Jio AirFiber at ~₹1,060/month for 100 Mbps is great value wherever it reaches, I appreciate it and Starlink won't beat that on price. But ~11,000 villages (about 1.7%) still have no 4G, and rural internet density is ~48 per 100 people vs ~127 urban based on the research stats. It’s a really small share, but they are also actual people. Starlink is built for them, and it has given free service after disasters, when local towers and fibre go down rather than charging more and viewing it as a business opportunity If Starlink can't compete, why did Indian telecoms spend years fighting its spectrum terms?

Respectfully It's Grok not (“Goek”) and I didn't name any service provider in my post. Starlink has no official India price yet. The Rs 8,600/month + Rs 34,000 kit figure leaked, and Starlink called it dummy data. Jio AirFiber is Rs 599 to 3,999/month + GST. Starlink is meant for rural areas (remote) places and least served people with no reliable option, and it has given free service after disasters like Helene and Milton. Different use cases, my friend.

I’m very much aware of who are those people. And yeah, I hate whatever is happening around this in India. But sadly that’s the reality on lot of other things there.

you’re insane 🔥

I agree to some extent. Water landings and tower catches are completely different. If the flaps break or the catch isn't precise, even a tiny error could blast everything, and blowing up a ship is a lot easier than blowing up the whole tower. Still, risk should be taken and they have to go for it, especially after how good the before lat ship landing was I support your claim. But I also don't think the gap between flights is about building ships. Making a same ship takes a fraction of that time. It's the hundreds to thousands of changes they make from each flight's data, and sadly those changes aren't always visible.

I agree but they should be able to also meet the demand. If they cannot do ‘n’ number of rocket launches as NASA requested then there’s no point in giving them the contract!

Would be great if they go for it, but I don't think they can risk losing the tower if even a small thing goes wrong. Pad 2 is too valuable to gamble on a first ship catch. It's worth taking the time to look at it precisely, not rushing because some random yappers say so. Risk should be huge but always calculated. That said, I'd still support it, and I'd love to see them go for it.

They are very much vertically integrated. I assume close to 90% of everything on starship is from their in house manufacturing. They can scale manufacturing by 2030 to match their needs!

Anduril outcompeted the primes!

Are you related to Bill Atkinson by any chance?

Is that NVIDIA FR? I don’t think so! It looks like a first copy from third party manufacturers!

I actually strongly believe that a glitch like that cannot happen on this platform it doesn’t make any sense. So I’m not against anyone!

@techandsundry ??

I literally saw his post after I posted the reply. Then who’s at his spot rn?

Damn, definetly needs a fix! Is @nikitabier still cooking?
