Yeah. Beck is correct in stating that 8T is a good sweet spot. He—along with every other smallsat fag—is wrong in assuming constellations are the future of the market though as if there is going to be a billion of them
Yes maybe every “big” company like microsoft and apple will want their own constellation. Maybe. But what’s the point? At most they will put like 10-20 sats up and the only way you’ll turn a profit is by charging more per launch as a rocket company—aka the complete opposite of lowering launch costs
