@stillgray Are there citizens of nations who are helping Ukraine on this list?

@ajtourville But surely no reasonable person would launch nuclear war? The problem with that logic is if we were dealing with reasonable people, we wouldn’t have war in the first place.

@EvaKBartlett Is this list real? What’s the URL?

Yay!!

@Rainmaker1973 People should never fear turbulence. Commercial airliner wings can handle insane amounts of bending.

@mtaibbi The right question to ask

@officejjsmart @MelnykAndrij We’re just following his recommendation 🤷‍♂️

@narutium @SawyerMerritt Falcon can probably get Starlink past breakeven, but Starship is needed to fund Mars

@TeslaOwnersEBay @SawyerMerritt @SpaceX Yes

@spideycyp_155 @SawyerMerritt @SpaceX In addition to terminals, we have to create, launch, maintain & replenish satellites & ground stations & pay telcos for access to Internet via gateways. We’ve also had to defend against cyberattacks & jamming, which are getting harder. Burn is approaching ~$20M/month.

@SawyerMerritt Also, Starlink is still losing money! It is insanely difficult for a LEO communications constellation to avoid bankruptcy – that was the fate of every company that tried this before. When asked what the goal of Starlink was at a space conference, I said “not go bankrupt”.

@BogusThought @SawyerMerritt @rfdctr Maybe the 🐈 got their 👅

@spideycyp_155 @SawyerMerritt @rfdctr @SpaceX Very few in Iran so far

@SawyerMerritt Strange that nothing was leaked about our competitors in space launch & communications, Lockheed & Boeing, who get over $60B … Wouldn’t be surprised to find this particular individual working there when he retires from DoD. Corruption at its finest.

@SawyerMerritt @rfdctr SpaceX is not asking to recoup past expenses, but also cannot fund the existing system indefinitely *and* send several thousand more terminals that have data usage up to 100X greater than typical households. This is unreasonable.
