In both of those cases, the platforms actually did those things at some point in time and for one later pivoted a few times.

When did SpaceX do Earth-to-Earth commercial travel service? How many people have ridden on a BFR?

Did Burbn ever have an in-person community? Was HN ever a successful startup news site like TechCrunch?
