    I've got solar panels on the roof of my house, here in Denmark, and the government charges you for producing more power than you use. Their reasoning behind it is, that houses with solar panels, are putting extra stress on the grid. This seems completely illogical in my mind, not to mention very counterproductive. When we initially got the solar panels, they we're a great investment, but the government realized how much money they were loosing to private solar installations, so they changed the rules. Why can't we just move towards green energy, without having to shoot ourselves in the knees at every turn. Metaphorically speaking of course.

    I think we really need to see a proper break-down of the costs of launch rather than what SpaceX charges per launch. It could be that the numbers are amazing, but currently we do not have any information on whether the launches are profitable or running at a loss.
    There are definitely reasons why SpaceX might choose to run losses on each launch, if that means they look more competitive than they actually are. Let's remember that most of SpaceX's market value lies in its percieved future potential, not as a consequence of any profits achieved. That's fair enough, of course, but it also means that before it goes public (which it looks like it's going to) the current owners might have an interest in inflating its value as much as they possibly can before selling and only then publish more correct numbers.
    I don't know either way but it wouldn't be the first time Musk did something of that sort.

      If you reuse a rocket only once. That’s a savings of hundreds of millions worth of hardware, that wasn’t thrown away. Sure it costs to recondition the boosters, but creating new ones requires a lot of raw material. I don’t see how it couldn’t save money. Imagine the cost of a plane ticket if they threw the plane away after every flight?

      Also, SpaceX's COO said, last year I think, that the re-use option only really saves money if the rocket can be made ready again within about 24 hours. Currently it takes 27 days.
      It's not all about materials cost. In fact, that part is probably the least of their worries.

      Absolutely agree with you.
      Yeap, until we see SpaceX's ledger it is kinda speculative to find out if SpaceX reusability is profitable, having only contract prices some of which are available.
      Nevertheless, in 2015 WSJ got some leaked papers from the SpaceX insider, which shown that SpaceX barely floating near breakeven and(at that moment) has been planning to start launching Starlink for getting "enormous profitability".
      Why it is so?
      IMHO, reusable rockets are extremely expensive. For reusability rocket needs very expensive rocket engines, which must take huge stress (while for none reusable rockets everything is designed to serve once but well), overcomplicated avionics, additional parts like landing legs and aerodynamic frames with further complication of hydraulic system, and always search for compromise in so many parameters that's it is truly a masterpiece of the rocket design. However, there is launch market and suddenly it is not that big to fulfill needs of reusable rockets. In other words despite existence of reusable rockets there is no much need to launch anything so often. That's why Starlink appeared - to bring launches for SpaceX. Almost every SpaceX launch beginning back from 2020 is a Starlink launch. While giving launches for company, Starlink also provides additional investments for Starship (ultimate reusable rocket, which doesn't have any launch market at all, so lately became another Starlink career).
      What about Starlink? Official data and expert opinions say, that it is SolarCity-alike money pit with unclear financial future.
      Does SpaceX get any profit? If any - it is highly questionable.

    • @jens-kristiantofthansen9376
      @jens-kristiantofthansen9376 Pƙed 2 lety +6

      @@Immanatum I agree. Having looked at what Starlink costs to set up and run, it really doesn't look like a viable business. Just a big back hole into which billions will have to be poured every year. I mean, 42000 sattelites that need to be replaced every 4-5 years. That's in the region of launching 100k sattelites per decade for Starlink alone.
      The only reason anyone thinks this is a good idea is because it's Elon Musk doing it. This is such a poorly developed idea I simply can't fathom why people aren't laughing hysterically over it. It genuinely sounds like one of those 'future ideas' from the late fifties, or like if you locked twelve engineers in a room and briefed them to manufacture the least practical, least affordable, most complicated to implement, and most burdensome ongoing solution to providing internet connectivity to consumers who mostly won't be able to afford the product.

      @@josephdavis9204 You know what would be awesome? If someone invented a game for renewables, where the more you reduce a given building's energy requirements the better your score. So installing solar panels would be the biggest win, followed by points for installing smart lighting, switching the AC off while at work, etc.
      My company decided to go solar and we just finished the setup and configuration in May. Our building is for office work and manufacturing so we use a LOT of power; fortunately our roof is completely flat so we get the same sunlight throughout the day and changing seasons. We only used half of our roof for solar panels so we could double our output if it ever became necessary or profitable. Unfortunately Florida sucks for renewable energy and the government lets power companies do what they want a lot of the time. We have more power than we need, so the owners decided to put in some EV charging stations for employees to use free of charge. I was hoping we would have batteries installed so we could still operate if the power grid went out, but apparently there are issues with batteries and 3 phase power or something? I don't know...it just sucks to sit in the dark when you are producing megawatts of solar power a day. We'll get to 100% renewables one day, I just hope I am alive to see it.

    Good to keep in mind that there's a difference between launch cost and launch price (at least from the perspective of the launch company). If SpaceX cuts their launch cost by half with Starship, do they have any pressure to reduce their price accordingly, or just pocket the difference? Until other companies can do the same thing they don't really have any price pressure at the moment. Reducing prices would be competing with themselves.
    It's not like when they were trying to prove themselves & low prices was how they got customers to bite. Now they're a known quantity in the market.

      How true. But keeping the launch price high encourages the competition to try for a piece of the pie, while limiting your profit margin would only slow down the development of better launch systems.
      Elon does have specific goals in mind, and plans to get there within his lifetime. Let him charge whatever he wants.

Whether looking at public utilities which have gone private or healthcare providers that have gone from non-profit charities to private for-profit companies, it never seems to be cheaper in the long term. Kill out competition and get some public support, then ratchet up the costs to those paying (taxpayers in this case).

    10:19 Absolutely. Monitoring and measuring feedback is great for everything. Having a way to see your electric usage makes it so much more tangible how much you use and much more provoking to turn stuff off. Using a scale to weigh yourself or biofeedback devices to see your glucose or blood-pressure or heart-rate, etc. make it so much more motivating to try to manage them than being in the dark about it. This goes for pretty much everything. In fact, it can get to the point where it feels like a game, trying to get everything to the optimal points, trying to get your electric usage as close to 0 as possible, trying to get your bio-stats to stay in the healthy range and such like it's a challenge.
    10:56 There's no reason to feel guilt about using renewables and being less affected by oil-related problems in the world. That's the whole point, if oil-people hadn't opposed green-energy so vehemently, we would be using orders of magnitude less oil right now (if at all) and wouldn't be in this predicament in the first place. The only solution is to get off it ASAP. Righties are the ones whining about high gas prices, as well as the ones criticizing Biden for going to Saudi Arabia to try to fix the prices, and also the same ones who refuse to switch to renewables and thus causing the problem in the first place. 😒

      HelloFresh's main appeal for US consumers is the pre-planned aspect of the meal. Cooking at home is seeing a huge decline, most of the upcoming generation can't make anything other than box foods with simple instructions. Also most adults in any given household usually work 40 hours a week and doing that plus housework plus cooking plus child-rearing etc is exhausting and time-consuming. Instead of using time to plan/shop/cook, HelloFresh and other meal plan kits allow someone to skip the plan/shop stage and spend 20 mins for a fresh meal. It makes the consumer feel good about themselves i/o going out to buy fast food. I'm not advocating for/against this mentality and this is personal opinion of course.
