And? We can't live in space, we can't travel because distances are too large, it's still polluting our orbit and a huge waste of resources, for what? Just build more satellites? Is there even the demand for more satellite internet?
I'm all for doing R&D for research's sake, like medicine research in zero G, but this exagerated "everything related with space is magical and life-changing" view is ridiculous. This whole HN thread is ridiculous, this is the crowd that would fall hook line & sinker for datacenters in space.
