Starship, but it’s an SSTO… This fully reusable single stage Starship can put up to 35t into Low Earth Orbit, allowing it to compete well in the small- to heavy-lift low orbit launch market. Launch simulation by @Phrankensteyn below and specs in the thread. #SpaceX #Starship
@StarshipFairing has quite ambitious plans for Starship. Something like an SSTO. Is that even possible? Maybe, when some additional improvements made for Raptor and some more mass is shaven of Ship itself. 100x200 km insertion + spare for circularization.

10 years ago today, @SpaceX performed the first integrated test with Dragon 2, the pad abort test. It was a huge step in our human spaceflight program as it proved an integrated launch escape system was feasible and set the stage for development of the flight version of Dragon 2.

One year ago today XB-1 made her first leap into the skies. Twelve months later we have busted Mach one and demonstrated a practical solution for sonic boom. Twelve months from now we will be firing the first Symphony—the first independently developed supersonic jet engine.
