This is the kind of news I want to see. This is it. Aspirational, scientific, and most of all, positive.

I love it. Innovation that continues to push our limits.

Excited doesn’t even describe the feeling 🚀

Michael Sheetz is one of the the top three mainstream media space reporters (other two being Berger with Ars Technica and Davenport with Washington Post) and NBC/CNBC are lucky to have him!

Woah, some good reporting for a change.

Well done

Starship's key feature is its low cost.

Extremely excited to get to see this and all the progress that has been made in such a short time to get us to this point.

[kannanlove]

SpaceX. By the way, I have difficulty communicating because I had a stroke in Broca’s area, the part of the brain that controls speech. 2/8/2021 but I lived again. (My wife helped me compose this.)

Any info of the accounts going live for launch??

[iai]

If no launch today than its probably going to be on 4:20 🤣😅

What would be more impressive is if Elon would encourage people to literally go outside and plant basic gardens this spring. If you've never done one before, it's extremely therapeutic. You can container- garden for starters or for those unfortunate enough to live in small, crowded areas.
God never intended mankind to live on Mars. This is why He gave us everything we need to sustain life right here on planet earth.
