@ids1024 @GhostOnTheHalfShell @sundogplanets Exactly. The cooling issue alone should rule out space for data centres.

[davidbcohen@twit.social]

@ppulfer @utf_7 @troed @sundogplanets Yeah, Elon might get away with ignoring laws here on Earth but you can’t do that with the laws of physics. Space is not full of magical infinite solar energy or cooling.

This is just a grift to keep the investment for his companies flowing in.

@oblomov @mycotropic @sundogplanets this is clearly just advertising BS. In addition to being a generally bad idea, 500-1000 km is well into the Van Allen belts, so the radiation makes this even more stupid

@sundogplanets other countries will have to shoot them fown to get into space

@sundogplanets This is completely impossible to make work. Sounds more like a stock pump scam.

@sundogplanets What’s a Kardeshian II-level situation?

[the_wub@mastodon.social]

@sundogplanets "Pump and dump" is the natural state of being for homo-muskiens.

He recently said that Tesla will soon be building a million humanoid robots a year.

It's the same game every time.

@sundogplanets @robpike lol data centers in space what a publicity stunt. Makes absolutely zero material sense.

[fuzzyfuzzyfungus@cyberplace.social]

@sundogplanets Isn't it obvious that speedrunning Kessler syndrome to no obvious benefit is how you become a multiplanetary species?

It's just science or something.

[the_wub@mastodon.social]

@sundogplanets Is there enough rocket fuel on earth for a million rocket launches?

What about the logistics?

Say you manage to find 100 suitable rocket launch sites and have a successful launch a week from each site.

Assuming a 100% successful launch rate and that all of the satellites end up in the right orbit first time that's still 10,000 weeks before all of the satellites are in place.

So 192 years?

Are my calculations correct?

[chancerubbage@mastodon.social]

@SecondUniverse @sundogplanets @Barbramon1

Of course there is. I did math on the existing numbers months back (there are so many I expected them to be smaller) to determine ideally how much land area each existing then could cover for internet signal.

It’s stupefying even if any one trusted Musk as a carrier. I certainly don’t.

@sundogplanets The only relevant sci-fi: "we don't know who struck first, but we know it was us who darkened the sky."

[wikitect@mas.to]

@sundogplanets this is like the archetypal gold rush land grab. No thought or card for the consequences on others eg astronomy, debris impact etc. Just selfish short term monetary gain. The polluter should pay!

@sundogplanets

So, this has all the hallmarks of a 'Musk's name just came up in an Epstein email, begging for a wild party invite to the island’ distractor vibe to it.

You can make 1 million chocolate bars, just like that. I'm pretty sure that the sourcing for parts for satellites is less do-able.

Still. Eyes on.

[retech@defcon.social]

@sundogplanets The US gov't, owned by the broligarchs, won't approve and even fund one of their Epstien friend's projects? Seriously, that's a foolish question. Of Course they'll approve it, give him tax money for it, tell the world to fuck off, and continue with impunity.
