There's not even 60,000,000 pixels in that image.

Not sure if I misunderstood what you said, but it's not that they only use a few digits because it doesn't need to be that specific, they only use a few digits because that's all that is needed to be that specific.

He's ambitious for sure, but people were also saying landing boosters wasn't feasible and a waste of time. Now not only is it possible, but it's routine, and now it allows them to put up more mass than every other agency combined. I'm also curious to know who's catching boosters like Super Heavy.

The entire space industry is full of delays and over promises, that's not unique to SpaceX. What is unique to SpaceX is their approach to design which is to test cheap and often in order to develop a refined end result. I'm not sure why the payload part is relevant. Starship is still a prototype, so of course they're not using a payload.

SpaceX isn't publicly traded yet, so not sure why you're mentioning stocks. Also not sure what consequences you're expecting since it's a private company.

I agree, fuck Elon Musk. Care to elaborate on the second part? Cause from what I know about SpaceX, they've been doing things never thought possible with their rockets and are helping progress space exploration significantly.

SpaceX isn't the first company to be making rockets. Who do you think has been making NASA's rockets? I'll give you a hint: it's not NASA.

And Elon started SpaceX way before me was the richest person in the world. You can hate Elon Musk. I'd even agree with your hate there. But to direct it at SpaceX and accuse them as just being a money-making-scheme for Elon is a little ridiculous.

Considering this has been many, many years in the making, I don't get how you could come to the conclusion that this was a "fuck you" to SpaceX. And calling Starship a shitty rocket just further shows you're a little biased in your assessment of the situation.

It usually takes more than one thing to label somebody left or right.

And "it's just a meme" is how we ended up with a meme in office twice.

You can't fool me! That's just a potato with legs.

I think it has to do with the fact that LLMs suck at math because they have short memories. So for the walking part it did the math of 50m (original distance) x 2 (there and back) = 100m (total distance). Then it went to the driving part and did 100m (the last distance it sees) x 2 = 200m.

Why is that a bad thing? Should Democrats stay in their echo chamber and Republicans stay in theirs?

And it's not even close. They put up more mass to orbit than every other entity combined.

So you're saying we don't have enough details to argue that they can spend the money however they want, but you can argue that they can't spend the money however they want?
