Yes and we can also use a solution which requires absolutely no cables and digging at all, and that doesn't disrupt any natural environments and occupies land.

And yes I'm aware of the impact satellites have on the atmosphere. There's no free lunch.

And wires are not bound by physics? To run cables over such long distances you have to boost the signal at periodic distances to avoid voltage drops and noise

Satellites are not there for speed, but breadth

Spoken like a true spoiled city person Good luck getting the necessary infrastructure built (cables, towers, et al) to really remote places. It's probably more expensive in the long run than having a satellite constellation.

This exactly. I always wanted to contribute to the kernel but after being a c++ dev for so many years I absolutely don't want to do C, and rust would allow me to have fun doing kernel hacking

The good thing about science is that it doesn't care if you disagree, it just works the way it does

The article's title is something ... 😂 On the other hand it's such a shame the mission went, presumably, wrong

Hi, just commenting to thank you for trying to maintain a space community here on lemmy

You get off the sofa and help do it

You're no better than musk and trump if you act like them and spread disinformation. That's not how you fight the far-right. SpaceX has failed on the timelines, sure, but they still have delivered much more and better than anyone else during the same period of time. It's still a shame they lack proper competition.

Is Copenhagen Suborbital a company? I think they are more of a volunteer group? Not taking away their value though

Really? His argument seems really level headed and just presenting data, instead of the one on the meme.
