anyone else who wants to tell me “for the millionth time” about how it’s super safe to fill low-earth orbit with unprecedented amounts of literal garbage in pursuit of creating a shit-tier ISP that’s sucked hard every time I’ve used it is welcome to take it up with the professor of astronomy that wrote that last article

“it’s not Kessler syndrome unless it’s from the Kessler region of space, otherwise it’s just sparkling Rods from God” fuck you

Wait, does the Starlink internet suck as well? I mean, it has to have high latency, that much I've assumed, but other than that?

I'm told it's good for satellite internet, if you only have satellite internet.
