    • They better have 5G near the moon property I bought in '95BH26
    • why build it on the surface, aren't satellites a thing? wouldn't that be cheaper?renderedred
    • Satellites around the moon are hard, and expensive. Moon's got wobbly gravity, so satellites need to be more complex than the likes of Starlink, for exampleNairn
    • Hey - whilst you're here - did you see that request for a haaretz article subscription from Beeswax earlier? Do you know anyone with one, so we could read it?Nairn

    • please no more satellites, starlink ruins our starlightapi
    • You'd not see satellites around the moon from here, unless they were huge - not sure you could even see the glint of the ISS if it were orbiting.Nairn
    • See, I respect wood.. astronomy, sorry - but I'm happy for SpaceX to populate Starlink if it a) spreads internet, b) gives $$ for Starship development.Nairn
    • if they succeed in creating a super-cheap platform for getting heavy shit into space, we can have a hundred Hubbles or JamesWebbs in no time.Nairn
    • We can live without a perfectly unadulterated night sky if it gives us a huge gain for a few decades. Fuck it.Nairn
    • The ISS can be seen with the naked eye from the Earth's surface.Continuity
