Watching that never gets old

It’s bonkers that even Neil Armstrong was strongly against Musk commercializing space. Meanwhile NASA can’t even get their own rockets built with billions of dollars and a decade.

both rideshare satellites have been deployed
37ish minutes until the Starlink satellites are deployed to end the mission

The James Webb Space Telescope is delayed... again. This time it's because [shakes Magic 8-ball] there's a flaw in the foreign built rocket they hired to launch the thing.
NASA is a debacle.

Because NASA is nothing but a giant bureaucratic mess these days.
SpaceX is running circles around NASA with nowhere near the budget.

All I did is warn you and give you a basement-centered alternative.
It was up to you to heed my warning and head underground.

coming up on the deployment of the Starlink satellites... which should happen right above Boca Chica, Texas... which is where the Starship tests are happening

Starlinks deployed and mission complete

terminal count has started for the Brant mission to simulate the auroras
if you're on the Eastern seaboard you should be able to see them

I think I heard them say that they are coming up on their last opportunity to launch the Black Brant rocket. Not sure if tomorrow is the last chance.

yeah that's what it sounded like to me... tomorrow night is it
if they can't launch tomorrow night then the whole mission is scrubbed

Do you have any clue what this mesh is going to look like when complete? Along with the other competitors doing the same?

People worried about polluting space is stupid IMO. Also, it’s funny that it’s many of the same people that dgaf about polluting our planet.
It's not "pollution" so much as :
1 - a disaster waiting to happen (see: the movie Gravity, which is a VERY plausible scenario )
and
2 - a traffic headache navigating through orbit, which, because of the dead satellites that have been placed over the years, is very much a junkyard at the moment. At some point, we're probably going to have to develop robotic satellites that are programmed to push dead satellites into the atmosphere to burn up. We're approaching 20K objects in orbit, much of it dead junk like pieces of rocket boosters.

Musk has about 1000 if these in the air. About 45,000 more to go.
Go outside any night and you see them going across the sky.
