You can't have effective data centres in space though!
https://taranis.ie/datacenters-in-space-are-a-terrible-horrible-no-good-idea/@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!

@sundogplanets @adambecker.bsky.social I have three non-techbro mentality/religion reasons for this:
1) Distract from Tesla's poor earnings
2) Distract from the Epstein files
3) Bezos says he's going to launch zillions of data center satellites so Musk just wants to nab scamee money for it firstBut yeah, also Musk is a moron.
@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 @sundogplanets @adambecker.bsky.social The GPS satellites are in Medium Earth Orbit, far above LEO satellites.
@EricFielding @sundogplanets @adambecker.bsky.social yes, but they need to replaced every 10-15 years.

That…isn’t what that means.

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

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

@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.

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

What the actual fuck. It's not April Fools Day, right? This is real?! Fuck you, SpaceX. Maybe this will help regulators realize how fucking shortsighted companies' plans in orbit are?
Surely the FCC won't rubber-stamp-approve this one??... ONE MILLION STARLINKS FUUUUCCCKKKKKK

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

@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. “
