SpaceX rocket crashed on the moon, scientists say: ‘100% confidence’ Once imaging is returned, scientists say it will confirm what NASA predicted: that the rocket’s upper stage unintentionally slammed into the moon, carving out a large crater. #Trending #World #Moon #NASA https://globalnews.ca/news/12009806/spacex-rocket-crash-moon/

We just filed a formal Reply Comment with the FCC opposing Cowboy Space’s massive 20,000-satellite data center constellation. Instead of addressing the scientific and technical concerns we presented, Cowboy Space relied almost entirely on procedural deflections. We won't let orbital greenwashing go unchallenged.

As much as *scientist me* would like to think this is cool, it is not cool. We are not only letting billionaires trash our planet, but also the interstellar space surrounding our planet. A dead SpaceX rocket will crash into the lunar surface at a super high rate of speed, causing a ejecta plume that will teach us about lunar subsurface geochemistry. But this is not a planned experiment. It is the result of an accident by a private company. It is unauthorized. And more and more stories will unfold like this, including the unauthorized brightening of our night sky, as we let these billionaires do whatever they want to our resources. Humbug! #SpaceTrash #SpaceX #moon #Musk #SpaceDebris #NightSky https://www.yahoo.com/news/science/articles/dead-spacex-rocket-slam-moon-173456998.html

#Amazon is asking the #FCC to approve 5,105 massive new #satellites while hiding their orbital debris risk models behind a wall of corporate secrecy. The public deserves full transparency, because a safe and sustainable space environment belongs to all of us — not just to the highest bidder. https://spacenews.com/amazon-files-application-for-direct-to-device-satellite-constellation/ #Space #SpaceDebris #SpacePolicy

@david_chisnall@infosec.exchange Oh yes. And if we included the enormous costs of energy and drinking water, the environmental costs of the huge datacenters (plus planned #spacedebris) in a time of #climateCrisis! These costs are mainly paid by people living in those regions, not by the users. And by the climate, by biodiversity. We only have one earth. @hfalcke@mastodon.social

RE: https://fosstodon.org/@AkaSci/116872704717933207 And when Swedish media reported on this, one word they used for them was... Wait for it... SPACEBALLS. No, seriously! "Rymdbollar" in Swedish. #SpaceDebris

Here's a pic of another similar object washed ashore at Forrest Beach, 250 km south of Cairnes. The Australian Space Agency states that they have identified the likely source, but do not name it. The object is a pressure vessel from a rocket body that recently re-entered the atmosphere from orbit. Strange how they these spherical objects survived the violent reentry into the atmosphere without much damage. Posted on X by @ausspaceagency@bird.makeup #Space #SpaceDebris 5/n

This is getting worse by the month. Space debris is a real challenge for our satellites. It's wild to think about a 'Kessler syndrome' tipping point. There needs to be as much work put into fixing this as there is by billionaire-funded companies getting material into space. #SpaceDebris https://spectrum.ieee.org/kessler-syndrome-space-debris
