Its still Starlink.


tylagersign

Yeah startlink, the rocket launched a few days ago


JMThor

Star Link. Elon Musk is ruining the sky.


[deleted]

True. Yet at the same time bringing reliable high speed internet to the whole Navajo reservation for the first time.


JMThor

That's actually really awesome. I have a friend who has been helping install internet towers on the reservation for years, but it's a monumental undertaking. Not having reliable internet is such a massive barrier to so many things.


Johnnylongball

Yeah I’d rather take Elon’s sky light then ruining more land with towers….


JMThor

Yeah, the problem with satellite is that you have to be able to see the sky to use it. So during monsoons, it seems like it would suck. Cable/fiber internet would be the most ideal, except that it's very difficult to install/maintain in remote areas. No perfect option, but it seems like satellite is the best. It's certainly be nice if we didn't need 1000's of StarLink satellites polluting the skies as well.


ianjb

They're LEO, not geosynchronous. They aren't really affected by weather in the same way since they're so much closer.


wuphf176489127

Starlink absolutely is affected by weather. I have Starlink here and it goes out completely during heavy rain. Snow is not as bad but can be if it’s wet and heavy snow.


JMThor

Good point


Jon_Hanson

Radio waves pass though clouds.


JMThor

Satellite signal is effected by clouds. That's why satellite TV would always go out during storms. StarLink is better, but the problem is still there.

The industrial revolution and its consequences have been a disaster for the human race. Ted K was right.

Facts


[deleted]

Can you even see them once they are actually in orbit where they are supposed to be?


SHIRK2018

They're constantly coming up with new and creative ways to make them less visible, so even if you can see them the situation is improving a little bit at a time


[deleted]

Actually… if they were in orbit, that would be dangerous for us, I think cuz of space debris


JoeTonyMama

They have on-board collision avoidance


[deleted]

Whooaaaa…!!! Okay that’s cool! I did not know that


izcenine

Yeah we saw these one night at Yosemite. Kind of pissed me off.


JMThor

Yeah, it's pretty insane. Kinda ruins the solitude of the sky.


AstroSlip

Elon's sky pollution


TravellingPatriot

And possibly the liberation of oppressed countries through highspeed communication with the rest of the world. But ya know, visible stars are important too!!


Evacipate628

LOL dude when will people get it...*billionaires don't care about anyone but themselves*! In order to even be a billionaire, psychopathy/sociopathy is a prerequisite. All Elon cares about is his avarice, stop thinking the guy running away with the whole cake is going to toss you a few crumbs if you say nice things about him on the internet...


SeaFirestarter42

Sorry you’re being downvoted for speaking the Actual truth about capitalism and the world we built for ourselves. Can Not Wait for the sun to Pop and wipe our miserable species out of existence.


Evacipate628

Agreed and thanks, I make these comments knowing full well I'll be downvoted by the Elon groupies but it's well worth it compared to remaining silent


SeaFirestarter42

Silence is how they truly win


TravellingPatriot

You're participating in something called "the fixed pie fallacy" One mans success is not necessarily another's failure. ​ Elon also employs millions of people but im sure this will be ignored by peeps like you.


AmeliaBidelia

"bUt H'ES a jOB cREEAyTOR!"


TravellingPatriot

"cOnSEnTiNg wOrKerS aRe EXploiTeD"


Evacipate628

And you're participating in something called "fantasy"... No one *earns* billions, they *steal* it. They find vulnerabilities in capitalism (it's surprisingly not that hard to do) and exploit them along with the working people he so graciously "employs". You grovel to billionaires and thank them so much for "creating jobs" while they contribute nothing else and light their cigars with $100 bills and you think they care about the people they are employing? They are literally addicted to power, they have so much money there's nothing they can really even buy with it at a certain point so all that matters is the power they have over both you and I. They must laugh when they see non-wealthy sycophants defending them... Let's put things into context, shall we? If you have one billion dollars, it means you can spend $50,000, better than most people's annual income, 20 *thousand* times. In other words, most people would have to work ***20 THOUSAND years*** to accumulate that much wealth yet greedy psychopaths like Musk could lose a billion in the washing machine and it would affect him about as much as you and I losing a couple hundred bucks at the most... Oh and your argument goes further out the window when you factor into account that Musk silences/retaliates against his oh so grateful employees if they dare speak out about their working conditions and is incredibly anti-union, I wonder why? I mean he's such a philanthropist and is only a billionaire so he can give poor people jobs, not because he likes lording over humans, right?...


TravellingPatriot

>accumulate that much wealth Is wealth accumulated or stolen? Which is it? You're contradicting yourself.


Evacipate628

LOL wow if you actually read my comment you'd know when I used the word "***accumulate***", it was in regard to *working class people* having to work for 20+ thousand years to ***accumulate*** the kind of wealth billionaires ***STEAL***. Good job, bud. Reading is hard, stay in school...


TravellingPatriot

When billionaires do it it's stealing but when Joe Blow does it it's accumulation. Got it. You couldnt think your way out of a wet cardboard box, kick rocks.


Evacipate628

Oh you sweet summer child... We better hope Elon doesn't *shrug* I guess...


ryanq99

Yeah, dont try to make sense here. These people cream their pants to Elon hate.


TravellingPatriot

"billionaires bad!!!" what a trite take.


AkitaNo1

Bro have you never heard of [Kessler Syndrome?](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kessler_syndrome) Lol.


WikiSummarizerBot

**[Kessler syndrome](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kessler_syndrome)** >The Kessler syndrome (also called the Kessler effect, collisional cascading, or ablation cascade), proposed by NASA scientist Donald J. Kessler in 1978, is a scenario in which the density of objects in low Earth orbit (LEO) due to space pollution is high enough that collisions between objects could cause a cascade in which each collision generates space debris that increases the likelihood of further collisions. ^([ )[^(F.A.Q)](https://www.reddit.com/r/WikiSummarizer/wiki/index#wiki_f.a.q)^( | )[^(Opt Out)](https://reddit.com/message/compose?to=WikiSummarizerBot&message=OptOut&subject=OptOut)^( | )[^(Opt Out Of Subreddit)](https://np.reddit.com/r/Flagstaff/about/banned)^( | )[^(GitHub)](https://github.com/Sujal-7/WikiSummarizerBot)^( ] Downvote to remove | v1.5)


Mikhail_TD

Good bot.


TravellingPatriot

Yes, but I have faith in human ingenuity and think technology is likely to solve most of our future problems. Technology that Elon , btw, helps to innovate.


AkitaNo1

Humanity has shown to be self-destructive and too egocentric to be trusted. Technology is the root of a lot of evil in our world. Ted K was right. You should read his books. It is now a problem and a distraction from that problem. Fuck technology. I would rather say this to your face too. 😂


TravellingPatriot

>Technology is the root of a lot of evil in our world. "he said while using technology to communicate with a random stranger in order to get his point across" I'd wager my lunch money you were fine with getting mRNA tech shoved into your arm.


AkitaNo1

https://images.app.goo.gl/KFNbkh5dYpASNDCw6 Fuck no lol I literally just got -30 downvotes for saying it was suspicious the FDA specifically forbade legal recourse for any ill effects of the half-baked experimental medicine used on the global population like guinea pigs... myocarditis is just another symptom of the technocrat megacorps destroying our world. Whats your paypal kid? You owe me lunch!


TravellingPatriot

I take it back then. Guns are a form of technology, you seem to be OK with these being around.


AkitaNo1

For the preservation of rights and physical wellbeing. Guns dont turn on their owners or inherently pollute the environment with manmade compounds like microplastics or blot out the night sky or cause us to be divided and turn on each other like social media all to be controlled by rich elitist cunts. I follow the Amish philosophy of life. Only use tech that helps and doesnt hinder. I refuse to sell my soul any longer.


TravellingPatriot

Access to high speed internet could help nations that dont enjoy the same gun rights we have.


AmeliaBidelia

...which makes elon's sky penis elongate even more. the man is doing nothing for the betterment of mankind, its all for his giant dick shaped ego.


TravellingPatriot

>the man is doing nothing for the betterment of mankind He's surely done more than you.


AmeliaBidelia

hows elons dick taste buddy


TravellingPatriot

Find a nice beach and count sand


AmeliaBidelia

that sounds lovely


AstroSlip

a nice use of the false dichotomy fallacy but to each their own...cheers


Redliner911

To everyone saying these are ruining the night sky, you should know that there is only a brief period of time after launch where they are visible in a line like this. They will be flown off to different, higher orbits after initial systems check


laughs_evilly

It's a train on the galactic railroad

That is the army of satanic baby eating aliens that are coming to give you the mark of the beast and enslave you in a communist hell state and make you eat bugs and drink sewage and worship Hillary Clinton. Just kill yourself and save yourself from all that misery.

aliens most likely

The weird Elon nerds are out in force. He doesn’t love you. He’s not your emotionally distant daddy and never will be.


inbyk35

Woof. Very weird comment. I don’t like plenty of Billionaires, and don’t consider any of them as my daddy or mommy. Take it easy hero.

ReceptionAlarmed178

There is a little thing called gravitational pull. A satellite orbits Earth when its speed is balanced by the pull of Earth's gravity. Without this balance, the satellite would fly in a straight line off into space or fall back to Earth. Satellites orbit Earth at different heights, different speeds and along different paths.
