Oh please stop that imbecile from doing more ecological and ideological damage. You have my full support
but, we have to ask ourselves, why *canadian* prairies? what's his endgame here?
@Paulatics @sundogplanets
I suspect exactly zero of these silly "AI data centre" satellites will ever be launched.
Data centres are famously hungry for power and cooling. Satellites are famously difficult to run power supplies out to, and exist in a near total vacuum so there is a shortage of stuff to radiate heat out to. The whole scheme makes no sense at all unless seen as solely a scam to get gullible investors to put money into SpaceX.
2023 study showed that as much as 10% of high atmosphere metal compounds were *already* pollution from space technology… and the challenge in that is that unlike other ozone deleters these molecules don’t get consumed, but instead the same molecule can catalyze an ozone destroying reaction again and again, while remaining in the atmosphere for decades.

As this pollution will take a few decades to descend to the ozone layer the problem is urgent, because by the time we start to observe significant ozone depletion any solutions or responses will take *more* decades to have any effect, and that’s even assuming that mitigation is possible. The only sensible solution is to stop putting this junk up over our heads in the first place.
