> Quite simply when something removes pain in the ass and improves your life you tend to notice and remember. None of the things you list came first from the companies you listed. Thank you for making my point for me. > For who? For the private jet and yacht owners? 80% of the population lives in urban areas (soon it will be 90%) , they'd be getting their internet with the 5G towers having a 2.5mi radius and fiber just like you are while you are typing this message. You can take every single Starlink launch out and SpaceX still has a huge impact as the largest, cheapest launch provider, and the biggest impact will be on things like weather prediction and the like, not private jet and yacht owners. You're revealing a major level of ignorance of what dominates the space industry. > The big rocket going up and landing on its butt is technical porn for the sake of technical porn, just like the Apollo program was, It represented a massive drop in launch costs, and you're against demonstrating a staggering level of ignorance.

If those companies have built on the shoulders of giants , then Tesla is an ant atop mount Everest considering that automotive is a 150 year old industry and the wheel is a 5000 year old invention and cult of personality is much older than both. > > Weather predictions and the likes Yeah sure weather and the like bro. Let us cook. As always with space enthusiasts people who want to play with rockets and watch technical porn for the sake of technical porn would find all sort of excuses to find fools who’d buy into the hype and finance them playing with expensive toys with no quality of life returns for consumers. It already happened in the 60s with the Apollo program where the selling point to those who financed it was that somehow it was crucial to beat the Soviets to retrive those precious lunar rocks that contained god knows what secrets. > > Ignorance Unlike you, I do know exactly where my quality of life comes from, who signs it off, and who is just talking and making empty promises. You instead seem confused and out of touch on the subject.
