How is this man the guy who owns the most important, bleeding edge technology company in the world.
We need SpaceX to succeed but do we really want to give this dumbass that amount of power? Oof
Do we need SpaceX to succeed? I'd rather they get dissolved and everything given to NASA. If I could have my fantasy world fulfilled, anyway.
Yep, get private companies the fuck out of space.
I bet we figure out that launching all these satellites into orbit was premature and we've created a new irreversible disaster that private companies knew about but hide from us since they also control social media now
In the case of Starlink satellites they're in a low orbit, and will naturally de-orbit after about 5 years, so they won't really be a big space problem in the future.
Astronomers are complaining about light pollution from them
To be honest I love the idea of the government handling space exploration but (saying this as someone who works directly for a government body) the government is just too slow and ineffective to get space exploration online in the timeframe needed for it to generate new technologies that would help the climate crisis.
It's mostly because of funding and ineffective bureaucracy not lack of talent or capable workers, but it's a problem nonetheless.
In a better world...
So streamline it and fund it, don't farm it out.
I believe the star link internet is very useful for people living in rural areas or war zones like Ukraine. I honestly don’t about the rest of it.
