I have to update the Starlink numbers in my talk. But this time, I last gave my talk TWO DAYS AGO. This is stupid.
There are 27 more Starlinks in orbit today than there were on Monday: there are now 9,526 Starlink satellites orbiting above our heads.
1,458 have already been burned up in the atmosphere (and at least 1 of those made it to the ground in the easiest place in the world to find space debris...) adding many hundreds of tons of weird metals to the stratosphere. #ProfSamLectureTour
@sundogplanets
So, Starlink must have at least 100 million customers to justify this, right?Right?

Of all the things that could be achieved with that money @sundogplanets 😔

Oh fuck, there are 9 more Xingwang megaconstellation satellites in orbit compared to Monday as well. Time to go outside (and not see any stars. I am really tired of cities).

@sundogplanets “This Starlink satellite crashed in the easiest place in the world to find space debris. Is that near your house?”

@sundogplanets cape canaveral hit their record for launches last year. i believe it was 109. i used to work down there, and starlinks were going up every week or so.

@sundogplanets So what are your proposed solutions and alternatives? Are you lucky enough to live in an area without light pollution? (regardless of satellites)

@sundogplanets correct me if I’m wrong, but isn’t this https://arxiv.org/pdf/2512.09643 kind of saying that we have at most 11 years (another solar maximum cycle) to basically have 100% probability of a Kessler syndrome more or less locking us from accessing LEO (at least with humans aboard) … and screwing up astronoy for years AND dumping bunch of interesting stuff into the upper layers of atmosphere? If yes - Why The F”&£ we are still allowing any mega-constellations and not downing the ones in orbit?

Here is thought experiment, which might make you incredibly depressed if being any more depressed in this day and age as possible: these satellites have a definite lifetime, and there is some expectation that some of them will become damaged and fall from orbit.
Injection of satellites means a consequential and maybe exponential death rates. That’s just basic demographics.

@sundogplanets I've just read that they are aiming for at least 12K (potentially 34K) satellites, with an average lifetime of 5-7 years.
Sorry if this question has been answered elsewhere already, but... is there any information about what 2,000 downed satellites each year will do to our atmosphere, exactly?

@sundogplanets I saw a really bright red shooting star trailing sparks two nights ago when I went out to look for auroras, and wondered if it were a dissolving satellite
it was traveling south to north in the sky east of my house in coastal Oregon

I can only manage a day in a city... and I used to live in London! (I loved it.) Now, give me nature and the countryside, any day 👍👍👍

I've heard 40,000.

So soon?
Aw, man, I really wanted the Tough Guy to be the one that had to call for help (and he would have, the tough guys always fail pretty quick), rather than his son. That would have been amazing television and might have fixed him so he could have a decent relationship with his son.

Definisci #nimby. E comunque massima stima per #AliceRohrwacher che settimana scorsa era a Berlino per gli EFA e che ora si sta sobbarcando un faticosissimo viaggio di ritorno su una carrozza a cavallo pur di non deturpare il territorio con sgradevoli impianti energetici

That's right, rinse the limpet in the dirty creek water before you eat it.

That said, Brooke does seem to know her way around the woods. A bit of an overreaction to a wolf being nearby, but she didn't do anything foolish in response.
Seeing that we have at least one notably weak link in most of these teams, I think this is going to be a short season.

Now she's talking to the eagles instead of making a signal fire. I don't speak eagle, but I assume she was telling them to find her husband and lead him to her. Good plan, Brooke.

Josh: "Never thought I'd be the guy to tap out on the first day."
Don't worry, Josh, I thought you would be.
