  • 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.









  • Dave dies in a disfiguring accident and they have to identify the body. They bring in his 2 lifelong best friends to ID him. Bill comes in and asks to see daves backside and says “Nope, that’s not Dave”. Then they bring in Ted who also asks to see Dave’s ass. He also proclaims him to be not Dave. The coroner asks how they can tell it’s Dave by looking at his bum. “Because everywhere we went people would say ‘Here comes Dave with them 2 assholes’”
