@arstechnica weird nerds rooting for SpaceX when privately owned by Musk is very weird, just look at the comments thread on the original article. They want SpaceX to be the only company left (i.e. become the monopoly) for space exploration and satellite internet etc. Unsure if these people are just blind or utterly stupid or secretly wish Musk was their daddy or something else.
@arstechnica Does #Starlink come with a medical plan and remediation for damage to property when parts of these inevitably crash into peoples' homes? What happens when "trunk" pieces smash into an apartment block? The entire system should be grounded. It threatens life, property, and our views of space. Furthermore, the owner capriciously turns it off on #Ukraine to benefit #Russia. Why does the owner have #DOD contracts? Why? Jfc, people!
