Reflect Orbital wants to destroy the night sky to deliver "sunlight as a service". SpaceX wants to destroy Low Earth Orbit to launch one million "AI datacentres"
The only way to formally protest these two ideas is to file a comment with the US FCC, which is horribly complicated, but the American Astronomical Society has detailed instructions posted here: https://aas.org/posts/advocacy/2026/02/how-submit-comments-satellite-applications-fcc
Comments due March 6 for SpaceX and March 9 for Reflect Orbital. Write! Write! Write!
@sundogplanets I can't believe this is actually fucking real.

@sundogplanets can we use a template or create an online petition to bring awareness to this?

@taniacreates DarkSky is working on a template, I'll share their instructions once it's up

@sundogplanets is it open to foreigners? I don't see that they are asking for an address?

@sundogplanets How is it that U.S. companies get to destroy space for the entire Earth?
@Nonya_Bidniss @sundogplanets I think I posted something before with china shooting these things down and people cheering, like an american movie, but china is the one that save the day.

@sundogplanets
Building a giant slingshot do you think can work? -
@Nonya_Bidniss @sundogplanets No one is stopping us. (please change that)
@Epic_Null @Nonya_Bidniss @sundogplanets Exactly this.
Epstein kiddie-fuckers get away with it because no one stops them.
Space-destroying tech-bros get away with it because no one stops them.
Why is that?

At first I had read the company's name as Rectal Orbit.

@sundogplanets that sounds like something that would’ve sounded so far-fetched it’s cartoonish if it was a thing in a scifi story a few years ago. It sounds like something that would still be if it appeared in a scifi story today. I hate this timeline. Dystopian media should not be an instruction manual.
@enby_of_the_apocalypse @sundogplanets yeah
A giant mirror for “sunlight as a service” is one of those things that sounds great if you’re an executive who likes science fiction and has been hot boxing Silicon Valley narratives for the last twenty years.
But to anyone who reads science fiction and actually gets the underlying themes rather than just “cool tech bro”, the only way I can describe this is a horrifying plan straight out of an Austin Powers movie.

@enby_of_the_apocalypse @sundogplanets in fact, oh gods, this bears great similarity to “Who Shot Mr Burns” from the Simpsons.
That show was meant to be a joke, people! A joke!

@sundogplanets Maybe @georgetakei is also interested in our night sky and could help to spread this important information?

No.
Ormai dovrebbe essere chiaro a tutti.
Fa più danni un imbecille con belle intenzioni, ma nessun progetto per realizzarle, che un disonesto che porta a casa progetti e ci fa la cresta.
In certi casi il ladrocinio è un "bonus risultato"
Odio parlare così, ma la realtà ITA è questa.Anzi no... per dirla tutta ci troviamo degli imbecilli che rubano.
