“So doing that exoatmospheric interception, it's already happening. But if you're doing it from space, you can actually do it much more cheaply and much more reliably if those assets are already lingering in space instead of needing to track from the ground, and then basically aim perfectly, make sure there's no failures, and then hit that thing.”

Cinnamon: Satellite platform manufacturing speed is the main launch bottleneck
“The reason they're not able to launch more than let's say about a 150 satellites last year in 2024 is fundamentally nobody is able to manufacture the platforms fast enough.”
