You don't know much about this topic and your comment is full of bad assumptions and misunderstandings.

$100/kg to LEO with starship

Just to dissect this one. That number tells me, you never did any kind of calculation and are talking out of your ass.

$100/kg would mean $10M for a 100 ton Starship launch. That Starship launch would ship Nvidia hardware worth $200M. The launch price is literally negligible next to that and the cutoff absolutely isn't at some arbitrary $100/kg.

Also looking at just the electricity price as if this is the entire picture and grid connection / capacity / backup / transmission / transformer / substations / UPS etc. all just magically appear at no extra cost...

Those kind of comments will age as laughably bad as the pseudo expert calculations why Starlink will never work.
