What the actual fuck.

@sundogplanets somebody stop this nonsense. This will irreversibly deprive our species of land astronomy and the chance of ever leaving this planet.

Maybe the reason why there aren't any aliens is because they all have Elons.

@isaackuo @sundogplanets @adambecker.bsky.social@bsky.brid.gy

Less of a moron if he's just going for the money grab, and could not care less about the planet. Which is the version of Musk that my brain envisions.

[ericfielding@mastodon.social]

@BenjaminKlein @sundogplanets @adambecker.bsky.social The GPS satellites are in Medium Earth Orbit, far above LEO satellites.

@sundogplanets There must be something else going on. This cannot be what it seems.

Anyone with a modicum of experience knows the arguments in the FCC filing are garbage; beyond the enormous launch costs, space-grade solar is far more expensive than on the ground, and cooling is ghastly hard because you're in a vacuum.

Buzzword-based value pump for the merger? Jurisdiction shopping? Mental illness?

@AlisonW There’s a reason those of us who worry about on-board processing spend so much time getting our code super stripped down and do all the heavy lifting on ground systems. Sheesh!

@isaackuo @sundogplanets @adambecker.bsky.social

A subhuman moron. The only people who are dumber than him are all of those who believed him, bought his crap or invested in him. He is of the exact same ilk as Trump. A big mouth and zero substance.

America has a thing for big mouths. The Mar a Largo lips 👄 are a nod to that.

[benjaminklein@mastodon.nu]

@EricFielding @sundogplanets @adambecker.bsky.social yes, but they need to replaced every 10-15 years.

@sundogplanets

That…isn’t what that means.

@sundogplanets JFC these people know nothing about physics, do they.

@sundogplanets

Yeah I thought this was related to Kessler Syndrome as well... TIL

[ericfielding@mastodon.social]

@BenjaminKlein @sundogplanets @adambecker.bsky.social Yes, the MEO GPS satellites, GEO satellites, anything going to the Moon or Mars, etc. have to pass through LEO. Maybe Elon should think about that.

[503bartley@pdx.social]

@sundogplanets Not necessarily. Keith Lofstrom's original http://server-sky.com/ design? No problem.

@sundogplanets

I'm convinced they want to blot out the stars entirely

[ericfielding@mastodon.social]

@sundogplanets China filed a request with the ITU for frequency allocations for 200,000 satellites. Elon said “ I’ll see your 200,000 and raise to 1,000,000 satellites. “

@jered @sundogplanets they know they'll be filthy rich by the time anyone comes at them with receipts so why not tell humongous lies? see also, scam altman's insane dyson sphere idea

[drs1969@mstdn.social]

@AlisonW @sundogplanets I think the primary use use case for a ‘Server in Space’ is for Tax Avoidance. Think Cayman Islands, but in orbit. You probably don’t need much power cooling compute to stand up something that can be registered as an orbital tax haven for corporations to use.

[rocketdyke@mastodon.social]

@sundogplanets what a asshole fucking way to start the Kessler syndrome.

JFC.

"AI" needs to die.

[mrundkvist@archaeo.social]

@knud @sundogplanets
"AI" is going to be defunded soon when venture capital pulls out to cut its losses. Things will be very different when prompting an #LLM once costs $10.
