There’s maybe never been a project that so obviously called for global collaboration. Even if we ended up with separate constellations for the 1st world and 2nd world, that’d still be less than just the U.S. projects I can name off the top of my head (Starlink and Project Kuiper plus whatever HughesNet and ViaSat are doing to keep up).
I obviously get that isn’t politically possible. But it’d be nice if we could have satellite internet without screwing with astronomy and risking Kessler Syndrome.
Hopefully the coming Kessler syndrome will be short-lived and confined to vleo
Great. More space junk.
