@hamids and you also forgot to mention cosmic radiation, and in particular solar radiation . A big solar flare will turn an AI satellite into a useless piece of garbage.
@MarcusHouse It's simple. Starship's role in Artemis is diminishing because the project isn't ready. And time is running out. So the idea of somehow involving Starship was like this.
@MarioNawfal The problem with orbital debris is that it rotates uncontrollably in all axes. Capturing a real object with its "tentacles" is virtually impossible.
@franperez_co 3. "Orbital data centers are not viable."
4. "It won't work; Elon is distracted by a bunch of companies."
5. "Starship doesn't work; all it does is explode."
6. "We'll never get to Mars."
That's right—it's true.
@MarioNawfal Musk created SpaceX. And immediately started telling tales of Mars exploration. Then a more lucrative story emerged: space internet. "I had to do this project." Now a new one has appeared – the Cosmo-Data Center. More profitable...
@jota_snchez Tú, que escribiste esta publicación, ¿qué has hecho para juzgar a la gente por sus opiniones sobre Musk? ¿Acaso creaste un cohete, una computadora o un programa? ¿Quién eres tú para escribir sobre personas con opiniones críticas en un tono tan despectivo?
@brivael Musk is independent of money? He constantly lies for money. For example, he lied for 20 years about colonizing Mars. Now he's lying about "colonizing the Moon." And he's investing in space data centers.
@goho___ Complete nonsense. The head of a company should not alternately take on the role of "secretary", "janitor", "clerk", etc. BECAUSE he has completely DIFFERENT functions. Experience as a secretary or cleaner is zero for a CEO.
@Truthful_ast New Glenn is a ready-made, established rocket that has proven its capabilities in orbital flights. Starship is not. That's the whole difference.
@MarioNawfal There are scenarios in which the number of satellites in LEO, ranging from 70,000 to 100,000, "kills" orbital space. The density of satellites per unit area is such that the failure of one cascades down all the others.
@ElonClipsX I don't think a data center's primary focus is on high startup capacity. The key is the ability to operate smoothly in conditions of radiation, low energy, and a complex heat transfer system.
@XieJackie At a rocket company, only 10-20 people show their talent. The rest just have to do their jobs well. Musk hires young people because they're easy to manipulate.
@MarioNawfal Musk initially created Starlink to fund flights to Mars, but then realized it was more profitable to finance the CosmoData Center and began funding them instead. In 5-7 years, a new project will emerge that requires funding. Mars can wait.
@cryptogoos The next logical step for China is to abandon the dollar. That would be epic. And once again, the US is "sawing off the branch it's sitting on" – currency cannot be used as a weapon!
@muskonomy That's how it will be. If success occurs, Musk will declare himself the winner; if failure, he will say it was a test flight. Excellent plan!
@MarioNawfal Since when has Trump started taking his allies' opinions into account? And it's quite possible that no one asked Trump for anything. Who can trust Trump after he constantly distorts the facts?
