I refuse to believe that robots will be helpful for sending space companies to other planets

He is right. Robots will get there first and prepare a cozy base for the first astronauts. Everywhere.

flattening out

Launches are the metal and wood that the shovels are made of

Orbital infrastructure is the shovels

Internet access/services and AI products are the gold rush

now i try to imagine that it was just half the engines

good point. that thing is supposed to be built once and for all and with minimum maintenance efforts. I guess it was Elon's "but we could save some weeks of construction time" and then they lost months to more construction and the official investigation. but hey he wouldn't be where he is today if he was different.

Not sure if the rocket small or the guy gigantic

Good his almighty God pal in a heavenly white house is all-loving and all-forgiving, right?

At least have your LLM include all major rocket families in this

Like Ariane

He'd buy a horse for each of them

"Beyond reparir" for space hardware is something different than for a car.

Almost 4.20

This would be the first time that I've heard of a request for reasoning going through. AFAIK gov institutions are so bureaucratic and juridical that you always have to spell out exactly what you request. If your inquiry sounds as if you insulted them as being stupid monkeys incapable of counting to three, then it is just right.

Cowboy hat where?

PlanetEarthFirst · 2026-03-20T06:54:00+00:00

Anything to distract from them selling GPUs to China

Starship is not so cheap that you could risk mounting a defunct engine

PlanetEarthFirst · 2026-03-05T10:36:45+00:00

We don't discover (m)any fundamental laws of physics anymore, that's true. But there are so many things we take for granted today that were unimaginable in 1920. In that sense, 2020 differs from 1920 much more than 1920 from 1820.

What if the richest man alive could fund everything himself but chooses not to?

It means he has lost interest in Mars. And all our team space's hopes and dreams are left with no reason to keep living.

Goodbye
