              talking about it in terms like this is how we'll get the press and public more aware. hopefully before it's too late.

                      @sundogplanets Wouldn't *launching* that many of them have even more atmospheric impact??? (btw I had written off "AI datacenter satellites" as a really bad joke and ignored them, but I see more and more serious people like yourself worrying over them. This in itself wil keep me awake. I'll read up tomorrow.)

                        @sundogplanets @paul_ipv6 I really don't believe this stupid plan is ever going to happen.

                        Even if they can launch 1000 sats a week, it'll take 20 years (if none fall down). And that's not even taking into consideration the resources needed to build them.

                        It's more Elon bluster, and just a way for him to get money out of gullible investors. Think Theranos.

                        There is (unfortunately) plenty of credible schemes to fight.
