      “And remember kids, the next time someone tells you “the Russians wouldn’t do that!” Oh yes they would.”

      The way Russia is melting down they would have to use a slingshot to deliver it.

      Would they really target Starlink’s commercial satellites? I’d be more inclined to think they’d target the Starshield satellites used by the military.

      Yeah, I’m not gonna worry much about that. Russia is a real-life Bond villain. Big, nefarious plans which they are inevitably unable to complete.

      Honest question: What would happen if a Starship fails to achieve orbit and crashes roughly in the middle of the Kremlin?

    9. IndividualSkill3432 on

      Soyuz can get about 7 tonnes to orbit, there are about 100 tonnes of space rocks that hit Earth each day. They would need to launch about 13 just to put one days worth of micrometeorites into orbit. Even putting up 100 tonnes would take years to hit a satellite. It seems to be a wildly unpractical weapon that would consume the entire launch capacity for many years before it had a real noticable effect let alone taking down a mega constellation.

      It really just sounds like a small department has managed to convince someone to fund something just to keep them in a job.

      I mean, this is pretty much exactly what people were saying would eventually happen since Starlink was first proposed. Not necessarily that Russia would be first, but that near-earth orbit is getting pretty crowded and intelligence through satellites is going to become an obviously good target when a nation is at war. I am zero percent surprised at this development.

      Despite it being owned by Musk, Starlink is probably the single greatest threat to regimes like china, nk, and russia. They are the easiest route to open, uncensored information.

      There’s lots of military applications too, and I was in the US government, I would working on technology to kill their uplink/downlink in different regions. I would say we are at a point today where it is way too easy for a nefarious actor or highschool student with off the shelf components to build in-country a locally autonomous but starlink-controlled/guided drone.

      Are we supposed to be surprised? Russia is running America right now thru Trump.

    16. Tentacle_poxsicle on

      I still laugh at how hard Musk simped for Russia by sparing their fleet and working against Ukraine early in the invasion only for Russia to do something like this

      Russia isn’t our Ally , they may never be one with Putin and his FSB cult in charge, no matter how much dirt or money they throw your way.

      issue is one reason the military is looking at large LEO constellations is that because its not a few GEO satellites its much more resilient.. especially with satellite interlinks. You have to take down WAY more satellites…

    19. PlanetoftheAtheists on

      Why go to the trouble? Just ask Elon or purchase Trumpcoin, then get whatever you want.

    20. Skow1179 on

      I’m ready for the end. Let’s just jump to space lasers and nuke each other into dust so billionaires can live in the wasteland they’ve been preparing for.

    22. sudophish on

      I’m developing a teleportation device… doesn’t mean it will work though.

    23. geek66 on

      I guarantee you the US(and China) has a contingency plan for this network as well

    24. empowered676 on

      I thought musk was putins mate, hope these two eat each other like snakes

    26. derdubb on

      They better not. My life kind of revolves around Starlink working since I live in a remote location and need the high speed service.

    27. DiverDownChunder on

      Little late to the game, the US had the F-15A w/ a dash of ASM-135 ASAT in 1984…

    28. Zardoz_Wearing_Pants on

      why would they bother, musk disabled it when the Ukrainian army was just about to fire on a battleship, causing them to abandon it, so Putin just has to blow mousek a kiss and the switch gets flicked.

      . Or is this just more „!omg ww3“ bs?

    29. ClosPins on

      Elon Musk right now: ‚The Russians are trying to take down my satellites?!! After all I’ve done for them?!!‘

    30. mr_chill77 on

      Aren’t there thousands and thousands of them? It seems like it would be pretty hard to do.

    31. wwarnout on

      But wait – Trump will ask Putin about this, who will deny it. And, once again, Trump will believe Putin rather than his own intelligence agencies.

      Trump is a traitor – and pedo, and felon, and racist/xenophobe/misogynist – and, above all, an ignoramus.

    33. skinnybuddha on

      As soon as Elon gets wind of this he will shutdown Ukrainian service. Which may be the intent of this story.
