For reasons already outlined, I have doubts about their math. Targeting $250/kg payload costs is ambitious for a rocket that has not yet successfully reached orbit or proven cost-effective.

Even if we do somehow succeed at affordably dumping tons of GPUs into orbit, what do we do about the Kessler Syndrome?

From first principles, does anyone know what the minimum costs are to put a rocket into space? There must be a minimum cost given that the rocket engines have to thrust until reaching escape velocity to get you to space.
