Surprised advertisers aren’t projecting off of clouds already.

Isn’t that not a problem since the satellites are in a decaying orbit?

Or is there risk that the orbits will not decay if there are collisions?

There’s a solution to all that…

Didn’t the -A refit switch the beams out for pulse phasers?

Here are the numbers as of March 2026.

Yes, but ‘Please Like Me’ Musk doesn’t care about any of that.

I mean becomes inevitable as we creep towards being more space faring. Elon is just a piece of shit and doing it first.

Ugh. I hate billionaires.

They are already destroying standards on geo-security. Blocking their 153.0.0.0/8 and sorting out what’s legit has been a fucking nightmare. Starlink’s outgoing security is less than shit, it’s non-existent.

Can you expand on what you mean? What level of security do other ISPs provide that Starlink does not?
