As my colleague pointed out, that's more than the current launch rate for the world (245 launches so far this year according to https://orbitalradar.com/satellite-launch-log), from a single site that was sold to the public as a testing and development site.
@sundogplanets where are we, on the "how fucked are we" scale?

Musk needs this scale of launch capacity if he is to continue to profit from both sides of a war.
He & his investors take payoffs from both Russia & Trump's oligarchs.
On a whim, Musk can prolong any war just by squeezing Starlink bandwidth at the behest of the highest bidder.

@sundogplanets That will be a hugh amout of trash in space(it works like a decade and then off), around our planet. Redicilous that it is allowed. Who will clean up all trash around our planet? (EU is busy with cleaning system)

And if you have it available to you, go watch Shifting Baselines! It's the most beautiful way to learn about how terrible SpaceX is...
(And yeah, I'll email the all-Canadian filmmaker team again today and try to find out if there's a way to watch it inside Canada yet)
@sundogplanets I just checked on Kanopy here in Aotearoa New Zealand and it's available here. I'm based in Wellington. Other public libraries here may also make it available.

Other people worried about how to prevent the supervillain. Musk wants to BE the super villain

@sundogplanets Musk is filling our skies with his spy satellites. Use Apple Night Sky and check out how many Starlink satellites are already littering our planet. It’s just trash used for his personal gain. I say we blow them out of orbit forever then put everyone in jail. This is all so stupid.

@FediThing @sundogplanets Not for anyone with more money than brains. The eagerness with which they burn vast amounts of money is quite the contrast with the billionaires' forced austerity upon the rest of us.
He might intend to build another launchpad.

Has anybody remarked that this is very much a ploy to hog all launch capacity?
It’s sort of like what’s happened with memory storage space and GPUs
The AI companies are busy buying up chips they can’t even use. It’s a strategy to starve competitors of resources as much as a fomo dynamic

Orbital debris and the market for satellites
"…Debris follows an accumulation process…we consider two main sources: #launches and collisions. Different from any other source of pollution, the dynamics of orbital debris includes a self-propagating mechanism, whereby pollution generates additional pollution…debris collides not only with satellites but also with other pieces of debris, producing additional debris. The law of motion of debris is given by…"
