@elonmusk: Диаметр корпуса составляет 9 м / 30 футов
@Freiraum77: Пожалуйста, постройте версию диаметром 12 м позже Мне очень понравился первый дизайн! Спасибо за всю вашу работу! Еще один вопрос: путь до Марса занимает так много времени. Планируете ли вы использовать другие двигатели в будущем? Подобные VASIMR?
@elonmusk: Возможно, 18м для системы следующего поколения
@flcnhvy: Насколько текущая итерация Raptor готова к орбите?
@elonmusk: В Где-то от 2 до 3 месяцев. Мы собираемся отгрузить Raptor SN10.
@JaneidyEve: Когда состоится первый испытательный полет Starship Mk1?
@elonmusk: Стремимся к 20-километровому полету в октябре и попытке орбитального вскоре после него. Обновление Starship состоится 28 сентября, в годовщину выхода SpaceX на орбиту. К тому времени Starship Mk1 будет полностью собран.

FINAL STARSHIP UPDATE: As of this early this morn all people,at least visibly, are off property, gates are locked and #Starship is inside but w/o doors. Not sure how much protection this will provide but seems to be final effort before #Dorian #Nasa #ElonMusk #Space #Mars 1/2 pic.twitter.com/LpbJd2Ynvz

Phase 1: Tests of ground systems and fueling, a handful of rocket engine test-firings, and several "small hops" of a few centimeters off the ground. The document also includes graphic layouts, like the one above, showing the placement of water tanks, liquid methane and oxygen storage tanks (Starship's fuels), and other launch pad infrastructure.
Phase 2: Several more "small hops" of Starship, though up to 492 feet (150 meters) in altitude, and later "medium hops" to about 1.9 miles (3 kilometers). Construction of a "Phase 2 Pad" for Starship, shown below, is also described.
Phase 3: A few "large hops" that take Starship up to 62 miles (100 kilometers) above Earth — the unofficial edge of space — with high-altitude "flips," reentries, and landings.
