@sundogplanets they mean 2 in 1: miror satellite that (with a small bump of a micro meteorite or space junk) will be transformed into a giant random-spinning death-ray from space… yay future!:/

@sundogplanets Billionaires just gotta have their solar powered death rays.

@sundogplanets And why do they keep using names from Tolkien’s ?

@sundogplanets Are they out of their mind? 😡

@sundogplanets surely other countries are within their rights to shoot this fucking thing down before it gets into orbit

@sundogplanets fucks sake

@sundogplanets

Kessler-Syndrom 3....2....1 ... done . Oupsi.

@sundogplanets Reflecting sunlight *back* on an overheating planet. The FCC is trying to kill us, right?

I can only conclude they took a massive bung to approve something which they admit is outside their jurisdiction.

@sundogplanets 😬😬😬

@sundogplanets what the actual fuck.

And tech bros, please stop naming these abominations after Tolkien.

@sundogplanets Hope the EU is going to approve of a plan to shoot those things out of the sky.

@sundogplanets how can a single country unilaterally approve something that will fuck up astronomy research for everyone?

@sundogplanets

>Earandil-1

Why do all the most fascist projects seem to have Tolkien-stolen names these days? Palandir. Valar Ventures. Etc.

@sundogplanets I'm filing this under J, for 'just because you can do this doesn't mean it's the right thing to do'.

Fucking #TechBros...
