@JeffBezos aurafarming on SpaceX's social media platform after spooking Elon enough to abandon Mars.

@Robotbeat As someone who worked space plants and works lunar lights, I love this.
Plants would never happen but I'd be surprised if starship didn't have warm lighting

[Matt Hardy @matthuwu]

@JackKuhr Not surprising. Bulk of the valuation is based on their AI market, and space professionals don't utilize or trust AI

[Matt Hardy @matthuwu]

@KenKirtland17 @Truthful_ast It'd be a better sign if the number was 100-1000. A milli is outrageous

@RWhitney @Erdayastronaut Check the date homie

@JackKuhr Station degradation is absent here - if these ~$5B assets need to be replaced every 5 years, the financial situation looks bleak.

[Matt Hardy @matthuwu]

@KenKirtland17 @Cosmic_Andrew1 Exactly. Better to not fall to the sunk cost - the money already spent is peanuts compared to what it'd cost in the future in terms of money and distraction time

[Matt Hardy @matthuwu]

@KenKirtland17 Elon updated his definition of consciousness as AI in form but human-centric in value. Listen to his interview with Dwarkesh Patel if you want to hear more. Worth a listen but it's a sad pivot

[Matt Hardy @matthuwu]

@KenKirtland17 Now try creo and see if solidworks still holds that title

[Matt Hardy @matthuwu]

@SciGuySpace If this keeps up, someone should write a book about the Isaacman era

[Matt Hardy @matthuwu]

@DrPhiltill "now" doing some heavy lifting

[Matt Hardy @matthuwu]

@GrantObi to be fair, @peterrhague said people want to go explore space "for economic opportunity and political freedom". Not exploration, pursuit of dreams, advancing humanity, etc

[Matt Hardy @matthuwu]

@Robotbeat @KenKirtland17 esp with the introduction of datacenters, Mars is insanely deprioritized at SpaceX.

@SciGuySpace "But acquiring an AI company and putting so much effort into orbital data centers? Is this consistent with the Mars mission?"
Musk will promise it's about Mars to attract talent, but Mars gets sidelined until the AI race settles down.

@SciGuySpace Wonder if the timing of the New Glenn announcement is related to Jared's confirmation hearing. I'd guess it's coincidental, but it certainly helps his argument about SLS alternatives.

[Matt Hardy @matthuwu]

@SciGuySpace "number in the ballpark of 12 to 20 flights (probably with the next-generation V4 ships) is realistic"

Is this a typo, or is V3 too underpowered to complete refilling in under 20 missions?
