Active ride height & active damping are game-changing for a truck or any car with a high max/min weight ratio

Btw, in some prior tweets I’d said production Cybertruck would be ~80” wide (vs ~84” body width at unveil). This is slightly too small. Will be closer to 82”, but come standard with upper laser blade lights.

F9 iteration slowed down as payloads became too important to risk. Little change is expected going forward with F9/FH or Dragon. Starship production & thus iterative improvement will be much faster than Falcon. Driving hard for fully reusable orbital flight this year!

I wonder if having the O2 header tank in the tip is strategic to allow the boil-off to be consumed by the occupants? Conversely, keeping the CH4 header tank and associated piping away from the occupants is better for safety.

It’s mostly to balance the ship during entry. After delivering satellites, the front is light & back is heavy due to engines & landing legs.

Sorry, meant to say LOX header tank in tip of nose. CH4 main tank is above LOX main.

Hardest problem by far is building the production system of something this big. 2nd hardest is achieving full & rapid reuse with payload to orbit of ~2%.
Elon Musk
Elon Musk
@elonmusk · 20. Feb. 2020
These problems are fundamentally intertwined. Building many rockets allows for successive approximation. Progress in any given technology is simply # of iterations * progress between iterations.

SpaceX appears to be making excellent progress with its newest Starship prototype, SN01.

We have a nosecone!🚀Keeping track of all this fast-paced work should be a full-time job, but I got you covered, update v7 is out! Pictures taken by Mary @BocaChicaGal for @NASASpaceflight Gene @SpacePadreIsle, and also @ElonMusk aka memelord

Will starship be moved to launch pad vertically? What is NASA doing with their old Shuttle and Saturn crawler carriers?

Attach wheels to the landing legs & tow Starship to the launch pad

The whole nose tip has to have heat shielding for atmospheric entry at Mach 25+ anyway, so is effectively already insulated well in orbit

Will starship really have these large windows? Wouldn’t it be a structural hazard and let in solar radiation?

@elonmusk · 20. Feb. 2020
There will be a common area in the forward section with a big window like this. It will be a lot heavier than steel, but not dangerous. Consider astronauts on the moon with a very thin windowed helmet. They were fine.

How much will moving of the header tanks to the nose will impact the pressurized living volume of starship.?
Elon Musk
Elon Musk
@elonmusk · 20. Feb. 2020
Header tanks are only ~2% of main tank volume, so not a big deal. Pressurized volume is still ~1000 cubic meters.

So is there still a common bulkhead in the header tanks in the nosecone like you mentioned to me at the Starship event? If the walls are the tanks, how do attach the thrusters? Will they stick out a bit or have their on inset pod?

@elonmusk · 20. Feb. 2020
O2 header tank is tip of nosecone, CH4 header is in the main CH4 tank
