  • The thing is spacex’s whole falcon 9 architecture needs something to do. They very quickly cleared the backlog of satellites waiting to launch and now they’re waiting for space start ups to materialize and want to launch things into space. The majority of falcon 9 launches now only launch starlink. It’ll get even worse if they can make starship work, they’ll have a huge capacity with nothing to put in it. Ai data centers in space are an attempt at justifying the entire concept of starship or at the very least employ the falcon 9 team.

    This and spacex going public tell me the return on investment of a space based internet provider maybe isn’t profitable enough to fund a rocket development program. Their big cash cow, being the ISS taxi, is winding down and now they’re looking for suckers with money.







  • I lost interest here

    We believe in Milton Friedman’s observation that human wants and needs are infinite.

    We believe markets also increase societal well being by generating work in which people can productively engage. We believe a Universal Basic Income would turn people into zoo animals to be farmed by the state. Man was not meant to be farmed; man was meant to be useful, to be productive, to be proud.

    We believe technological change, far from reducing the need for human work, increases it, by broadening the scope of what humans can productively do.

    We believe that since human wants and needs are infinite, economic demand is infinite, and job growth can continue forever

    If human wants and needs are infinite, why do they turn off when our basic needs are met?

    This reads like a “I am so smart” post.
