Everybody has to coordinate with Starlink because SPACEX CONTROLS ORBIT.

Everybody has to coordinate with Starlink because SPACEX CONTROLS ORBIT. That's against the Outer Space Treaty.
Your engineering challenge, SpaceX, is to provide your services with fewer satellites. Not yell at everyone else for having satellites too.
@sundogplanets It's 2026 so I think we've got plenty of evidence that no one is going to stop this jackass with the "rule of law" or "public shaming". That hypothesis is well and truly invalidated.
So what's next? Blowing up SpaceX facilities, or Musk's jets, using drones?

@sundogplanets if a collision does happen that causes Kessler syndrome and assuming shrapnel that can't be tracked is created, is there some minimum amount of time that all* the subsequent space trash will fall out of LEO. Is there a significant risk that it goes to higher orbit?
* Or enough that normal probability rules for safety apply

@sundogplanets
Soon, if not already, they will demand that other satellites, including geo-stationary ones, not interfere with Starlink transmission/spectrum. After all, the FCC is in their pocket. -

Elon is a reptilian ET and he’s using his satellites to rig elections.

@sundogplanets I hate space x.

SpaceX just got approved for 15,000 more direct-to-cell satellites: https://www.fcc.gov/document/spacex-approved-ngso-mss-system-direct-device-services
Giant, bright, radio-loud. Fuck. I just saw SO MANY SATELLITES in my sky. Guess there will be more. And then lots of debris.

What are these metals doing to our upper atmosphere after de-orbit? At one point, we'd have insisted on studying this extensively before launching tens of thousands of satellites that will eventually come back down ... now, when you're a trillionaire, they just let you do it.

@boelder The FCC officially decided that environmental regulations don't apply to them (after not following them anyway for decades) a few days ago https://docs.fcc.gov/public/attachments/DOC-425491A1.pdf

It is the -actual- environment. Put it on the list of things we'll have to address in Jan 2027.

But DON'T WORRY EVERYONE, the FCC will almost certainly approve SpaceX's one million satellite filing soon, so this will seem like nothing!

Oof. My dark sarcasm levels have shot through the roof and entered orbit. Time to sign off for the night.

The situation is also through the roof. We're with you. We're glad someone is paying attention. -

@sundogplanets that line of the tune from Firefly/Serenity regularly comes to mind -
'Take my love, take my land
Take me where I cannot stand
I don't care, I'm still free
You can't take the sky from me...'Turns out they can, in fact, take the sky from me.
