This to me is the major talking point.  So how many of them left because they could no longer hide their ineptitude or inability to manage the aspect of the project they were running?  Seems to me, they were painting roses in reports and meetings, instead of the real state of the project.

Its not just the laser. It is a bigger sat with way more processing power and bandwidth.

Starship will be amazing if it works. But I think if they had to they would just use the super heavy and throw an expendable second stage on it. It would cost way more but they have gotten really good at fishing fairings out. But Elon is not just a rich man he is an insanely rich man that can throw a ton of money at the problem. Hell he could probably do a gofundme and raise a billion if he wanted to. People really want to see this work. Lots of people.

Our complete knowledge about the Cosmos is still very limited as is your thinking.

It’s been quite a short existence since the Roman times and I’m quite sure Ancient Romans while on guard duty looked up to the Moon and laughed at the soldier that said humans would walk on the Moon one day.

the cost of spacex is irrelevant.

Its mostly private money, with some nasa/mil contracts that they get paid a fraction of old space companies.

their annual cost to the taxpayer may be 0.1% of the federal budget.

Last week they launched for NASA the world's first test craft to deflect an asteroid in a test.

Even if we never live offworld the possible cost vs reward ratio of this is effectively infinite.

Actually relativistic time dilation is a thing. More Lorentz factor (i.e. higher gamma) equals a shorter perceived journey for the crew of a fast ship. The novel Tau Zero shows a rather exaggerated version of this

Information traveling by laser would not take millions of years to reach the nearest planets. The nearest star system, which does have planets, is about 4.3 ly away.
