- Flight 8 hit me hard. Watching Starship fall after pouring everything we had into it cuts deep. It hurts β because we care. Because we know whatβs at stake. But pain is the price of progress. Weβll carry this loss, rise from it, and push harder than ever. Onward. #Starship

- I joined SpaceX four years ago with a dream: to help make humans a multiplanetary species. From the beginning, I knew Starship was the key to this vision. My fascination with reentry led me to Thermal Protection Systems, where I found my purpose. Our goal was ambitiousβto create
- This moment will forever be ingrained in my mind. Seeing your spacecraft spread its wings for the first time is hard to put into words. When Starship separated and began flying on its own, I knew we had changed the course of history. #Starship

- From day one, Iβve had the privilege of helping build Starshipβs thermal protection system. Back then, we were a small team, experimenting, iterating, and trying to figure out how to scale a dream. This year, that dream has become realityβ¦ the worldβs most advanced heat shield,

To see them bring the ship home is beyond words. Our work is far from done. This is how humanity becomes multiplanetary! #Starship

- I am shaking. This is what it is all about. We will learn and then try again. We got through Max Q, Hot staging, and Second stage ignition and burn. What a day! #StarshipStarship in flight: All 33 Raptors on the Super Heavy booster burning! What an incredible sight from Starbase!
- Most other companies dump entire stages into the ocean on every flight. Why are we treated differently?We will never get humanity to Mars if this continues
- This is why I do this!!! 4 years! Iβm shaking!!! #StarshipSplashdown confirmed! Congratulations to the entire SpaceX team on an exciting fourth flight test of Starship!
