@arstechnica Does 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 to benefit . Why does the owner have contracts? Why? Jfc, people!

According to the WaPo: “Donald Trump has privately said he could end Russia’s war in Ukraine by pressuring Ukraine to…cede Crimea and the Donbas border region to Russia.” Did we learn nothing from WWII and the danger of appeasement? Give an inch, he'll take it all.
