Sounds like a wild party with children to have sex with – Elon
Why should pollution be limited to Earth?
If this gets accepted, all future LEO missions, no matter telecoms, navigation, earth observation, are doomed
Should be a blanket NO to all these satellites they and others want to launch.
One meter , that should be ok size
When we Kessler Syndrome finally comes to pass, we all know who is to blame.
Why am i forced to see this Nazi on my feed daily?
We need to put a stop to space pollution before a catastrophe denies humanity access to space.
The impact would be catastrophic.
One man is the benefactor, while the entirety of humanity would pay the price.
More AI data enter satellite nonsense
Pretty soon we will be finding plastic bottles on the moon
Maybe it’s time for a world coalition on space stuff?
It must be a pain being a billionaire 😐
Kessler Syndrome heeeeeeere we come!!!
This planet is going to need an extinction event to rid itself of its cancer.
With that many satellites he can surely create night sky ads no one can outrun. The horror… the horror
Well this isn’t absolutely some Bond villain nonsense now is it?
can we like… not, please?
This sounds like it’s a distraction from other non-space related news.
Yeah, let’s give the pedo more money and control of space and communications.
[“Elon Musk says Tesla will stop producing its S and X models as it shifts to making robots”](https://www.nbcnews.com/business/autos/elon-musk-says-tesla-will-stop-producing-s-x-models-shifts-making-robo-rcna256409)
If anyone doesn’t think this story has anything to do with his desire to launch 1m SpaceX satellites…
This is literally Skynet shit.
“Whoops , better start doing something with all of this money, I guess”
The application is nearly free. The free media publicity on the claim and ongoing perception of them being technologically cutting-edge: worth millions. Reality is far, far less.
In the future you’ll be able to play real life asteroids with orbital drones. Just zapping dead internet satellites into dust.
Ahh yes musks 1000 satellites together making A ring of satellites. The physical electronic digital emulator . More commonly known as the pedo ring. With backing for his pedo project. from his friend trump
Give Spacex the sole contract to launch Musk into the sun. It’s win win for everyone.
You’ll need more than that to distract form your child raping Elon
It’s a distraction to gin up interest from the investment community into the SpaceX IPO now that Starlink may not become the juggernaut everyone thought it would be in coming years.
I don’t think this is the biggest Elon news right now
the man who wants humanity to go to mars is basically building a cage around earth preventing that. make it make sense.
I do not approve. In fact I think he should remove some of the ones he already has.
…and of course it will get rubberstamped by the government, because of course it will.

The article seems to use a lowercase m as the symbol for a million. Is that some actual convention?
