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.

@sundogplanets At this point I'm quite sure they're deliberately trying to cause a Kessler syndrome, so we could never escape the hell billionaires are going to lay upon us.

@sundogplanets oh this surely won't render the planet's orbit unusable for generations, no way.
But also, are you surprised one bit? This is the company that sent a car in space for the lolz -
"Launching a constellation of a million satellites that operate as orbital data centers is a first step toward becoming a Kardashev II-level situation"

@sundogplanets We aren’t even a Level 1 civilization. Also, this shows their complete lack of understanding of what that scale actually means.

@sundogplanets I'm sure nothing could possibly go wrong with that. Completely risk free with no drawbacks whatsoever.

The radio astronomer Nikolai Kardashev developed a scale describing hypothetical aliens by the amount of energy they used as a guide for what SETI searches could and could not find.
A "Kardashev II" level would involve using the entire energy output of the Sun by dismantling planets and turning them into solar panels.
Which has no resemblance to this particular bit of vaporware.
@michael_w_busch @sundogplanets Trust techbros not only to envision littering on a cosmic scale, but also to equate it with a theoretical hallmark of a hyperadvanced civilization.

@GhostOnTheHalfShell@masto.ai @sundogplanets@mastodon.social Hint: Ask yourself why datacenters use massive bundles of wired or fiber connections internally rather than WiFi.
-
@GhostOnTheHalfShell @sundogplanets Plus the big question of how you cool a GPU datacenter surrounded by the vacuum of space.
But then, you probably don't really need to know anything about datacenters to realize that moving them into space is just going to make every aspect of them more difficult and expensive...
@ids1024 @GhostOnTheHalfShell @sundogplanets Exactly. The cooling issue alone should rule out space for data centres.
-
@utf_7 @troed @sundogplanets, my thoughts are on the biggest resource consumption of a datacenter: Cooling and Energy, which is very taxing right now on our existing capabilities.
We'd shift from constant CO2 emitting energy consumption on earth to solar in space and move away from using fresh water for cooling, which is becoming more and more scarce.
@ppulfer @utf_7 @troed @sundogplanets Yeah, Elon might get away with ignoring laws here on Earth but you can’t do that with the laws of physics. Space is not full of magical infinite solar energy or cooling.
This is just a grift to keep the investment for his companies flowing in.

@mycotropic @sundogplanets and orbital days centers are a horrible idea
@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

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.
Musk distracts Tesla investors with fantastical Optimus hype
: To what end? Who knows? Tesla isn't even using them in its own factories yet

@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.
