With that number of more satellites in orbit, launching a manned rocket into space is likely to be too risky due the amount of more debris and satellites.
And will it be net energy positive solution ?

Re:Americans Are Paying for Tariffs, Not Foreign Companies

I don't think I have read anything so wrong about tariffs in quite a while.
Tariffs either protect local manufacturing and/or slows consumption of said import.
In both cases, it is inflationary.

I live on a fault line, and we have overcome most issues by building seismic tolerant buildings.
We have the knowledge to live in high-risk areas with some certainty, but it will never be without risk. Climate change, ie more frequent severe weather events, is definitely going to challenge our norms and how we do things. Fire tolerant buildings ?

Start by doing a long walk, like the PCT or Te Araroa trail. 3+ months of hiking.
You are busy every day, get up, eat and start walking. Finish the day physically tired. Sleep rinse and repeat.
Have a break from news etc
You come out fit, mentally reset and have a good perspective. Just my 2c

Relays and contractors are the same.

I got no idea why, where or how the naming came about or who decides.
But i guess its the same as creeks and rivers, when does a creek become a river

It's not all about immediate possible financial gain.
