Half of our economic issues atm are because the government printed money for covid stimulus. And that’s just stimulus, not even close to meeting deficit
I beg you. Never seek a position of power

You don’t understand how money works do you? Yes. The government can go broke
Yes the government distributes currency
For fuck sake. Do you think they can just print more? Do you know what happens to countries when they try that?

That’s not how currency actually works lol.

NASA also didn’t create SpaceX. And to claim the CCP messed it up is absurd frankly
Also not once was it a single source competition. Again, that’s just false

Emotional? Bro he’s not emotionally favourable
And that’s projecting a bias in and of itself to assume he will be emotionally attracted because of weak reasoning
And no. There is not financial bias. That’s been established and will be routed out by the ethics committee

No it’s like saying you don’t rely on Ford to make pickups.

Yeah they have deep ties. Doesn’t change the nature of many of their MOUs
Also, as a note. Starlink isn’t primarily a D2C provider. This is more of a side hustle for them atm
AST getting a significant market share in the sector doesn’t mean they’re being outcompeted on their overall market

Not actually better really when they’re significantly more disruptive
And it’s no surprise they have their own intentions. Why did you think they hoovered up spectrum rights?

They were quite literally referred to as the worst offenders by the IAU because of this. The block 2 sats will be even brighter (mag -1, as bright as Vega)

And yes. There have been complaints
The current Block 1 sats are mag 0.3 at brightest (target is 7, so 300x brighter. Average is still 40x brighter min)

I mean as competitive. Their niche isn’t much wider than starlinks and Starlink has a head start despite a tortoise approach to rollout
20-40% share is what’s projected. Starlink is currently at 92% in beta

The MOUs here are also exploratory deals. Starlinks are binding and commercial deals

This is just how the two compete though. AST is bidding on quantity atm then having a solid market when they enter
Starlink has more agreements with operators but only a few for D2C because they prefer to have a working network and revenue potential before making deals

If this is all you treat a means of exchange as
Do you know what happens when countries take the rookie error of just printing money?

Yeah they have some deals. But to claim they’re going to be as competitive is a stretch
There’s also something that should be noted about the fact their sats are enormous and bright.
Very hard to scale that and meet astronomical targets

Florida Phoenix is not a valid source lol
I mean from the outset it’s saying they will “block beaches” by which they mean limited closures for launches not denial of public access
I suggest you widen your sources from clickbait tabloids who are feeding you a story not the truth

Use ≠ rely on. The U.S. absolutely does not rely on Starlink and Starshield is managed and operated by the pentagon

Testing is also not done through NASA. Only some work is done this way (such as entry testing) but this isn’t a conflict of interest and isn’t something Jared could change the agreements on to actually benefit SpaceX

Their portfolio with Starlink is 12mil. Not billions
And no. NASA doesn’t have strong links with Starlink. If you feel any different please cite specifically where this is the case

So again I ask. Can you cite examples SPECIFICALLY where they’re ‘bypassing’ their environmental requirements under their assessments and subsequent licenses?
Not vague accusations that don’t standup to basic scrutiny

The two pads, a cadence far higher than current and additional construction is all covered under the EA and mitigated FONSI
“Fuel contamination” is…not a thing here lol. The fuel is methane not hydrazine
During all breakups so far methane and lox have dispersed all within assessed limits.

It’s why there’s so much in terms of per flight significance and care put into the mission now
Something as simple as naming boosters with funny and lighthearted quotes does an immense amount to making morale solid
