  3. RE: mastodon.ie/@EugeneMcParland/1

    It's Starlink, isn't it?
    Starlink is the weapon, threatening to Kessler everything unless the US gets it's own way? Seems to be the mindset of the Regime.

  4. 🛰️ Starlink's Signal Leakage Is Threatening Radio Astronomy's Most Critical Frequencies

    - Starlink satellites emit unintended signals 10,000 times stronger than target cosmic signals.
    - Researchers detected 112,534 Starlink emissions contaminating ITU-protected radio astronomy frequency bands.
    - Current ITU regulations ignore unintended satellite hardware leakage, leaving astronomers without legal protection

  5. @ketan And to think there was a time when people thought Elon Musk was an environmentalist and a hero of the left!

    Seriously!

    (And on top of the problems in the upper atmosphere, using methane as a rocket fuel isn't exactly great for the environment either!)

    Kessler syndrome could strike without warning, say space debris modellers
    "
    "A new model of space debris behaviour suggests that random collisions could create the conditions for a runaway chain reaction"
    ".. massive satellite constellations now being constructed, like Starlink + Amazon Leo .. need rethinking."

  15. Flights to nowhere can be fun

    I hadn’t planned on my brief visit to Vancouver for Web Summit’s second annual conference there to include any flying between my landing at Vancouver International Airport Monday and my departure from YVR Thursday morning. But sometimes, your event schedule has a gap just large enough for somebody to pilot a floatplane through.

    That idea of taking an aerial tour of Vancouver got lodged in my head at Web Summit Vancouver last May–when I found myself distracted by aircraft departing from and arriving at Vancouver Harbour Flight Centre, next to the convention center and its bitmapped-orca Douglas Coupland sculpture.

    And as I was nearing the end of my first five appointments on an overscheduled Tuesday, I realized that a) I had almost two hours before my next appointment and b) the weather looked ideal for flying, at least compared to Wednesday morning’s forecast of clouds and possibly rain. So I booked a 20-minute tour flight on Harbour Air’s site at what seemed a workable time before I had to walk a few blocks away for an offsite panel.

    The flight on this 67-year-old de Havilland DHC-3T Turbine Otter was what I hoped and expected it to be, going from my experience taking a floatplane ride above Seattle out of Lake Union 13 years ago. Taking to the air and returning from it without solid ground below the wing feels like cheating at flying; being in a plane small enough where you can see the pilot adjust the controls and almost immediately see and feel the aircraft respond provides an extraordinary demonstration of aerodynamics at work; the views from a large and non-pressurized window maybe 1,000 feet above ground are magical.

    (The timing of this particular flight was less than magical, in the sense that it seemed that Harbour consolidated its 3 and 3:15 p.m. tour flights into one that departed at 3:20 and then left me hustling to get to my panel. I’ll expand on my avoidable scheduling fail in this Sunday’s weekly recap.)

    Avgeeks sometimes call out-and-back bookings like this “flights to nowhere,”1 and I’ve now taken enough of them to realize I may have a bit of a flying problem.

    My introduction, as far as I can remember, took place at a 1997 air show at College Park’s airport–the oldest continuously-operated airfield in the world–at which I recall paying $20 in cash for a flight in what years-later searching suggests was a Stearman Model 75 Kaydet biplane.

    I then went almost 16 years before the next such flight, my Lake Union joyride–and then followed that days later with a balloon excursion above Sonoma County, Calif., that remains my slowest-ever aviation experience.

    2014 bought a work-related flight to nowhere, a hop out of Austin during SXSW on the inflight WiFi operator Gogo’s business jet. That company invited me to try out the ground-to-air connectivity on this Canadair CL-600 by texting people, so I taunted a friend on the ground with “I’m texting you from a private jet. How are you?” and got the reply I deserved.

    I had another Gogo flight to AUS and back in 2016 on the 737-500 that Gogo had acquired in the meantime, on which I saw a travel journalist successfully ask the pilots for a chance to experience takeoff in the cockpit jumpseat. That led me to make the same request before another Gogo flight on that 737 in 2017, treating me to an EWR-departure experience unlike any other.

    In 2019, a friend took my wife and I on a tour above Sonoma County in his Diamond Star DA40 single-engine, four-seat aircraft. That remains my smallest-plane experience, and the only one in which I got to touch the controls. Briefly.

    In 2021, I had my loudest-plane experience when I spent $450 to fly on a 1945-vintage B-25 bomber out of Hagerstown, Md., my only flight to date to allow a view from a tail gunner’s seat.

    And in 2023, JSX treated me and other invited journalists to a DAL-DAL hop to try out Starlink WiFi on an Embraer 145.

    The last two years tacked on ORD-ORD and LAX-LAX flights courtesy of United Airlines to test their deployment of Starlink on an Embraer 175 and then a Boeing 737. And with this week’s joyride above British Columbia’s metropolis, I have to accept that I’ve developed a moderately expensive habit here.

    Which is okay with me.

    1. The bad kind of “flight to nowhere” involves a long-haul international flight that experiences some sort of malfunction that requires returning to the departure airport, even if that requires backtracking across much of an ocean. ↩︎

  17. Cellular Starlink od SpaceX działa już na Apple Watchach. Na razie w dwóch krajach

    To, co do tej pory było jedynie technologiczną obietnicą, właśnie stało się faktem.

    Zgodnie z najnowszymi doniesieniami, usługa Cellular Starlink od SpaceX jest już dostępna dla użytkowników najnowszych zegarków Apple Watch w Kanadzie i Japonii. Pozwala to na łączenie się zegarka bezpośrednio z satelitami Starlink w miejscach bez absolutnie żadnego zasięgu sieci komórkowej.

    BREAKING: SpaceX’s Cellular Starlink now works on Apple Watches in Canada and Japan, letting you connect directly to satellites even when outside mobile coverage.

    Partnering with Rogers in Canada & KDDI au in Japan, the service supports Apple Watch Series 11, SE 3, and Ultra 3. pic.twitter.com/fVaxXm1kFC

    — DogeDesigner (@cb_doge) November 10, 2025

    Partnerami wdrożenia są dwaj duzi operatorzy komórkowi: Rogers w Kanadzie oraz KDDI (au) w Japonii.

    Usługa jest kompatybilna z najnowszą linią zegarków Apple z 2025 roku, czyli modelami:

    • Apple Watch Series 11
    • Apple Watch SE 3
    • Apple Watch Ultra 3

    Co ważne, T-Mobile w USA, mimo że ma usługę Starlink, jeszcze nie potwierdził wsparcia dla tych konkretnych modeli zegarków.

    To nie jest Alarmowe SOS od Apple

    Co kluczowe, nie jest to ta sama funkcja, którą Apple wprowadziło w 2022 roku. Dotychczasowe Alarmowe SOS (dostępne w serii Ultra) łączy się z satelitami firmy Globalstar i służy wyłącznie do wzywania pomocy.

    Nowa usługa to „carrier-provided satellite feature” (funkcja satelitarna dostarczana przez operatora), co potwierdza nawet zaktualizowany dokument wsparcia technicznego Apple. W tym przypadku operatorem satelitarnym jest SpaceX, a usługa jest znacznie potężniejsza.

    Według japońskiego operatora KDDI, funkcja ta pozwala nie tylko na alarmowe wezwania, ale także na wysyłanie i odbieranie wiadomości tekstowych oraz udostępnianie swojej lokalizacji. W Kanadzie operator Rogers udostępnił usługę w formie darmowej bety dla wszystkich swoich klientów posiadających kompatybilne zegarki.

    Remember: a nationalized #Starlink would be controlled by #Trump right now.

    Whatever you nationalize will still be controlled by the opposition once the pendulum inevitably swings back in their direction.

    That's one GREAT reason to oppose #nationalization in general.

  21. "SpaceX provides the only vehicle that astronauts use to get on and off the International Space Station. In the last quarter of 2023, a jaw-dropping 90 percent of pounds sent into orbit were put there by SpaceX. As Stoller notes, by any reasonable standards that makes it “a monopolist in launching satellites.” And SpaceX’s operation of the Starlink service turns the existence of a heavily state-subsidized private space program (which is bad enough) into something far worse. Whatever you think of the war in Ukraine, for example, it’s absurd that Elon Musk’s personal decisions about sharing Starlink terminals with the Ukrainian military make a real difference to the course of that war. Starlink being owned by SpaceX, and SpaceX being owned by Musk, means that a single oligarch de facto gets to set his own privatized foreign policy.

    Steve Bannon, of all people, has made the very reasonable suggestion that the Defense Production Act could be used as a legal basis for nationalizing SpaceX. Bannon, of course, is an archreactionary, and he’s only floated a temporary takeover “until we can get some stable management.” But why shouldn’t we just have this key part of the space program (...)?

    None of the usual arguments against nationalization hold much water in this case. SpaceX isn’t one firm among many jostling to get ahead in a vibrantly competitive marketplace. It’s a behemoth that, as of last September, owned two-thirds of the satellites in space and a ridiculous share of internet traffic, and it’s been repeatedly accused of monopolistic practices. Nor are the company’s profits organically created by the free market. Any story about SpaceX as a font of private innovation because it’s free from state interference would be hard to square with the economic reality of the many billions it’s reaped from its numerous contracts..."

  27. No Toxic Rockets for Maine

    Who We Are

    "#NatureLovers opposed to building #polluting #RocketLaunch sites in #Maine. We monitored & resisted the rush to pass 'emergency' legislation to create a public-private partnership for rocket launch sites in our state. In April, 2022, #LD1923 was signed into law by Gov. #JanetMills after passing the House 'under the gavel' i.e. without a voice vote.

    Military Use

    "LD 1923's sponsor Rep. Daughtry insists that no military uses are planned for rocket launch sites in Maine. But in every location we've studied, the same promises were made and not kept.

    "In# Kodiak, #Alaska 20 years ago one launch site was built with developers claiming it was only for civilian purposes. There are now multiple sites there being used by the #Pentagon and the #IsraeliMilitary. Meanwhile, the jobs that were promised for the project never developed. Sites are staffed when launches happen by outsiders who leave after the event. Only custodial and security staff jobs are available to the local community.

    "Recently a #SpaceX launch of satellites saw 40 of them fall out of the atmosphere due to a #SolarStorm. In their statement about their response to the incident, SpaceX stressed their close cooperation with the Pentagon:

    "The #Starlink team commanded the satellites into a safe-mode where they would fly edge-on (like a sheet of paper) to minimize drag — to effectively 'take cover from the storm' — the #SpaceForce’s 18th Space Control Squadron and LeoLabs to provide updates on the satellites based on ground radars.

    #Toxic Fallout

    "When rocket launches go wrong -- as they frequently do -- #chemicals rain down on land and sea as highly toxic materials burn up.

    "In case of fires at the rocket launch site, large scale storage of #PFAS foam is to be expected. Maine already has a severe #PFASContamination problem on #Agricultural land across the state."
