [@SpaceX] Starship continues to simultaneously be the fastest path to returning humans to the surface of the Moon and a core enabler of the Artemis program’s goal to establish a permanent, sustainable presence on the lunar surface → http://spacex.com/updates/#moon-and-beyond”
“Moon Base Alpha [@Gwynne_Shotwell] I can’t wait to go to the Moon!”
“Nice work by the @xAI team on https://t.co/op5s4ZiSwh! The goal here is to create an open source, comprehensive collection of all knowledge. Then place copies of that etched in a stable oxide in orbit, the Moon and Mars to preserve it for the future. Foundation. http://Grokipedia.com”
“A permanently crewed lunar science base would be far more impressive than a repeat of what was already done incredibly well by Apollo in 1969 [@Truthful_ast] Blue Origin could likely land on the Moon before SpaceX but this is Blue Moon Mk1, a small lander testbed for Blue Moon Mk2 that would provide no value if man rated. So why bother man rating it to beat China? China doesn’t plan on flags and footprints, they plan on permanent”
“@imPenny2x @SecDuffyNASA They won’t. SpaceX is moving like lightning compared to the rest of the space industry. Moreover, Starship will end up doing the whole Moon mission. Mark my words.”
“@SecDuffyNASA Blue Origin has never delivered a payload to orbit, let alone the Moon”

“With rare exception, ideas really are trivial compared to execution. For example, the idea of going to the Moon is simple, but ACTUALLY going to the Moon is staggeringly difficult.”

“🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸 [@SecDuffyNASA] In 2027, we WILL return American astronauts to the Moon. We won yesterday's space race. We'll win today's space race against China, and we'll always win tomorrow's space race. @SpaceX's Starship test flight success moves us one step closer toward achieving that goal.”
“RT @cb_doge: One took us to the Moon. The other will take us to Mars and beyond. https://t.co/r4iJ3eXrMh”
“@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.”
“Total revenue that SpaceX will receive from NASA this year is ~$1B out of ~$15B total, so ~7%. Moreover, NASA is paying SpaceX for astronaut & cargo transport to the Space Station, launching research satellites and some work for returning to the Moon. All of these contracts”

“Using Grok Imagine to fly around Mars! You can do the same for the Moon, Mount Everest, time travel to ancient Egypt or even fictional places like Middle Earth or imaginary planets. [@EngineeringInsd] Brought some @NASA pics from Mars to life with Imagine.”
“Kids love using Grok Imagine, because they can speak their ideas and watch the images update immediately [@imPenny2x] Grok imagine collaboration with my 6 year old daughter. Prompt: A green dragon flying a rocket ship to mars to meet Elon Musk. He’s in space and there are a bunch of stars that look like robots. He’s gonna make an invention where you can golf on the moon without the balls”

“Cool [@itsPaulAi] Wow Grok 4 is incredibly good This is the 1st model to generate such a good 3D simulation of the earth, moon and satellites 🔥 It found the textures by itself and calculated all the details: - Cloud layer - Sun lightning - Earth & moon rotation - Satellites w/ different”

“@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.”
“@DJSnM The ISS requires a lot of care and feeding. Time to say goodbye and move on to the Moon and Mars.”
“Tax complexity looks like a rocket going to the Moon!”
“@SciGuySpace Starship can also be used to create a large, permanently crewed Moon Base Alpha research station”
“To the Moon and beyond!”
“Current Starship is more than twice as powerful as the Saturn V Moon rocket. Starship V3, which hopefully flies in about a year, will be 3X more powerful.”
“Starship is now more than twice as powerful as the Saturn V Moon rocket and, in a year or so, it will be three times as powerful at 10,000 metric tons of thrust. More importantly, it is designed to be fully reusable, burning ~80% liquid oxygen and ~20% liquid methane (very low…”
“@pmarca We should have a major science station and then city on the Moon! That would be so awesome.”
“@kimbal Starship can enable a permanently crewed science station on the Moon, which would be super cool! Moonbase Alpha!!”
“@george_sowers Orbital refilling is essential to get serious tonnage to Mars and Moon”
“@ajtourville @SpaceX The new launch pad is already designed for the 10,000 tons of thrust version, which is almost exactly 3 times more powerful than the Saturn V Moon rocket”
“@cb_doge More than twice the power of the Saturn V Moon rocket. Next version will be 3X.”
“@SenBillNelson @SpaceX Thank you, sir! Looking forward to serving NASA in returning humanity to the Moon.”
“Looks like Starship might fly on Sunday! This the largest & most powerful flying object ever made at more than double the thrust of the Saturn V Moon rocket. We will try to catch it upon return to launch site using the Mechazilla arms like giant chopsticks (like Karate Kid)!”
“@SawyerMerritt The astronauts will be the furthest from Earth since the Apollo Moon missions and do a spacewalk that is also the furthest from Earth ever”
“The Moon looks amazing”
