I hate everything about this. We’re ruining our astronomical observations and risking Kessler Syndrome so a trillionaire can price gouge rural internet subscribers because he wants to get the high score on net worth because he can’t get a high score on twitter likes (despite owning it) or any video game (despite having paid help). Who the hell told the United States that we have regulatory authority over our shared sky anyway?
They aren’t price gouging rural internet subscribers it’s the opposite they get half priced subscriptions for as long as they keep them. It is the people who try to sign up that already live in a congested area that get fuck off prices. You can sign up and get a rural deal and then move to a congested area with fuckoff pricing. That is what I did inadvertently.
If you’re on a fedi service that allows you to follow individual accounts, like mastodon or piefed, you can follow my favorite astronomy professor in the fediverse who talks about this @sundogplanets@mastodon.social

TIL about Kessler Syndrome. Thanks.
Me too. Also, I’m surprised Bezos doesn’t just do “space debris” cleanup. He’s not going to get into Musk’s space anytime soon.
There’s an anime/manga series kinda about it. They’re a misfit space garbage disposal crew. Meant to prevent space collisions.
