“@ashleevance If things go well, SpaceX will put about 50% more tonnage in orbit this year using Falcon, which would be above 90% market share. Once Starship is in full swing building a city on Mars, it will do ~99% of all payload to orbit & beyond, as that objective requires about a megaton…”

“Starship will take humanity to Mars https://t.co/BMBNI2mMKF”
“@ID_AA_Carmack @SpaceX Starship will have a small spin on the way to Mars. Even a tiny gravity vector is better than none.”
“@DanielleFong Much more so than Mars!”
“@MarcusHouse Building a city on Mars will take many launches”
“But then I started thinking about Mars”
“@teslaownersSV We are mapping out a game plan to get a million people to Mars. Civilization only passes the single-planet Great Filter when Mars can survive even if Earth supply ships stop coming.”
“@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!”
“@BasedBeffJezos @Scobleizer @trengriffin The difficulty of communicating with Mars varies tremendously, with the worst case being when it is on the opposite side of the Sun from Earth. For terabit-level bandwidth, the best option is probably a series of laser communication satellites at varying distances from the Sun…”
“@AdrianDittmann Mars (and the moon)”
“@shaunmmaguire It just in order to build a self-sustaining city on Mars”
“@thomashawk That diagram is the Hohmann transfer orbit from Earth to Mars”
“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!”
“@krassenstein We need to be on Mars by 2033”
“@spacesudoer Yeah, wrong planet for SSTO. No problem on Mars with ~37% Earth gravity.”
“@teslaownersSV Hop in boys we’re going to Mars”
“@TrungTPhan @Mukhtar77000 People often ask me if there is water on Mars https://t.co/T3MDlyXdI2”
“Hopefully, there will be a thriving base on Mars in 15 years!”
“Gateway to Mars”
“@AMAZlNGNATURE Good thing we moved humanity to Mars”
“@teslaownersSV Hope in, we’re goin to Mars!”
“@esherifftv True 😂 Biggest rocket of all time by far and the first design capable of colonizing Mars, but public awareness is ironically tiny.”
“@Nate_Esparza Mars might have a bigger brand”
“@imPenny2x And deliver over 200 tons of payload to a useful orbit with full & rapid reusability. 50 rockets flying every 3 days on average enables over a megaton of payload to orbit per year – enough to build a self-sustaining city on Mars.”
“Prelude to Mars”
“@imPenny2x Slight possibility of Mars”
“@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.”
“@SmokeAwayyy With booster ultimately flying up to ~20 times per day & ship flying up to ~5 times per day. Useful load to Mars is ~150 metric tons, but requires ~5 orbital refilling tanker flights. Target: >1 megaton of cargo & people delivered to Mars, so that it becomes self-sustaining.”
“@sterlingcrispin I will die in America (or Mars if lucky)”
“@ThePrashanthCB @dogeofficialceo I hear you, but we’re not getting to Mars if civilization falls apart before then!”
“One day, Starship will take us to Mars”
“@ray4tesla Hopefully, humanity will reach Mars in 20 years”
“@Rainmaker1973 Hop in, we’re going to Mars!”
“And that’s how we will land on Mars”
“@MarcusYafeelus @matthewloop @ScottAdamsSays Better hustle with the Mars rockets!”
“@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.”
“Starship takes beings of Earth to Mars https://t.co/6qaIc3p4yA”
“A little more progress to Mars”
“@ThePrashanthCB @viniciuscfp82 Mars plans are still moving forward”
“@narutium @SawyerMerritt Falcon can probably get Starlink past breakeven, but Starship is needed to fund Mars”
“@teslaownersSV I hope there is a self-sustaining city on Mars in 20 years!”
“This will be Mars one day https://t.co/nf4hML8dKx”
“Mars may be a fixer upper of a planet, but it has great potential!”
“@tim_ottawa @teslaownersSV Mars is, admittedly, a fixer upper of a planet”
“Population of Mars is still zero people!”
“Moon brought us together in ‘69, Mars can do that in the future”
“Humanity will reach Mars in your lifetime”
“@SpaceX For the first time ever, there is a rocket capable of establishing permanent bases on the moon and Mars”
“@Erdayastronaut Mars colonial transporter”
“@baierm588 Build 1000+ Starships to transport life to Mars. Basically, (very) modern Noah’s Arks.”
