North Korea like: if I can't have a space program nobody else can either
This is false advertising.
Starlink was the first company and product designed to intentionally increase space junk.
Although not needing to provide and internet connection does mean FragSat is a cheaper and more superior product.
Starlink to date has not had any collisions, and it saved me from Comcast.
Pretty sure the joke is aimed at cubesats
Just spit balling here but is there any reason we couldn't also make the radioactive?
Russian-American de-escalation line transcript from Dec 14th 2024:
Saltzman: Dmitry, care to enlighten me as to why exactly Roscosmos felt the need to launch a Soyuz with nothing but depleted uranium marbles on board?
Rogozin: Scy-eence
Saltzman: OK, and why the second one?
Rogozin: Ree-plecibility
Saltzman: ...
Rogozin: Vhat? I dought you like spacebolls
"Just another way we're bringing space down to earth"

Honestly you could do a ton of damage if you were to just yeet a metric ton or so of sand and gravel into LEO and released it in an exciting fashion
Make sure it's in a retrograde orbit for maximum fuckery
an exciting fashion
You're like a poet for the self-censorious TikTok generation ;)
sand accelerated on a glitter bomb like spinner so you cover all angles
Of course you could, but good luck letting Leo agree to that, he was even squeamish about the anal sex.
Imagine a starship load of glitter. The horror!
That sounds like a good way to find a spaceship full of dead astronauts with very glittery lungs.
Or when the sun hits the glitter mass just right: the beauty?
Kessler Syndrome is Bestler Syndrome.
Except for the Space Force, that is.
Simpsons did it already...
But really look at project Westford created a bit of stink
Thanks for the link, I hadn't heard about that before.
To be fair, something like this bud scaled up would be the only realistic way to try and fight off a hypothetical extraterrestrial invasion. Once I saw it suggested we could mass-deploy Thunder Wells to fill an orbital window with a cloud of giant steel shrapnel.
A Thunder Well is literally a bore hole with a nuke in it, and a huge steel plate on top. It was done originally as and experiment and they never did find that fucking plate; it might have been vaporized, but that's nothing a little redesign couldn't fix.
HIMARS IN SPAAAAAACE
HIMARS chonky uncle
Steel balls touching each other would cold weld themselves into a clump if all touching like that. They're going to need a couple design changes.
Not if they’re made on earth and exposed to the atmosphere.
The layer of iron oxide on the outside will prevent cold welding.
Or just coat them all in grease.
All the vibration from them rubbing against each other as they achieve orbit will rub off the Oxide layer. A light oil would probably do just fine.
It's not gay if steel balls don't touch.
Pam.
Cold welding is crazy...
Forbidden ball pit
That logo of a cinder block on the moon is incredible.
Hey y'all got any more of them dark ages?
A community for your defence shitposting needs
Rules
1. Be nice
Do not make personal attacks against each other, call for violence against anyone, or intentionally antagonize people in the comment sections.
2. Explain incorrect defense articles and takes
If you want to post a non-credible take, it must be from a "credible" source (news article, politician, or military leader) and must have a comment laying out exactly why it's non-credible. Random twitter and YouTube comments belong in the Low Hanging Fruit thread.
3. Content must be relevant
Posts must be about military hardware or international security/defense. This is not the page to fawn over Youtube personalities, simp over political leaders, or discuss other areas of international policy.
4. No racism / hatespeech
No slurs. No advocating for the killing of people or insulting them based on physical, religious, or ideological traits.
5. No politics
We don't care if you're Republican, Democrat, Socialist, Stalinist, Baathist, or some other hot mess. Leave it at the door. This applies to comments as well.
6. No seriousposting
We don't want your uncut war footage, fundraisers, credible news articles, or other such things. The world is already serious enough as it is.
7. No classified material
Classified information is off limits regardless of how "open source" and "easy to find" it is.
8. Source artwork
If you use somebody's art in your post or as your post, the OP must provide a direct link to the art's source in the comment section, or a good reason why this was not possible (such as the artist deleting their account). The source should be a place that the artist themselves uploaded the art. A booru is not a source. A watermark is not a source.
9. No low-effort posts
No egregiously low effort posts. These include Social media screenshots with a title punchline / no punchline, recent (after the start of the Ukraine War) reposts, simple reaction & template memes, and images with the punchline in the title. Put these in weekly Low effort thread instead.
10. Don't get us banned
No brigading or harassing other communities. Do not post memes with a "haha people that I hate died… haha" punchline or violating the sh.itjust.works rules (below). This includes content illegal in Canada.
