When that nightmare budget bill is pushed through next week and they replace EV credits with coal mine subsidies, Tesla sales will crater in US too

If only we could solve starlink pollution as easily but privatize the profits, socialize the costs

What a crazy map. Kind of insane that one company was permitted to launch so many.

The map is not to scale, there is gigantically more space satellites between than the map implies.

It’s a good demonstration of how quickly things can go when you don’t have to clear lightyears of red tape and fend off constant obstructionism from NIMBYs and industry incumbents.

We could probably lay fiber at almost the same speed if we could get those factors out of the way, but reality is not that kind and so any large scale terrestrial project like that is a long, drawn-out, expensive nightmare.
