    the problem you’re not acknowledging is that the atmosphere is a limited resource that belongs to all of us. (not to mention fuel/energy issues)

    i think it groovy to do some beta testing and all… but they shouldn’t just keep launching disposable satellites to bridge the gap and keep service going… all space launches should be extremely well thought out, efficient, and as long lasting as possible…

    like a nasa mission

    sure, do some research… but don’t just burn up the sky…
