Starlink Sats that are defective will deorbit naturally in about 5 years. These are not Sats that are in GEO which will take 2000 years to deorbit.
SpaceX has now recovered officially 99 1st Stage boosters for reuse.
SpaceX is all in on Starship and has created the only full-flow staged combustion rocket that has ever flown.
If you want pretty pictures, YOU pay for it. SpaceX has already done amazing shit.

I pay taxes to support NASA, but NASA sometimes seems as though they are above catering to the public. SpaceX can and has done frivolous things to show off. I have an opinion on what stunt they should do next. If they are launching rockets ten times, shouldn't that mean a flight is at ~an order of magnitude cheaper than traditionally?
- Rebelgecko 5y agoThere's fixed costs for every launch. Even if you're reusing a rocket, you still gotta pay full price for fuel, personnel, etc. That said, launch costs are almost an order of magnitude lower than they were 20 years ago.
