Was there an update to this plan that I didn't hear about?
Maybe they can hire SpaceX to launch their satellites. Better than failing completely.

Why adopt a scarcity mindset when energy supply exceeds demand?
Because the manner in which we create that energy is horking up our planet's climate.
I mean, I could heat my home when the power goes out by running my car in the garage and opening a door to the inside of the house.

There are valid reasons to call water vapor in the upper atmosphere pollution, but it's water vapor.
Actually it would be cool to calculate how many cars worth of greenhouse gases the trip produces.
Not sure how you get CO2 out of a hydrogen and oxygen mix, but ok. Calculate away.
The exhaust from New Shepherd is a combination of hydrogen and oxygen in a ratio of two hydrogen atoms to one oxygen atom. Sometimes called H20. Otherwise known as water.

How on earth did human beings survive without starving for the thousands of years between the start of farming and today?
We weren't "subsidizing Chinese manufacturers with free international shipping"
This means a fully trained NN can be recoded onto a single ASIC and run far faster on far less power.
Incredible. You've never designed a processor in your life but you've figured out something an entire industry of chip makers didn't.
I can only imagine what you'll fix next.
You're already carrying the sphere!
