With new information released by @SpaceX on the design of V3 Starship, one interesting new capability is the high-voltage electrically actuated cryogenic recirculation system and other upgrades designed to increase the time the ship can operate in space. I thought this sounded familiar to recent @NASA research on this topic as well as the publicized collaborative work with @SpaceX using this and other related research efforts. Starship V3 Cryogenic Recirculation – Integrating NASA Research for Extended Orbital Operations 1/ Starship Version 3 introduces a high-voltage electrically actuated cryogenic recirculation system, supported by 100% vacuum-jacketed header feed lines and upgraded RCS thrusters. This capability enables prolonged on-orbit operations by maintaining propellant quality over extended periods. It directly builds upon NASA cryogenic fluid management (CFM) research.


Starship’s twelfth flight test will debut the next generation Starship and Super Heavy vehicles, powered by the next evolution of the Raptor engine and launching from a newly designed pad at Starbase. The launch is targeted as early as Tuesday, May 19 → spacex.com/launches/stars…



having the third kid is so fun. zero regrets. do i talk the wife into a 4th

Launch rehearsal complete. During a flight-like countdown, more than 5,000 metric tonnes (11+ million pounds) of propellant were loaded on the fully stacked Starship and Super Heavy V3 vehicles for the first time

It is time for the United States Postal Service to ban junk mail. Unsolicited spam calls are already prohibited by the FCC. Emails are heavily regulated by the CAN-SPAM Act of 2003. Junk mail is the majority of mail, 100 million trees per year. Enough!

SpaceX filled an entire Starship & Super Heavy in around 30 minutes. It is mind boggling.
