Looking forward to the time when we call for and build a decentralized Starlink!
will be cool to see open source satellites in space.
Discussion
Great idea 💡
and btw. open source satellite projects have been around for a long time.
There is the Libre Space Foundation and others.
nostr:nprofile1qqsfy229w70e8lgtxavlz9t78k06yrel6fxyhreteafqet8kfxhhwmg2c6av2 already run the Bitcoin blockchain from space:
afaik they just buy rent some satellite space, but the satellites are not theirs.
there is also stuff like: https://aws.amazon.com/ground-station/
I guess having "net neutrality" in space is even harder due to less competition?
Not everybody can launch their own satellites yet.
Come the next halving tho.
I'm not sure what I'm going to use my satellites for, maybe global shitposting 😂
you can shitpost through space with the blockstream API: https://blockstream.com/satellite-api-documentation/ - each message costs you a few sats.
Amazing, first time I hear about this AWS Service. Crazy
Mm just need rocket. Satellite not big problem. Where Rocket?
maybe we can start with the SpaceX rideshare: https://www.spacex.com/rideshare/
