   How are they solving the heat dissipation issues?

      That's the neat part: you don't (ergo, this is yet another marketing crap)

         just like reusable rockets sending astronauts to the space station and internet in the sky. imagine if they delivered on those bs marketing claims?

            I don't recall the scientific community declaring those things to have been BS when they were announced.

               I guess we're redefining "the scientific community", cutting out those who were wrong each time? Do you consider the French Space Agency (CNES), former NASA Administrator Charlie Bolden, the European Space Agency to be part of the scientific community? I still vividly remember one interview where Elon started to tear up because Neil Armstrong and Gene Cernan publicly denied the feasibility of SpaceX's mission.

               "Scientists" being detractors and everyone going online to comment about how something is impossible while the people doing the thing just do it then all the detractors quietly shrug it off until the next time is so consistent it feels like Groundhog Day. I'd really like to learn about why so many people get off by saying something that other people are working on is impossible.

                  I guess you are doing the opposite?

                  Let's make a chart for how many times this has worked vs failed.
