So 666 flights of starship per year 😉 I like your style 🤘that’s almost two flights a day, think that’s feasible?
Elon Musk
@elonmusk · 17 янв. 2020 г.
Starship design goal is 3 flights/day avg rate, so ~1000 flights/year at >100 tons/flight, so every 10 ships yield 1 megaton per year to orbit

Orbital refueling says hi. The "reusability tax" vanishes when you can start with 100% of your fuel. You can do that because Starship is reusable, so you don't throw away five rockets to refuel one rocket. Estimate is somewhere between 200 and 1000 times cheaper than SLS.

Densification isn’t needed to return the ship & limited cargo from Mars, but it’s an option for increasing cargo return capability if needed
Elon Musk
@elonmusk · 16 янв. 2020 г.
What’s amazing is how non-linear the effect of gravity is. Starship can travel by itself from surface of Mars to surface of Earth, but requires massive booster on Earth with orbital refilling to get to Mars, which is ~38% of Earth gravity.

Will Starship densify propellants made in-situ for its return trip from Mars?

Interesting that NASA may consider the use of densified liquid hydrogen fuel for the SLS rocket after its safety panels absolutely roasted SpaceX for load-and go. This is just a rumor, of course:

Fundamental issue with SLS is that it’s not reusable, which means that a billion dollar rocket is blown up every launch! 💯 tragedy.

Densifying hydrogen is difficult, as its liquid temp is close to absolute zero. Much easier with CH4, which is an underappreciated advantage. Cooling O2 is good too, but becomes operationally difficult at N2 liquid temp, as air is ~78% N2. Entire system wants to drip air!

Have many calculations like that😊
Norway is very little. But put 1/3 with solar and we produce all the energy the whole world 🌎 use combined. Switching to renewable is not that complicated or expensive💥
Elon Musk
@elonmusk · 14 янв. 2020 г.
Very true. What’s really mindblowing is how much energy the sun outputs & how little of it is absorbed by Earth. There is sooo much solar energy. We can solar power all of human civilization with a tiny % of Earth’s surface, which is a super tiny % of energy emitted by the sun.

Thanks Elon for replying, didn't expect you to comment on that to be honest 😅😅 As a future astrophysicist I hope for the best to both parts, astronomers and SpaceX. Good luck!
Elon Musk
@elonmusk · 14 янв. 2020 г.
Advancing humanity’s understanding of the Universe is a fundamental motivator for SpaceX! Starship can put giant 🔭 in orbit & on moon. With an occluder, could image 🌏 in other star systems.

The last lot already had one satellite with that change. They'll introduce those changes gradually to test it. Once they fully introduce the new ones they can easily replace those that are already up there doing harm to astronomers by just deorbiting them and replacing them.
Elon Musk
@elonmusk · 14 янв. 2020 г.
Exactly. We’ve had good discussions with leading astronomers. One way or another, we’ll make sure Starlink doesn’t inhibit new discoveries or change the character of the night sky.

I also published the math on how much land it would take to power the US entirely with solar. It's here, with references: rameznaam.com/2015/04/08/how…
Elon Musk
@elonmusk · 13 янв. 2020 г.
Good analysis, although a bit conservative imo. However, using a high upper bound for land area that’s *still* a tiny % of the US prob helps convert some naysayers. That giant fusion reactor in the sky called the sun outputs a truly staggering amount of energy!
