So when goliath reaches a 4:10 satellite ratio, David will slay him with a stone (space debris) Id like to think a spacex controlled deorbit (davids stone) will go awry and the thrusters will send it out bound, striking goliaths forehead and starting a chain reaction of goliath satellite crashes On Tue, Apr 29, 2025 at 4:32 PM Bill Prince <[email protected] <mailto:[email protected]> > wrote: I know, but they will never catch up. They only plan on putting up 3,000 (at least so far). Starlink has applied for something like 30,000. bp <part15sbs{at}gmail{dot}com> On 4/29/2025 11:24 AM, Josh Luthman wrote: Starlink started with 27, too. Give them more then 12 hours to catch up? The launch was cool as usual, but it sure looked a LOT faster than every other launch I've seen. Lots of comments on how fast it was from the public/casters as well.
