you have no points… i’ve seen their numbers… the subscriber growth is non-existent… revenue is abysmal… the costs are exactly exorbitant… there is nothing to hide… it is a failure hoping for a rescue… think what you like…
That’s what Starship is for. A giant, cheap, stainless steel space truck built by blue collar welders that will vomit out hundreds of them before returning to Earth intact to pick up some more.
The whole Mars thing is just for PR. He has a different use for it. That thing ain’t ever making it to Mars.
Don’t get me wrong, I’d love to be proven wrong and see it succeed, but it takes a LOT more than welding together a steel soda can with engines to get there.
Apparently you don’t know how to have a conversation… Doing a quick search it seems like Starlink is around the break even point for operating costs and revenue, so if you’d like to provide sources to refute that, that’d be great.
In January of 2022 SL had about 245,000 subscribers. In January of 2023 they had 1,000,000 subscribers. In September of 2023 SL had over 2,000,000 subscribers. They’ve increased by a factor of 10 in less than 24 months and doubled in the last 9!
Musk is an ass but what your saying about SL just isn’t true.

What makes you think Starship isn’t going to Mars?
Cryo boiloff for long duration missions hasn’t been solved, for one. Have you seen how much it vents just sitting on the pad?
Fair enough. Starship is still in its infancy though so I wouldn’t completely give up hope yet.

I get your point, but isn’t that essentially what any rocket is? Lol
your belief in the myths apparently helps you to ignore the reality
You have yet to actually provide any counter points other than plugging your ears and saying “Nu uh!”
the numbers are public, apparently none of you care to observe their reality

WTF are you on about?
