Or, since there's no downward pressure on price, it's equally valid to say we've hit the limit of what we can do with capitalism in the current ecosystem.

But China is heading strongly in that direction, working on a F9 clone (and perhaps more than one; there are many quasi-private launch efforts there). I'm sure Musk knows F9's life as a money-printing machine is finite.

- pfdietz 3y agoPlease stop with this nonsense. It's obviously wrong. The mere existence of the Starship design, which doesn't break any physical laws, shows your claim is nonsense.
- macspoofing 3y ago>It's obviously wrong Obviously wrong how? I saw that Musk was claiming that launch costs for starship will be around $1-2 million at some point - probably after hyperloop launches as a "5th mode of transport" in Neverland.
