@thesheetztweetz Seems like too many cooks in the kitchen

@ErcXspace @SpaceX @Erdayastronaut 🔥🔥

@alex_avoigt !!

@ID_AA_Carmack @shivon Always loved those Empire State photos with people eating lunch out on the beam

@brian_armstrong @MarkWarner Agreed, this is not the time to pick technology winners or losers in cryptocurrency technology. There is no crisis that compels hasty legislation.

@teslaownersSV Long time

An honor to work with such a great team

@DanaEn803 @Dr_ThomasZ @thesheetztweetz @SpaceX Sure

@Kristennetten @SpaceX It will be exciting to see what new cultures humanity creates on other heavenly bodies!

@Dr_ThomasZ @thesheetztweetz @SpaceX Due to its size & ability to return science instruments even from deep space, Starship will enable a whole new class of science missions

@WholeMarsBlog @NASASpaceflight @BBCAmos There is a reason no fully reusable orbital rocket has been built – it’s an insanely hard problem. Moreover, it must be rapidly & completely reusable (like an airplane). This is the only way to make life multiplanetary. Efficiencies of scale is why Starship is so large.

@BBCAmos @NASASpaceflight Ok

@WholeMarsBlog @NASASpaceflight @BBCAmos Higher structural margins overall are needed for reuse, plus: Booster - Grid fins for aero control - Boostback & landing propellant tanks - Protecting engines from entry loads Ship - Body flaps for aero control - Deorbit & landing propellant tanks - Heat shield

@Astro_Elliott @NASASpaceflight @BBCAmos Inevitably

@NASASpaceflight @BBCAmos Over time, we might get orbital payload up to ~150 tons with full reusabity. If Starship then launched as an expendable, payload would be ~250 tons. What isn’t obvious from this chart is that Starship/Super Heavy is much denser than Saturn V.

@thesheetztweetz It is ~98% done, but the remaining tiles are unique shapes requiring machining

@thesheetztweetz 4 significant items: - Final heat shield tiles for ship - Thermal protection of booster engines - Ground propellant storage tanks - QD arm for ship 2 weeks.

@thesheetztweetz Dream come true
