FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK NOOOOO
@sundogplanets joining Palantir in the category of “awful things named after Tolkien things.”
@sundogplanets Its about the financial gains. I very much doubt any sane person believes it will work but when they float it on the stock market they will make billions. The test project does not even have to work.
It needs to be shot down. A nation with space powers has permission to take them out.
@sundogplanets wtaf?
how does the rest if the world feel about this crap?
Since everyone that trump touches turns to shit I have high hopes that this approach will fail spectacularly. Especially since, as ideas go, this one is a hodgepodge of Dunning-Kruger AI output created by people with no knowledge.
@sundogplanets Eärendil-1.
yep. yep yep yep. is there something I can smash safely around the house, we need some busted pallets out back or something
@sundogplanets fingers crossed this fails spectacularly and all of the satellites explode on launch or something. that would be really funny
@sundogplanets are we going to a subscription service for sunlight access?!?
@sundogplanets Oh what the fuck. This is a disaster.
Would be ironic if there was a VEI 8 volcanic eruption just after these stupid satellites were launched 🤦♂️😟
@sundogplanets I wonder if we can crowdfund launching 100 tons of sand into a counter-synchronous orbit.
@sundogplanets ...how hard would it be to shoot one of those down/away from earth with a kinetic rocket without Kessler-ising all of low orbit?
Because of this, I dreamed of being with a friend by moonlit trees and telling her about Reflect Orbital. Her response: WTF!
