OT: Starlink. Good? Bad? Thoughts.

Hopefully Elon will support the right side when things pop off here very soon.

you used have to get close to land and population to have better reception...with starlink the opposite is true..the farther from land and people the better reception

Yeah how long do you think it will take to shoot down 30,000 satellites in space?

Brah, those satellites are not in space, they are in Low Earth Orbit. USA, Russia, China and India all have ASAT capabilities. India took out their own satellite with a surface missile in under 3 minutes. A few well placed missiles could trigger the Kessler Syndrome.

It scared me on a cold winter night as I pissed off my deck watching a string of shooting stars. Thought the aliens were coming for us

They can't get you inside the dishwasher. You'll outlive us all!

Kessler Syndrome is theoretical. Even needing to shoot 50 of them is a lot.

Is there a threat of something in the Middle East?
