What if China follows through and launches a bunch of Starlink shadow kill bots up there because they can? Is SpaceX allowed to whine?

Have we hit today’s quota for fear-mongering crap posts about starlink yet?

Yes. Puts the incessant whining about SpaceX into perspective.

With the current model it has cleared it's orbit and is round so it would still be a planet.
With the often speculated improved definition it is round and also was geologically active and so would still be a planet.

Its all conjecture. Best guesses are neutrinos, or an effect of black holes as the newest.

That's the beauty of China putting up their constellation - they won't give a flying fuck about your pearl clutching.

It is a good question, we still don’t know much tho; as far as I can tell.

Reply to comment by Shrike99 in After flying four astronauts into orbit, SpaceX makes its 101st straight landing — ‘I just feel so lucky that I get to fly on this amazing machine.’ by marketrent
Well I expect Delta heavy to fly more also since the interest in mars science is ramping up along with Falcon heavy. Still, not having a failure in 14 launches of one of under a dozen special case rockets is pretty good.

Nations throwing fucking crap in the skies for the last half a century without a care, one company comes along and does it better with a good disposal plan and they're the bad ones ..

can it be surmised that these 100,000+ satellites will contribute to eliminating dark skies everywhere? that’s a scary thought.
edit: i was unaware this was one of those divisive hot topics. excuse my naïveté.
