I cannot freaking wait until the orbital refueling tests begin
BREAKING: Elon Musk says Starship will need only 6 to 8 refueling launches to land on the Moon, not the "around 22" a NASA safety panel member estimated today. Elon: "That's way too high. Actual number will be more like 6 to 8." Fewer tanker flights means a faster, cheaper road back to the Moon.

Let’s all agree.. Fuck Jerry
Elon Musk lies in bed casually scrolling through X. Suddenly he snaps upright: "Oh no! Space is a vacuum!" Sweating in panic, he calls his team. "Cancel the data centre satellites immediately! I'm about to waste billions!" "Why didn't anyone at SpaceX think of this?"
