SpaceX can buy the 5G celltower equipment for pennies on the dollar that they can re-activate and negotiate new leases for the celltowers so they can provide cellphone service to 80% of the population of the USA starting late in 2026 or early in 2027. In 2027, they can upgrade it and fill in the gaps with some other minor purchases or buildout to be fully competitive with ATT, Verizon and TMobile. $SPCX $ECHO
The gear is being auctioned next month. If Spacex buys the gear and renegotiates new lease contracts this would also improve the finances of the Celltower companies and greatly reduce any ongoing losses and liability for Echostar. @elonmusk@chickengenius
If you have identified the areas with the most dmg a point defense system using the plasma to drive em field generators to deflect the plasma seems like it might help. Like regenerative braking but for spacecraft. @elonmusk
@s3cur3@elonmusk Eventually it will be faster than fiber. Speed of light is faster with laser links in a vacuum than it is through any medium including fiber.
@jamesncantrell@multiplanet1@SpaceX That’s why I’ve always freely given him every single idea I can come up with to help him. I’ve never met anyone with as much love for the world, humanity and civilization itself, despite how he is portrayed to the world at present.
@jamesncantrell@multiplanet1@SpaceX Tbh, we expected failure in both ventures before even beginning. I think we gave them a 5% chance. The amazing part of Elon is that he knew it was all likely a fools errand that would lead to ruin. He knew. He chose to do it all anyways. Not for him, not for ego, for humanity.

@ahadj0@SpaceX Yes and they need to be able to live off the land after deployment. Imagine how many robots one robot could make out of a landfill and you have some idea of where you need to go. Lots of alternative recipes for parts so fallback/less optimal but functional recipes can be used.
