    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.

    @sundogplanets this is the peak of irresponsibility you might think, until you wake up next morning.

      @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 @troed @sundogplanets use solar on earth and don't use fresh water but a liquid cooling circuit and on the roof top a liquid/air heat exchanger?

        @Pepijn @sundogplanets Curiously enough, a million orbital data centers would in fact get us to approximately Kardashev level 1.00000000000001.

            @utf_7 @troed @sundogplanets, I agree, that would be a great option as well and is supposedly our current policy. Reality is different though: Datacenters and municipals are signing NDA's, so that the public never really know what the impact on current population. At least in space they would have no other option.

              @sundogplanets Perhaps it's time to put that information into the CRASH clock. Consider sending the FCC a summary.

              If the critical delay for orbital corrections drops enough, perhaps even below even that associated with standard operations, then there's a really good argument to deny the application.

                So, when they all collide and fuck up all access to earth orbit for decades, where on the Kardashev scale will we be?

                          Typical SpaceX Starlink communications satellites are roughly the size of a table or small car, weighing between 570 lbs (260 kg) for earlier models and up to 1,630+ lbs (740+ kg) for newer "V2 Mini" versions. They measure approximately 2.8 to 3.2 meters long, 1.4 to 1.6 meters wide, and are thin, designed for flat-packing in Falcon 9 rockets.

                              Takeaways: "Orbital data centers" for "accelerating demand for AI" (snicker). "This filing seems quite rushed"..."the details were left vague"

                              Bottom line: it's an investor scam. The people who wasted billions on AI R&D are looking for the "greater fool" to unload the investments onto, and need a fantasy project to convince people they can still get in on the ground floor of something. Once the IPO is through collecting gullible people's cash, their mission is accomplished.

                                The point is that it's _really difficult_ to remove heat in space. Those datacenters will need to run at _much_ slower speeds than datacenters on Earth.

                                    Does anyone have estimates how much #Starlink stock might be earmarked for #Trump loyalists?

                                      Surely the FCC won't rubber-stamp-approve this one??... ONE MILLION STARLINKS FUUUUCCCKKKKKK

                                        "Launching a constellation of a million satellites that operate as orbital data centers is a first step toward becoming a Kardashev II-level situation"

                                        THIS IS IN AN FCC FILING NOT A SCIENCE FICTION NOVEL WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK I'M DEAD

                                        @sundogplanets ... what the fuck does that even mean? I know I could search for it, but I'm not sure I want that in my search history.
