“@DJSnM But the Moon Station that Starship will enable will be great”

“@SciGuySpace I think we can do it. Progress is accelerating. Starship offers a path to far greater payload to the Moon than is currently anticipated in the Artemis program. A permanently crewed Moon base is possible.”

“@konstructivizm We will find many interesting things on the moons of Jupiter”

“@Rothmus Over time, SpaceX will enable anyone to go to space and travel to the moon and Mars”

“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.”

“@AdamSinger Easier to build a base on the moon than high speed rail in California”

“@esherifftv @SciGuySpace Starship will enable a permanently occupied moon base”

“@DavidSHolz A few other suggestions off-the-cuff: Foundation series Moon is a Harsh Mistress and the first 2/3 of Stranger in a Strange Land Starhammer (partly inspired Halo) Stainless Steel Rat”

“@PhysInHistory Major breakthrough. They used logarithms and slide rules to design the Saturn V moon rocket.”

“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.”

“This is an especially important mission. Some chance it may find signs of life in Europa, a moon of Jupiter!”

“@SenBillNelson @SpaceX Thank you! We look forward to supporting @NASA in returning American astronauts to the moon.”

“Congrats on landing on the moon!”

“@krassenstein @SpaceX Starship should be able to make it to the moon in less than 5 years”

“@growing_daniel Also, it’s not a “moon shot””

“@MattWalshBlog It is insane how many people have asked me if the moon landings are fake. The are indeed obviously real. Indeed, just as real as the tragic fact that we haven’t been back there in half a century. We should have built a permanent base on the moon and Mars by now!”

“@ESYudkowsky Our meat computers are feeble (sigh). We did get manage to get a few monkeys to the moon using rockets designed with slide rules, which is pretty impressive.”

“@AdrianDittmann Mars (and the moon)”

“@SciGuySpace His plan makes no sense. Just a worse version of Apollo. Starship will enable a permanently occupied moon base and even a city on the moon one day.”

“@johnpisaniphoto @considercosmos We will return to the moon soon”

“Only 66 years from first flight to landing on the moon, but now half a century has passed since the last moon landing. That cannot be our high water mark as a civilization. Humanity should have a moon base, cities on Mars and be out there among the stars!”

“@pmarca The Moon is a Harsh Mistress”

“Moon soon”

“@ID_AA_Carmack @ketogrillbakery Assuming ~0.5c is the resultant speed of the superheated plasma that remains of whoever got punched, simply attempting to transfer that much kinetic energy so fast would be comparable to a large thermonuclear explosion. And the moon would have a very large new crater.”

“@JonErlichman Your phone has more computing power than the entire Apollo moon program combined!”

“@paulg The mass & difficulty required to build a space habitat like that is extreme. Far better to have a base on the moon & city on Mars.”

“@YuqiiQian High time humanity built a permanently occupied base on the moon”

“@engineers_feed Neil A, which is alien spelled backwards, was first person on the moon, and the year was 69 …”

“@SpaceX Falcon over the moon”

“@BillyM2k Mimic + Dark Moon + Stars of Ruin”

“Moon brought us together in ‘69, Mars can do that in the future”

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

“@DadMurdos With int/dex talismans & physick. Throw moon to lower magic negation, followed by comet takes out almost anything fast. https://t.co/ewP2io199n”

“Back to the moon soon”

“@UniverCurious That always blows my mind. Sad thing is that we haven’t been back to the moon in half a century.”

“@Tesmanian_com The magnitude of the Starship program is not widely appreciated. It is designed to extend life to Mars (and the moon), which requires ~1000 times more payload to orbit than all current Earth rockets combined.”

“@SpaceXMR Tragically, it is not clear that the defense contractors can get to the moon for any amount of money. More than $200B has been spent on development of new US crewed space transport systems over past ~40 years, but only Dragon is flying. Development cost to NASA was <$2B.”

“@Tenjin37151 @Space_Station @SpaceX @Commercial_Crew @NASA @esa @JAXA_en @astro_kimbrough @Astro_Megan @Thom_astro @Aki_Hoshide As described in The Moon is a Harsh Mistress (great book), a linear accelerator would be great for the moon. Earth’s gravity is too high & atmosphere too dense for accelerators to be a good solution vs reusable boosters imo.”

“Yup, even the moon https://t.co/o9GrgL4hpe”

“@BryceSpaceTech Still basically nothing compared to the orbital mass flux needed for a base on moon or Mars”

“Please add your voice to the public comments. Support is greatly appreciated! Humanity’s future on the moon, Mars & beyond depends upon it. Thanks, Elon”

“@artemis360_moon @SpaceX Probably sooner”

“@SPEXcast @TrungTPhan Starship will be crushingly cost-effective for Earth orbit or moon missions as soon as it’s operational & rapid reuse is happening. Mars is a lot harder, because Earth & Mars only align every 26 months, so ship reuse is limited to ~dozen times over 25 to 30 year life of ship.”

“@ErcXspace And ship will be caught by Mechazilla too. As with booster, no landing legs. Those are only needed for moon & Mars until there is local infrastructure.”

“@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.”

“Someone suggested changing Dogecoin fees based on phases of the moon, which is pretty awesome haha”

“@michael_saylor Saylor Moon”

“SpaceX launching satellite Doge-1 to the moon next year – Mission paid for in Doge – 1st crypto in space – 1st meme in space To the mooooonnn!! https://t.co/xXfjGZVeUW https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=s3NWyh8a5t0”
