Doubling diameter increases mass 4X, but difficulty of simultaneously building & launching rocket of that size is >>4X.
In retrospect, <9m diameter for Starship might have been wise. Current size is ~5200 ton stack mass & ~7500 ton-F thrust, which is more than double Saturn V.

Kerbal Space Program
@KerbalSpaceP · Jun 30, 2021
We're still adding engines to our part roster, and here's a peek at one that's still in the early whitebox phase -- we still haven't come up with a Kerbal-fied name for this LOX-Augmented Nuclear Thermal Rocket (or LANTR). Super NERV? SNERV? Suggestions welcome!

What are we doing wrong at SpaceX? You probably have some good ideas.
The fundamental optimization for making life multiplanetary & backing up the biosphere is cost per ton to the surface of Mars.
What system achieves that best?

Ever had poutine? Sure, you lose like 755 days of life expectancy when you eat one but it’s delicious! 🤤
Elon Musk
@elonmusk · Jul 1, 2021
Yeah, had great Poutine in Montreal. Does feel like your life expectancy is dropping in real-time as you eat it, but awesome nonetheless.

Just reiterating this from a few days ago. Dojo isn't a "general purpose" computer and doesn't have a dogecoin application. I am however in the process of personally getting a full dogecoin node up on Starlink.
ThisIsMyDogeAccount@MyDogeAccount· Jun 29, 2021@JustinScerini @michilumin Dojo is a super computer that is used to help train machine learning of systems for Tesla as well as other projects that Elon Musk works on.
While many people think that the Dojo system would be phenomenal for Dogecoin the computer would not work.
However Starlink 👀
Elon Musk
@elonmusk · Jul 1, 2021
Sorry for any confusion. Dojo is a neural network training computer optimized for video (for self-driving).
Unless there is a predictable pattern to hashing Scrypt (which we will not attempt to find), it will not be competitive with ASIC-based hashing.
Potatoes are delicious!

ULA would be dead as a doornail without the two launch provider DoD requirement.
If this is not true, then you won’t have a problem removing it.
Your parent company, Lockheed, darkened the skies with lobbyists to ensure F-35 was single source.
Seems a little inconsistent …
Elon Musk
@elonmusk · Jul 1, 2021
Now, this sort of nonsense happens all the time with government contracts & everyone knows it.
However, in this case, it is money diverted from making life multiplanetary, which is the goal of SpaceX, vs the ULA goal of maximizing dividends to Lockheed & Boeing.
Not ok.

@thesheetztweetz · Jun 30, 2021
Is SpaceX spending much time or money refurbishing the Falcon 9 boosters between launches, or is it just cleaning and inspection still? I know 10 reflights was the expected milestone for needing significant refurbishment.
Elon Musk
@elonmusk · Jun 30, 2021
Work needed between flights is less & less, as shown by shortening time between reflights. Required work between flights for Starship & Super Heavy is zero.
