Wandering Adventure Party

@cstross Totally agree, also just imagine the many scenarios that will eventually hit constellations like this - e.g. the company goes out of business or they lose device control, organisation gets a viral or c&c trojan, systems operational issues (like bad patch rollout) for example

@sundogplanets I am fine with this, not because I am happy with having our eternal view of the heavens f*cked up by stinking billionaires and impotent regulation, but because this situation is unmanageable from a physics and mechanics perspective. If all the operators in this sector do this then when 1 sat fails its going to be a big issue. It will make orbital space unaccessible which to me is better as it forces us to show respect and consideration!

@randahl Agreed, but it does not stop private support. In the last 3 years I donated 1000s in equipment, winter supplies and cash. Just find your local Ukraine charity or donate via many mechanisms online.
