    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?

          Could you share us a proof of concept or anything that might be a solution for the heat dissipation in space, at scale ?

          You see, this is the difference between bullshit and not. I can claim "we'll do timetravel soon !", but unless I share some "things" (whatever they are) that might sustain that affirmation, this is just bullshit

          Does it mean that no solution exists ? No. Just that today none are known (as far as I can tell).

            This is the problem with European thinking, you have this built-in mindset that you think you're going to be so cool with a gotcha because I can't provide a "proof of concept" or solution right now for a problem that OTHER PEOPLE are working on. Sheesh, just get off your high horse and admit that other people that are smarter and harder working than you are going to solve problems you can't manage.

            Your desire to call out bullshit is stronger than your ability to GSD.

              .. what ?

              People are working on problems I cannot manage (who could have known) and they cannot say anything about that but we have to trust them to bring results out of thin air ? Is this politics .. ?

              If your personal accusations can be boiled down to : "shame ! you are not gullible!", then please know that, here in France, not being gullible is a compliment.

                You're just gullible to the other side, not sure why you can't see that.
