What a sneaky bunch of so and sos, I hope you business methods come back to bite your on the ass. Right now, I'm doing my best to reverse payment and cut you off ! @MyIQ_com

OORU ZBOβ„’ v5.7 is now published. Updated to use synthetically produced / engineered COβ‚‚ clathrate hydrate feedstock and made fully launcher-agnostic. Cuts required Starship tanker launches by 80–85% while building large orbital methalox caches. Public version: zenodo.org/records/20360849 NDA version (with full appendices) also available. #Starship #OrbitalRefueling #OrbitalRefilling #ISRU

Debating Starship refilling inefficiency on X? 'Only 12 tankers per ship, right?' Baseline for a 10-ship Mars cadence is ~690 launches. Our patented orbital ISRU system cuts that 80–85% by processing earth sourced COβ‚‚/Hβ‚‚O into methalox on-orbit.

Just released: OORU ZBOβ„’ v4.5 White Paper Orbital methalox production using modified Starship V4 depots and stabilised COβ‚‚ clathrate hydrate slush. Cuts a 50-mission lunar program from 1,100–1,300 launches down to just 45–65, delivering 220,000–300,000 t methalox and $2.0–2.4 trillion in launch savings β€” plus major carbon credits. Perfect timing with Elon’s lunar city focus. Full paper (PDF) β†’ drive.google.com/file/d/1SGr… #Starship #ISRU #LunarEconomy #OrbitalRefueling

@GwenShotwell Saw your recent Starlink post β€” the scale you’re building is incredible. That kind of orbital infrastructure (and the future lunar/Starship ops) will need reliable, high-volume methalox in orbit. Just released OORU ZBOβ„’ v4.5 β€” a system that produces methalox directly in orbit using Starship V4 depots, dramatically cutting launch cadence. Full paper: drive.google.com/file/d/1SGr… Would welcome any thoughts.
Yaaaay!!! Crossed the 10M active customers mark. So happy to connect so many around the world!

Coming this weekend: OORU ZBOβ„’ v4.5 White Paper Orbital methalox production using modified Starship V4 depots and stabilised COβ‚‚ clathrate hydrate slush. For a 50-mission lunar program, this cuts launches from 1,100–1,300 down to just 45–65, delivers 220,000–300,000 tonnes of methalox, and unlocks $2.0–2.4 trillion in launch savings β€” plus major carbon credits. Timed perfectly with Elon’s Feb 8 lunar-city pivot and the xAI All-Hands yesterday highlighting lunar factories, mass drivers, and orbital infrastructure. In-orbit propellant is becoming mission-critical. Full paper + CAD figures + phase diagrams dropping over the weekend. Who’s ready? Drop a πŸ”₯ or reply if you want the link first. #Starship #ISRU #LunarEconomy #OrbitalRefueling

Full PDF now available (includes inventor sketch, COβ‚‚ graph, redacted filing receipt): tinyurl.com/6wubkyv5 Open to thoughts on orbital feedstock processing for Starship refilling β€” boil-off, Sabatier scaling, lunar adaptation? #Starship #ISRU #OrbitalRefilling"

Caveats/Realism Assumes V4 evolution by 2028 (community consensus). Variable tanker nets (<200t) amplify savings. Risks: Docking, reactor scaling. But Phase 2 (clathrates: 0.015%/day Boil-Off, GCR shielding) refines for lunar/Mars.
