    Starlink should be globalized. A planet only needs one low-altitude orbiting communications network.

    Arrest Musk on violation of controlled substances acts, file immigration violation charges, invalidate his ownership shares due to securities fraud, as he falsified education and naturalization forms.

    Or just emminent domain the shit. The Law is just made up right now.

      SpaceX has loads of capable engineers. If NASA gets a massive budget increase, they need to draw from that pool of talent.

    I’ve been saying this for years. the footprint that spaceX represents in national launch authority is out of whack to say the least.
