Elon Musk Asks US Gov. for Permission to Launch 4,425 Satellites into Orbit

snip:

"Private rocket launch service SpaceX has asked the U.S. government for permission to launch 4,425 satellites in orbit to beam high-speed Internet down to the world, according to a newly filed application with the Federal Communications Commission (FCC).

That's a hell of a lot of satellites; in fact, the figure surpasses the total number of satellites in the Earth's orbit."

Here's the company's 102-page technical document:

I hope that doesn't happen, we already have enough electronic waves affecting us, I don't a sky grid of these satellites would be good for the health of earth and it's inhabitants.

Yes but the way that elon would do it would most likely be the most environmentally safe way. Compared to our existing systems who probably couldn't give a rats ass about anything other than money.

Why does the US get to decide if there are 4,420 sattelites in orbit beaming high speed internet. The US gave up control of the internet.

Sounds more like people are making their moves now to block any newcomers from the new space race

There is going to be a second revolution folks.

Count on it - and it will be the citizens against the government.

It will be damn bloody. It will be a war of attrition. It will result in over 100 million dead.

The heavy handedness of the government - the fascists in code enforcement and animal control especially - have brought this upon themselves.

Stupid waste of money building a system with today's technology.

Look at every single step in the evolution of high tech, give it 18 months and there is something better invented.
Wait until you can do it with 36 satellites.
