Wozniak finding an excuse to have a private space company is somehow the most...pathetic of all the rich guys compensating with space companies. A cigar may sometimes just be a cigar, but a rocket is never just a rocket with these people.
Finding an excuse? He doesn't need an excuse. He's got the money/ability to raise the funds to do it. He's choosing to do it for a reason that's going to be generally beneficial, if it works, at least. That's pathetic? I'm just generally baffled by people criticizing these billionaires - the ones who are putting their money into making America a clear leader in what is going to be an increasingly strategic industry,…
profitable? well, at least they have a theoretical path, unlike uber: further resource exploitation cuz we're really running out here, and we can't just let our art gather dust in vaults! Anyway, I haven't worked out the numbers yet, but I am curious to see how capitalism overcomes the laws of thermodynamics here. like, have you ever tried to get a package from chicago to vancouver? so yeah all we need a a giant fucking rocket, and Amazon's amazing supply-chain logistics and..dang, who knows, it might work. And Bezos' weak chin is incidental.
