>but in an affordable and sustainable manner
replyAffordable is a bit questionable. It's heavily subsidized by Starlink and government.
Not completely clear what happens to price if SpaceX doesn't keep launch demand propped up with their own business.
Yes but... All the "value" in SpaceX is in AI. Actual space launches are a tiny part of the portfolio. Talking about launch capability is almost off topic when taking about SpaceX valuation.
replyWhen I checked, Starlink seemed somewhat valuable but highly questionable addressable market (limited growth)
reply> It will soon restore the heavy launch capability
replyMaybe!
>but in an affordable
Maaybe!
>and sustainable
Maaaaaaybe. Gotta start gigantic scale methane production from solar or whatever first.
We sometimes get in the habit of thinking Elon, who is a Nazi, accomplishes everything he sets out to do, since he was so incredibly effective at getting EVs going and getting the Falcon 9 going. But he has plenty of misses too, like ruining the foundations of democracy, being over 12 years late and counting with self driving cars, hyperloop, the cybertruck, etc.
