    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

    SpaceX Eyes 1 Million Satellites for Orbital Data Center Push

    In a late Friday FCC filing, the company mentions deploying a staggering 'one million satellites' in orbits ranging from 500 kilometers to 2,000km.

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

              So here is thought experiment. Design an “Orbital data center” satellite. Solve all of the problems- solar power, heat rejection, telecom to the customers, radiation design life, launch, end of life disposal, maneuvering and attitude control. Now take that satellite and stick it in the Mojave dessert. Maybe you need more solar power due to atmospheric attenuation and longer “eclipses” (night), and you need protection from the elements, but otherwise everything I listed above can be eliminated or greatly simplified. And, if it breaks or you have made a design error, you can fix it. Why would you ever launch one of these?

                  @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.

                      @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.
