Good evening Mark and fellow travelers. Grokking an article on fascism while I listen.

A track I heard on Tom Dash's show that might fit on here sometime: Landline by King Tuff, in which it is encouraged to use that form of telecommunications to make contact

I watched the Nova episode on Artemis II, turns out the dark side of the moon is really quite dark...also they could have exploded many times.
:
a positive event because it had nothing to do with any of our trouble down here
(and the expense if it was nothing compared to defense spending)

May Elon crash into them on his way to Mars

It will be like peering out, through a net. And you're in it.

I just can’t take this. The UN or some other agency needs to regulate this.

Hello, Mark. Will we also be dumping on The Georgia Satellites tonight?
:
Yes. Great topic!!

Yes. Definitely needs an international response - astronomers worldwide are speaking out - but so far not much has happened.

Thanks

Having seen it, I understand why people were calling to report UFOs, it is very bizarre looking
:
I’ve seen a similar nile satellite spinning across the night sky over the Adirondacks, and then come back around again - not sure if it was the ISS or what — this was 1988, before all the clutter.
:
“a single satellite” my autocorrect is wack
♥
:
STARLINK'S initial agenda, i.e phase one, tops out at approx. 42,000.
♥
:
See link to Jonathan McDowell's page elsewhere on the playlist for the count as of April 6: over 10,000 Starlinks active in low earth orbit.
♥
:
It was 4 years back when my gf and I saw one of those satellite lights. For a short time it was magical, we were seeing a UFO. something beyond our knowledge. Then we looked it up and it was Elon Fucking Musk. The level of deflated disappointment was brutal.

Elon's glib response, when posed with the immanent crash of some of his space junk a while back, was something like, heh heh, yeah it does come with a certain amount of entertainment.
:
Did anyone hear about the company or companies who have applied to the FCC to use some special shields or satellities in the sky to create a 24-hour light stream and beam it down, potentially, over large swaths of land….?
:
Sister and I play a game to annoy whoever we’re with where we very competitively try to spot the most airplanes. Increased satellites over the years have complicated the game

I've read such things. Solar mirroring concepts, and also the reverse, engineered shadowing of the Earth. Climate control *(*more engineering is always the answer), and no doubt a weaponry component
:
wouldn’t it be fantastic if one fell on Elon?

StringOFperils @6:21
It makes me sick to think of commercial enterprises being able to deploy these
♥
:
Simple really, more satellites, more ability to take on subscriptions. Each satellite can only support so many subscribers. Just like the cellular phone system. It's no different. More density requires more radios.

:
Space Junk! I think compaines are starting up to handle it!
♥
:
It isn't hysteria to worry about this issue. I am very skeptical that that ultimate purpose of STARLINK is super-fast broadband. The dedication of the engineering, and the concentrated expense that outstrips everything on Earth speaks to me of something more sublime. Universal control of all Earth systems, nanny robots (they're coming), medical operating facilities, weapons systems, communications, public utilities,.....it's way too much power vested in one thing. A thing whose true purpose and potential remain unseen. Not really the issue being discussed but worth your concern

On the other hand, there's the idea of building a giant space rope at the equator and extending it out to the area of geosynchronous orbit.

StringOFperils @6:29
interesting. Somehow Musk did something with them in a way that disfavored Ukraine (and advantaged Russia) at one point

Reagan’s Star Wars to today

STARLINK, in addition to all the other stacked orbitng projects up there, according to Earth's leading astronomical scientists, will make ALL Earth-based astronomy impossible, due to light interference. It'll be history.

Hilarious listening to this parked behind a cybertruck with a starlink Roam antenna on its rear end . They’re all in

Long ago, I wrote a poem about people trapped on a planet being overtaken by extreme weather. They had the technology to leave the planet, but they had to gamble that they'd be able to break though the sea of debris covering the skies to escape.

Is this a replay of a previous episode?

I think, at best, it will be three or so years before we can expect any kind of environment protection to help even if the designation is changed.

There was legistlation passed by Biden to develop more broadband access and make it more affordable and it started with additional funding every year and went until 2024 when Concgress (republican led) stopped funding it. I just looked it up “Affordable Connectiviity Program"
