RE: Is it free to internet?

in OCD5 years ago

Elon can keep his space trash and stick it in his Boring tunnels. Haven't we learned enough yet from all trash we produce, and all damage it causes, to next repeat the same behavior in space... just because there was an economical great idea behind. Yes, that was also how plastic was pitched.

I agree. I'm really skeptical. The idea of internet service for all is enticing but already the light pollution from the starlink satellites is a problem here in Arizona. Not often considered, but we have 3 really famous and serviceable telescope installations that are already comprimised.

Yes, there's that too. Unless they change the locations the starlink sats will also interfere with several more of the strongest telescopes in the world.

It was a great idea but we know enough to decide "this probably isn't the solution, let's ditch it".
