in reply to Prof. Sam Lawler • • •It makes zero sense to launch datacenters in space. I ain't gonna go through the technical reasons why, but you can read here where someone that actually worked at NASA and google explaining why its a bad idea... taranis.ie/datacenters-in-spac…
But if I could take a moment to poke my conspiracy brain, I think this is more for building an advanced surveillance network against the whole world. You can possibly monitor almost everything on Earth with a network like that.
Datacenters in space are a terrible, horrible, no good idea.

in reply to Prof. Sam Lawler • • •Ok, so launching one satellite every 10 minutes nonstop would take almost 20 years to launch a million satellites, and that is assuming that someone can build them and deliver them to launch pads at that rate.
Completely unrealistic. Is this really about launching that much or is it about generating hype before trying to sell something or raise money?

in reply to Brian Johnson • • •@BrianJohnson Odds definitely say that a million AI datacenters in orbit is just more fragile ego twitter trolling for shareholders.
However playing with the numbers conservatively, using the 2025 SpaceX launch numbers (down from initial targets) and assuming starlink sattellites get retooled (or just rebranded) as "AI datacenters" for twitter/shareholder creds, SpaceX would need 125 years to launch 1mill units. 62.5 years if using Starship.
Plenty damage early on "for the lols"

in reply to Prof. Sam Lawler • • •DarkSky International now has a set of (very similar) instructions on how to submit a comment on the filings above: darksky.org/news/two-satellite…
They provide templates to help get you started (but be careful using templates, it's my understanding that the FCC will only consider "unique" comments that are submitted). But I think having a large number of individuals who are willing to jump through all the stupid hoops the FCC has set up is a pretty powerful statement in itself! Thanks, all.

in reply to Prof. Sam Lawler • • •I followed the AAS guide last night and put in a comment on both.
I made up a fairly bare bones PDF about how I’m concerned about the light pollution destroying our dark skies, as the existing SpaceX satellites do.
Took me about half an hour. The hardest part was getting the FCC user registration form to accept my completely correct details! It seems my phone number was too short.
And then also the login page is on a different domain so it didn’t autofill.
A lot of friction.
