A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

"Modelled CO2 emissions scenarios from years 2000-2100 indicate a potential 50-66 percent reduction in satellite carrying capacity between the altitudes of 200 and 1,000 km."

That’s a severe reduction.

Imagine if Mr. “Occupy Mars” ends up being the guy to trap us here on Earth forever by clogging up space.
