@elonmusk Under two conditions. It’s only available for a few minutes, 5-10 mins. And when an edit is made, there’s a small link that shows the edit. This keeps a public record but allows the tweeter the ability to fix a simple mistake and not re-notify their followers with a new tweet.

This is not a render. This is not a simulation. This is @SpaceX’s first integrated test flight of #Starship with the Super Heavy booster, the world’s largest and most powerful rocket to ever fly. This #slomo is from our 8k tracker shot by @considercosmos.

OH. MY. WORD. Where. How. umm. What. This is absolutely absurd engineering to simplify an engine down like this. What looks simple on the outside only makes for more complexity on the inside, so this must be a masterpiece.

I would love to know how they prevented flow separation when they fired a vacuum optimized engine at sea level! Normally the pressure at the end of a vacuum nozzle is so low that the ambient air pressure will separate the flame from the nozzle and destroy the engine! @elonmusk.

@elonmusk There’s been a lot less of this lately. To me, (specifically spaceflight) is extremely uniting, bonding and overall inspirational. Is there a greater good in uniting or dividing? I’d argue uniting.

Another reminder: Starship is a system, it’s not a single vehicle. There will be variants of Starship that absolutely do not fit the normal mold including tanker versions, lunar, and even potentially deep space versions! So expect some with & w/o legs / flaps / nose cone etc
@DJSnM We could stretch the Falcon Heavy upper stage & increase this a lot, but FH already covers all known payloads. Starship, especially with orbital refilling & dedicated deep space variants (no heatshield, flaps or header tanks) will take this up orders of magnitude.

This has long been talked about, but having the hardware capable of doing it has never been assembled (or even really made it off paper). NASA wanted to build a larger Saturn V like rocket, NOVA, but it never saw the light of day. Finally, progress is being made 50 years later 🙌
