Any journalists want to write an article about all the environmental costs of the more than 10,000 Starlinks that are now in orbit? All I'm seeing are breathless articles mindlessly worshiping That Awful Billionaire for crossing the 10,000 satellite mark.
Every single one of those will come down in an uncontrolled reentry. That's a lot of metal in the atmosphere, and a lot of dice-rolling to see if any more pieces will make it to the ground.
SpaceX is truly awful.
@sundogplanets SpaceX - or rather #Starlink - is my lifeline, and the lifeline of many thousands of others living in a rural location with no proper broadband service. #Spacex may be "awful" but it has improved my quality of life immeasurably.
@drewtowler Absolutely understand that. SpaceX could provide internet access without destroying the night sky and the atmosphere if they would focus on providing service with fewer satellites that have longer operating lifetimes. That is the engineering challenge they need to rise to.
@sundogplanets donald is the son of perdition donald is the anti-christ the beast... elon is the devil incarnate, lucifer walks among Humanity. maga is a mark of the beast. Wake Up Humanity... WAKE UP!!!
elon is the devil incarnate, he Is lucifer.
@sundogplanets I nominate @clive ! ✨
@sundogplanets I’ve been thinking about this a lot lately it’s really sad
@sundogplanets Apparently this is why the Ozone hole is back. And the buggers are only just getting started.
@sundogplanets It's not even that fast of service.
@sundogplanets
I always ask myself: Why so many?
@Becovich That is a question no one has ever made SpaceX answer.
What percentage of those articles were generated by "AI"? 50%? 80?
@sundogplanets but they increased the price for aviation customers from $65/month to $250 and decreased the allowance to 20GB. That’s over 3.5x shareholder value! And if you want to go >300MPH, it’s $1,000. That’s >15x! Line go up means they should be allowed to dump as much metal into the atmosphere, no matter what unknown consequences might occur.
@sundogplanets There's also the ozone layer issue. Holes in it used to be a bad thing. I guess not anynore. Musk is destroying the planet and no one stops him.
His really big spaceship is a flaming mess too. Flawed system concept. Years behind schedule. Unlikely to every work.
@mastodonmigration @sundogplanets He just needs a good supplier of Rearden Metal and everything will be fine
( /s in case you don't remember minutia of Atlas Shrugged )
@sundogplanets Recommend adding #journalism #media #space #science for reach on groups
@sundogplanets well soon we will inject some burned satellites into the atmosphere on a daily basis. This will scale up material like aluminium dioxide in the upper atmosphere by factors like a million?
Well anyway. It will be the biggest environmental experiment since burning fossil fuels for 400+ years.
Wish your kids good luck, they will need it!
@sundogplanets Yes, I would love to. It's on my to do list.
