Next year, SpaceX aims to average one launch every 2.5 days
SpaceX's Falcon rockets are flying more often than any launch vehicle in history.
Because it improves our lives by serving society with everything from scientific study through communications enhancements.
@volkris @arstechnica pretty crowded now.
@volkris @arstechnica and Musk doesn't do things to help mankind.
Space is pretty huge! They wouldn't bother launching anything if it was just going to run into something else and blow up.
There's a lot of... space up there :)
And from launching NASA exploration vehicles through the underserved areas now being served by StarLink we can see for ourselves that these claims that Musk doesn't do things to help mankind are just bunk.
It's really a nutty claim, like telling someone through the internet that the internet doesn't exist.
It's gaslighting.
Yes, space junk is something to be worried about, but it's like landfill space down here on the ground: we have SO MUCH space here in terms of square miles that even though we should avoid turning the whole continent into a landfill, we are nowhere nowhere near seeing that happen.
But at the same time reporters are able to put out sensationalize clickbait misrepresenting the orbital space as a present danger.
Such reporters are misleading their readers. It's really a shame.
