Why would that be relevant here (or sibling comment about Apple)? Last I checked except for 9.9.9.0/24 (to quad9) IBM is indeed the assignee for 9.0.0.0/8 from back in 1992. Apple got 17.0.0.0/8 back in 1990. Back in the day

Yes, OP is a particularly ludicrous comment in the context of this article where Starship is getting compared to SLS. SpaceX's long term, self-set ultimate economic goals will certainly take iteration and a lot of work. But that should
