Well, everyone, you can now submit a comment to let the FCC know what you think about SpaceX asking for 1 million satellites for "AI datacenters" whatever the fuck that means.

I am having a very hard time believing this is really happening. Fuck you, SpaceX, and fuck you, FCC. This is not regulation, this is a fucking joke, that will destroy our ability to use satellites for centuries.
I appreciate any Americans that submit a complaint, but who exactly gave an American regulatory body authority over the whole of low Earth orbit and beyond?
Colonial theft.

@sundogplanets may be a blessing in desguise, i mean if (when) they fuck up, it will (force) the US to clean their mess by inventing tech to clean out there (if scientifically possible i'm not well known in space physic).

Elon the illegal South African Nazi predator just can't stop pushing his unwanted stubby nub of a weenie in people's faces.
What a dirty pig.

@sundogplanets the good thing is that Elon Musk has never delivered on anything he's ever promised, and this would require rocket launches at such an wildly high pace that I don't think they could come close to pulling this off.
It's just to juice SpaceX IPO and then musk can be a trillionaire. If the next US administration comes to be, this plan is dumpstered for sure.

If anyone has time and energy to set up instructions for how to submit a comment to the FCC (it's really fucking complicated, on purpose, I'm sure), I would very much appreciate it! Otherwise I'll do it in the coming days.
@sundogplanets Yikes. Is DA 26-113 the “docket number or rulemaking number of the proceeding”?

@sundogplanets How would a data center event work in outer space? Heat would build up. Unless I'm missing something and the idea is to have something super worse than regular DCs down here?

Remember the hole in ozone days ?
Sheesh .
Think it was after “ give hoot don’t pollute “ and just before acids rain.Anyway ,, Now we blast rocket fuel through it for the new computer science data barns.
. Interesting swings in folk ideology. -
@sundogplanets It's not going to work. That will be obvious long before he has all that many satellites up, and he'll move on to his next sick joke.
@lauren @sundogplanets I think this one is about the IPO - he wants to pawn off SpaceX on the open market (especially now that he's rolled the other loser companies into it), and this is about hyping SpaceX. If the commentary were to kill the idea ASAP, it might help fubar the IPO, which would be good for all the rest of us.

@kiri @sundogplanets you’re not missing anything; this is absolutely the problem with data centers, structures famously constrained by their ability to reject heat, in space, a place famous for its insulative properties. It’s stupid.
Not to mention that data centers require maintenance and equipment replacement. This aspect of data centers is why companies decided not to put them in the ocean (where heat would be easier to reject). How do they think they’ll do maintenance? Or do the satellites just become trash after a few years?

RE
fucking joke, that will destroy our ability to use #satellites for centuriesAnything #SpaceX wants is probably crap bc #ElonMusk is the guy driving the bus
And another way to destroy the use of space satellite tech is to have #WW3 which is what will only make big tech richer, 🥵

You are way more optimistic than I.
They'd just argue over who is responsible and do nothing until we're Kessler'd. -

The cost on the other end will cripple their economy, because clearning space will not be cheap

Most of the internet is underground, not over your head. There would be little impact on that front.
And what sattelites there are, are at different orbit heights than the proposal, limiting the impact further.

@shaknais actually some internet comunication are handled by satelite, and many TV channel too, but yeah majority are sea cable.
but the GSM network use it quite often actually so goodbye 4G and 5G in many region, the tower will still emit it, but it might be isolated from the network (as not all tower in all country are fibered).

@mmcknett @kiri @sundogplanets
There's also the problem that computers running in space must be more resistant to radiation than the ones we use down here.
The chips used there are different (and slower), use bigger semiconductor scale.AFAIK this just can't work, even aside from the issue of having a million additional satellites...

@Doomed_Daniel oh yeah, I can’t believe I forgot they have to be radiation-hardened, too!

@acm_redfox @kiri @sundogplanets Ice Particle Shotgun Missiles; the ice would hopefully melt under solar radiation and/or enter atmosphere after dislodging/shredding tf out of objects in orbit, maybe? First strike failed? More melting blammo ice cloud blasts. No lazers, grappling hooks, precise kenetic munitions, nukes, etc. Just a cloud of ice belched from high atmo from a dumb metal casing and a falling trajectory.
