I do a lot of remote work, so a reliable, stable, and fast connection is a must-have. Not just for the occasional. I currently have fiber Internet with an average of 900Mbps up and down streams. But half of it would suffice.

Peak rate of about half that for version 1 is about right, but heavily dependent on users per cell. Aiming for latency under 20 ms.

It will only work for higher latitudes (Seattle) at first, then get progressively closer to the equator

They gave up on reusability post shuttle / now with SLS and in fact are producing a new version that’s cheaper that forgoes any attempt at reuse.
Elon Musk
@elonmusk · May 7, 2020
A fully & rapidly reusable orbital rocket is fundamental to extending life beyond Earth. Propellant cost is roughly a 1000th of vehicle cost (unless using a foolish propellant). Same principle as cars, planes, boats, etc.

I do not think it’s smart. SLS would require a full redesign and at this point there so many other (better) options coming online, let’s stop spending money on these engines and that system.

Can they be fished out and reused?

No, they will be smashed beyond repair & corroded

Philip Sloss has spoken with Aerojet Rocketdyne for a deep dive into the multi-billion dollar NASA contract for numerous new RS-25 engines for SLS through to the end of the decade.
Here's his article!

Sabatier fuel plant for starship
Will this work Elon?
Elon Musk
@elonmusk · May 7, 2020
Looks about right. Ice mining/refining on Mars & maximizing total system efficiency will be hard. CO2 is easy, as Mars atmosphere is mostly that. Also has good amount of N2, which is important for life.

For methane they can use the sabatier process! Look that up and hopefully that'll give you an idea 👍
Elon Musk
@elonmusk · May 7, 2020
Yes, converts CO2 & H2O to CH4 & O2. Perfect for Mars!

Might be a dumb question, but is the methane flare's flame being out of a concern? Chat is freaking out about it haha
Elon Musk
@elonmusk · May 7, 2020
Flare stack flamed out. In a few weeks we’ll be recondensing methane using solar power, so no flare stack.
