GPS jamming has been happening for years and it's not like dead reckoning is an insane new concept

Bait or genuine techbro? Hard to say

It would be great to have some actual numbers. How did reuse work out for Falcon 9? How much does the reused boosters for SLS cost? What's the cost and performance of an expendable Starship vs SLS?

Thanks, just seeing the hash made me literally shake

As a Swede, "Svenska Freds" is not an entirely uncontroversial organization.

Most don't? Streaming isn't large enough to say that yet I don't think. Google Stadia wasn't a big hit

I'm sure 5 rpis will devastate the power grid

Wouldn't it be the same if you just decreased the transmission power?

Does Falcon 9 fail more often than other rockets?

NASA spending 35 years pursuing pork projects instead of useful technologies like VTOL sounds like the very definition of waste to me.

The waste does not at all stem only from different risk tolerances. SpaceX launches NASA astronauts which means that they also need to comply to the same standards. Pork barrel projects like SLS is the real reason why everything NASA does is so expensive and late.

The statement that NASA would have achieved reuse eventually is weird considering that NASA still exists today, 35 years later, without succeeding.

Doesn't this kind of prove his point? People got sick a lot before they found a pattern and fixed their diet.

the successes of SpaceX have had to come DESPITE Elon's management

Can you elaborate on this? AFAIK all other rocket companies without Elon have not been as successful. Also Eric Berger and multiple employees at SpaceX seem to disagree with your statement.

I haven't heard it be used like that before. It definitely has a positive association in my mind.

The author probably meant that the last launch added 20 new satellites and with their addition finally completing the constellation. I'm pretty sure that they have over a hundred since many months back
