        But what launch provider should I use then?

        Boeing? No, I don’t think so.

            You don’t like GNSS?

            Also space programs have been the source of a lot of world changing inventions.

                  Are you? stfu or go invent a microwave that prevents neoliberal mayors and govenors (at least in the US’s system) from sicking cops on their own constituents while giving the real estate contracts to their buddies who are only interested in building McMansions. 🤡

                  Edit: As a rule I dont get dragged into pointless debates.

                  Im as enthusiastic for space as they come.

                  Simply put, until we address the root causes of systemic injustice which are low hanging fruit, and by that I mean do away with the parasitic billionaires who prevent that, any venture into space shall be doomed to come crashing back down for the self-canniblizing fascism which imperialism is.

                  It’d be funny, if it werent so sad, to see clearly the indignance and hipocrisy from those who believe themselves so enlightended, double down on the “importance of space” exploitation, capital extraction and colonization…without ever considering the rest of the picture.

                  I used to be bothered by the lyric

                  spendin all their OUR money building rockets they can shoot into the stars

                  Neoliberals had their chance with this fucking dynamic, and blew it.

                  I have no interest in a future in space that is owned by assholes and authoritarians. That doesnt mean i give up on Star Trek. It means I recognize this society is barreling ignorantly toward the bell riots.

                    Whataboutism. Just because you don’t find space exploration necessary (it absolutely is), does not mean you find homelessness tolerable and it doesn’t even relate.

                    So you’re saying your comment has fuck all to do with space exploration and you were just looking for an excuse to drag everyone into a conversation about capitalism.

                    Funny.

            I agree that manned space programs are unnecessary and unmanned should be very limited. Starlink shouldn’t have been allowed. Unfortunately the US government let telecoms off the hook when it came to serving rural areas.

          And be locked down to awful local companies? Starlink was cheaper, faster and more reliable than the Canadian alternatives

          I know it’s not always the case, but even then, it’s a global choice versus a local one when it comes to travelling beyond just boats and giving a guaranteed service

          Edit: Woah. Wireless Internet has a lot of issues in Canada, limited speeds, slowdowns, hidden fees… You get rid of that by paying double and getting also double the speed and without anything else hidden

          Albeit you’re stuck to starlink services, but that’s just a downside of satellite internet

        If you’re on a boat… fair enough.

        Otherwise, look into WISPs… Wireless Internet Service Providers. Great for rural areas, the infrastructure is point-to-point radios, so it’s super easy to go large distances without the cost of fiber or copper cables.

        Best part is, if you have any neighbors that are interested, they’ll often give you a discount if you let them put a sector antenna on your barn/silo. Or they can also erect a short tower if you let them too.

        If there aren’t any in your immediate area, reach out to ones nearby. They’re always looking to expand.

      …Ok, now what? Is evil defeated yet?
