Comment on FCC Denies Starlink Low-Orbit Bid for Lower Latency
ShepherdPie@midwest.social 7 months agoThis is a pretty ignorant take and borderline disinformation. Yes they travel fast. Yes there are a lot of them. No they don’t pose any risk of blocking space travel even if they all exploded because they’re not in a stable orbit where they can just stay up there forever. They’re low enough that they’re facing a constant pull back into earth.

Just for others, they’d all burn up in the atmosphere in a few years.
So it may disrupt things temporarily but not long term.
