Two things, mainly. They do a lot of the production steps in-house, as opposed to having a web of subcontractors (who have their own subcontractors)for each component. But the big thing is just efficiency of scale. Building and launching 100 rockets per year doesn't cost 100 times more than one launch per year.

One of my favorites!

All 3 books in the first uplift series work fine as stand-alone stories. But book 1 (Sundiver) does kinda read like a prequel to the rest of the series. The inciting incident of Startide Rising is what sets everything else in motion for all subsequent books, and Sundiver takes place before that. But it does have a bunch of world building that is helpful context for the other books (and is still a fun story).

I recommend you read Startide Rising first, then circle back to Sundiver if you are enjoying the world and the author's style.

The actual information released in "the Twitter files" showed the opposite of what musky's pet propagandists said it did.

You seem to actually admit that what happened was identifying posts that violated the terms and conditions of private companies. No demands or threats were issued.Does the government have no right to speak truth?

If a government agency notices a lethal hazard in your town that doesn't technically violate the law, should they be prohibited from telling you and your neighbors about the danger?

When a topic has been covered by multiple national newspapers, it's just very silly to claim censorship.

such as, the lab leak hypothesis... once completely censored as "misinformation", but now a viable theory

It was never completely censored. Evidenced by the fact that you, me, and everyone else heard about it.

People got called names for promoting it without good evidence. People also got called names for pointing out that the evidence was super weak. Y'know, what passes for "debate" these days.

Stop lying

I didn't see any election fraud. Can you explain how the fraud worked?

It reads like different people wrote different sections of it

Why not ask him to personally murder a Republican governor? After all, your guy Trump would do it...
