Are you? stfu or go invent a microwave that prevents neoliberal mayors and govenors (at least in the US’s system) from sicking cops on their own constituents while giving the real estate contracts to their buddies who are only interested in building McMansions. 🤡
Edit: As a rule I dont get dragged into pointless debates.
Simply put, until we address the root causes of systemic injustice which are low hanging fruit, and by that I mean do away with the parasitic billionaires who prevent that, any venture into space shall be doomed to come crashing back down for the self-canniblizing fascism which imperialism is.
It’d be funny, if it werent so sad, to see clearly the indignance and hipocrisy from those who believe themselves so enlightended, double down on the “importance of space” exploitation, capital extraction and colonization…without ever considering the rest of the picture.
I used to be bothered by the lyric
spendin all their OUR money building rockets they can shoot into the stars
Neoliberals had their chance with this fucking dynamic, and blew it.
I have no interest in a future in space that is owned by assholes and authoritarians. That doesnt mean i give up on Star Trek. It means I recognize this society is barreling ignorantly toward the bell riots.
Whataboutism. Just because you don’t find space exploration necessary (it absolutely is), does not mean you find homelessness tolerable and it doesn’t even relate.
So you’re saying your comment has fuck all to do with space exploration and you were just looking for an excuse to drag everyone into a conversation about capitalism.
As a rule I dont get dragged into pointless debates.
I agree that manned space programs are unnecessary and unmanned should be very limited. Starlink shouldn’t have been allowed. Unfortunately the US government let telecoms off the hook when it came to serving rural areas.
And be locked down to awful local companies? Starlink was cheaper, faster and more reliable than the Canadian alternatives
I know it’s not always the case, but even then, it’s a global choice versus a local one when it comes to travelling beyond just boats and giving a guaranteed service
Edit: Woah. Wireless Internet has a lot of issues in Canada, limited speeds, slowdowns, hidden fees… You get rid of that by paying double and getting also double the speed and without anything else hidden
Albeit you’re stuck to starlink services, but that’s just a downside of satellite internet
Otherwise, look into WISPs… Wireless Internet Service Providers. Great for rural areas, the infrastructure is point-to-point radios, so it’s super easy to go large distances without the cost of fiber or copper cables.
Best part is, if you have any neighbors that are interested, they’ll often give you a discount if you let them put a sector antenna on your barn/silo. Or they can also erect a short tower if you let them too.
If there aren’t any in your immediate area, reach out to ones nearby. They’re always looking to expand.
If it were that simple, and they were comparable/better than starlink, they’d be a lot more prominent than they are, no? You’re leaving out information.
stop buying tesla, stop supporting spacex, and stop buying starlink
And stop using Xitter.
SpaceX will be the only game in town once the new administration eviscerates nasa
^^ this. In America the only vote that really matters is the one you do with your wallet.
But what launch provider should I use then?
Boeing? No, I don’t think so.
don’t use any. space programs are wholly unnecessary
You don’t like GNSS?
Also space programs have been the source of a lot of world changing inventions.
because spending money on space exploration when people are homeless and hungry is wrong
Are you 12?

Im as enthusiastic for space as they come.

What does this have to do with space exploration, you absolute child?

Funny.

GPS is terrible and I hate being able to find places

Starlink is the only decent satellite internet provider

I would have no other alternative for internet access unfortunately
If you’re on a boat… fair enough.

Thanks I’ll look into that, never heard of it. I’m on an island

It really is that simple. I wouldn’t chose it over wired, but it’s still pretty good. You’re going to beat the latency of satellites every time.

You could live like the first 2020 years of our timeline.
I don’t understand your sentence can you rephrase ?
…Ok, now what? Is evil defeated yet?

if boycotts didn’t work they wouldn’t try to criminalise them
Free speech for me but not for thee, vibes.
Because criminalizing having a different political view definitely sustains democracy.
