"Le attività spaziali dovrebbero dare la priorità al beneficio del maggior numero di persone possibile anziché servire settori industriali ristretti e ad alto consumo di energia. Il Richiedente si pone come un mediatore di "benefici sociali", ma non c'è alcun mandato pubblico per cui il calcolo IA su larga scala debba avere la precedenza sulla conservazione dell'ambiente orbitale o l'integrità del cielo notturno"

"Space activities should prioritize the benefit of the greatest number of people rather than serving narrow, energy-intensive industrial sectors. The Applicant positions itself as a facilitator of “societal benefit”, yet there is no public mandate that high-scale AI processing should take precedence over the preservation of the orbital environment or the integrity of the night sky"

Well, if #KesslerSyndrome hasn't happened yet, this *might* be the trigger.

'God of chaos' asteroid will pass close to Earth in 3 years, NASA says

Story by Emily Mae Czachor, April 15, 2026

"An asteroid the size of three football fields will pass near Earth in three years, giving scientists a rare chance to study a colossal space rock from close range.

"Named #Apophis — after the ancient Egyptian deity known as the 'god of chaos' — the asteroid is expected to zoom past the planet on April 13, 2029, according to NASA. It will come within about 20,000 miles of Earth's surface, which is closer than many orbiting satellites, the agency said. The highest satellites typically orbit around 22,000 miles above the equator."

"Segna un passaggio verso un atteggiamento per cui agenti commerciali si pongono come arbitri di ciò che è meglio per tutta l'umanità. Non c'è stato alcun mandato significativo dall'opinione pubblica globale per cui l'elaborazione IA ad alta potenza debba avere la precedenza sulla conservazione del bene comune orbitale o la protezione dell'atmosfera"

"It marks a shift toward a stance in which commercial actors bill themselves as arbiters of what is best for all of humanity. There has been no meaningful mandate from the global public that high-power AI processing should take precedence over the preservation of the orbital commons or protection of the atmosphere."

Ooooh @sundogplanets is in @thenarwhal with https://thenarwhal.ca/opinion-spacex-satellites-night-sky/ and it is incandescent with more power than a billion suns (at galactic distances) - this is the kind of collaboration the world needs! No holds barred:

SpaceX suggests that launching data centres into orbit is better for the environment. This is only true if you ignore all the consequences of satellite launch, orbital operations and re-entry.

and

One corporation based in one country should not be allowed to ruin orbit, the night sky and the atmosphere for everyone else in the world.

there's a reason Anna Maria Tremonti (famous Canadian journalist) said

As someone who has spent a career dedicated to the public’s right to know, I am cautious where I place my trust. The Narwhal has earned it.
