Ever hear about the Kessler effect?

Dude, they are commenting on hacker news… someone brings up Kessler syndrome in basically every post about starlink or even space in general.

It’s up there with microplastics and e-ink displays as a HN meme.

Just how important are the ground stations in Brazil? (I don't mean the end user terminals.)

If Starlink will basically continue to work well enough if those are seized, it seems like the obvious next steps are going to be crypto/stablecoin payments and a focus on small form factor terminals like Starlink Mini that can bypass customs.

Is this a principled defense of free speech or a case of a man treating ostensibly independent companies as divisions of his personal conglomerate?

It's one thing leading to the other. It is what it is.

Are the judge's (possibly illegal) moves motivated by interpretation of the law or by personal vendetta?

Hard to tell , but i'm glad for less censorship.
