Practically Perfect

BREAKING: Eric Romo (@_Eric_Romo), President & COO of Impulse Space (@GoToImpulse) says: "The idea that launch prices are going to fall significantly in the next 5 years is nonsense." "I think there are an awful lot of business models that are predicated on “when Starship allows me to launch for $200 a kilogram…” I think they’re all broken, & all those companies are going to fail." "I think we’ve seen this play out already with Falcon 9 & the pricing around it, where the costs of Falcon 9 allowed SpaceX to deliver the Starlink constellation at a cost per CapEx that made them profitable. But they set the price in the market at something that just barely made it an okay investment to think about OneWeb or Kuiper or anything like that. So they ran that playbook exactly on Falcon 9, & they had their gross margins on Falcon 9—people think we’ll see when the S1 comes out—are like 50% plus. So they could have dropped the price, & they didn’t. They’re going to do the same thing on Starship, because why wouldn’t they? Their internal costs on Starship are going to be whatever they need to be to deploy Starlink & orbital data centers, but they’re going to set the price so that anybody trying to do comms, anybody trying to do orbital data centers—the price is going to be too high. So if you’re a third party relying on them for a lower price of access to space, I think you’re hosed." 00:20 Hot Take Launch Prices 01:41 SpaceX Market Power 02:23 Impulse Space Overview 02:54 Mira For GEO Defense 03:45 Helios Direct To GEO 05:19 Caravan Rideshare To GEO 06:42 Space Economy Reality Check 08:46 Tom Mueller Legends 10:54 SpaceX IPO 13:42 Investor Frenzy & Broomstick 14:05 Alien Eyeballs Outro @elonmusk Recorded at @NYSE x @payloadspace Space Summit

@InternalRemote @jrivanob @loomdoop Loser? Public policy without having a business is irresponsible.

@practiklyperfct @jrivanob @loomdoop Lol, bye loser

Misunderstanding or misinformation re: wealth tax here. Top 1% do pay big % of taxes, but it's a lot of high-earning doctors, lawyers, etc. Billionaires take stock—Zuckerberg & co. famously take $1/yr—& those stock gains are lowly taxed or untaxed. Wealth tax targets that.

@JulioMedina I saw the solution. It’s incredible

@JulioMedina Absolute truth

No AGI until this happens is what I’m hearing.

@stephenehorn Redcoats Omgish 🤣🤣👆

Military musicians of the Revolutionary War wore reversed colors So the blue coats w/ red facing of the Continental Line became red coats w/ blue facing for the fifers and drummers Americans should know this

Federal permitting affects every American, but the technology behind it hasn’t kept pace. That changes today. CEQ launched Permitting Innovators to bring the best of American innovation to federal environmental reviews and permitting: whitehouse.gov/releases/2026/…

@bhalligan Know a biology start up that has agents making agent ui/ux if you would call it that. Outstanding.

No matter what kind of company you are...start making your internal company data legible to AI. Today. As a founder, you are essentially building two versions of your company: the one humans work in and the digital twin that AI agents navigate to do the heavy lifting for you.

@eddylazzarin @zooko I know that man. And she’s fearless

I fear not the man with great taste, but I fear the man with so little taste that he’ll try 10,000+ times in a fully automated, low cost loop until the market tells him definitively what works and focuses on that until all possible value has been created.

We saw this with delays in the ipo markets 15 years ago. I picked up Dropbox, SpaceX, Facebook all through 2nds. Huge opportunity.

VCs when they don’t invest: “we’ll be cheering from the sidelines” VCs when they invest and get in the game:

The strongest predictor of a young man’s future is his father. While talent and education are important factors, a boy will learn how to be a man by watching his dad. We must never forget the influence we have on the next generation and carry ourselves accordingly.

@teachthemx3 It’s a double dip model.

I tutor students who attend some of these schools. It's interesting that families pay $30,000+ for tuition and still need outside tutoring,

@BenYater @sunnybxtc Just do this again. Rent a shuttle back and forth. Sell tickets $125 a pop. Get sponsors. Greg Dollarhyde likely will front the cash.

@sunnybxtc There was a rave held at the ballroom in Avalon in 1991 - 1992 ish called Gilligan’s Island. I was too young but apparently it was legendary.

someone gotta figure out how to make Catalina Island into another Ibiza
