>370,000 tons to LEO

SpaceX is building spaceport with 10 pads or something like this. At 1 Starship/pad per day that 1000 tons/day to LEO - i.e. 1 year.

The Starship is making great progress. Even if it takes 10 years to once-a-day reusability, the need will be even greater by then.

> compute and AI models move so much faster than that timescale

tech moves faster with each iteration, and datacenters and networks only grow with it. The ground-based datacenters has and will continue to grow in cost. While space-based costs will be cheaper and cheaper. Not the first time we have 2 such curves, and such curves dynamics usually leads to paradigm shift.
