We’re a small team of engineers who make progress by building things quickly and iteratively.

Um, I'd prefer not to have a solar energy magnifier orbiting over my head built quickly by engineers who iteratively repeat their design/re-design process learning from their mistakes ...

Well these satellite constellations need to turn a profit - if they don't they will eventually deorbit and burn up. Thats our hope!

Hopefully he burn up and not fall on people.

On a very related subject, there is a tech company, Reflect Orbital that wants to place mirrors (flat) in orbit to beam the sun's light down to paying customers at night so they may power their solar panels 24/7 and light up their property. Their videos and CGI are a real hoot. Every other word out of the CEO's mouth in his videos is "like,....."

 

"Reflect Orbital is developing technology to sell sunlight to those who need it. We imagine a future where sunlight continues powering solar farms and providing lighting after the sun sets. We’re a small team of engineers who make progress by building things quickly and iteratively. Time is our greatest constraint. Join us!"

Pure, 100% hedge-fund investor bait,  using the 'next' scent of Musk to bring them in.

They'll always attack the people who don't conform to their tribe State run space programs are just as guilty (more) of cluttering the skies (they clutter the ocean too) including NASA. Elon Musk will go down as possibly the greatest visionary of our time and right now is outdoing our governments space program so of course the politicians attack dogs will come after him in order to misinform the public and turn them against someone who is embarrassing them in a lot of ways☕

How much did you get paid to post this for him?

Sorry, but that's it. Final warning to stay on topic - Starlink - and not veer off on Musk was ignored.
