@DissentFu Forty years of working and zero savings isn’t the trillionaire’s fault. You live in the richest country on earth. At some point the common denominator is you.
@eager_space Would be cool to see it mature enough for large constellations like Starlink. The crossover where Starlink beats fiber on latency could drop from ~1500km to ~600km.
@eager_space@SpaceHaxx@SciGuySpace Yeah, I knew that, but I thought the reason they never redesigned it was due to little demand for heavier payloads. I must’ve been thinking about V1 60x260kg =15.6 tons and F9 reusable payload is 18.5 tons, I was wrong tho looks like V2 mini is mass constrained.
@SpaceHaxx@eager_space@SciGuySpace I’m not aware of many Falcon 9 launches that are constrained by payload mass, seems most even Starlink are constrained by volume, especially LEO launches, explains why the Falcon Heavy flies so little, except for energy-intensive missions.
