I am just honestly confused. There seem to be no logical reason for it, except that it would raise the stock value of rocket producers like SpaceX and Blue Origin.

    This idea is a total scam. This is just a way of asking investors for an enormous amount of money, with literally no intention of actually following through with it.

    They might throw a couple of cheap satellites in orbit, just to say they “did it”…but no one with any actual comprehension of these things is honestly expecting it to yield results. The vast majority of that investment money, is going to be used for unrelated things.

    In any sane world, this would be considered fraud. But, here we are.

      Remember when Microsoft dumped containers of servers in the ocean to test things.

      If they couldn’t make that work they obviously can’t make space work.

      It was always a scam.

        The microsoft thing worked. It also highlighted a lot of issues that would also exists in space, but way worse.

        But “genius billionaire buffoon” can’t read apparently.
