saveanon12Reddit censors story on Starlink losing over 300 satellites after it jumps to #2 overall for r/worldnews
damn, its so strange that a rich guy was able to throw thousands of satellites into space, in a manner that completely changes humanity’s relationship to the cosmos, without any meaningful form of public debate or discussion.
even more strange when you consider that the owner of the company is one of the most talked about people on the planet. i wonder how he’s able to keep getting away with it.

They submitted everything required to the relevant government agencies for approval. Whether these organizations considered any public comments, or ignored them, is a different matter unfortunately.
Starlink also is not the first or only company to get approval for a massive LEO satellite network with thousands of units in orbit. Just some of the 1000+ satellite constellations in the works currently: OneWeb (UK), Amazon’s Project Kuiper (US), Astra (US), Lynk Global (US), Boeing V-band (US), Telesat Lightspeed (Canada), Spin Launch (UK), Globalstar (Germany), Hughes HVNET (US), Hanwha (South Korea), Guangwang (China), and Galaxy Space Yinhe (China). Starlink is just the one you hear about most because of who the owner is.
Oh and if you’re worried about the number of satellites in these mega constellations… you probably shouldn’t look up E-SPACE… they have registered over 400,000+ in multiple constellations (Semaphore-C and Cinnamon-217/Cinnamon-937).
cedarmesaIm fascinated that an army of musk defenders deploys every time this topic comes up. All with the same talking points. Same thing happens when you mention monsanto, fracking, and nuclear power.

That doesn’t seem to be the case. Can you respond to the actual post?
For what its worth, I can see their comment history and it doesn’t appear to be deleted or entirely in this thread either.

While you’re not wrong about there being other constellations in the works, Starlink is the first to actually launch more than a (relative) few. Over 50% of satellites in orbit, total, belong to Starlink.
So while there are other projects planned or under construction, Starlink is the most visible by far.
it’s almost like all these different regulatory bodies you mentioned don’t serve the people, but instead the wealthy
