One company destroying the night sky for all
Are Satellites still visible after they pass into earth’s shadow?
Oh great. Kessler Syndrome here we come.
They’re going to be in sun-synchronous orbit. That means they will always be flying over where it is dawn/dusk. The data center sats will not be visible at night at all, no matter how many SpaceX is actually able to deploy.
Luckily this will never happen because space based data farms is one of the stupidest ideas ever conceived and will never happen unless something substantially changes in the way these models are trained or physics decides to take a couple years off.
Awesome, I love satellites.
Kessler syndrome here we come…..
This is the worst news I’ve seen in a while. Maaan, fuck Elon
Space junk. Made this point years ago but spaceX fan boys cannot take criticism, no matter how correct.
“Obstruct” not “destroy “. The hyperbole is strong with this one.
good thing this will never happen cause space data centers are the dumbest idea just made up to seem more sci-fi and siphon more money out of investors
Why aren’t the mods deleting blatant lies like this?
No, Starlink are literally not visible to the naked eye even under the best conditions.
So what? Thats seriously only an academics problem. Most people would be happy with the service it provides over seeing… less stars? Come on.
Nobody really needs these, why put up so many?
I hate this timeline and I want off
