Also, I stole the idea from Spaceballs https://t.co/1ozau39PQZ

@NatureNews Take note

@Erdayastronaut @Tyler0309 @TheVondo About right, but dangerously chuggy & risking bad things at 40%. We’ll keep it above 50% for this flight.

@alvianchoiri @joe_mckirdy @13ericralph31 @JHC2718 @StephanieeeeeJ More like 30 to 40 mT to GTO ~27 deg. Plane change is 2*v*sin θ/2, as I recall, but doesn’t matter, as there’s no geo 🛰 anywhere near that mass.

@flcnhvy @joe_mckirdy @13ericralph31 @JHC2718 @StephanieeeeeJ 3

@joe_mckirdy @13ericralph31 @JHC2718 @StephanieeeeeJ 100mT to 125mT for true useful load to useful orbit (eg Starlink mission), including propellant reserves. 150mT for reference payload compared to other rockets. This is in fully reusable config. About double in fully expendable config, which is hopefully never.

@Erdayastronaut Cont of main

@JHC2718 @StephanieeeeeJ We changed the design quite a bit. More about this in late July.

~20m up & sideways for first flight. Mk1 Starship hopefully 20km up in a few months.

@MartianDays Sure

Raptor engine mounted on Starhopper. Aiming for hover test Tues.

@EvaFoxU @Tesla Great team
