In a late Friday FCC filing, the company mentions deploying a staggering ‘one million satellites’ in orbits ranging from 500 kilometers to 2,000km.
Space junk debris field
No no no stop letting this junkie fuck everything up
Shooting rockets into space now means they have to negotiate a maze of a million satellites along with all the other space junk out there.
We are creating a cage from which we will never leave earth.
Dyson sphere is supposed to go around the SUN not the Earth. FAIL.
Surely this will never pan out as every other one of Musk’s promises?
I genuinely don’t understand how they believe a data center in space is a good idea.
… esp. since they’ll need to run at extremely low speeds due to the difficulty in cooling them.
I’m starting to think Musk doesn’t understand that “space is cold” won’t help here.
Just curious, why wouldn’t it be a good idea?
Literally the only thing that works for this idea is solar energy and half the RTT because there is no need to route both up from the earth and back down. You can’t maintain that, its hard to cool, its expensive to send up there, radiation not good for computers and on and on.
Fair enough
“I’m just going to the datacenter to replace a hard drive”
Basically there aren’t a lot of upsides and plenty of downsides
Kessler syndrome
they have been doing it for a while. its probably some stock market scam to make themselves look more valuable.
Muskrat is clearly an alien sent to Earth to ensure our doom.
Right next to the one million robotaxis and autonomous robots, I presume.
They can ship em on Tesla semis running through TBC tunnels.
I totally forgot about those! Just let me hop into my new roadster and drive to the hyperloop station to get to the Starship launch-pad in New York.
Who wants this again? Why are we polluting the atmosphere even more again?
The owner of SpaceX needs income, so it’s time to try something new to dupe idiots out of their money.
Some day in the future some space-archeologist will wonder who the fuck left all that junk out there.
How, when and where will all these satellites come back down?

Maybe a giant one in geosync could work?
