Peak snail life, I’m jealous.

Some of them, depends on the network. Even then, you're talking about people whose net worth is closer to a trillion than billions.

As for the former, I kinda get where you're coming from. I suppose they go hand in hand. Though at the end of the day, there's no point to having good internet access if you die or become disabled before you get effectively use it, no? At the end of the day, being close to a hospital that was affordable saved more lives than a google search can.

Once saw a satellite picture of Hurricane Betsy and thought there was a star cluster in it, nah that was just peak satellite photo quality in 1965.

So that's my mistake, I probably shouldn't answer questions while sleep deprived. To answer your question, yes, I do.

No I actually looked into this stuff, Meteorology and Astronomy are my passions.

On rereading my response and then looking at the question. I realized my mistake, maybe shouldn't answer questions after not sleeping for the better part of 32 hours.

What I’d give to have a manager like yours, I’d toss the Earth into Uranus for a few days just to get the day off.

Looked into it, the smallest tropical cyclone in the Pacific Ocean was Cyclone Tracy, which struck Darwin, Northern Territory in 1974. It was 30 miles wide by gale force diameter and measured 1-minute sustained wind speeds of 125 mph (a strong category 3 hurricane). As a major hurricane strength cyclone, it would be the smallest. For 34 years, it indeed was the smallest ever, until 2008 when tropical storm Marco formed in the Atlantic with a gale force diameter of about 10 miles across.

Edit: So, I completely misinterpreted the question, Disregard the above. Don't answer questions while sleep deprived folks.

Can't be any more unnerving than having some jackass crashing through the roof at 3 AM, shooting you in the nuts, and lighting all your shit on fire (true story)

Muscle and bone density too, since they’re evolved to constantly support your body against the pull of gravity. Without constant exercise in space, they degenerate rather quickly.

I cannot guarantee that it'll receive the best community response. Do AI-assisted mods even have a little thing disclaimer or notification to know what people you're attracting, or is that only for games on steam?

I'd put access to food, water, and medical care above it but to each their own, I guess.

Satellites might be the simplest way to do so, but it's not the only way. As I said in another comment, there's a point at which the risks outweigh the benefits of mass satellite deployment in LEO. A lot of this comes down to the fact the alternatives are more expensive and require entire bits of infrastructure to manage. Even then, the only reason Mass Satellite Deployment is so feasible is because the people funding it are some of the richest people on the planet.

Noticed this happens some a lot of interactable, not just the mimics. Tis a funny bug.

Artemis II did far more for that than any amount of junk Starlink/Amazon could do.

And just to think that was in 2023, over 3 years ago. Imagine how bad it is now, or at the rate we're going, 10-20 years from now, as OP mentioned.

LEO would be a landfill in space.

On top of that, you’ve got actual crowding out of telescopes like HST, research satellites and interference with ground based telescopes, and the environmental impact, which studies have shown there being potential links into reopening holes in the ozone layer. I fully expect a certain CEO to try and dispute, downplay, and defund research into those links.

Those satellites have been linked to opening holes in the ozone layer. Not to mention how those satellites are crowding out satellites like HST and the interference many ground based telescopes. 

They’re an active hinderance being disguised as “helpful”, I guarantee you do not need 10k+ satellites in LEO to be useful in communications. You also have the current race between Amazon and Starlink and the potential applications of data centers in which the latter wants 1 million in orbit to do, that’s 100 times the satellites we have currently. At some point risks outweigh benefits and we’re approaching that very rapidly. If you count in Kessler Syndrome, you’re definitely not making things safer for humanity, especially in the long run.

Edit: Figured I should cite my sources, since people are probably skeptical, I was too for a time.

To which I ask you, u/YourFriendTheFrenzy: At what point do the risks begin to outweigh the benefits we had assessed (like Kessler Syndrome) decades in advance?

Look, Texas is bigger than Texas, you wouldn't understand. /j

Reminds me of a time the void seed wouldn't collapse because a fucking phantom void leech didn't despawn, aka the model was there but the hitbox wasn't because it was technically dead, but the objective doesn't count it as such.

Because any interactable in the void seed is unable to be interacted with, it means that the teleporter that was within its bounds was inaccessible and I was soft locked.

My only saving grace was that a halcyon shrine spawned and I was able to take that portal out.

He's trying to achieve flight.

That's great man, you should publish it.

Orion, The constellation Taurus is towards the top of the image, the bright orange-red star that's cut off at the very top is the red giant Aldebaran.

That would be James Blish, a sci-fi writer. He originally used the word to refer to large planetary bodies in 1952, however eventually it was adopted and used to refer to large planets made primarily of gaseous elements/compounds, usually Hydrogen and Helium. 

I remember I went camping in the Rockies, 8000 feet up, the nights were immaculate, Milky Way is beautiful in person.

Reminder that the peak of the sun's radiation is Green, but because that's in the middle of the visible spectrum, all colors are emitted in relatively similar amounts, which gives rise to white.

If the sun were cooler, more radiation would be emitted in infrared and thus appear redder. If the sun were hotter, more radiation would be emitted in the UV, making it appear bluer.

Avenging Kjaro and Runald I see.
