More nuanced (and without using the word "stupid")

  • Making reusable rockets is very difficult. It was high risk, high reward.
  • Electric cars were always the climate change solution IF the battery gets good enough. And it got good enough. I hate my country's car industry (I'm from Germany) for not getting their asses up.
  • Satellite internet is in fact too expensive for average customers. I think, no on has ever declared it as bad for people in regions without existing internet intrastructure. The question is how profitable it is, but it's not publicly traded, so we will probably not get the numbers.

For sure, Elmo can somehow make profit out of it, e.g. by selling the space cloud usage as "can't be controlled by an government on earth" for a high price. But when we concentrate on the facts: It can't be more efficient than Azure or AWS on earth, at least not for the next decades.
