@coogan347 @vo_ro_na @vegansharts @ajdjnej Depends. In my state they had “college in the high school” which is what you described and also “running start” where you could take your first two years of college at a local cc during your last two years of high school and potentially graduate with an associates and hs diploma.

@HowlingNorden @chrissalvano @keithdorejel Bruh economics is a social science 💀

@VektorError @memecrashes Nobody was saying that self-landing rockets were physically impossible. They were saying that they were economically impossible. NASA experimented with self-landing rockets back in the 90s and basically came to this conclusion.

@ElectroMagField @memecrashes Tbf the term "physics expert" isn't referring to a scarce topic which is why professors in physics don't refer to themselves as physics experts.

Also a systems expert isn't even a scarce topic, it's an extremely ambiguous term.

@Jarellozera @_sn_n I cringe at myself saying this but this isn't a right or left thing. This is literally just how the majority of people argue.

@Verity_Keene @BalzakInc @YourAnonNews @OldFart_2015 @grok They also have pepper spray, tasers, and batons to use instead.

[nibroc18 @jbroc18]

@tatertotsconor @BalzakInc @YourAnonNews @OldFart_2015 @grok This was my thought too. Even mailmen make it work with pepper spray without even needing to go postal.

@liquid2ulu People don't pay wealth tax in shares though.

@CooperZurad @KinvertOG If you were to build a house would you rather cut down trees for lumber yourself or buy wood from someone else?

@liquid2ulu @dannycantalk Any stock offered at IPO is almost always overpriced. Usually 6-12 months out when lock up periods expire it'll drop.

[nibroc18 @jbroc18]

@liquid2ulu You shouldn't ever short stock, unless at the very least you can handle the potential loss.

@MatthewPChu1 @MobiusSlit @ContraPoints Sat tv constellations are very different. They have less than a hundred satellites. Starlink has thousands. At the time it was a very ambitious undertaking.

[nibroc18 @jbroc18]

@MobiusSlit @ContraPoints What underlying parameters did SpaceX indicate would be different?

[nibroc18 @jbroc18]

@_Testflight_ Long term maybe not but pretty soon it's gonna decline once the IPO limits are gone.

@catgirlprostate I like how this implies that Elon doesn't complain about anything as if he doesn't chronically tweet about any policy decision he doesn't like.

[nibroc18 @jbroc18]

@doggy_ruby @_AmandaKerri Manipulated freedom. They only listed 4% of the company at IPO so that the amount people were willing to pay was higher.

[nibroc18 @jbroc18]

@SevaUT I mean tbf for Elon he's not doing it for money, he's doing it for power.

[nibroc18 @jbroc18]

@MobiusSlit @ContraPoints Ngl, that's a pretty reasonable prediction given the information at the time. The demo starlink satellites were almost twice as heavy, and SpaceX didn't have SLC-6 for launches yet.

[nibroc18 @jbroc18]

@seconds_0 @shakoistsLog @ContraPoints Because there's actual demand for cheap rockets and telecom satellites. There's no demonstrated demand for space mining and manufacturing.

[nibroc18 @jbroc18]

@JeffTittor @GilmanHill I'm not seeing very many others disagree. A lot of people, even those supportive of SpaceX, believe that that it's overvalued as most of it's value is speculative, a situation similar to Tesla.
