Maybe they figured out something us “normal” people haven’t, but the physics and economic challenges haven’t really been addressed, at all.
Suggesting such an idea without indicating how - and more importantly, why - you are going to do it makes it an article of faith.
Do I have faith in their trustworthiness? No. Do I think they want to do marketing for their AI financing? Yes!
I’ve worked for a few satellite companies. Nothing that Google or SpaceX suggested should be surprising.
Yeah.. remember people being skeptical about reusable self-landing rockets, until SpaceX proved them wrong? I would not put much trust in resident skeptics.
what is it exactly? jealousy i think. plus then add Elon hate. but now Google wants to do it too.
i mean why wouldn;t you want sci-fi things taking shape?
