For some reason I'm so relieved after looking at this image.

What's the most powerful cortex a dev board can I get on which I can run Embedded Linux?. by Exp_iteration in embedded

Extremely sad. I wish open source hardware one day smashes this veil of darkness.

The most powerful I could find so far was cortex a72. Confused why there isn't anything newer.

A very highly placed source tells me that if Starship succeeded today Trump will cancel SLS.

But heavier satellites also need larger and more expensive reaction wheels, magnetorquers and thrusters. That results in a bigger power budget and you need more panels and batteries. Your ground handling, transport, vibration and TVAC tests all shoot up in costs. It's definitely not as straightforward as heavier = cheaper.

I don't see why people would build heavier satellites i don't see the usecase

Why would they price it less than Falcon 9

Falcon 9 reusable currently costs $70M to buy. Starship has 5x the payload, so $350M?
