Great as if we needed more inefficient communication satellite systems made by tech illiterate billionaires, resulting in no benefit for anyone and ultimately only more garbage in orbit
Strange how that seems to be a common theme huh
You’re right. This kind of technology might be cool if we lived in a egalitarian world where the technology was a benefit for all humans and built thoughtfully.
Instead we live in an increasingly fascist hellworld where this shit is just going to be one of many competing projects by tech overlords who are just going to pollute our world with more garbage.
If it was NASA building a global Internet satellite network, I’d be all for it.
Instead it’s these two douchebags.
And a huge disruption of astronomical research.
On one hand, the emergence of these technologies is pretty exciting from an evolution standpoint, and it points to the possibility of a bright future for humanity. On the other, unfortunately, most of these developments will be gatekept by billionaires with the implicit purpose of enriching the select few.
Maybe one day we’ll all be able to benefit equilaterally.
I don’t disagree with your general point, but “tech illiterate”?
Margorie Taylor Greene sees the basis for a new conspiracy theory!
Until Bezos buys her too
Yay. More space junk.
We’re so fucked when Kessler syndrome will be in full effect.
Not in LEO. There’s a reason starlink is losing dozens of satellites every month
