If you knew #Historically, someone's house burns down tomorrow. Would you tell them? Then, risk being labeled the arsonist?

@KenKirtland17 I'm team us SLS funds for robotic exploration.

@Ramanean Damn, that's a cool one. I'm guessing it's a result of multiple impacts in the same place over time.

@Truthful_ast @KenKirtland17 They're nervous about the "no training" thing since how it went last time. 😳
English

@KenKirtland17 Speed being the first commercial astronaut that didn’t go through the crazy training would be incredible for spaceflight
SpaceX will fumble extremely hard if they don’t get him for this

While Speed going up in Dragon would be awesome, to make the most of the stream I really would like an HLS / Starship rendevous.
His athletcism in a Zero G starship cabin would be insane.

IShowSpeed says he plans on streaming in space after completing his goal of visiting every country on stream 👀 "there's like 200 countries in the world and I'm at 96.. two to three more years ill be done with the whole world, after than I'm going to space"

@FinancialPhys Idk. But we got better recourse over here. China is less economic that way. It's a trade war. Bro. Wake up and smell the 5d chess.

At what price per gallon is it no longer profitable to go to work?

BREAKING: U.S. gas prices climb to an average of $4.23 per gallon, the highest level since 2022.

@Blobifie Yes this now. Nuclear power so it can look back at the other end of the orbit!
English

If SpaceX did this launch celebrating the booster while barely mentioning the second stage failing to deliver the payload we wouldn’t hear the end of it
But of course, double standards from the tribal mind!
But congrats to Blue Origin, this was still a relatively successful mission and still a test flight IMHO

Be brutally honest. What is your opinion on this design?

@GordonJohnson19 @SpaceX Breaking! Man discovered vertical integration, is furious!
English

So, it seems, that @SpaceX is like a big family that owns two businesses:
🚀 A rocket ship taxi company (the launch business) that takes things to space for people
🛰️ A WiFi business (Starlink) that uses satellites in space to give people internet
Now, the rocket taxi is really popular. When other people want to use it, they have to pay a lot of money (i.e., ~$74mn vs. the $28mn @SpaceX charges @Starlink) — like taking an expensive cab.
But when the WiFi business needs to send its satellites to space, it uses the family's own taxi — and the family charges itself a much cheaper price ($28mn). Like how your parents might drive you somewhere for free, but a stranger would have to pay for an Uber.
This means the WiFi business looks really profitable, because it's not paying full price to get its satellites up there. And the rocket business looks like it's doing a lot of work for cheap — but that's okay because it's still in the family.
So, it seems, now that everyone gets to look at the books... the WiFi business (@Starlink) is actually not at all profitable - i.e., to achieve breakeven, analysts assume each @Starlink launch must cost less than $50mn in total (satellites + launch combined); that implies a Falcon 9 launch is charged to @Starlink at under $28mn (less than half the ~$74mn market rate @SpaceX charges external customers).
Hey @theinformation/@TMFAssociates... does this sound about right?
The Information@theinformation
Is SpaceX "flattering" Starlink's financial performance? Tim Farrar, President of @tmfassociates, thinks so: "If Starlink was paying full price for its launches, then it would be making loss, even though it's an amazing business."

“Einstein is the problem.”
Eric Weinstein didn’t mince words on Triggernometry.
If general relativity holds, we’re trapped on one fragile planet. Even terraforming the Moon and Mars only gives us three reachable spheres — nowhere near enough diversification for long-term survival.
A single catastrophe could wipe us all out because we all share the same atmosphere.
The only real escape, he argues, is cracking physics beyond Einstein so we can get very far, very fast. Otherwise we’re stuck playing cosmic Russian roulette.
It’s a sobering wake-up call about how dangerously misaligned our priorities have become.

@hellspatisserie We're not talking about should or shouldn't. We're talking about, can't test. So fake test or not fake test. It's the sub content. Alot of people dont know what is physically possible. Eaer go. HE WHO BS BEST. Bs's the law.

@RyanHansenSpace @BoosterTribe Don't worry. There'll be another flight. This one is big. But, we have alot of miles stones left.
