I don’t think it has sunk in for many people that SpaceX is the freight company for space.

I also know what ground terminals that can track moving satellites while operating at millimeter wave frequencies cost since I am on the board of a company called Kymeta which makes them (the company uses a holographic beam forming technology, sometimes known as metamaterials).
I’m aware of Bezos (maybe more than most people even). Blue Origin might even win. And I’ll call Blue Origin a freight company when it is shipping freight. Until then, it’s an impressive/promising R&D lab.You seem highly qualified. I'm not sure what point you're trying to make, though. It seems we agree that SpaceX moves freight.

My point is that it's still costly freight. You need to have a really good reason to spend $15,000 a kilogram to LEO. That's why the launch market isn't growing/may be shrinking. That's a problem that needs to be solved. Starlink, Kuiper, OneWeb etc are intended to change that.

I didn't say it was cheap. I just said it's a freight company, which a lot of non-logistics people don't realize.
