Elon Musk Says SpaceX's Starship Fleet Can Deliver 1,000 Times More Payload Than All Rockets On Earth Combined
Tesla Inc (NASDAQ:TSLA) CEO Elon Musk said on Monday SpaceX’s Starship is designed to deliver 1,000 times more payload than all rockets on earth combined.
特斯拉進站C(納斯達克股票代碼：TSLA)首席執行官埃隆·馬斯克週一表示SpaceX的 星際飛船發射的有效載荷是地球上所有火箭總和的1000倍。
What Happened: Musk was responding to a Twitter post that shared a Bryce Space Tech report listing the global orbital launches by different operators in the third quarter.
發生的事情：馬斯克是在迴應推特上的一篇帖子，該帖子分享了布萊斯空間技術公司(Bryce Space Tech)的一份報告，該報告列出了不同運營商在第三季度進行的全球軌道發射。
The report ranks SpaceX second in the total payload mass of orbital rocket launches in the third quarter, just below China Aerospace Science and Technology Corporation.
該報告將SpaceX公司排在第三季度軌道火箭發射總有效載荷質量的第二位，僅次於中國航天科技集團公司.
What’s perhaps most crazy is a single Starship / SuperHeavy launch could put everything launched in that quarter into orbit in a single launch… now that’s impressive.

也許最瘋狂的是，一次星際飛船/超重發射可以將那個季度發射的所有東西都送入軌道，只需一次發射…這真是令人印象深刻。

The report says CASC deployed about 45,010 kilograms payload in the third quarter, while SpaceX deployed 32,634 kgs with the Falcon 9 rocket fleet.
報告稱，CASC在第三季度部署了約45,010公斤的有效載荷，而SpaceX在獵鷹9號火箭機隊中部署了32,634公斤的有效載荷。
"Actually, 41 tons for SpaceX in Q3 & aiming for 80 tons in Q4. That said, China’s launch mass to orbit is extremely impressive," Musk tweeted.
馬斯克在推特上寫道：“實際上，SpaceX在第三季度的運載量是41噸，第四季度的目標是80噸。這就是説，中國的發射質量是非常令人印象深刻的。”
He later said the Starship fleet is capable of delivering “1,000 times more payload” than all rockets combined and that “almost no one understands this.”
他後來説，星際艦隊能夠發射的有效載荷是所有火箭總和的1000倍，而且“幾乎沒有人理解這一點”。
The Starship fleet is designed to achieve over 1000 times more payload to orbit than all other rockets on Earth combined.

Almost no one understands this.
星際艦隊的設計目的是實現比地球上所有其他火箭加起來還要多1000倍的有效載荷進入軌道。
-埃隆·馬斯克(@elonmusk)2021年11月8日
幾乎沒有人理解這一點。
Why It Matters: Musk had in July said SpaceX is developing a fully-reusable Starship that can deliver a payload of around 150 tonnes to low Earth Orbit and about 250 tonnes when expendable.
重要的原因：馬斯克在7月份曾表示，SpaceX正在開發一種完全可重複使用的星際飛船，它可以向近地軌道運送約150噸的有效載荷，當可消耗時約為250噸。
The fully reusable Starship launch system would eventually replace the Falcon 9 and Falcon Heavy rockets. SpaceX aims to build a fleet of 1,000 reusable Starships over the next two decades.
完全可重複使用的星際飛船發射系統最終將取代獵鷹9號和獵鷹重型火箭。SpaceX的目標是在未來20年內建立一支1000艘可重複使用的星際飛船艦隊。
Musk dreams of colonizing Mars and founded SpaceX with the mission to make humanity multiplanetary. He has in the past said he remains “highly confident” that SpaceX would land humans on Mars by 2026.
馬斯克夢想殖民火星，並創立了SpaceX，其使命是讓人類成為多行星。他過去曾表示，他仍然對SpaceX公司到2026年將人類送上火星“充滿信心”。
