RT X Freeze (@XFreeze)It’s actually insane what SpaceX is doing to the space industry right nowIn 1981, it cost ~$65,000 to put 1 kg into orbitFor 50 years, the industry accepted this as the standard. Reusable rockets were "impossible"Then one company - led by a man obsessed with getting humanity to Mars, decided that $65,000/kg was unacceptableRight now, Elon and the SpaceX team are building Starship to hit $10–$20/kgThat is a massive ~4,000x price collapseIt’s actually wild that we get to watch this happe ...

It is crazy to see this chart of the number of objects launched into space and then realize the trend only looks like this because Elon Musk had an insane dream of reusable rockets 25 years ago. https://t.co/aBvHEOXNSa ...

RT X Freeze (@XFreeze)The reason why Elon Musk started working on reusable rockets"I started reading quite a bit about rockets to try and understand why they're so freaking expensiveIf one could make them reusable like airplanes, then the cost of rocketry would drop dramaticallyThe cost of the fuel was maybe anywhere from 0.2% to 0.5% of the cost of the rocketI came to the conclusion that there wasn't really a good reason for rockets to be so expensive and that they could be a lot less even in an expendable ...

RT X Freeze (@XFreeze)When Elon Musk started SpaceX, his closest friends showed him a compilation of rocket failures to talk him out of itThe industry joke was brutal: "How do you make a small fortune in the rocket business? Start with a large one”If he had stopped after seeing those failures, we wouldn’t have reusable rockets, Starship, and the multi-planetary dream. All these would be dead in the waterhumanity would remain a single-planetspecies forever. Instead, we are on the doorstep of Mars ...

🚀 2025 PAYLOAD DOMINATION: SpaceX vs. THE WORLDSpaceX just dropped ~90% of ALL payload mass humanity launched to orbit in 2025.165 record-shattering Falcon 9 launches (mostly Starlink) + Starship test flights carried the vast majority — while the entire rest of the planet (China, Russia, everyone else) scraped together the other ~10%.Elon nailed it: “SpaceX will carry ~90% of the world’s payload mass to space this year, so it is pretty much Earth’s space program.”Reusable rockets changed everything. The gap ...

“Elon Musk and [SpaceX] have gained a lot of confidence that Starship is going to be flying reliably and reusable this year in 2026… Within ~2 years, the company is going to have excess capacity. They could launch all the Starlink data satellites and all the direct-to-cell satellites they wanted. And they probably still have excess launch capacity in 2028 or 2029.” ...

Initial Perception of OpenAI - OpenAI's launch initially faced predominantly negative press, with skepticism from the AI research community regarding the possibility of a small group achieving AGI [1] - A significant critique was the lack of published papers, especially concerning scaling laws, which contrasted with the traditional academic focus on publications [2][3] Contrarian Success & Customer Focus - The report highlights the importance of focusing on customer outcomes rather than solely optimizing for academic recognition [3] - Similar to Elon Musk's experience with SpaceX, OpenAI's founders needed to persevere despite widespread doubt and criticism [3][4][6] - SpaceX faced initial skepticism and negative press, particularly regarding reusable rockets, with experts deeming it impossible [4] Importance of Independent Thinking - The report emphasizes the need to critically evaluate information sources, prioritizing personal experience and direct interactions over mainstream opinions [6][7] - It cautions against relying on social media and the opinions of famous individuals, advocating for a focus on solving problems for a specific group of people [7]
