With the newz hawking the mission ad nauseum like it’s the second coming of Christ while it’s also closely related to Musk’s Starlink; burgeoning data centers and Bezos’ space investments …. I’m just wondering what all the noise is really about.

1. Starlink and ipads were not created by them.

It was given to them to sell to consumers. FEMA was using them about 10 years before commercially available.
