Few people yet recognise the full implications of naming Optimus Robots in the plural as Optimi. The business strategy is dependent upon massive scaling. People will be seeing #Optimi everywhere. https://t.co/hs35XYWIl0
Orbiting the Sun far beyond Neptune, "Trans-Neptunian Objects" are surviving relics from our solar system's formation.
Hubble and @NASAWebb studied the color, composition, and size distribution of 27 newly discovered tiny, dim TNOs: https://t.co/JbjqNu1ffd
1,000 Starships a year is not 1,000 launches a year.
It is the build rate required by the window.
Earth and Mars only line up for cheap transfer about every 26 months. A city does not trickle through that gate. You manufacture, stage, fuel, and send a wave.
The scale is the point: on the order of a million tons to the surface before Mars can stand on its own.
That is why Starfactory is not a 1:1 rocket plant.
Super Heavy returns in minutes and flies again. The ship may spend months in transit, land, and stay as structure. You need a small reusable booster fleet feeding a much larger, continuously built stockpile of ships.
1,000 ships a year is not excess.
It is how you accumulate a Mars fleet before the orbital gate opens.
@LaceyPresley Construction of bases on the moon and marswill be done by Tesla Optimi which must similiarly be built at a grand scale. https://t.co/RRmsgdVdyq
