A significant explosion at SpaceX's Texas testing site has halted preparations for the tenth Starship launch, damaging the prototype during a static fire test. This setback adds to a series of failures for the Starship program in 2025, prompting investigations and delaying Musk's vision of multiplanetary travel. The incident underscores the risks of space technology development.
Right, I make that (using the lowest figure) over 40 launches per month, every month for the 2 years. Anyone who thinks that is plausible is a tad optimistic.
Elon’s companies are the epitome of the hype-cycle-based stock market manipulation. Take something somewhat useful (EVs, self-driving cars, reusable rockets, …), spend a bunch of VC cash on building an MVP and advertising, make that advertising overpromise every feature by 300% and just send it. People will buy the stock because of the hype, then buy the product (if applicable) because they own the stock, then be forced to “still like the truck tho”/“COLONIZE MARS” for years, regardless of the actual quality (or lack thereof) of the product, because otherwise their stocks might go down.

For comparison, ever since Gagarin flight in 1961, there was 398 crewed launches into space.

Exactly. Hype based capital investment.
it’s predicated on the fact that if people believe it line go up so people believe
That is 6.2 per year on average.
