I wonder how much taxpayer money will be spent trying to protect musk's satellites.
replies:
We already have the technology if memory serves. Since civilians are the last to know, there have probably been satellite killers in orbit for years.
It's fun for Musk to get fucked, but I believe Ukraine uses Starlink to defend itself

Space wars?
replies:
According to the authors of the concept, if the resilience of a satellite constellation is ensured by its sheer number, then the response should be a weapon cheap enough to destroy satellites faster than SpaceX can launch new ones.
Smells of the good old forgeting that the target wont just sit by
At least they arent putting everything in one basket this time with physical destruction being the last option
Whats a satellite constallation destroyer but a anti ICBM weapon under a diffrent name?
That's great. No space for anyone.
I could get on board with that.
they already have anti-satellite missiles, they just need to build alot of them. or have jamming satellites of thier own,.
Ooh I'm actually all for this! Destroy ALL the satellites!

And so the star wars begins.
replies:
Yeah! Fuck Starlink!
This feels like one AI civ making a pact with a lesser AI civ that is already bogged down in war and clearly won't win the military victory it's going for, so that once it has run the course of its use will be invaded and incorporated with the bigger civ.
They're also already been sending settlers to the African continent, if it was me I'd be restarting the game because any turn now they will conquer Asia, Europe, and Africa, and achieve either a cultural or military victory by doomstack.
replies:
The one time I'm actually going to root for Russia and China.
Nobody wanted them up there in the first place. Please fucking do.
I'm surprised China just doesn't say they created a better Starlink. The CCP lies/makes up about everything else so what's one more thing.
eat it, musk
