Yeah that’s true, calculating the actual collision risk is a whole different thing.

It was really just a joke, cause you know space is bigger and more empty than most people realize. Because what I said was “technically” true, if not super meaningful in any way.

That said, orbit isn’t too crowded yet, more is definitely going up, a lot more. Truth be told, 50 years from now, the number of satellites orbiting earth could easily be in the hundreds of thousands.

Well let’s run with that. If you put a single mosquito in my house, I would have a higher ratio of mosquito to air than low earth orbit currently has in its ratio of satellites to empty space. (Seriously)

Well I’m also curious about how to mount a camera, sounds tricky. And if you do use some kind of swivel mount for a stable camera, well that breaks the whole “invisible” thing. Although alternatively, you could just mount it spinning, take 360 degree video.

But to be clear this was human designed with some AI assistance. I think it’s a bit insulting to call this “AI designed”, that took skilled engineers.

I don’t know how they control pitch and roll, as far as I can see it has no control surfaces and just one motor, so it can’t do variable thrust…

Pretty impressive feat truth be told.

Well, technically there really isn’t much up there now.

I mean in low earth orbit it’s what, 99.999999999999999999999 % empty space? With the tiny fraction left being satellites.

law enforcement sources have put the running national tally at more than two dozen destroyed cameras across five states dating back to April of last year.

Wait, what? Your saying this article and all this concern is over about 25 cameras? Like not 25,000, just 25?

The bigger concern I have is that only 25 cameras have been vandalized… I thought this was more of a popular movement, but those aren’t “national popular movement” numbers.
