FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK NOOOOO
@sundogplanets We really need the model rocket nerds to start getting into modeling anti-satellite missiles.
@sundogplanets what a bullshit cop out... It falls out of our purview. Time to take a little wider scope assholes
Want some reminders of how fucking terrible this idea is?

Journalists: please write about how dangerous this is.
Lawyers (especially if you're based in the US): please help fight this, it will take legal action now
GREAT guess I'm not going to sleep tonight either. Maybe there will be auroras. I need to enjoy the night sky as much as I can now, I guess.
Fuck you, FCC, for approving this. Fuck Reflect Orbital and all the copycats it's going to spawn. Fuck techbros everywhere. Fuck venture capitalists for funding this destructive, useless bullshit.
@sundogplanets it's about as brilliant as getting the first man on the sun ... at night
@sundogplanets guess we will have to shoot it down.
@sundogplanets "we don't regulate the mirror so we are ok with it."
Then why do you allow it?
@sundogplanets they have got to be shitting us with this
UN is going to have to get involved - but U.S. will just veto it and do it anyway... 🤬
If this isn't going to be geosync... then this will affect other countries as it orbits.
If it is geosync - then we can hope the reflection won't be powerful enough to make additional units be not cost effective.

If it continues - hope they provide blackout curtains for the world!
@sundogplanets how in the world is the FCC the organization that approves such an abomination?
@sundogplanets insert every curse word, in every language 😤
@sundogplanets I am beyond baffled at this decision.
@sundogplanets Wow, this is a truly terrible idea
Our world is a billionaire pedophile's toilet.
