SpaceX’s Private Control Of Satellite Internet Concerns Military Leaders::Military leaders around the world have expressed concerns over the dominance of SpaceX founder Elon Musk when it comes to satellite-based internet services.
Especially concerning to the military leaders of authoritarian regimes!
Yes they should be hacked and forced to reenter at point Nemo. space trash.
You think we should just destroy millions of dollars worth of cutting edge internet architecture which aids rural communities have usable internet globally because you don’t like the guy who paid for it? Seriously?
No because its a gigantic security risk to have that amount of space trash flying around. I don’t give a single fuck about musk, blue origin builds something like that as well, its also absolutely shit.
Also, who the fuck is “rural communities” and has the money to afford this service? Cause guess what, satellite internet is expensive as hell.
Here is a video explaining the problem https://youtu.be/eeQnv_IWttw
Dude, calm down. It helps people. It’s faster than a lot of landline internet. And it’s good for more than just rural communities. Now personally, it doesn’t affect me at all. I live in a big city. But that doesn’t mean it’s not useful. There are plenty of people living rurally who can afford this too. Living away from people doesn’t make you poor lol. What kind of an idea is that? It’s not “absolutely shit” it’s an incredibly useful technology that can improve the lives of many. Now don’t get me wrong. Spake debris is an important issue that needs to be solved. But that doesn’t mean we should just scrap every space project lol. That’s like saying “argh, there are so many cars on the road. We should just get rid of them all because they could crash”. That’s not a solution. Starlink satellites are also designed to fall back to earth, and burn up on re-entry. Which obviously doesn’t just solve the problem but it’s an improvement and an important step
