"A whole civilization will die tonight". Has any American president expressed such a thing in words before? Even considering the terrible things that country has done in the past, revelling in death and misery in this way is a new

Also his general reactions and overall maturity seem very poorly developed. I might expect that response from a thirteen year old, but a university student? Really sounds like an arrogant rich kid who has had a lifetime of getting whatever

America has spent more than the equivalent of Artemis blowing up yet another middle eastern country for no good reason. I know which I'd rather get the money.

I don't believe that to be true. Starship may host humans next year if it can get to a stable orbit and manage to demonstrate sufficient control for docking. It is extremely unlikely to demonstrate any environmental control before that

Way to go proving Iran right. Who wouldn't want to eliminate a nation that bombs and kills your civilians?

I don't see the difference between the US and Iran given what you are suggesting. How would you treat an Iranian attack on the Golden Gate Bridge? Would you call that a cowardly terror attack?

Kerbals don't need food or water and can live forever on a limited air supply. I once rescued a kerbal who got stuck around their equivalent of Venus for multiple years. So it's all fine, they'll patiently wait...

Even the SLS cost less than $50bn to develop, which is a lot, but only a fraction of what SpaceX is apparently worth. Developing a new rocket like the Falcon 9, even a reusable one, would cost a private investor less than $10bn. It would ta

Most of the numbers seen arbitrary to me. Why is Starship worth $170bn? Based on what analysis? Why 38x earnings for Starlink? Maybe the AI has some justification, but the way it is presented just looks flimsy.

We should have little sympathy for them, but ill thought out war will do nothing to improve things for those citizens. Far more likely the opposite.

That seems to be mostly because of oil use which is coming from transportation. Electrical generation is dominated by nuclear and renewables. Electrification of transport will help, provided they don't generate the additional electrici

They would break more often. This was a key limitation of LEO systems prior to Starlink.

>It's already deployed test satellites into orbit. No... it hasn't done this. It hasn't yet deployed anything into orbit.

AI customer support is a great way to wonder why you no longer have many customers.

Not the same at all my friend.

A million satellites is implausible any time soon. You need to launch 300 a day for ten years straight without losing any. Just will not happen.

Yes, but if you asked someone at SpaceX before flight 1 where they would be by flight 11, I doubt they would have been happy about the reality.

I doubt they set out to launch eleven times without reaching orbit.

Well the SLS has already sent a capsule around the Moon. And it has kept a lot of people employed. That's pretty much what it was intended to do.

Tesla seems like a terrible example. The obvious answer would be because Europe doesn't have meme stocks.

How much dangerous censorship does your Asian nation carry out? India, for example, blocks thousands of websites - no sex work for them - and regularly shuts down the Internet entirely.

What about the reverse? If China announces a unilateral pause, would the US follow?
