I find this confusing. I looked for a long time before I got it. The protagonists switch directions and I wasn’t sure who was who. I thought one of the parents turned rainbow and some new guy started yelling at them from out of frame. I think the parents should stay the same direction and the new guy should enter from stage left. And the pointing arm should come from stage right so we know it’s the parents.

Don’t forget Trump has made oil way more expensive. That’s a huge favor to the world and the things that live on it!

I get what you’re getting at, but I’d argue that we should look holistically at spacex. If their business model is launching a bazillion satellites and making a bazillion dollars we have to look at the entire launch complex as operating capital of starlink and spaceai. It all depends on starship launching a bazillion times a day so we should include development costs of starship as costs of starlink. The need for these businesses are necessary because the boom in private bookings of rocket launches that was anticipated with cheap launch services hasn’t materialized and so they have an airport and planes without passengers.

I ain’t no rocket economist but it seems “all the money” that starlink makes arent enough.

Just before everyone claps.

His Pops probably had some tarrif scam where he made huge bank. Young Donny has vague memories of his father waxing nostalgic for tariffs.

That’s the part making revenue, we’re unsure if it’s making a profit.

Which just goes to show you how bullshit the profit margins are on space travel when they gotta turn the business into a chat bot to be “profitable”

HE SAID THINGS ARE MFING CHEAP RIGHT NOW. AROOOOOO

No

It’s always a good idea to back a frantic starving animal into a corner. It always makes them lie down and go to sleep.

I think you’re missing the amortization of the r+d and capital upkeep of the whole launch complex. Since the satellites have such a short lifespan you can’t only count the upfront costs of manufacturing and launching, you have to include the whole shebang. The starlink system has to include the entire Falcon 9 architecture as overhead. And since it’s so integral to their ultimate business model you should also include all the development costs of starship to each starlink satellite. The ROE probably doesn’t look so good including all that, which explains Space Ai.

sure, my furnace is fueled by burning children, but it gives a really nice heat.

If rich people want to use their money to make the world a better place, they can! When they say “I’d pay taxes if you made me” they really mean “fuck you”

I’m for space travel but I think the commercialization of space will benefit a very few.

You only dig fibre once. You need new starlink satellites every couple of years.

What till you hear about the rocket equation!

Dude, you realize the whole ‘going to the moon’ thing was just a way to convince the public to fund ballistic missile technology? And the whole reason for the shuttle was to steal Russias satellites? One of the biggest use cases for space is war. Space travel won’t feed anyone.

De-orbiting space junk is exactly akin to Samsung starting a recycling program where they just take everything and light it on fire.
