This is great but when are they going to get to Uranus?

12,000. Well that should provide enough solar blockage to reverse glow-bull discombobulation and prevent CLIMAGEDDON. 👹🚀

I am a big fan of privatized space.

Unfortunately I am not a big fan of Elon Musk, who has a long history of over promising and under delivering with Tesla.

Will this be able to get around the firewalls that many nations have put in to limit the information that their citizens can access? If so, it might do for the current crop of totalitarians what the tax machine did to the Warsaw Pact 30 years ago.

60 satellites in a single launch. Amazing.

I’m old enough to remember my Dad taking me out in the back yard and pointing out a small light traversing the sky just after sunset. That small light was Sputnik; then the one and only manmade orbiting satellite.
