Absolutely debunked, FAA accepted a report that didn't do proper research and have been called out by SpaceX for it.

Lol SpaceX. Why would I take them seriously?

Who wouldn't? They are doing some of the most advanced rocket science on the planet. Of course, trusting corporations statements and research is an entire topic of it's own. Taking Elon Musk seriously on the other hand...

Because they are a corporation that is actively littering LEO with hundreds of satellites, and fear economic retribution and/or responsibility as a consequence of this kind of information?

You see how there might be something called "conflict of interest?"

Having a conflict of interest does not mean they aren't competent at what they do - just that they have reason to be biased against information that may result in direct consequence.

While SpaceX does launch and operate thousands of satellites, this also means that they stand to lose the most if LEO becomes cluttered with space junk. If anyone ought to be worried about space junk, it is the launch providers. If space junk becomes a problem, their customer base vanishes.

Ok Thre-ElonMusk-eteers.

You keep gobbling that knob. Maybe daddy will pay attention to you one day

Wow, I've never heard about "GIZCHINA". It definitely isn't gizmodo - right? 🤔 Right!

  • it is a Czech company with entire capital stock consisting of 4USD 😎 (cca 100 CZK)
  • the text is showing hight probability of AI generation. Which adult human being is going to write eg: " In this article, we will discuss the FAA report in detail, including the risks posed by falling satellites, the causes of these risks, and the potential solutions to mitigate them." 🤖
  • it does not say anything else than this - much more likely human written thing here - only the original is only 1/3 as long. That is IMO how come the AI Writing is literraly jumping out on you from the article. 😱

This is my least favourite century yet.
