    Israel is a specifically Jewish state with laws (rape specifically) that protect jews only. Citizenship freely available to all jews globally. Apartheid is, and always has been, structural. It’s a similar proposition to say Americans control America, based on American citizens having privleges. But that statement is also anti-semitic, because it denies Israel’s control.


  • Starship is targeting $50-$200/kg or lower if they are successful.

    $30m is $200/kg for full starship capacity (150T). AI1 is volume constrained.

    where you’re getting $4.5 million for 150kw of solar. Space will be more expensive, but it’s $1.1-$1.5w in the USA right now at large commercial scale on land

    $4.5m is standard space GaS solar cost. SpaceX does claim $3000/w. $450k. 1MW solar in US is under $1m. Add 16 hour battery 2mwh = $200k. At $1m space equipment before GPUs, is $6m equivalent terrestrial costs due to 5 year replacement. Actually 5x the cost. You can also cut earth costs by over half by installing in China or Mongolia with the same latency to US as from space.




  • $30m launch costs seem a floor. Very high employee count. Higher maintenance than planes per flight, Expensive rockets. Very complex attachment/detachment from solar+radiators that would last longer than 5 years (apparently they scrap solar/radiators every 5 years because that is too complex)

    AI 1 is 125kw. $2.5m would be building allocation. $625k-$1.5m would be solar power costs with battery. All in US. Cheaper elsewhere. lasts 30+ years = 6 launches. Nebraska farmland would be under $1000/year (4 acres) for 1mw of solar, batteries, datacenter. Desert land in NV $100/year.

    At well over 2x the cost for a space datacenter, you need to charge 2x the rate to terrestrial competition. But its much more than 2x more expensive. 150kw of space solar is $4.5m. 18x more expensive yearly, though even at 1/10th cost, 1.8x more expensive yearly. Radiators, shielding another $600k, so adding to best case solar, 3.3x more expensive/year. Comparing launch costs to building to get just 2x price difference, needs $1m/satellite(with solar/radiators) launch costs which is the just fuel costs.

    I didn’t include the minimal land lease requirement for fully green earth datacenter. An unsustainable aspect of current space law is that SpaceX gets free squatter’s rights for first to take valuable Sun Synchronous Orbit, including using the most convenient wasteful overuse of prime solar facing angles that denies space to all others. In it’s current wasteful design, if a 1m wide window was taxed at $1000, they would pay $70k/year in taxes to UN/global UBI fund. If they redesigned to a 1x500m solar array, they’d pay $1000 in taxes, but leave room for them and others to fill the rest of SSO space. The value of that space fully saturated could fund $47B/year of something earth people need.








  • Monarchies over the ages are a bad example, because there was a sustainability mandate to pass off a good country as inheritence to heirs. A candidate for worse countries would be Idi Amin, and US allies, but for US allies, their alliance is forced due to CIA coups/colour revolutions, and the scale of Idi Amin’s pillage is a million x lower. The utter oligarchist/corporatist supremacist nazi economics and geopolitics of US, together with the pure Israel/Zionazi capture of every elected official is a corruption that is beyond any other in both scale, and in fundamentally voluntary complicit bribery scheme for pure bribery value, excluding Mossad operations such as Epstein. The late stage empire pillaging stage is next level. That Congo arrests officials for corruption proves low levels of extended corruption. ie. punishments happen.
