Not really. People make many misconceptions about money in SpaceX

@Кадзуми -2000 years ago musks pays he's workers normal salaries to make sure they're not there for the money but that it's their passion. Jeff Bezos already tried to steal Musk's best engineers by offering a higher salary. Don't know about @Inferno_FB 's dad but if he denied that offer to stay working at SpaceX I think he is a real hero.

8:25 that was because they activated Range Saftey, which explodes the rocket incase of it going somewhere they don’t want the rocket to go. For this case, SN11 was heading towards the facilities where it launched

I’ll update some more: Booster 3 (superheavy) that recently static fired has been cut off into 4 by SpaceX workers, and SN20 / Ship 20 is the first starship to go to space, SN20 is on pad B and booster 4 that is going to space and landing on water has 29 (I think) raptor engines and it is now on the orbital launch pad both will do testing before stacking into the full starship superheavy. (Which is SN20 on top of booster 4) Also SN20 has all of heat the Shield tiles.

[@Potatoincanada201Unknow-bv1yy]

Correction: In 2026, nasa will colab with spacex to land starship on the moon.

[@MrBonny]

I have a question ... if starship using methalox as a fuel, how do they maintain the cryogenic temp on their tank while in the outer space for long time? Coz normally, spacecraft uses hypergolic fuel in long-duration missions. Such as dragon, Apollo, space shuttle etc.

[@spamspace6878]

They might not use methalox when in space

[@MrBonny]

@@spamspace6878 but Elon said they will land propulsively on the moon or mars. And raptors engine using methalox.

[@mtgradwell]

@@MrBonny I think they will have a parasol, a thin reflective sheet deployed between the Sun and the StarShip, so that the StarShip is always in its shadow. In space it's pretty cold if you aren't in direct sunlight.

[@aerostorm_]

It hasn't been fully discussed yet, but there are two approaches to this. One is to have an active compression system, like a refrigerator and possibly powered by solar, that allows small parts of higher pressure fuels to be compressed to maintain the cryogenic temperatures. The other is to have a passive/semi powered cooling system using what infrared dissipation cooling you can with cryogenic fuels in space. Overall to begin with there is some expected fuel loss, which is why the fuel depot Starship for the lunar missions is expected to have itself fueled within a month with some margin. Though in the Human Landing System report NASA was apparently confident in whatever solution SpaceX had with fuel loss mitigation as it cited this as a technology problem with the Dynetics lander, another competitor, but not Starship.

[@aaronmcculloch8326]

They will use the header tanks, smallish tanks within the tanks for landing on Mars, they can be a bit better insulated. A tank in a tank doesn't have to worry about sunshine warming it, and they can vent out the main tanks to hard vacuum during the flight, making it basically a vacuum flask. Because of that efficiency they can either add extra fuel and vent it as it evaporates or add a powered recovery system. to the best of my knowledge they haven't made any design choices on this yet, since it's not mission critical for the current phase of testing. I assume the rate of heat transfer and the mass of the required recovery system both need to be well understood before you can pick the best way.
