Starlink satellites are in a very low orbit that naturally decays in less than a decade. You would need about six orders of magnitude more satellites to make collisions 1:1000 years likely assuming all satellites loose navigational ability at once.

Space is big. Really, really big. You might think that it's a long way down to the chemist's, but that is just peanuts compared to space.

OK, I'd like to buy If I Ran the Zoo. Ebay does not sell it and Amazon slaughters elephants. Where should I go?

Wouldn't work. Drupal had a security issue a few years ago where the constructed SQL used field names from the user input. There would be no way for the SQL engine to know where the field names came from, even if it would disallow string literals in favour of a parameterized query.

More importantly, these CoCs can be used to silence and undermine open source projects that threaten big businesses. At least, that's how it seems that they are most often used. By eliminating the most significant contributors to projects, the project stagnates.

Just look at Mozilla since Eich was cancelled. The new CEO ruined the company and ruined Firefox. She took home four times the pay and fired engineers. But Mozilla is now "woke", never mind that now the web is dominated by a Google-aligned web browser.

It seems that the new Twitter account is just a parody of Cancel Culture. It's full of "news headlines" like this:

> Company CEO and Founder Fired By Recent Human Resources Hire: "How
> can a man be good at his job without understanding the significance
> of cross-sectional, multi-cultural, urban feminist diversity?"

That might or might not be true of mutual dependency, but it is most certainly not true when one side is dependent on the other with no reciprocity. What we have here is ripe for exploitation.

You forget "yeah they did it, but it will never be economically feasible to refurbish a rocket".

Then there was "there won't be enough launches to justify the effort" and of course the favorite "no insurance company would ensure a payload on a used rocket".

The vehicles will likely be sold to private buyers. That means that the ICE used-car market is about to crash. This means that people considering purchasing a new ICE or electric vehicle will need to factor in the reduced resale value of the ICE vehicle. That is yet another win for electrics.

You're missing the bright side of this. This is the first milestone that the SLS program has finished on time.

Actually, about seven minutes early!

What else are you going to do during lockdown with a high speed internet connection?

Apt analogy. Have you any idea how "surprised" people are when wars break out over droughts today. How "surprised" people are by the increase in migration out of the Middle East and Africa the past decade? Climate change has been staring us in the face for decades but now suddenly everybody is surprised.

Nice try. AC couldn't smear SpaceX so decided to smear Tesla instead. Thank you for making it clear what your real goal is here.

The video shows some suits with straps around the neck, which seem to transfer part of the load to a gusset behind the neck. It seems that the hands handle little weight, and are more used for guiding the orientation of the load.

That said, in those instances in the video the workers are clearly lifting with their backs, not with their legs. This just looks like an injury waiting to happen.

I doubt it. Boeing has laurels to rest upon, SpaceX is in the stage of creating the laurels.

So far, SpaceX has demonstrated far more attention to detail and safety that any other space agency or contractor in decades. Maybe Embraer or Airbus would be a better comparison.

And what is the LES for the huge O2 and CH4 tanks, and the six Raptor engines strapped below them?
