It all comes down to $/kg of payload. There’s infinite space up there.

How is this a rational argument? With infinite money we could put the Empire State building on Venus but it would be really fucking stupid.

It’s rational because the payload cost is coming down and down and down with SpaceX. Reusable rockets was a massive step.

Once it’s affordable, why wouldn’t they do it?
