BREAKING NEWS:
Space debris from SpaceX Dragon capsule crashed on a hiking trail in North Carolina mountains.
...
I guess this is to be expected.
I guess we're all OK with this now.
Until a Starlink satellite deorbits into a Senator's house or SpaceX launch debris falls into Mar-a-Lago, NYC, or Washington, DC, Americans won't care or do anything about this.
Sure, we won't be able to launch anything anymore, it'll be raining shit for a while, and space will become unusable, but Elon will have made his government-subsidized billions, and people will have "cheap" internet for as long as it lasts.
Starlink terminals continue to be sold in #Russia, used to kill Ukrainians.
Despite assurances from marketplaces that the terminals are not available for ordering and the Russian authorities' ban on using the systems, some sellers are putting the terminals up for sale under a different brand so that they will not be removed from the trading floor.
Only on the Russian marketplace "Ozon" managed to find 12 #Starlink terminals at a price of $1600.

"It’s difficult to say exactly how many asteroids will be lost… but preliminary results suggest that for every five near-Earth asteroids we discover, we lose one solely due to constellation interference. That’s if no mitigation measures are taken”
" DOD: Russia’s use of Starlink will be a ‘continuous problem’ in Ukraine.
The Pentagon and #SpaceX have been working together to shut off Russia’s use of #Starlink."

The International Astronomical Union demands that urgent action be taken against the uncontrolled proliferation of these devices. #Starlink satellites make it difficult to search for objects at risk of impacting the Earth"

"This work presents a photometric model of the Starlink satellites based on the Bidirectional Reflectance Distribution Function (BRDF) using millions of photometric observations. ... In addition to assessing the light pollution and guiding the development of response measures, accurate photometric models of satellites can also play an important role in areas such as space situational awareness."

Wow Starlink totally shat itself overnight . I'm not sure how bad earlier in the night because it even rebooted so lost the data from before 4am! After that it's had many, many, 2second or more outages and 4 which were 15 to 30 seconds! Usually the list is blank. #Starlink
"Deliberately grounded on a tiny reef in the #SouthChinaSea, part of an island chain claimed by the two Asian countries, the #BRPSierraMadre is now the unlikely base for a detachment of Filipino marines who stand guard over the atoll, scanning the turquoise waters for Chinese ships." #AyunginShoal#SecondThomasShoal#Philippines
#Taiwan’s space agency is working on its own version of ‘#Starlink,’ which will allow the island to remain online even if Taiwan’s #UnderseaCable system is hit during a conflict.
