We’re totally going to get Kessler syndromed by all of these companies sending massive constellations of satellites into orbit, huh?
Although I agree that we shouldn’t overdo it, LEO is not that bad. Everything that’s up there will come down on it’s own. As long as it doesn’t explode and yeets debris into a higher orbit that is
Yeahhhh, I just don’t really trust Amazon and space x to do both orbital mechanics and communication with other operators correctly.
You need two coordinating thrusts to raise orbit. Worst case it goes up slightly before going even lower and it burns up faster.
Nah these things are too low. They’re designed to deorbit and burn up within like 5 years anyway.
I wish i could deorbit and burn up within like 5 years
Why are you in orbit?
Sorry, I don’t think we know each other well enough for me to answer a question that personal.
Is this a Mallrats reference?
A schooner is a sailboat, stupid head.
Not intentionally, since I’m not sure what that is
Hmmm, which mega-billionaire do I need to give my money to in order to be able to do essential things over the internet?
As government and other services become more dependent on the internet, the necessity of internet access becomes more apparent.
Man, I’m not happy about it, but I can’t get quality Internet in my location, so I think? I am happy to have a Starlink competitor that isn’t openly a neo-nazi, even if it is my second least favorite well-known billionaire. Or maybe third, pending whether or not you believe Trump is as wealthy as he claims to be.
God, this timeline has set my bar so fucking low. Essential services like Internet need to be made public ASAP.
Yep, that, exactly. Both are absolute sociopaths.
LEO is focusing on enterprise at least at first and that makes sense with the consumer market penetration Starlink has. So it’s years out still for us.
🦆: so what is the latency?
🏃🦆: WHAT THE FUCK IS THE LATENCY?!?
If it’s anything like Starlink, between 20-70ms. Better than some Comcast connections I’ve had?
