>We'll launch 1 Million satellites to create data centers in space!
As if there isn't enough junk in earths orbit already
>>
Investing in a trillion-dollar company means they have to find something useful to do that could make it back eventually, even if it's short-term and resourceful waste.

We don't have empirical evidence of Kessler syndrome so we need to run an experiment to find out if it's true.
>>
>>16999588
Orbital junk is largely a meme. The sky is not littered by satellites literally hundreds of kilometers in size as your pic may suggests. It's mostly empty and remains empty for the foreseeable future.
>>
>>16999612
Even if that's true, do we really need this many satellites?
>>
>>16999614
yes, to cover the night sky in ads
>>
>>16999614
>we need
What stake do you have in the satellite market?
>>
>>16999588
If each of these dots are to represent satellites, they would have to be each the size of a city
>>
Libtards only became concerned about muh data centers (two decades after they began existing) because they have finally realized AI is only coming for the easy, artsy jobs they use to brainwash the general populace.
Yes, AI is going to utterly destroy Hollywood. We will no longer be required to watch THE MESSAGE promoting child sexualization and anti-White hatred in our movies.
>>
>>16999680
No retard Liberals are against data centers and AI since conservatives are in charge and are promoting it. If Liberals were in charge, you can be sure that all the Anti-AI people would have been conservatives instead. It's really not that deep.
>>
Planetes will finally be real.

>>16999755
The owners of AI are literally gay men and liberals like Altman and Demis Hassabis and Dario Amodei.
>>
>>16999612
>forseeable future
about 2 weeks in todays knowledge economy
>>
>>16999611
oh, we'll get there, but honestly, we're not even close

these visualizations are always magnified by orders of magnitude
>>
but for real, if kessler became a thing, what would be the options?

suborbital missions with some weird "catcher mit" rocket to clear a corridor?
>>
>libtards dream of a day without work
>pass laws to limit work hours
>complain work is hard
>force companies to push more work from home
>boycott jobs that dont work from home
>push for more jeets to replace their work from home
>push for 10 million illegals to enter to replace the jobs at bottom end of the american labor force
>AI comes in to replace the libtard furry/gay/tranny writers/artists
>they scream bloody murders

>>16999588
With more than 600 million sq km and 1 million satellites, there is obviously plenty of space.

>>16999788
Elon is a manly man that makes his women regularly come down with twins. Altmen cannot touch this.
>>
>>16999588
Space debris and kessler syndrome is a meme problem that only exists because we haven't run into it yet. The second space debris actually becomes a problem someone will just point a couple of lasers into space and push any significant piece of debris into wack orbits that'll burn them up in the atmosphere.
>>
>>16999588
Why post a fake image? If you take a picture of Earth from the moon (which has been done many times), there are no satellites in view. It's like saying you can see a bottle cap in an ocean, even if there are 10,000 of them in the ocean.

Those white dots aren't drawn to scale.
