    Elon Musk has already started plans to launch a million satellites.

    Yes. A MILLION.

    This is a colossally bad idea, and it's not too late to make your voice heard. I explain everything:

        @badastro I love my starlink and its a badly needed technology but there needs to be some limitations on constellation sizes and orbital paths.

                  @AvacadoAvenger @badastro it’s not a badly needed technology. What it is insane is that as a society we’ve made it cheaper to launch satellites to provide coverage rather than build 5G cellular capacity and/or fiber broadband…

                    @badastro

                    How realistic is his bluster?

                    A million satellites would require how many launches? How much material? How much precision hardware?

                    This, imho, is just another time the biggest bullshitter in the corporate space is bullshitting to drive hype and get access journos to mindlessly repeat what he makes come out of his mouth hole.

                      @juandesant @badastro I'm going to argue with you that we need the ability to communicate on this planet. I live in a vast nation that has huge gaps in coverage that only a satellite constellation can address. We made nothing cheaper. Elon Musk did.

                          even as bullshit and bluster, it's a way to plow under regulation and just claim the whole space (which, in this case, *is* space) for arbitrary exploitation

                                @badastro I frown to the idea that one man is going to do so much damage to our environment. Well, for sure these million satellites disappear to space ... but even if you can do it, it doesnt mean you should. We are ruining Earth as we speak so now he wants to shit all over cosmos as well.

                                    @badastro So what will happen to those satellites after their service life expires?Will space debris form around the Earth?
