Down vote as there is no apostrophe, it's Greggs... not Gregg's.... Greggs of Gosforth if you want to be posh!

The GP is a Thermal Unit!
Being Northern, I have to say that I find The Gregg(s) a superior unit to the Pastie, not only does it do weight but it also done thermal as its the unit of measurement the govt uses to be Amibent for tax reasons and we know how wonderful HMRC are, also for health and safety, happy Christmas.
1 Greggs Pasty (GP) = The amount of thermal energy required to be molten-lava hot on the outside while remaining geologically cold in the centre.
The Greggs Heat Scale
• 0.2 GP – Warmish. Safe. You think, “I’ll bite the corner.”
• 0.5 GP – Deceptively hot. Steam escapes. Confidence still unjustified.
• 1.0 GP – Standard Greggs Pasty
Outside: surface of the sun
Inside: Victorian cellar temperature
• 1.5 GP – Tongue damage likely. Regret sets in. You keep eating anyway.
• 2.0 GP – Full mouth burn. Roof-of-mouth skin sacrifice. No lesson learned.
• 3.0 GP (Festival Variant) – Has been under a heat lamp since 6am. Classed as a controlled weapon.
Common Usage
• “That coffee’s about 0.7 Greggs.”
• “Careful mate, that’s at least 1.3 pasties.”
• “Microwaved lasagne? Solid 2 Greggs, edges lethal, middle frozen.”
Key Scientific Properties
• Non-uniform heat distribution (core remains inexplicably cold)
• Time-dependent danger (cooling curve lies to you)
• Overconfidence amplification in hungry subjects
In short:
The Greggs pasty is not a precise unit; it’s a warning system.

Re: Launch cost
Kuiper is a better product, Starlink suffers from very high Jitter when it exchanges birds, every 13 minutes AWS say they solved this problem with next-generation tech. If the AWS ground terminal is better, its going to be win-win. Launch cost are Tax deductible as R&D investment, which Mr Trump has kindly bought back in

Re: Who cares
"He is a canny investor and seems to mostly let the sensible folk run his companies once he's bought them (Cybertruck excepted)."
He really isn't. Hyperloop, Mars Oasis, Solyndra Investment... to count a few rather big failures. He seems to want to live off Government grants in the early days, and when that dries up, he gets out of dodge.
SpaceX survives getting ex-Nasa investment to get to ISS and sat-bird launching.
