Curious that Tesla stock fell in price at the moment of the Starship abort. For what possible reason would a failed rocket launch affect the fortunes of an electric car company?

So about $25bn for Mr Musk. Expensive.

Whats the point of taking passengers if they aren't going to be paying attention. Leave them on the ground and take someone who actually enjoys the experience.

There are quite a few providers of inflight wifi via satellite (or even cellular towers). Speeds are not usually as high as Starlink but it is ridiculous to say they have zero competition. You also have Amazon building a constellation, OneW

Some of us are, yes. I've noticed it when interviewing interns. A surprising number seem unable to think on their feet or solve problems without immediately reaching for chatgpt. I don't necessarily expect you to be able to solve

That's really not correct, simply based on where their satellites will be and the orbits they must follow. Do you work there or something? The whole thing is an obvious scam. None of what you say is realistically possible in practice.

The US has already killed a few Indian sailors, I am not sure they would blink at causing an oil slick.

It still would only work close to sunrise or sunset. You cannot get hours of extra light this way.

You could turn the mirrors around and reflect sunlight away from the planet. That might be useful. Imagine using it during a heatwave.

Demand is low. Remove Starlink and look how often they launch. And look at how it has changed over the years. There's a reason they went so hard into Starlink.

What counts as a good book varies from person to person. But take a look at anything by Asimov. I have a collection of his short stories and it is a nice read. Oh, and any short story collection by Chekhov.

Space lift is not very profitable. The money comes from whatever you actually put in orbit with that lift capacity.
