      2/3 of ALL satellites in LEO are operated by one company, which is being discussed here. You’re being disingenuous

        No, I’m simply calling you out for injecting your personal politics in a discussion about near-collision of two satellites. Please keep that to political communities and let the rest of us have a moment of peace from all that. This is a technology community.

          The richest man on earth being a nazi is not my personal politics. Technology and most especially of all space is the most inherently political of things

            You guys are more obsessed with Elon than his most devout fanboys. Turning every tech thread into personality drama while calling others ignorant for wanting to stay on topic is peak irony. If that counts as burying my head in the sand, guilty as charged - and happily so.

              Fascists are fascist. We’ll call them out anywhere. Good for you that you’re fine with them in your communities, though.

                What the fuck is your problem? How can this place be so full of insufferable pricks.

                “This guy doesn’t want to talk politics in a thread about two satellites nearly colliding - must be okay with fascists then.”

                Stellar logic. Absolutely brilliant.
