Starship is executing a banking maneuver that mimics the final approach it would take while returning to Starbase for a catch on a future mission

Congrats @SpaceX team and @elonmusk on a hell of a V3 Starship launch. One step closer to the Moon…one step closer to Mars 🇺🇸

We are living in the best timeline

If this doesn't inspire instinctual awe in you, I don't know what possibly could

Humanity will be multi-planetary

[Sholto Douglas @_sholtodouglas]

This was the most awe inspiring thing I’ve ever seen.
The future will be wildly better than today.

[Gwynne Shotwell @Gwynne_Shotwell]

Congrats and a huge thank you to the SpaceX team that always delivers. This was an incredible first flight of a brand new vehicle. Our collective future flying amongst the stars has become so much closer.

SpaceX has just launched and deployed ~45 tons to space.

This was one of the heaviest payloads since Polyus launched by Energia in 1987 and Skylab launched by Saturn V in 1973!

[Truthful🛰️ @Truthful_ast]

Today SpaceX launched ~45tons of Starlink mass simulators on Starship Flight 12, the highest payload tonnage to space since Saturn V's Skylab (77t) in 1973.

This is a huge milestone for spaceflight and cannot be ignored, the future of space and this program is so bright!!

Jason Calacanis on SpaceX's Unknown Origin Story: Elon Wanted to Back Up the Biosphere in Space!

@Jason:

“Most people don't remember this, but when @elonmusk was starting SpaceX, the original idea when he was running around with Adeo and they were looking at some rockets and getting carriage from Russian rockets was to back up the biosphere.”

“And he came back from that trip and I remember talking to him about it and he said, ‘I think I just have to make my own rockets because that's actually where the problem is, and it would be easier just to make my own rocket to back up the biosphere.’

And he wanted to put geo-domes, like geodesic domes in space, with all the plants, wildlife, and creatures. What incredible vision.

And then there was the necessity of actually getting that up into space, and that's the unknown origin story.”
