“Starship is by far the most powerful flying object ever created”

“@LadoBitnar I am highly confident that we can send several uncrewed Starships to Mars in 2 years. If those ships don’t increment the crater count on Mars, then crewed ships can be sent in 4 years.”

“The biggest technology challenge remaining for Starship is a fully & immediately reusable heat shield. Being able to land the ship, refill propellant & launch right away with no refurbishment or laborious inspection. That is the acid test.”

“Successful ocean landing of Starship! We will do one more ocean landing of the ship. If that goes well, then SpaceX will attempt to catch the ship with the tower.”

“8 minutes to liftoff of Starship! https://t.co/Ngu7VnFsh9 https://x.com/i/broadcasts/1RDGlydZAeOJL”

“Starship will go halfway around the world in ~45 mins”

“Honored to have President @realDonaldTrump at our Starship launch!”

“The chart below is due for an update, but is roughly accurate. Flight 6 liftoff thrust is ~7500 tons and mass is ~5000 tons. The tanker version of Starship V3 will weigh over 7000 tons. By comparison, the heaviest Boeing 747 is less than 500 tons fully loaded.”

“Starbase is an area that experiences storms and hurricanes that are far more serious than Starship launches. The real headline of this article is boring, because it would say “Starship Launches Cause No Damage” 😂”

“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.”

“The objectives for Starship Flight 6 are: 1. Restart of Raptor engines in vacuum. 2. Daylight landing of the ship. 3. Higher peak heating (steeper) reentry. 4. Faster/harder booster catch. There are thousands of small design changes also being tested.”

“If you look closely, you can see a human walking around the base of the rocket. Each Raptor rocket engine produces twice as much thrust as all 4 engines on a 747. There are 33 Raptor engines powering the Starship rocket booster. https://t.co/VHLGlJWtoJ”

“Starship Flight 6 tomorrow https://t.co/oOdRG30qOl”

“With Starship, humanity finally has a rocket design capable of making life multiplanetary”

“Watch the Starship flight live on 𝕏!”

“Tuesday flight of Starship looks promising”

“Great video of Starship Super Heavy Booster landing as seen from Mexico! 🇲🇽 https://t.co/R695MUaicc”

“Getting ready for Starship Flight 6!”

“Starship Flight 6 coming up soon! https://t.co/WgtLjxsP52”

“Starship Flight 6 coming up soon”

“@Starship_block2 😂”

“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…”

“@teslaownersSV Still hard to believe that Starship is real”

“@ajtourville There isn’t even enough helium produced on Earth to supply a high flight rate Starship”

“Many Starships will go to Mars in 2 years, when the transit window opens again. The first wave will be without people and the second wave, 26 months later, with people, provided the first wave does not increment the crater count on Mars.”

“Starship rocket booster with human for scale”

“Starship will lengthen in the next few years. 10 years from now, there will probably be a much wider diameter Starship too.”

“@kevinrose @Starlink And it will improve significantly when Starship starts launching the third generation satellites at 350km altitude (5 ms speed of light round trip latency) with larger antennas that allow for multi-gigabit bandwidth”

“@kimbal Starship can enable a permanently crewed science station on the Moon, which would be super cool! Moonbase Alpha!!”

“Starship achieved a precise, soft landing in the ocean, paving the way for return to launch site and being caught by the tower arms, like the booster. Full & rapid reusability improves the cost of access to orbit & beyond by >10,000%. It is the fundamental technology…”

“Starship is a big step forward on the Kardashev scale, as it leads to harnessing vastly more power from the sun”

“@spacesudoer Shana is awesome. Many years ago, I asked her to lead the early VTOL development of Falcon (aka Grasshopper) and she did great work. Now, Shana is a senior member of the Starship engineering team.”

“@SciGuySpace Good chance that Starship achieves full stack reusability in 2025, which is the critical breakthrough needed to make life multiplanetary”

“The next generation Starlink satellites, which are so big that only Starship can launch them, will allow for a 10X increase in bandwidth and, with the reduced altitude, faster latency”

“Just inspected the Starship booster, which the arms have now placed back in its launch mount. Looks great! A few outer engine nozzles are warped from heating & some other minor issues, but these are easily addressed. Starship is designed to achieve reflight of its rocket… https://t.co/oWZoOOfHmk”

“Starship rocket booster caught by tower https://t.co/aOQmSkt6YE”

“Profile pic changed to Starship Flight 5”

“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)!”

“@ZealotOcelot @ajtourville @SpaceX SpaceX will deliver ~90% of all of Earth’s mass to orbit this year. Once Starship is flying regularly, SpaceX will deliver >99% of mass to orbit, unless some other company creates a large, fully reusable rocket.”

“@ID_AA_Carmack Best case 2028, but probably 2030. If SpaceX is not smothered by regulations, then the Starship launch rate will far exceed the Falcon launch rate, as Starship fully reusable, while Falcon is only mostly reusable. Starship should be doing >1000 Earth orbit flights per year by…”

“Starships were mean to fly”

“@Austen A surprising number of people don’t understand what a profound level unlock full reusability is. It is the holy grail of rocketry and the fundamental breakthrough needed to make life multiplanetary. Starship is designed for full & rapid reusability – launch, land, refill…”

“Starship is ready to fly!!”

“Starships will get much bigger in the future”

“Starship Super Heavy Booster Flight 4 https://t.co/EMGpNVn58Q”

“@ajtourville A stainless steel Starship is essentially the same mass as an advanced carbon fiber or aluminum-lithium version, given that it is a reusable rocket, as steel can handle much higher heat loads, requiring less shielding, and its strength increases dramatically at cryogenic…”

“By the way, our commercial Starlink program is the primary source of funding for Starship (NASA is helping too). So thank for buying Starlink and supporting humanity’s future in space. If you look closely at your Starlink router, you will notice that it has an illustration of…”

“SpaceX plans to launch about five uncrewed Starships to Mars in two years. If those all land safely, then crewed missions are possible in four years. If we encounter challenges, then the crewed missions will be postponed another two years. It is only possible to travel from…”

“@ajtourville The main reason for coming in belly first is due to the subsonic orientation being a natural outcome of the center of mass and center of pressure being where they are needed for Starship to survive hypersonic heating by maintaining a ~70 degree angle of attack. Can’t come in…”
