  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."

  8. A lesson taught again by flight delays: Airlines need to be in the communication business

    I managed the dubious achievement of spending an extra hour or so on different Dulles Airport taxiways two days in a row–and one of those was much easier to deal with than the other.

    The first one was the worse one. After a delayed departure from San Diego (at the end of a Qualcomm event for which the company covered travel costs for journalists and analysts invited), we landed Thursday night and then took about 50 minutes to cover the last mile or so.

    The pilot gave one update after we’d stopped by IAD’s private-jet facilities, one of the farthest points possible on a taxiway from our assigned gate in the C concourse, explaining that recent thunderstorms had caused multiple delays and left our gate occupied. And then we had extended periods of silence as passengers who had connecting flights in the event’s last bank of transatlantic departures started getting antsy and then angry.

    We did finally reach our gate at 10:40 p.m., and from the departure boards showing those late flights getting delayed to 11:15 p.m. or beyond, it looked like everybody should have made their connections. I was just happy to be able to take the last Metro train home.

    Less than 16 hours later, I was back at Dulles for a flight to Orlando. This one pushed back on time, then stopped on the way to runway 30–and we didn’t have to wonder why, as this pilot explained that they’d discovered an issue with the emergency-evacuation lighting not working that required us to return to the gate for maintenance technicians to assess.

    He kept coming back on to update us on the progress of things, both at the gate and then when we spent close to an hour parked near our previous stopping point while air traffic control had to revise our route and the airline’s dispatchers redid the numbers on our flight.

    This second flight had two other things absent from the first: audio from the flight deck available via the seatback screens (what I still think of as Channel 9, from its spot on United’s old audio system) and Starlink inflight connectivity.

    Being able to hear our crew communicate with ATC kept me ahead of developments, while free WiFi that actually worked let me follow our flight’s progress in the Flightradar24 app on my phone. I also could have used that satellite connectivity to tune into LiveATC.net on my phone, but then I’d have had to pick particular feeds after our departure.

    After we landed, I thanked the pilot for taking time to let us know what had been holding up things and for having Channel 9 on… and then he said he didn’t know that system had been on, joking that this meant I’d known more than he did.

    But intentional or not, being kept in the loop and having ways to put myself in the loop made me feel a little more appreciated as a customer. I’ll try to remember how that felt when I’m going on about my own work, here and on social media.

  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. ↩︎

  20. #maga Thought of the day💡️:

    📜 Because one foreign-born suspiciously naturalized individual, Elon "Reeve" Musk (Character #1), is

    1. A shady character of ill-reputation and of unstable mind and sanity, and

    2. A habitual user of various kinds of illegal drugs, and

    3. Prodigiously producing and propagating anti-American pro-fascist and pro-communist (PRC), racist and separatist propaganda, and

    4. In frequent collaborative contact with the worst despotic enemies of the United States and its allies, and;

    5. Because that unstable and untrustworthy individual controls infrastructure that is key to the existential safety of the United States and its allies, and

    6. Because the maga-dominated organ once known as the Supreme Court of the United States (SCOTUS) has ruled that the president of the United States can do whatever hell he or she wants, and

    7. Because everyone — magas and normal people alike — enjoys watching how long the preferential terms that the Chinese CCP regime has provisionally offered to Character #1's commodity Tesla automobile business based in the "PRC" will last after Character #1 no longer carries strategic interest to the regime,

    8. By presidential decree, naturalized immigrant citizen Musk is hereby ordered to divest entirely of his ownership stakes in SpaceX and Starlink corporations, in favour of entity or entities in the USA deemed not threatening to national security. If no transfer acceptable to the United States security apparatus has been completed within 30 days of the issuance of this decree, the United States government will redeem the properties for the princely sum of one (1) United States dollar per corporation.

    9. The character in question has the right to bitch about and contest the immutable presidential decree by snail mail to an address provided by polite request.

    10. The ruling is final. End of.
