SpaceX投资者史蒂夫·朱尔维森周五表示，其Starlink制造线每年生产470万台终端。
What Happened: "The Starlink manufacturing line is the closest thing to a fully automated alien dreadnought that I have ever seen. It makes 4.7 million terminals per year, and growing. One subsection is the largest printed circuit board factory in America," Jurvetson said in a post on social media platform X, formerly Twitter.
发生了什么："Starlink制造线是我见过的最接近完全自动化外星无畏舰的东西。它每年生产470万台终端，并且产量还在增长。一个子部分是美国最大的特斯拉-PCB板工厂，" 朱尔维森在社交媒体平台X（前身为Twitter）发帖中表示。
Jurvetson is a venture capitalist who invested early in Elon Musk's SpaceX. He is also on the company's Board of Directors.

SpaceX said in a post on social media platform X in September that it is providing connectivity to over 4 million people around the globe while adding that the customers are spread across over 100 countries, territories, and other markets. Starlink announced that it is connecting over 3 million customers merely a few months back on May 20, implying that the segment added a million customers in just 4 months.
SpaceX在9月于社交媒体平台X发帖表示，它为全球超过400万人提供连接，并补充说，客户遍布100多个国家、地区和其他市场。Starlink在5月20日刚刚宣布连接了超过300万客户，这意味着该部门在短短4个月内增加了100万客户。
Why It Matters: SpaceX COO Gwynne Shotwell said at a conference hosted by Baron Capital last month that the company will make "some money" on Starlink this year. Starlink is the satellite internet segment of SpaceX. It achieved a breakeven cash flow in November 2023.
为什么这很重要：SpaceX首席运营官格温·肖特威尔上个月在巴伦资本主办的会议上表示，公司今年将在Starlink项目上赚到"一些钱"。Starlink是SpaceX的卫星互联网部门。它在2023年11月实现了收支平衡的现金流。
"We are going to make some money on Starlink this year. But ultimately I think Starship (the company's new rocket under development) will be the thing that takes us over the top as one of the most valuable companies," she said. However, Shotwell refused to divulge more of the private company's financials.
"我们今年将在Starlink上赚一些钱。但最终我认为星际飞船（公司正在开发的新火箭）将使我们成为最有价值的公司之一，" 她说。然而，肖特威尔拒绝透露更多关于这家私营公司的财务信息。
Investors can leverage Destiny Tech100 Inc. (NYSE:DXYZ) and Cathie Wood's Ark Venture Fund (NASDAQ:ARKVX) to participate in SpaceX's growth.
投资者可以利用Destiny Tech100 Inc.(纽交所:DXYZ)和凯西·伍德的方舟基金(纳斯达克:ARKVX)参与SpaceX的增长。
