Thunderf00t is such a strange fellow. He's clearly quite bright and has some fantastic takedowns of pseudoscience and scammy things, and even disproves a claim about dipoles from a Veritasium video.
But then he goes off with these screeds like the Starlink one as if like they are going to scale up v0.5 without any revision or cost improvement. In the name of "skepticism" or "rationality". But a real rational look at the situation would maybe give the ops and biz folks at SpaceX a bit more benefit of the doubt that they can project out profit/loss over multiyear timeframes.
