  But SpaceX has literally lowered the cost of a launch by an order of magnitude. They also are flying one of the most successful rockets ever flown.

  While I do agree that there are scenarios that are very complicated, I feel like this website does a very poor job at showing those. Almost every single scenario they show doesn’t make sense at all. Why are there barriers on one side of the road, why does half the crosswalk have a red light while the other half has a green light?

  Why do you think that space is a huge downgrade though?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Tesla Cybertruck Owners Who Drove 10,000 Miles Say Range Is 164 To 206 Miles⁩ ⁨⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I read aggressive as in accelerating aggressively. Possibly to get around people?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Tesla Cybertruck Owners Who Drove 10,000 Miles Say Range Is 164 To 206 Miles⁩ ⁨⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  While that is true, it’s not fair to say “see they lied! In completely different circumstances you only get a fraction of the range!” Even for ICE vehicles they use ideal conditions to measure their MPG/range even though most people aren’t driving in ideal conditions.

  Looks like the plan is for it to eventually reach speeds over 4000 mph.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Study shows Tesla owners have most car accidents, but Ram has the worst drivers⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  As someone who has floored it in a Tesla with no racing experience, it really isn’t hard to stay in the lane.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Starlink loses out on $886 million in rural broadband subsidies⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I get your point, but isn’t that essentially what any rocket is? Lol

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Starlink loses out on $886 million in rural broadband subsidies⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Fair enough. Starship is still in its infancy though so I wouldn’t completely give up hope yet.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Starlink loses out on $886 million in rural broadband subsidies⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  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.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Starlink loses out on $886 million in rural broadband subsidies⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  What makes you think Starship isn’t going to Mars?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Starlink loses out on $886 million in rural broadband subsidies⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  You have yet to actually provide any counter points other than plugging your ears and saying “Nu uh!”

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Are phone notification LEDs still a thing?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Maybe older models were a lot less efficient with always on display, but I just checked for my Pixel 8 Pro and the ambient display was <1% battery usage.
