The Starlink communications network is facing stiff challenges to its dominance of high-speed satellite internet, including from a Chinese state-backed rival and another service financed by Amazon.com founder Jeff Bezos. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/business/2025/02/24/tech/musk-starlink-china-satellite-internet/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #business #tech #elonmusk #starlink #satellites #jeffbezos #amazoncom #china #telecoms #internet #tech #rockets #spacesail

In the past weeks I see many videos on YT with titles indicating that the interstellar object Oumuamua has either recently accelerated again or "has returned" / "is headed back to us" and the claims are often associated with physicist Dr. Michi Kaku.

But, looking at every such video I find, there is no mention of anything like this having been observed.

Such an occurrence would be remarkable, and so I assume this is just another example of extreme click-bating that's certainly been on the rise recently.

I assume no one reading has heard such an actual claim. ?
