Reply to comment by DBDude in Half of all active satellites are now from SpaceX. Here’s why that may be a problem by ye_olde_astronaut
Nothing wrong with good business. But, Elon tried to extort Ukraine, a US ally, by threatening to disable the satellites unless we gave him more. He did come to his senses on that one. But, again he threatened to disable drone use for Ukraine, because he has a interest in selling Starlink to Putin. He’s a loose cannon.

The first time Elon tried to extort the US over Ukraine, we should’ve cut him off. We indeed have a problem, too much power in a lunatic’s hands.

The truth isn’t always popular…get your head out of the sand and learn to accept reality.

Reply to What are in your opinion the scariest objects / occurrences in our universe? by SpaceCinema_
I don’t fear black holes, I believe the universe as we see it, is in one. There’s probably an entire universe in every black hole. I fear the Sun the most because our existence depends on it. If it starts acting up, the outrageous price of eggs won’t seem so important anymore.

You mean those really high commercial space joy rides that just dump tons of pollution into our environment so a bunch of billionaires can get their jollies? If so, why not? They gotta pay for that fuel somehow and they’ve found their mark…it’s you!

Well now the trifecta is complete. Trump can’t say he was targeted and call it a witch hunt anymore. Now, can we just get on to his indictment(s) for 1/6?

No. I do think it would be kinda cool if whatever we become, carbon dust, spirit dust, etc., that we return to space and get to start evolution all over again, from the very beginning like we did here, but on a planet other than Earth.

I believe the only higher power that exists, is the energy of the universe. Far & beyond what we can see.

There’s a lot less of them than the senseless shootings in America.

I remember when civilian shootings in England were unheard of. Car bombs, different story. Please don’t become like America with gun nuts everywhere.

Lifelong FL native here. I’d never seen a whale shark in Florida until a few years ago in Tarpon Springs. I didn’t even know they were in the Gulf of Mexico. Then right afterwards, Great White shark sightings like every week. Didn’t know they were there either!

I think it’s beautiful! Seeing it in books/internet is cool, but that feeling you get when you’re seeing the real thing, with your own eye is mesmerizing. I remember yelling, “Holy shit, it’s really out there!”

That’s true to a point. I see the pollution associated with space exploration as a necessary evil. Billionaire joyrides, not so much.

Minimizing a space rocket’s pollution to that of a car ride, is a laughable comparison.

I am appalled that our government is allowing these completely fruitless joy rides to further poison the planet, so to answer the question…no, not even if I had the money.

Oh so Ukraine has to play by the rules and Russia doesn’t? That seems a little naive.
