We know about how much investment was made in SpaceX. And the idea that SpaceX has for 10+ years sold launches as loss leader simply doesn't add up. The opposite is more likely, they were profitable already for years and then the made

The issue with storage is being addressed and being fixed rapidly with battery and other technologies while hydrogen has been promised and invested in by governments for 50 years with very little results. Some technologies with far more pro

No. Green hydrogen might have some application, specially in creating some other greenly produced chemicals. But in terms of transportation, heating and grid storage its not the right solution. The price is still incredibly high so far we h

You are still making the same mistake. > There are a few of them because wealth concentrates upwards. Is your argument really that all wealth is already owned by some dynastic elite and that's why nobody else can get to that level?
