Welcome to the News community!
Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.
5. Only recent news is allowed.
Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.
6. All posts must be news articles.
No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, blogs, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.
7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link. Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.
10. Don't copy entire article in your post body
For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.

Thank GOD, Kessler Syndrome avoided... for now.
Look up how many Starlink Sats were launched amd how many never even achieved stable orbit, how many decayed after one or two full orbits, and the how many that actually achieved orbit /functionally work for internet relay/, with a bunch just broken useless extremely low earth orbiti g space garbage.
I cant find the original source I used to check that out a year ago, but if memory serves we are looking at a plus 70% failure rate if you only count sats with stable orbits that actually provide internet service ( ie, survived launch and orbital insertion with their electronics intact ) as 'successful.'
Functionally the US taxpayer has subsidized Starlink to basically throw up a bunch up space debris...
... And Musk already stated last year (before his im gonna buy twitter so people will like me meltdown) that SpaceX will go bankrupt if they dont make their StarLink launches timetable.
I am pretty sure they didnt, and not continuing to recieve gov subsidies (remember when Musk tweeted... or xweeted... that all government subsidies should be cancelled, not too long ago?) ... just maybe might accelerate the bankruptcy of SpaceX.
Tesla is fucked, SpaceX is fucked, Twitter is fucked... does the Boring Company even still exist? and oh dear god Neuralink is a quadruple monster truck figure 8 demolition derby trashfireultrafuck.
Is it possible that Musk might actually go bankrupt and be sent to jail for the absurd amount of fraud he has done?
If you're reading my comment and you didn't click expand on the one above...go back and do so. It gets better and better.
Wow. Each paragraph just gets better and better. Just a bit more unhinged as it goes on.
There's a lot to criticize Musk and his companies for, but by the end of that comment it's just detached from reality.
