And to that end, if Starlink has lots of paying customers and that capacity comes online quickly, that counts. But right now, since they can’t crank out enough base station capacity, every Starlink launch increases SpaceX’s liabilities.

@mynameismatt2010 because they have to recoup the cost from future subscribers and not from contracts paid at least partially in lump sum today.

@snuffeldjuret do you not understand how cash flow works?

@snuffeldjuret if you launch a rocket and it makes you no money for six months, that’s a problem compared to one that makes you money today. Nobody’s talking about “counting only rockets that launch”. The comparison was about WHICH rockets make SpaceX money and when. Honestly I’m shocked some of you fan boys can put on your pants in the morning…

@snuffeldjuret SpaceX making enough money to survive is not an arbitrary distinction, which was OP’s whole point here. If SpaceX launches more rockets than anyone else but makes no money on 80% of them until way down the road, they will run out of cash and credit. This is basic business sense. So yes, how many they launch for paying customers IS the relevant number.
