Talk:SpaceX Starship

With the addition of "Block 4" (only in table, not text...), maybe someone notice that SX and Musk call them "Version", not "Block" for years now, even in the newest X tweet cited. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 47.69.165.29 (talk) 12:15, 28 August 2025 (UTC)

They've been called Starship X, Version X, Block X, and probably a few other's that I'm missing.

Block X is probably the best one to use as a standard across Wikipedia. Redacted II (talk) 12:28, 28 August 2025 (UTC)

Does that matter? Elon most commonly nowadays refers to versions. Should we not follow the newer terminology? JamieBrown2011 (talk) 15:40, 17 September 2025 (UTC)

Actually, I see now why it is better to stick with "Block". Ignore my previous comment JamieBrown2011 (talk) 15:42, 17 September 2025 (UTC)

Do you mind if I strikethrough the prior comment, to avoid future confusion? Redacted II (talk) 16:10, 17 September 2025 (UTC)

Are there any references that indicate that the components located in the interstage in blocks 1 and 2 have been moved to the methane tank in block 3? AmigaClone (talk) 10:33, 22 September 2025 (UTC)

I've seen claims that they've been moved to the chines.

The grid fins are moved into the methane tank, though Redacted II (talk) 11:01, 22 September 2025 (UTC)

I knew the grid fins had been moved from the interstage to the methane tanks, but was not sure on the other components located in the interstage in SuperHeavy Block 1 and 2.

The 'interstage' on block 3 appears to be only the radically redesigned hot stage ring. AmigaClone (talk) 22:33, 2 October 2025 (UTC)

Proposal: Combine the two sections "Integrated flight tests (2023–)" and "Past launches". The subsection called "Integrated flight tests (2023–)" largely repeats the content of the table below headed "Past launches". -- Ssilvers (talk) 04:40, 14 October 2025 (UTC)

• Yes (as proposer). The two sections are almost entirely repetitive, and any other information, such as the June 2025 static fire explosion, could remain with the material above. -- Ssilvers (talk) 01:27, 14 October 2025 (UTC)

(I recommend merging the two parts of that post, because it looks like its two posts, when its only one)

Complete deletion of that section is a bad idea, but it can certainly be condensed Redacted II (talk) 02:26, 14 October 2025 (UTC)

Table in the versions section give thrust in (tf) which is neither metric not compares to NM given later in the text. Be consistent, be metric. ~2025-35071-58 (talk) 10:38, 20 November 2025 (UTC)

"Starship cargo flights to the lunar surface for research, development, and exploratory missions start in 2028, at a rate of $100 million per metric ton."*

Maybe for more tons have discounts?

It is same price for delivery to Mars.

Is possible prices to be lowered significantly in near (after 2028) or far future but not sure.
