UPDATE: the merge has gone through, apparently for “$250 billion” of imaginary value of private company equity
“ah, but you see, THIS piece of space garbage came from a totally unrelated space-garbage-launching mission”
@ebu @TranscendentalEmpire The multi-billion-dollar exploding-rocket company can’'t be expected to keep track of every piece of trash that falls off of their dogshit spacecraft
No, SpaceX is still responsible for dropping trash that could harm people or property. There’s just a difference between dropping something from orbit and from lower in the atmosphere.
The original argument was about worries over Kessler syndrome and then they moved the goal post to space junk not burning up completely, utilizing an article about space junk that wasn’t ever in orbit.
I don’t give a shit about SpaceX, Elon and all his companies are complete trash. That doesn’t detract from the original argument that existing satalites in low earth orbit aren’t something to loose sleep about.
You could make the argument that putting more junk into space has negative and unnecessary outcomes, but that’s a completely different argument that I would agree with.
no, the “original argument” (jacking off motions) was prompted by this shitpost of yours:
nobody moved the fucking goal posts, normal people don’t go online to engage in a spot of spacex defense while pretending to hate first-name basis “Elon”. that you have a rehearsed set of fucking gotchas over the specific danger presented by spacex is fucking incredible.
but instead you decided to tediously split hairs over Kessler Syndrome as if anyone here other than the resident physicists give a shit. you don’t get it. nobody is here to win points. we’re not an IRB; nobody gives a shit what specific category of danger is represented by the space junk Musk’s generating. we give a shit that there’s danger at all.
fuck me there’s nothing more depressing than a spacex fan who swears they hate musk and goes to bat for the fucker’s worst, most damaging excesses
