    Guys I just had a wild thought

    What if… SpaceX’s Starlink… is the spy satellite network?

      What if our phones were a global spy tool of surveillance capitalism?

      Every single ISP in the world is collecting every little bit of useful data they can and providing it to local intelligence agencies. Even if not, it’s safe to assume they do. There’s no reason to believe anything less for starlink.

    And in sure 150 launches in a year is not contributed in any way to global warming…

    Especially that startship… Right?

    The problem is all with us, and that salad dressing container we threw out instead of recycling …or those plastic bags . Right?

    How are we not taxing them more? This Is unnecessary and no wonder the planet is heating up.

    150 rocket launches must make a material difference!

      Probably not as much as we assume. Space related emissions are 1% of the aviation industry. Also, we just discovered ocean trawling and dredging is the equivalent to the entire aviation industry…

      There just is a lot that needs to be done before even worrying about space launch emissions.
