@Teslarati @KlenderJoey I’d recommend they get their first plant working. It’s insanely difficult to reach volume production at affordable unit cost. — PolitiTweet.org

@wapodavenport However, even if it were 16 flights with docking, this is not a problem. SpaceX did more than 16 orbital flights in first half of 2021 & has docked with Station (much harder than docking with our own ship) over 20 times. — PolitiTweet.org
Elon Musk @elonmusk
@wapodavenport 16 flights is extremely unlikely. Starship payload to orbit is ~150 tons , so max of 8 to fill 1200 ton tanks of lunar Starship. Without flaps & heat shield, Starship is much lighter. Lunar landing legs don’t add much (1/6 gravity). May only need 1/2 full, ie 4 tanker flights. — PolitiTweet.org

@cleantechnica Important to bear in mind that production is as fast as the slowest part out of ~10,000 unique parts in a car — PolitiTweet.org

@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. — PolitiTweet.org

@Kristennetten @SpaceX It will be exciting to see what new cultures humanity creates on other heavenly bodies! — PolitiTweet.org
Elon Musk @elonmusk
@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 — PolitiTweet.org

@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. — PolitiTweet.org
Elon Musk @elonmusk
@BBCAmos @NASASpaceflight Ok — PolitiTweet.org
Elon Musk @elonmusk
@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 — PolitiTweet.org

@Astro_Elliott @NASASpaceflight @BBCAmos Inevitably — PolitiTweet.org
Elon Musk @elonmusk
@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. — PolitiTweet.org

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

@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. — PolitiTweet.org
