WHY STARSHIP NEEDS TO BE SO MASSIVE: ELON MUSK EXPLAINS THE SCALE FOR MARSElon has repeatedly emphasized that Starship’s enormous size—nearly 400 ft tall, over 5,000 tons fueled, ~1,200 tons of propellant—is no accident.It’s engineered for the massive tonnage required to build a self-sustaining city on Mars, far beyond what smaller rockets could ever achieve affordably or practically.“It’s designed to make life multiplanetary, otherwise extreme overkill for mere Earth sector activity! Starship fleet mass to ...

Headline clickbait lie exposed: Elon Musk hasn’t ditched Mars—plans are still full steam ahead for a self-sustaining city there (starting in ~5-7 years, full in 20-30).The Moon is now the priority stepping stone, not a replacement. Why? Faster iteration (launches every ~10 days vs. Mars’ 26-month windows), quicker tech testing (2-day trips), and a faster path to a self-growing off-world civilization (<10 years on Moon vs. 20+ on Mars) to secure humanity’s future first.Elon clarified repeatedly:• “We are sti ...

RAPTOR 3: THE MOST ADVANCED ROCKET ENGINE EVER BUILT – ELON MUSK ON ITS INSANE POWER & PRECISIONRaptor 3 is SpaceX’s latest evolution of the methane-fueled, full-flow staged combustion engine powering Starship. It’s a massive leap in design: fully integrated regenerative cooling (no external heat shield needed), simplified architecture with far fewer parts, record thrust-to-weight ratio, higher chamber pressure, and dramatically improved reliability—all while pushing thrust targets well beyond previous vers ...

Elon Musk just made a huge change for SpaceX's mission. Rather than focus on getting to Mars, instead they are now focused on building a self-growing city on the moon. And they say they can potentially achieve it in under 10 years.The mission of SpaceX remains the same. Extend consciousness and life as we know it to the stars. It is only possible to travel to Mars when the planets align every 26 months.6 month trip time. Whereas we can launch to the moon every 10 days, 2-day trip time. ...

SpaceX is going all-in on the Moon first 🚀🌕Building a self-growing, self-sustaining lunar city in under 10 years — faster iteration, closer to home, securing humanity's backup before Mars.Mars still on the roadmap (5–7 years to start), but the Moon is now priority #1 for multi-planetary life ...
