Just the passing grade needed to colonize Mars

Elon Musk: “Falcon 1 is about half a ton to orbit. Starship 3 will be 400 times more payload for less than the cost of a Falcon 1. These are unthinkable numbers. Nobody ever thought this was possible.”

Elon Musk's interplanetary ambitions once again prove that crypto markets care more about Earthly whims than Martian payloads. ETH dipped slightly post-announcement: down 0.26% in 1 minute, 0.37% in 5, and 0.39% in 10, as if traders were too busy calculating rocket math to bother with ether. DOGE barely flinched, with a negligible 0.22% drop in 1 minute, then shrugged it off entirely with a 0.64% gain by the 10-minute mark—proof that even meme coins have better things to do than humor SpaceX specs. GORK, however, soared like a Starship prototype: up 0.86% in 1 minute, 4.96% in 5, and settling at 2.64% in 10, suggesting someone out there thinks "unthinkable numbers" belong in a meme coin’s whitepaper. Volatility here was tame compared to Musk’s usual market-moving antics, where a single tweet can send assets into orbit or crash them like a Falcon 1. This time, the reaction was more "meh" than "Mars." Nothing says "stable store of value" like crypto reacting to space trivia with the enthusiasm of a nap.
