Wow! I haven’t read such an impressive set of claims from a startup since Theranos.

A Starship/SuperHeavy combo weighs 11M pounds, that’s going to have to be one super large balloon you are living on.

For the truly high end they will need an external GPU. Removing the integrated GPU should get up enough space for lots more Firestorm cores. And given that Firestorm is the fastest available CPU core, they probably don’t need 32 of them to

A single SuperHeavy can put a loaded Starship weighing roughly 360,000 total pounds into low earth orbit, SaturnV could only put 310,000 lbs total payload into low earth orbit. There, is that the comparison you wanted?

Fuel costs per launch will be about $500K, the remaining costs are dependent upon how many times both stages can be reused, maintenance costs, and launch/pad costs.

Nope, cause it didn’t have a second stage they could refuel in orbit, a reusable second stage they could use as a tanker, or a reusable first stage that provides the cadence to do in orbit refueling. Because of in-orbit refueling each Stars

No upgrades is a lamentable omission, but subscriptions and IAP can help replace it (not as well tho). Protecting purchasers privacy is a great customer benefit, which also helps increase developer sales. For example, App Store customers ne

Dwindling minority? Mac sales have grown to nearly 20% of industry revenues. With the M1 it looks likely they will get close to 10% of industry units, and blow by 20% of revenues. Most independent software developers should not care about u

You can use IAP for upgrades. it’s just a bit more work, grows your testing matrix significantly and is a bit more confusing to your customers.

India’s GSLV is less than half the payload capacity of a Falcon 9, and costs as much or lure per launch. India’s space program is funded at $2B a year, significantly more funding than SpaceX has had till recently.

Those side boosters burning out before main stage, and hanging on as dead weight seems pretty inefficient.

They are at least three years away from attempting a landing. And flying and landing a hypersonic booster OIG earths atmosphere is far different than landing a small lander in a vacuum.

Except that other brokerages pass 80% of order flow savings to customers while Robinhood keeps 80% of it. Robinhood is more expensive than commissioned brokers, it just hides the charges better.

I’m not a lawyer either, but these risks are easy to skirt. First they have time to just fire him, and without contractual protections she/he’s out before vesting a single share. Most US states are At Will employment, meaning they don’

Successful??? They don’t have the revenues to hire a single employee!

If he/she has these protections, they would not have posted asking for help. Truth is they likely have very few options, can be terminated any time the shareholder & founder want, and whatever shares they own will be diluted to 3%

Unless his agreement has anti-dilution, or a favorable termination clause, the Technical founder owns nothing. The investor & founder can fire him/her, then dilute their vested shares to 3%, 1%, or even less. Meanwhile, at most the

The founder and investor can fire him and easily dilute him down to 3% without violating any agreement. He’s got zero leverage here unless his agreement had anti dilution protections.

I joined a Mac software startup in 1986. The two founders told me about going to the first Mac developers conference, they claimed it was them, Steve Jobs, Bill Gates and a dozen or so other people from other companies.

Ignoring debt and actual enterprise values, the more important point is that any business valuation produced by comparing to market prices of other businesses is flawed at best. Unless you are one if the few and nearly extinct economists wh
