Summary
The post records a talk, not a flight. On September 28, 2019, at the Cameron County, Texas, launch site, Elon Musk updated the design of Starship and Super Heavy. SpaceX described the system as fully and rapidly reusable, for crew and cargo to Earth orbit, the Moon, Mars, and elsewhere in the solar system. The note itself contains no dimensions, engine counts, or dates of first flight. Those belong on the dated Starship vehicle page and in later test reports, not borrowed backward onto this evening.

Why it matters
This is the earliest Starship entry in the archive, a year before the 150-meter hop. A second, equally short note marks the February 2022 talk. Do not merge them.
