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.
@sundogplanets Thanks for the great talk tonight in Hamilton Dr Sam. Scary but enlightening... time to spread this widely.

@sundogplanets plus space is not only a US thing (until some guy decide he wants a property title on it for some US thing). There is a higher authority for this.

@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).
Whilst SpaceX and OneWeb are "excited" abput satelite in 5G - its not actually deployed anywhere at all, yet. Just promises since 2020.
4G satelite systems are backhaul, and cover about 0.5% of deployed systems. The kind of places where bad cloud cover means you don't have satelite, either. Cat3 remote type places.
Musk will probably notice if we lost 4G sat, and make some pissy tweets. Most people won't even notice.

@sundogplanets Maybe that's what it's going to take to teach the world and especially the U.S. that the billionaires should have been loaded onto a rocket and shot right into the fucking sun
@Nonya_Bidniss better idea than Mars. More sustainable.
@sundogplanets -
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.

I believe, they have the idea that space is really cold, and their machines will need no cooling there.

@sundogplanets Many thanks for sharing the link - I wasn't aware of his at all. Absolutely disgusting! I shall be submitting some 'developmental feedback' to the FCC!

@sundogplanets @PhoenixSerenity @EricLawton I think we - non US people - have to turn to our governments to tell them to stop this insanity.
Not that I have much confidence in the swiss gov, tough...

That's the point.
The only way to lose heat in space is through radiation.
I guess, tech bros learn their physics from chatboxes.
I also wonder, how they plan to protect their data centres from cosmic radiation.
