What about the rate of improvement in launch costs we are observing is linear?
- ekianjo 5y agoThere's no starship 2 with 10 times the size of Starship in the plans.
- whatshisface 5y agoObjects in orbit/day = min(objects per launch * launches per pad per day * number of working pads, number of objects per day anyone is willing to pay for)
- ekianjo 5y agoThere are diminishing returns as well. After a certain point there's no added benefit to put more stuff in the sky, hence not exponential.
- whatshisface 5y agoIt's not clear where the diminishing returns kick in. They say every curve is an S-curve, but without knowing the actual parameters, that's not helpful.
