Design & production of The Spirit of St Louis was so incredible https://t.co/IkBliEcSae — PolitiTweet.org

@bitbased @Antsmash @joseph_preece @Erdayastronaut @SpaceXFan97 @lister6520 @justpaulinelol @MattLBates That’s actually kinda true — PolitiTweet.org

Elon Musk @elonmusk

@SpaceXFan97 @lister6520 @justpaulinelol @MattLBates @Erdayastronaut Almost anything. Length/diameter is much lower & Starship doesn’t have a hammerhead fairing that acts like main sail. — PolitiTweet.org

Elon Musk @elonmusk

@lister6520 @justpaulinelol @MattLBates @Erdayastronaut You’re touching on a good critique of Falcon 9. Our 1st stage to 2nd stage propellant ratio is too high. We’re fixing that with Starship. — PolitiTweet.org

Elon Musk @elonmusk

@baconmashwbs @Canis_Majoris_6 @YusifzadaAgshin That would be unwise. Probably needs a restraint mechanism like Disney’s Space Mountain roller coaster. Would feel similar to Space Mountain in a lot of ways, but you’d exit on another continent. — PolitiTweet.org

Elon Musk @elonmusk

@Canis_Majoris_6 @YusifzadaAgshin ~1000, as all seats would be “coach” & no toilets, pilot area or food galley needed. Most flights would only be 15 to 20 mins. It’s basically an ICBM traveling at Mach 25 that lands. — PolitiTweet.org

Elon Musk @elonmusk

@YusifzadaAgshin About 100, assuming people want cabins. Pressurized volume is similar to A380. Could take a lot more on shorter trips. — PolitiTweet.org

Elon Musk @elonmusk

@Erdayastronaut @SciGuySpace That was our design approach in early days, but fairing mass is much higher & stability of booster in ground winds is low — PolitiTweet.org

Elon Musk @elonmusk

@C3LT_Games @SciGuySpace There will be no Block 6. Moving to Starship architecture. — PolitiTweet.org

Elon Musk @elonmusk

@ebelliveau @SciGuySpace Frangible would def hurt reusability. Also, presumably those quarter sections are actuated or aero control will be impossible. — PolitiTweet.org

Elon Musk @elonmusk

@SciGuySpace Good to see this. Splitting interstage into 4 sections will have some challenges, but could work. — PolitiTweet.org

@Cocalarix @romaarra Probably sooner — PolitiTweet.org

Elon Musk @elonmusk

@Erdayastronaut @justpaulinelol @MattLBates Most likely. It is programmed to do so. — PolitiTweet.org

@MattLBates @Erdayastronaut I know … sigh. Those are truly a work of art. — PolitiTweet.org

Elon Musk @elonmusk

@SptlightVids @SpaceX Yes, but we couldn’t take a chance on 2nd stage failing it’s 4th maneuver. This mission was more complex than anything I’m aware of in history of rockets. RIP center core, you did your duty well. — PolitiTweet.org

@SpaceXUpdates @Erdayastronaut High payload/delta-V missions will always be far downrange. Value of boost stage is measured (essentially) by *horizontal* velocity imparted to upper stage. Altitude is almost unimportant. — PolitiTweet.org
