Can we just take a moment to process the absolute insanity of SpaceX's launch cadence right now? Launching two Falcon 9 rockets carrying massive batches of Starlink satellites from two entirely different coasts, Vandenberg Space Force Base in California and Cape Canaveral in Florida, on consecutive days (March 13 and 14) is just mind-blowing. It feels like we are completely taking for granted how routine spaceflight has become.
We are literally watching the commercialization of space happen in real-time, building a global internet infrastructure at a pace no government could ever match. Some people complain about the night sky getting crowded, but honestly, having reliable internet access in the most remote corners of the globe is a game-changer for humanity. Are we moving too fast, or is this exactly the kind of relentless progress we need right now?
I'm firmly on the side of progress, but it's wild to think about what the sky will look like in a decade. #technology #space #culture
