    Launch costs are on a declining trajectory comparable to Moore's Law-driven chip cost declines in the 1990s.

    One reason Starcloud has been so successful at fundraising is that it's a bet on launch costs decreasing, and that's like betting on Moore's Law in the 1990s.

    Elon Musk quoted

    Sustainable energy alone will not save humanity from extinction events; temperature-controlling satellites and large-scale geo-engineering will be needed.

    Extremely severe extinction events happen every 100M years or so and just switching to sustainable energy will not be enough to stop them. Space satellites to control temperature and massive geo-engineering will be needed or it will be game over.
