That scientist must not know how much mass hits the atmosphere each day from meteors.
He doesn’t have time to read that crap. He’s too busy warning people about their microwaves!
If 1000 satellites is all it takes to “erode the atmosphere” to a point where earth is uninhabitable, we’re already fucked a thousand times over.
What a load of utter horseshit
“Scientists say”
Ah, yea, Ye Olde amorphous “experts”
I’m going to call bullshit on that premise.
Holy shit. Why did I read that.
I didn’t and I’m still dumber for having read the headline
The article sourced the daily mail, a NASA scientist, as well as Gizmodo which are some of the best sources one can find. Satellitemap.space sources directly from Space-track.org which defense contractors report to.
The article sourced the daily mail,
You say that like it’s a positive…
Hey now, he also mentioned gizmodo. Which is about on par with the daily mail these days.
"It’s the weekly world news, the eighth most-read paper in the world!
Man gives birth to baby. Now that’s a fact. "
-May, in *So I Married an Axe Muderer". If you’ve never seen it, I highly recommend. Early Mike Myers movie. Odd, quirky, but funny.
Umm, so do you realize how badly you just destroyed any shred of credibility you had left?
Thank you for identifying a source of disinformation, though; I’m adding it to my block list.
Ex-NASA scientist, and the article goes on to claim that gigahertz frequencies (you know, WiFi, 4g, etc) may cause health risks.
I know the musk circlejerk is pretty big around here, but come on.
I originally saw a story about it that made its way to The Guardian’s opinion section that had mostly turned into some sort of rant about wealth. Someone submitted it to the Threadiverse.
I pulled up a more astronomy-based source, submitted that instead, and commenters on the Threadiverse went through and decided that the original paper – not peer-reviewed, on Arxiv – was basically horseshit. Let me link to my submission, just a sec.
EDIT: Here you are.
I’ll also add that while I was kind of irritated constantly listening to people constantly praise and laud Musk back when he was saying progressive things, now that he’s saying conservative things, listening to people constantly portray him as Hitler reborn is getting even-more-obnoxious than when he was constantly being cheered. I’d kind of like to stop hearing about him so much. He really does not matter to anywhere approaching the degree of news coverage he gets.
I’ve seen this site get spammed in the past, but it’s been a few months. Guess they’re at it again.
That whole site is an unholy mixture of religion, conspiracy, and Elon Musk. It’s bonkers.
Basically if you see tiblur [dot] com, you can pretty much just report it as spam.
