✰ Alice D. ✰the easiest way to become radicalized about astronomy is to open a stargazing app and to make it highlight Starlink satellites
i hate elon musk
"but what about rural internet access?!"
1. SpaceX/Starlink has no path to profitability
2. it will cost over $20-30b to maintain the network - mostly from government subsidies that go directly into Elon's pocket
3. that money could have been used to put down actual fibre lines for WiMAX installations which would be actually-reliable and not pollute the night sky
4. do you really want a far-right transphobe controlling internet access for everywhere that isn't a major city?
vibhor 🍑 🏳️🌈@AmyZenunim good that in india the govt is putting actual lines for rural internet , instead of depending on a billionaire !
