SpaceX’s 10th Starship test wasn’t just about Mars—it spotlighted the overlooked story: Starlink. We break down the “idiot index” (materials vs. launch cost), the Mechazilla catch system and heat-shield progress, and why Starship-deployed Starlink V3 could add ~60 Tbps per launch—about 2.4M simultaneous 4K streams—with ~20–30 ms latency and direct-to-cell coverage. We cover what Flight 10 proved (the first successful “PEZ dispenser” deployment test) and what’s next: catching the upper stage and rapid turnaround. Finally, we zoom out to the second-order effects—from globe-spanning, minutes-long point-to-point travel to truly ubiquitous connectivity.------🌌 LIMITLESS HQ: LISTEN & FOLLOW HERE ⬇️https://limitless.bankless.com/https://x.com/LimitlessFT------TIMESTAMPS0:00 SpaceX Launch and Its Significance1:49 The Idiot Index Explained2:49 Starship's Reusability Goals4:07 The Need for a Massive Rocket7:01 Introduction to Starlink7:54 Starlink's Current Capacity11:52 Competition in Satellite Internet13:19 Flight 10's Major Achievements15:30 Understanding Flight 10's Success19:36 Future of Space Travel20:38 The Broader Implications of SpaceX25:26 Closing Thoughts on SpaceX and Humanity------RESOURCESJosh: https://x.com/Josh_KaleEjaaz: https://x.com/cryptopunk7213------Not financial or tax advice.

In this episode: AI Scaling Wars, we dive into the fierce competition among AI giants like XAI, OpenAI, Anthropic, and Google to build massive data centers for achieving superintelligence, with XAI leading the pack by constructing their Colossus 2 supercluster, boasting over 550,000 GPUs in record time.Elon Musk's team at XAI has revolutionized the process, slashing a typical four-year build to just 19 days for Colossus 1, leveraging innovative hacks like integrating Tesla Megapacks for stable power, all while aiming for 50 million H100-equivalent GPUs that could consume 2% of global electricity.We contrast this with OpenAI's ambitious Stargate project, facing funding drama amid a $500 billion investment plan, and discuss how these efforts prioritize training over inference to accelerate AI progress. Ultimately, this arms race promises breakthroughs in science and job creation in America, but raises questions about energy demands, national security, and who will claim the prize of godlike AI.------🌌 LIMITLESS HQ: LISTEN & FOLLOW HERE ⬇️https://limitless.bankless.com/https://x.com/LimitlessFT------TIMESTAMPS00:00 Intro To Scaling Wars05:42 This Scale is Insane10:17 New Chip Architecture15:00 Competing Strategies20:13 What's Everyone Else Doing?26:44 Bringing Chips To The USA------RESOURCESJosh: https://x.com/Josh_KaleEjaaz:https://x.com/cryptopunk7213------Not financial or tax advice.
