  If data centers in space end up being economically viable, then I don't see how anyone can catch SpaceX. They are ten years ahead in both launch capability and satellite manufacturing.

  And just like that Elon Musk shifted the overton window away from "unthinkable" on yet another topic.

      It's physically impossible
      It's technically impossible
      It won't be profitable          <= You are here
      It's bad for the environment
      It needs to be nationalized
    

    This is just a joke, obviously, but the debate over on ArsTechnica about Falcon 9 going away is all about how it needs to be nationalized.
