Abbiamo bisogno di un sostituto per Starlink rapidamente, Musk minaccia di nuovo l’Ucraina

Starlink wasn’t difficult to build. SpaceX was. With ownership of SpaceX, placing those shoebox size satellites into orbit comes at almost zero cost. With every commercial contract comes spare room for extra satellites. In other words, your customers pay for launching your own stuff.

Europe needs those reusable rockets technology. Rockets that can land. NASA financed SpaceX upfront and ahead of any results. Give that kind of money to a bunch of smart engineers and you get those as well.

Europe and especially Ukraine have plenty smart engineers. Costs could be provided by EU and Venture Firms.

Costs: About $40 Billion (see below).
Valuation: As of 2024, SpaceX is valued at **over $180 billion**, making it one of the most valuable private companies in the world.

Just a joke but when you need a Russian to throw someone off a balcony you can’t find one

Say thank you! Uncle Sam always insists.

Imagine also if your car company said technically they could control your car remotely if they wanted but they’re not gonna do it ever. Say thank you!
