“Be quiet small man”… smallest dick energy I’ve seen today.
I don’t like Putin, but he’s a black belt judoka additionally trained in combat by the russian secret services.
He could fuck that misshapen walrus pool toy without even getting out of breath.
Putin is just as full of shit as Elon is.
Mofos couldn’t fight their way out of a paper bag.
Elon Musk needs to be killed already.
I was tricked by Musk into believing his lies before he started to endorse Trump 2.0. I feel stupid now. The sociopathic tendencies are undeniable.
My life policy is that if someone or something is too hyped,popular, trendy or loved it’s usually shit
I remember a comment on Reddit from someone claiming to belong to Musk’s PR team that said they worked incredibly hard to cultivate his image. But they had just been fired as Musk was tired of being controlled, and kept from doing and saying crazy things. This person said the world would soon see just how much of a. all-around monster Musk really was. I didn’t believe them at all at the time, Musk was a genius who was going to save humanity! It really makes me wonder about the actual person behind most of these figures and celebrities.
Is there any evidence that Musk is right about Poland only paying “a tiny fraction of the cost”? Seems a strange comment to make
SpaceX is bleeding money but I guess they are taken care of for the next 3.8 years
3.8 years if we’re really really lucky. My money is that our luck ran out in 2016.
for the next 3.8 years Now now, we should stop pretending that anything could happen in 3.8 years to stop that.
They’ll stop it in a few months when Putin tells them to.
What I meant is, they will be prevented from going bankrupt either way – whether the money hole gets filled by a massive contract or closed by Putin’s no-fly request.
i find new reasons to hate on this man, sadly he was an idol when i was growing up kanye west’d himself real quick. ah they two are friends right! makes sense.
most of us were swindled by him. Now we know better
blast every single one of them shits out the sky. it’s an eye sore and he’s the small man.
Then how is it possible that some of the internet carriers offer satellite internet without starlink?
They use high flying satelites that stay in a fixed orbit for a very long time.
On the other hand, starlink satelites fly in low orbit where there is enough air that they are dragged down and must be replaced. This is expensive and only possible because SpaceX made rocket launches significantly cheaper.
The advantage of the low orbit is the low latency which makes it possible to steer drones.
Having used both systems (my parent used to only have satellite available):
Traditional satellite has a ping of around 600-700 ms, while starlink was around 70.
Oof 700ms is going to be worthless for anything besides downloading stuff. Video calls would even be very frustrating
Specifically they’re at an altitude of ~600km and the atmospheric drag limits their lifespan to roughly 5 years.
“Small man” says everything.
Musk thinks he’s an edge lord.
And pandering to weird dudes that think even the dumbest, most cringeworthy statement is a win if you’re pretending that it is.
Twitters UI confuses me. Where do I start? What’s the next one? And where’s the end?
It starts in the middle. It’s smaller and indented because it’s then being quoted by the Polish minister on top. Then Elon, fuckwit that he is, responds at the bottom.
What the hell happened to RF? Did we lose spread spectrum? Why does this have to happen over satellite? Does everything have to be high speed IP based to get the job done? Are all the HAM’s dead?
Theyre small, light, and have a low energy profile. It’s pretty hard to jam a satellite. You can transfer data pretty fast and reliable and without range limitations. If you lose a device, the enemy still cant listen because they get locked out of the device.
RF mesh would totally fit the bill on everything except fast. As far as listening, you can just do data over RF with the same security level as the sat.
Calling someone else a small man really shows what kind of man he is
It’s quite an interesting insight into what kind of thing Musk himself feels is a great insult (hence he is susceptible to it) as well as how much Musk thinks his opinion counts for people such as the Polish Minister of Foreign Affairs, all of which dovetails with the idea that the guy suffers from both Megalomania and Narcisistic Personality Disorder.
For any reasonably well adjusted person in a position of responsability such as being the Foreign Minister of a country the size of Poland (or, frankly, for anybody self-aware and self-confident), being called “small man” by somebody like Elon Musk is roughly the equivalent in importance to being barked at by a dog that cannot actually harm you.
While I get the sentiment, another solution would put even more junk into low orbit, and cause even more problems for radio telescopes. There was already major concern about this with Starlink.
The questions are, what are the use cases, and can they be served by alternative technologies? When you answer that, then you can look into seeing if the extra latency to GEO is acceptable, or if terrestrial systems can do the job.
Eventually, I could see satellites becoming modules that attach to a frame that handles station keeping and such. That would keep LEO debris down. Would probably need Starship-level heavy lift to make that work, though, and nobody else has a rocket on that level except the chronically overbudget/overschedule SLS.
I wouldnt be suprised if putin beat his ass. They both might be old decrepit fucks but putin has martial arts training at least. This response to one of my countries government officials is also what pushed me over to finally dropping as much american everything as possible.
My money would be on Putin for sure. There’s no way Musk’s pale, puffy body has ever been in a real fight, unless you count lying on your back and kicking upwards while screaming to be “fighting” per se.
A more interesting contest would be between Musk and Trump, since Trump outweighs him by probably 80 pounds and has much greater reach. Plus the force of his punches would be concentrated into a smaller area!
Musk would probably be in more danger if he won the fight. Really a win win situation.
before the Ukraine war felon wanted to open a tesla factory in russia, he and putin want to do buisness together and the war in an inconvenience, it is all about $$
Honestly I think Putin would beat his ass
Scheduled to arrived by 2030, but the EU is developing one and it’s sounding pretty sweet: https://defence-industry-space.ec.europa.eu/eu-space/iris2-secure-connectivity_en
