@davidgerard "X" is like a giant spotlight that just scans for the next scam to lure in more investors.
@davidgerard i wasn't paying attention, did reflect orbital start trading in public yet, surely SpaceX pivoting to Floor will boost their future profits
@davidgerard cool. If this means less of their goddamn satellites, this amateur astronomer is thrilled
@davidgerard so i guess that gen 2 starlink kit ive put on ebay probably wont sell huh

@davidgerard Now that Google is shipping container DCs to space before anyone else, he doesn’t want it anymore
@davidgerard Another article. So they are going to pollute our atmosphere with more satellites and look to the moon instead of Mars.
Drats. I really wanted to see him sent far away. ;)
