Would be curious what the carbon footprint of new satellites are compared to the carbon footprint of new transatlantic cables and radio towers… 🤔

You know what seems like a really good idea when we’re trying to reduce carbon emissions? A bunch of new satellite networks. We could get, like, one of the least trustworthy people on Earth to launch thousands of the things and then get everyone else to launch their own because he can’t be trusted. Literally just blot out the sun with them. No biggie.

Are you seriously trying to argue against necessary communications infrastructure (mere days after Russia severed an undersea cable) with emissions?
