Dish Network will have to pay $150,000 for failing to move an old satellite far enough away from the Earth.

I don’t know nt get it. They only moved it half the distance that they needed, because it ran out of fuel. It’s a relatively short distance and I’d expect space movement to keep moving, after I initiated, as there is no friction. Why did it stop moving once they were headed away?

Cool, now lets issue one to Dillweed over at X for Starlink. There was literally a petition put out by the astronomers at ground-based observatories begging him not to do it. What had already been put up was making issues for ground-based telescopes, the full constellation will likely make the multimillion-dollar optical telescopes overpriced tourist attractions.

what about other countries?

As someone who owns an appartment complex I want to fine them for roof junk.

You own an apartment complex?

He can’t respond because he’s too busy painting over all the light fixtures and power outlets

This is true actually. But I had to work late because I accidentally got some on the wall.

I tried to upload the gif of the outdoorsman smiling and nodding but it broke. Loved this reply lmao

The last apartment I was in had dozens of satellite dishes on the back of every building for a dozen apartments, they didn’t even bother to check if one was hooked up before screwing a new one into the wall

I found that dish will screw giant lag bolts right through the shingles of your roof, right next to 3 other abandoned dishes. They are no longer allowed in our complex. I finally identified all the abandoned ones (alost all of them now as they are phased out), removed them and patched all the shingles. Filled an entire dump trailer. It was ridiculous. Had to repair ceilings from the leaks. Cable company is almost as bad. They leave all the old wires up, run new ones right over top. Putting nails through all the siding. But at least they aren’t destroying the roof.

Starlink is losing a crazy number of satellites. Are they burning up or becoming junk?
