So people can get wireless Internet in remote places that still won't be as fast as fiber-optic. How is this worth a trillion dollars again? People seem to be bamboozled stupid by a ketamine snorting hype man

"At 7:48 a.m. CT, Starship's Super Heavy booster ignited its 33 rocket engines to send the spacecraft on its 14th flight. Two-and-a-half minutes after launch, Starship separated from the booster and continued into space. One of the six engines on Starship failed during ascent, prompting SpaceX to decide whether to continue to orbit. About 22 minutes into the flight, the team decided it was safe to do so."

I'm sure the ulterior motives will come oozing out eventually. My guess it either involves killing people or threatening to kill them.
