Watch me catch hate!

I loathe Musk as much as anybody here, but I think rural, and other inaccessible areas, need internet more than we need telescopes.

Been a champion for space exploration since I was a child when Voyager I and II launched, but internet is an immediate need for these areas. Sorry not sorry, for the immediate future, internet access is more important than deep space science.

As an aside, I randomly saw a launch one night in NW Florida and it was one of the most amazing things I've seen in the night sky. OK, most unnatural, but still amazing.
