Serenity now! |
We saw them tonight - probably 40-50 satellites passing overhead in a straight line. It was really weird - I've never seen anything like it before. It appears to be part of a Space-X plan to launch over 12,000 satellites into low-earth orbit in order to make the internet available worldwide.

Yes it’s the star link constellation - just more debris and space junk | |||

This was my first thought bout this. The scene from Wall-E where the Earth is in a bubble of space trash. Demand not that events should happen as you wish; but wish them to happen as they do happen, and you will go on well. -Epictetus | |||

If/when these things fail, do they hit ground with severe casualties or do they burn up in atmosphere? It’s a lot to come raining down. I’m reminded of Dead Like Me. ETA: how do I see them?

They'd have to be massive to not burn up, you are safe. Jesse Sic Semper Tyrannis | |||

I'm not particularly fond of Elon Musk and this is just another reason to distrust this slimeball. After he gets his 42,000 satellite constellation up his next step may be to announce that he is going to charge a toll for any space vehicle passing thru his belt of satellites. I've stopped counting. | |||

I haven't seen them. What time of night and in what direction are they visible? "If Gun Control worked, Chicago would look like Mayberry, not Thunderdome" - Cam Edwards | |||

I saw them about two weeks ago moving west to east about 45 minutes to an hour after sunset. Light bender eye mender ___________________________________________________________ Texas has yet to learn submission to any oppression, come from what source it may. Sam Houston | |||

Yup. I posted about it a month ago. Right when this Covid got going so I assumed it was an alien invasion. https://sigforum.com/eve/forums...500061864#4500061864 These go to eleven. | |||

If the government finds out you have that picture, you can expect a visit from the men in black. | |||

I've seen these films, and I feel confident this is a mistake, a day we humans will ultimately rue. Someone needs to stop Boston Dynamics and Musk and Zuckerburg and Google and Amazon and Apple, I mean SkyNet, before it's too late. And I'm only half kidding.  | |||

The string of 50 or 60 from the launch a few days ago appeared in the sky last night at 10:08 PM. From my location they all appeared to pass between the crescent Moon and Venus. Pretty show! | |||

Saw another string of them over my neck of the woods sitting on the deck Friday 4-17. I was a little stunned at first, then just mad. It really seems like a distraction from nature. Cheers~ | |||
