Far too small power output to be worth the mass or trouble. That's according to everyone's analysis of the available literature (which is pretty poor) except one person... er sorry, one "team".

Then again, they laughed at Soupy Sales too. Never mind.

Interesting! I wonder what launch site they will be targeting to use.
They laugh at everything... Except my jokes. Let me try one on you guys....SLS is way over budget and way late and Boeing blames everything and everyone except them. Because they got 90% of the max incentives for excellent performance, so how could it be their fault?... what? You're not laughing? Yeah, me either.

Yeah, me either.I'm laffing... it's too ironic to not get a chuckle... we all know that Boeing have lots of chutzpah, but live on past glories... for which we thank them... just like me, time to let the kids in the room take center stage... Cheers m8ts... of course I'm splicing the main brace, and listening to war music while browsing the notices... As my old da, (He'd be 100 this month) would say, Bloody 'ell, it's days like today that, if you don't laff, you'll cry, better to laff...
This is great conversation. Learned more here than on Google news.
No need for arguments, FFS! In the past, some have leaned. We will see in daylight later. Nothing (much) to see here. Move along...

I don't see any other more plausible explanation.No, it is clearly based on powers of two...20 = LZ 121 = LZ 222 = LZ 4 History has shown that Elon would be perfectly capable of using whimsical numbers, like 420 for the Tesla share price announcement. I vote for LZ-π!
