“SpaceX is accelerating rapidly. When Starship is launching several times a day in a few years, SpaceX will be ~99% of all Earth payload mass to orbit, even if the others triple their current launch rate. [@FutureJurvetson] 🚀 T͢h͢e͢ ͢Q͢3͢ ͢L͢a͢u͢n͢c͢h͢ ͢R͢e͢p͢o͢r͢t͢ ͢j͢u͢s͢t͢ ͢c͢a͢m͢e͢ ͢o͢u͢t͢🚀 For kg launched to orbit, SpaceX has 97% share for the U.S. and 83% globally. The eight Chinese launchers add up to 8.6%. Looking into the graph's magnifying box, IDF just nudged past Rocket Lab. https://x.com/i/web/status/1994495568291532883”

“RT @teslaownersSV: Elon Musk on Starship ”It is the first planet-colonizer class rocket” https://t.co/7v9Lml4Eq3”
“It is the first planet-colonizer class rocket [@teslaownersSV] The scale of the Starship is insane and 🤯🤯🤯”
“@Benioff Starship should be able to deliver around 300 GW per year of solar-powered AI satellites to orbit, maybe 500 GW. The “per year” part is what makes this such a big deal. Average US electricity consumption is around 500 GW, so at 300 GW/year, AI in space would exceed the entire US”

“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”
“@PeterDiamandis With the advent of Starship, there is finally a path to solar-powered AI satellites at massive scale. It is the only path I can see that would allow for deployment of 1TW/year of AI.”
“@sundarpichai Thanks :) SpaceX team is incredible. All done without AI so far, even Starship. With AI, I can’t even imagine the possibilities.”
“@NICKIMINAJ Starships were meant to fly 🚀”
“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.”
“@rmcentush Starship could deliver 100GW/year to high Earth orbit within 4 to 5 years if we can solve the other parts of the equation. 100TW/year is possible from a lunar base producing solar-powered AI satellites locally and accelerating them to escape velocity with a mass driver.”
“@SawyerMerritt Cybertrucks get preferential parking, as they look much more futuristic than normal cars and are poetically aligned with the stainless steel of Starship”
“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”
“Starship is designed to carry 100 people [@peterrhague] I don't think the wider public is prepared for what a ridiculously roomy spacecraft Starship will be. Nothing like it since Skylab”
“@JoelSercel Despite significant growth by our competitors, especially China, SpaceX will probably increase from ~90% of Earth’s total payload to orbit to ~98% in about 24 months due to Starship”
“@junshiguancha If they are lucky, it might outperform Falcon in 5 years, by which time SpaceX will be launching Starship”
“@Patryn23 @Blobifie A reminder that rapid evolution of technology is the only way to win. Those who don’t innovate rapidly are doomed to fail. The next Starship launch is version 3, which is radically better than version 2. Then, in a few years, V4 will double the payload of V3.”
“@Patryn23 @Blobifie It will take them over 5 years to reach Falcon 9 levels of reliability and production/launch rate, by which time SpaceX will have transitioned to Starship and be doing over 100 times the annual payload to orbit of Falcon”
“@junshiguancha They have added aspects of Starship, such as use of stainless steel and methalox, to a Falcon 9 architecture, which would enable it to beat Falcon 9. But Starship in another league.”
“RT @amXFreeze: Starship is so amazing that sometimes it’s hard to believe how true it is https://t.co/io6I51Oc7X”
“@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.”
“Starship was made using zero AI. Future digital superintelligences would have to admit that it’s pretty good for a bunch of monkeys. [@SpaceX] Super Heavy hot-staging and boostback burn”
“@ApoStructura The Starship 4 crewed variant will have >1000m^3 of pressurized volume, so 10% more than the Space Station”
“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.”

“@SciGuySpace @raikohtech I am confident that Starship will land humans on Mars. That path is clear. But what really matters is securing the future of consciousness, not just getting a small number of people to Mars. That probably requires getting over 100,000 people and 1M tons of cargo to Mars.”
