Reply to comment by RobertAngelo in SpaceX launches 54 upgraded Starlink internet satellites and nails rocket landing at sea in 60th flight of the year by ovirt001

Honestly, it's wild that it's okay for someone to just do what they want in space. How is this not illegal somehow? Changing the night sky and creating possible surveillance that puts every country's shady effort to shame. What Elon did in Ukraine with the free internet is really something but if we step back for a second and just look at it from a distance he has already meddled in world politics and warfare between two countries he isn't even a citizen of. His power is already off the charts.

I don't think that kind of power is meant to be in the hands of a single man. The guy already has starlink and now he's working on neuralink and no one bats an eye? If/when some evil billionaire decides to enslave humanity we won't even protest, we will celebrate them as our savior.

Um, eyes are being batted. All over the internet. Kind of a crazy statement to make given the Elon uproar over the last couple of months.

You have never heard about the FAA, haven't you.

Maybe you should look up that this agency does before you continue spewing nonsense on the Internet.

why is it wild? spacex has to contend with NASA and the FAA. NASA is a member of an international coalition of space-capable countries.
