Popping in from a social media break to say: Reflect Orbital still totally sucks! https://www.technologyreview.com/2026/08/21/1142755/space-mirrors-night-sky/
@sundogplanets Has anyone looked into the wildfire risk of this? Presumably everything in the beam area will just get drier and drier.
@sundogplanets It’s not just this, because there will be corruption.
@sundogplanets It does. So many sucky things being imposed on us.
@sundogplanets Well went have broke the planet yet Jeb. still don know what all the fuss is about?
@sundogplanets Well, I think you should take a break from this break from your social media break as soon as you need one!
(PS I did read both articles before switching to facetious mode. Glad both horrors are being covered, but obviously not glad of the need to cover them.)
Oh yeah, SpaceX (and multiple other companies that want to launch too many satellites) still suck too https://www.science.org/content/article/planned-satellite-megaconstellations-could-generate-runaway-space-debris
@sundogplanets any journalists using 'could', 'might', 'potentially', etc., vs. *WILL* are under suspicion.
