Cowboy space's application for stupidly ridiculous numbers of ludicrously large and probably impossible orbital "AI data centers" was SO BAD that the FCC asked them for loads of info. Which apparently they didn't provide by the deadline. Shucks. https://satnews.com/2026/09/13/the-fcc-asked-cowboy-space-how-big-its-satellites-are/
(Too bad 4 other companies have done the same fucking thing and the FCC hasn't stopped them)
@sundogplanets full disclosure - first time i hear about this, i don't know anything about space, and i'm a dummy ... but i feel so, so much better knowing that there are people out there that heard this pitch and thought "we should give this guy millions of dollars". i think this is gonna be my new favorite "if you ever feel stupid" example.
Thank all the small gods!

Don't expect anything from a mob government except despair.
