You can get fuel into space and then get those starships to fly off to Mars and deliver. all this material, including setting up a base that would allow you to actually make more fuel on Mars, because everything we need to make fuel is on Mars. So it's the beginning of the next series of really important milestones that'll hopefully get humanity onto Mars.
It was just so amazing to see it come together. The economics are legit. I mean, this is like a thousand X reduction in cost. It's incredible.

Starlink's apparently, I mean, I know everyone here is a shareholder in SpaceX, but Starlink's running at 4 million subs right now. That's like 100 bucks a month, 4 million subs. And if you do the math, I mean, how many people... have ISPs that are slower than Starlink, right? How many people have cell phone providers that they're paying roughly the same amount that aren't as good as Starlink?

Especially if it can be like crazy that we were like ever. I mean, the whole nutty thing about this past week, it's like we could look back one day and be like, why did we ever drive cars? And why do we ever have copper wire laid all over the earth to like move internet signals around? You know, this, this efficiency game that's going to be realized over the next decade is just incredible.
