"#SpaceX satellites threaten to hide asteroids that pose danger to humanity
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"
“We’ve talked in the past about there being academic evidence, engineering studies. What we are actually seeing now with those satellites in operation is empirical evidence. You see the noise floor on our satellites increase to the degree that services cannot be provided.”
"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."
Oh look, another Elon company stiffing its contractors.
“Texas property records show that Hydroz is one of more than two dozen companies that have filed at least 72 liens since 2019 against sites developed by SpaceX and its contractors. Combined, Reuters found, the liens have sought payments totaling more than $2.5 million.”
“#Regina astronomy professor Samantha Lawler… noted large chunks of metal from space have recently been found in Australia and Washington state, and one smashed through the roof on a house in Florida.”
Remember all the times Elon Musk said Tesla is so amazing for the environment? The company is being sued for violating the Clean Air Act hundreds of times in recent years by emitting harmful pollutants from its Fremont factory into nearby neighborhoods.
@parismarx Don't forget the #pollution, I & #Spacex are creating by sending those rockets to pollute the stratosphere too & depositing all those junk satellites there just like I talk a lot about #FreeSpeech while @x keep censoring people all the time
"Return-to-office mandates at some of the most powerful #tech companies — #Apple, #Microsoft and #SpaceX — were followed by a spike in departures among the most senior, tough-to-replace talent...

And regarding managers, one person posits: "Maybe managers leave shortly after mandates ... 'because it’s easier to manage a team that’s happy.'"
#ElonMusk hat X, seine Social-Media-Plattform, wiederholt benutzt, um #rechte#Staatsoberhäupter, einschließlich argentinischer Javier Milei und indischer Narendra Modi, stimmlich zu #unterstützen. Im #Gegenzug hat er von ihnen #Firmenvorteile für seine lukrativsten Geschäfte #Tesla und #SpaceX gewonnen, wie eine Untersuchung der New York Times ergab.
Les satellites de #SpaceX menacent de cacher des astéroïdes dangereux pour l'humanité
L'Union Astronomique Internationale exige une action urgente contre la prolifération incontrôlée d'appareils qui rendent difficile la recherche d'objets présentant un risque d'impact sur notre planète.
