As the headlins in the article I linked earlier kindly informs us, half of all active satellites are now from SpaceX. And it’s increasing fast. If other companies enter the scene and start competing, the earth will be orbited by a shitload of useful satelites launched into space by billionaires with a penis complex.
Governments are supposed to provide services for their population. Some of these needs might justify launching satellites. It is not unproblematic, and I would rather see it being governed by an international organization, but at least it’s being done on behalf of people.
Companies launch them to make a profit for the fat wallets of their stakeholders and CEOs.
They are not the same. Pretending they are is, as you so nicely put it, weird.
How dare they make a profit!? It’s only the whole reason they’re in business after all…
Ever notice that it’s the governments that shoot people for not buying what they sell?
You can see the US federal government imploding at this very moment, all because one side or the other takes power, and your first thought is to give them power of control over your Internet services??
