@YammerTime01 It's all a scam. Nobody has the exact numbers on per rocket basis. All we know is they make a big loss every year at SpaceX. And that should be enough to push that reusability fairy tale back in Musk's ass. Thank you.

Here he is once again pulling a big round number out of his ass. Can someone show me the arithmetic on how reusability (full reusability is con man bullshit) reduces launch costs from $100 million to $1 million? Fuel + ground operations + recovery must be > $10 million.

@alluringmedia They have free rein for over 3 decades, what do you expect.

Real-life human shit stain and billionaire, Larry Fink of BlackRock is basically saying we "must beat China in the AI race" and in order to do this, money for data centers "needs to be taken out of YOUR pension funds and savings accounts." WRONG, BITCH‼️ BILLIONAIRES ARE USING AI TO BECOME TRILLIONAIRES AT THE EXPENSE OF EVERYONE ELSE. THEY THINK AMERICANS ARE DUMB ENOUGH TO BELIEVE BILLIONAIRES ARE TRYING TO HELP PEOPLE.

@benny0692698414 Good riddance! Let's make this an opportunity for Europe only, European hardware only, and European safety only by Europeans (and Canada). Good bye, we salute you 🫡

At a closed NATO meeting, an envoy from the Trump administration delivered message to the other NATO countries: The Pentagon is preparing to significantly decrease U.S. contributions to NATO. And the Trump administration expects European countries to have a plan in a few weeks for how the gaps should be closed. It writes the German magazine Der Spiegel, which has gained insight into Friday's meeting in Brussels, where Defense Minister Pete Hegseth's envoy informed senior NATO members about the US plans. According to Der Spiegel's information, the United States will henceforth make significantly fewer fighter jets, warships, drones, tank aircraft and strategic bombers available to the alliance. For example, the U.S. will reduce the number of fighter jets at NATO's disposal by a third, while the U.S. will keep submarines completely out of NATO. That's the message purportedly from Pentagon envoy Alexander Velez-Green. The U.S. report has significantly gone beyond European officials expected, Der Spiegel reported. They had thought the U.S. would cut down on NATO contributions more slowly and more gradually. spiegel.de/politik/deutsc…

@mondiani This chart is clearly made up on marketing financials. No science in sight. The guy supporting this "ourworlddata" site is no scientist too, philosopher at most. Highly suspect and just to be ignored. Thank you :-)

Brother, SpaceX has a $37 billion loss and $50 billion debt, either they're bad with money or those cost per kg are bunk. Probably both

@Microinteracti1 I thought Eutelsat was given priority 3 years ago? Did I miss something?

The EU is moving to prioritize European satellite operators over Starlink, as the European Commission prepares a decision this week designed to reduce the bloc’s dependence on U.S. infrastructure. Starlink currently controls roughly two-thirds of all active satellites in orbit. Bouygues CEO Olivier Roussat, speaking to CNBC, called Europe’s reliance on American infrastructure “dangerous” a warning Brussels appears to have finally taken seriously. SpaceX has already pushed back, urging the FCC to prepare retaliatory “reciprocal restrictions” against European satellite firms, raising the prospect of a transatlantic trade clash in orbit.

@barryzed @Microinteracti1 You are way behing your ass.

@Microinteracti1 Europe is way behind SpaceX. Even if they were to construct a reusable system it would still take decades to catch up to where SpaceX is now. Elon will win this battle.

@NXT4EU This is only about production. Losses from wind to consumer can be 80% on average. Also grid still needs extension, just for wind, with huge extra costs. Be sane, build nuclear. Fairy tale graphs.

Germany is RAPIDLY accelerating renewable energy since a few years. At this pace, Germany will have an abundance of energy again after 2030.

@archer_rs Undermining climate change debate here!

Apparently climate change is a myth.

@cturnbull1968 It's true but let's stop talking about Kamela (worst candidate ever). Thank you.

Let me put it to you this way, if Kamala were president and all she did was sit in the Oval Office, drink wine and watch reruns of The View, our country would be ten times better off than it is right now.

@anvilpinyata Full of bots in replies! Estimate 95%, fyi :-)

This is my flag. It stands for unity, freedom, peace, democracy, equality, civilization, diversity, rule of law, science, beauty, and strength. There is nothing more important to fight for.

@NXT4EU Nonsense! Of we need energy independence, but wind is not the answer above ~20%. The numbers here must be rubbish.

Research suggests that every €1 invested in wind energy delivers €7 annually for the European economy. This is due to the compounding effects of not having to import energy, leading to faster growth.

@magyarpeterMP Bad signal. This will only increase corruption.

The Prime Minister’s salary will be reduced to less than half of its current level. The salaries of ministers, members of parliament, and mayors will also be significantly reduced. What I expect: humanity, moderation, and humility.

@NXT4EU Keep it up, it needs to change quickly. Go federal!

Right-Wing ECR has started Europosting, and you are dooming? Across the spectrum, people are becoming more Pro-European than ever before. Statistics indicate 9 out of 10 Europeans want Europe to be more united to face global challenges.

@LarryTheSir @thunderf00t Yeah, aiming for reuse costs 12 rockets so far. Seems logical. As we expect to send 1000 to the moon, just as the bunny drawing datacenters in space 🙃

@thunderf00t And in every case the Saturn V rockets were lost and never used again. It's not the same thing.

there were 12 saturn V launches in the entirety of the Apollo program. 'Starship' still hasnt made it to orbit after 12 flights!

@5t0rmw4tch3r @electionsjoe Good post, a bit of old news. This recycling of old stuff should be banned imo. Still a moronic statement though :-)

@electionsjoe Included the date with this screenshot

WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT? YOU WERE THE PRESIDENT ON JANUARY 6TH

@fireofenergy @thunderf00t Ends up with Grok giving a bunch of empty PR statements and no denying the bottom-line 👇

@thunderf00t You've totally lost it. SpaceX saves money by reusing falcon 9 boosters and the price per kg to orbit reflects that.

2017 I questioned IF the whole recycling rockets thing was ever going to be cost effective..... to much wailing an gnashing of teeth by musk fans 2026, turn out spacex has LOST $3500 for every kg the company ever put into space (BEFORE XAI) 😂🤣🤣 $26 bn deficit for 7.5mn tons

@Richard61750818 @PattyMurray Another bot

@PattyMurray Trump never cheated on his taxes and that is a fact . You dumb ass keep lying about Trump saying shit that you know is bullshit trying to make people to hate him but all you are doing is making people hate your party more keep it up. Because we will see how that works out for you

So if you or I cheat on our taxes, we could spend time behind bars. But if Trump... or his kids... or his businesses cheat on their taxes, the law doesn't apply. This is insane & beyond corrupt. DOJ works for the American people, NOT Donald Trump.

@NXT4EU Just ban all oligarch monopoly tech. How difficult is it to ban exploitation. And yes, please ban X too. Thank you.

Should have been with Mistral. 🇪🇺 We should stop funding American innovation and instead support European!

@Mr_Sempere @TheJFreakinC The current battery storage is 610 GWH (2025), and is about 1% needed during night. Assuming all is functional. Good day.

@tip00former1 @TheJFreakinC Nice to speak with someone from the 2010s

Well this is both hilarious… and depressing at the same time. Trump’s Interior Secretary just discovered that the sun sets at night… Doug Burgum said: “When the sun goes down, solar panels produce zero electricity. The whole machine doesn't work.” Then, Rep. Jared Huffman literally held a battery up and said: “I request to enter into the record this amazing new technology that apparently the Secretary is unaware of. It’s a battery.” Then Huffman added that China has figured it out, “that’s why they are cleaning our clock on clean energy.” Energy storage exists. Grid-scale batteries exist. Entire countries are building them at scale right now. But, here we are, still debating whether solar panels stop working when the sun sets. At some point it stops being a policy disagreement and starts feeling like we’re arguing with reality itself.
