  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.

    I don’t disagree with your general point, but “tech illiterate”?

  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
