Please note that this website is currently a work in progress! Lots of interesting data and statistics to come.
5.30 in the morning here. Perfect
Heavy breathing
I hope they have a new animation like the older ITS one. Been quite a while since that and it would be really nice to see an updated one.
Are we calling this Community Content mods? Looks kinda Official.

+1 to the sound guys for filtering out that wind
It was a great show. I would have done the whole laser lights/dj/pop star reveal with pyro, but maybe that's a little too Tony Stark.
Straight to 20km for Starship this year. Six months to orbit in Mark 4/Superheavy. Moon mission maybe as soon as next year. Constraint is Raptors at 8-10 days each. Hoping to improve production scale. Need 100 raptors probably to fly the full stack. Next production will be mark 3&4, not Superheavy. Thinner steel to get the mass down, single piece rings rather than plates. The schedule is incredibly fast.
Human rating philosophy seems to be that if the same ship has been to orbit a bunch of times and checks out, why wouldn't you put humans on it? The fuss about human rating a design in expendables is mostly that you don't get to test drive it.
Not a lot of stuff we didn't know. Micro thrusters for fuel transfer under acceleration. Methalox acs. Starship as raw material on the moon and Mars as some have suggested here. Solar powered ISRU on Earth to make fuel and O2. Super thin glass thermal tiles because the skin under can get hot. Simulated reentry graphic. Only 5% of SpaceX is working on this.
I bet the after party is off the hook.
Man it's crazy that they're pushing back the presentation so close to the actual time of it. Like, have they not finished putting the ship or the slides together yet??
Super pumped though.
Starship flight to 20km in 1-2 months (Elon time)!
What's that in real time?
