Tu peux être un violeur, frappé ta femme et tes enfants, littéralement faire de la traite d'être humain. Mais si tu dis pardon 15 ans après ça va, les gens te pardonnent. Si endeavor c'était une meuf faut voir comment personne la pardonnerais
It’s kinda crazy how a few years ago people were like “omg SpaceX got a 3 billion dollar HLS contract, that’s way too much money”
And now they get 50 billion dollar contracts to rent out their GPUs to AI companies lol. They generate like 150 billion in revenue, the numbers are getting insane
Did you see the news about Anthropic dropping SpaceX? Proof goes a third of the latter’s revenue

I never said they’re abandoning starship, I’m saying they abandoned everything mars-related.
I don’t exactly know where you got this misconception from

Apart from the canceled Mars plans, you have
- Red Dragon
- Lunar Dragon
- Off-shore launch platforms
- Carbon fibre rocket structure
etc, stuff they've spent an absurd amount of money on only to be abandoned. the character limit precludes a full list.

SpaceX didn't invest 10s of billions of dollars in any of those things. The largest of those that they invested in was red dragon which was literally only $300 million (about the same cost of a single delta IV heavy lunch). And even then red dragon, lunar dragon and carbon fiber rocket structure didn’t get cancelled they just evolved into the starship program. Also they haven’t stopped looking into off shore launch platforms. As of 2026 SpaceX has continued engaging with the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management (BOEM) on the potential use of the Outer Continental Shelf for offshore launch and re-entry activities. So yeah, considering that space x has invested more money into the starship program than literally anything else they’ve ever done I very highly doubt they are just gonna pull out on the program especially after starship just achieved operational status and is about to try full recovery in like 2-3 days.

Theoretically, if the booster were to abort into the dunes, do you think they would still attempt the ship catch
for context: the holy grail of space exploration is achieving a rocket that can be fully and rapidly reusable. flying to nyc would cost roughly similar as flying a rocket to space if you had to blow up the 747 after every flight.
spacex revolutionized the industry and dropped costs by an OOM with the falcon9 program, recovering about half of the rocket each time. now, spacex might achieve 100% recovery of a vehicle, meaning eventually the only costs are liquid oxygen and liquid methane, both which you can pull out of the air cheaply, and some minor refurbishment of the heat shield.
if they achieve a full catch, humanity will have fully entered into a new space age: the doors to space fully swing open. if they achieve a full catch, you will travel to space in your lifetime.
You'd have to synthesize methane from the air with lots of energy input. There isn't enough methane in the air to pull.

A 19-year-old student reportedly suffered a panic att—ck and unbuckled her seatbelt and harness while parasailing in Montenegro.
Tijana Radonjic tragically fell 160 feet into the Adriatic Sea and d—ed.
The owner of the parasailing company said she appeared cheerful before takeoff, even waving to her friends on the beach.
He believes she may have unbuckled herself in a moment of uncontrollable fear.
Her family has insisted that she was not s—cidal.
The tragedy happened while Radonjic was vacationing in Budva, Montenegro, with her aunt.
This incident happened in 2025.
They said in the video you can hear her yelling that there was a bee or bug stinging her over and over again.

When it has wings to generate lift and adds aerodynamic control surfaces.
(Yeah, the absence of the 'generate lift' part is why Starship isn't a spaceplane).
All those arguments weeks ago saying Starship can only do 45t to Low Earth Orbit just for SpaceX to confirm that it does over 100t to LEO
lol
What I'm getting at is just what you said, all of this is just statements from SpaceX. There is no independent verification to know what the rocket really can do, what a full size starlink satellite really weighs, or how much bandwidth it really has.

That’s basically true for most launchers. Most rockets in operation have never lifted their max payload capacity. All you can do is go off of official numbers. Also your original statement was that using bandwidth to pay capacity with a bad metric. Going off of official statements is not a bad metric. And with official statements you can absolutely use bandwidth to determine the payload capacity for this situation.

Alors juste un point
J'ai jamais dit que le prochain vol raterais
J'ai aucun doute qu'ils rattrapent le ship (c'est le booster qui pose des soucis mais le ship vol parfaitement)
C'est sur l'avenir du programme et le réutilisation que je suis inquiète
I'm more aiming my criticism on the whole Moon and Martian aspect, as the second stage is also the spacecraft for the transit/mission ^^

That’s honestly more simplistic. You could build a larger space station like spacecraft as a transit vehicle but you’d still have to fuel it up in LEO and then you have to bring a starship along with you because that’s the only vehicle in existence that could actually land and then eventually take back off from mars. It would work for lunar missions but would really only make sense for large crewed mission.
