Really? I wonder how they are going to get them up there without rocket launches?

#3Should be banned. These companies are destroying a piece of the environment that belongs to all of us - the night sky.

And getting them down. Or allowing them to come down on their own... I doubt that is entirely environmental impact free.

Along that line people should look into BUG ratings [1] for outdoor lighting, especially city operated lights. [1]

I wonder about the impact on our health of all the metals that will be present in the atmosphere after several months. For example, it is well known that lead in gasoline has increased crime.

100 tons is quite a lot of gpus. If they manage to solve such "minor" problems as powering and cooling them they could run for a decade or so without consuming or polluting. The methane burned to get mass into orbit is trivial - a 500MW powerplant burns that much in under a day.

If you people were in charge in the 1800s, you'd ban the industrial revolution and we'd still need slaves for everything.
