With all due respect, I think your analysis is wrong. He points out how much luck plays into everything and so even if someone younger with 95 year experience came out I think he'd point out that in the end there's an element of l

I doubt they’d need to go public. Regardless of your views on Elon, he’s consistently raised billions privately whenever needed. Even without Starship, SpaceX seems cash-flow positive and profitable thanks to Starlink and Falcon 9. It’s sim

I agree. It's felt like a lot of online forums are starting to become Quora where it's all self-promotion thinly veiled as adding to the conversation. It reminds me of PG's The Submarine blog post ( http://www.paulg
