CSE has submitted a formal response to the U.S. FCC regarding SpaceX's "Starmind" 1-million-satellite application. Our filing shows that reentering 200,000 four-tonne satellites annually will inject 800,000 metric tons of vaporized spacecraft mass into the upper atmosphere, threatening ozone recovery. We also highlight flawed reentry demise models, unverified laser mesh claims, and heightened orbital debris risks.

@space_environmentalism@mastodon.social Remember people panicking about misguided AI agent swarns operating from some OpenAI datacenter? If everything goes wrong, you can still pull the plug on the datacenter. Imagine a similar incident, but the AI runs on a million satellites. In orbit. Decentralized. Powered by the unlimited energy of the sun. How the fuck are you turning that shit off once the AI has locked you out?
