US Government Gives Elon Musk Permission to Detonate Rockets Over a Sacred Hawaian Island

He's a defiler. POS Star links are everywhere in the sky polluting the sky with streaks and dots for anyone interested in astronomy.

The religious significance of an uninhabited island seems like a nothingburger compared to this:
Along with allowing Musk to rain schrapnel down near Mokumanamana, the FAA also granted SpaceX the ability to do so around Hawaii's eight main islands — which are populated with American citizens
Ah, but those Americans are mostly Democrats so they aren't really Americans and are gonna lose their citizenship and be deported soon anyway. /S

What the deuce?
They must not have had Brady Bunch reruns in South Africa?

A few days ago I was watching stars with a friend and every few minutes we would see satellite after satellite. Yeah that was distracting.

Their future e-waste is now part of the view, just gotta accept it and hope the billboards up there aren't developed in our lifetime.

That’s why you can’t let Zerg get to late game. Guessing he’s going defiler/hydra/lurker? Sounds like we need firebats so we can still do damage under dark swarm. He might counter with scourge/guardians so watch for a greater spire for a good attack timing.

I'm unaware, AFAIK SpaceX is the leading launch provider in the world, taking the place of NASA. Is that a good thing? Probably not but if we're not going to fund it at a government level someone has to do it.
Space X has received over $20 billion of funding from the us federal government. We are funding at a government level.

Are they Americans or not? I know that's a loaded question but we have to dump space trash somewhere if we are going to continue launching. We're not allowed to dump the trash in international waters AFAIK so we have to pick somewhere in our borders.
Gulf of Mexico or The Pacific. Pick one.
Why not the Hamptons or Atherton?

I think it's too far from the equator or some shit.

you already dismissed this in another thread, but seriously, we don't need spacex poluting our oceans and orbits like this. just because nasa isn't doing launches isn't reason to give a corporation carte blanche to do whatever in the name of "progress" while stymying real science. we could do, as a planet, with fewer launches than are being done and taking a longer view of science and research than quarterly profits.

WTF. I want NASA back, I hate SpaceX. They suck. So what do we do?

Not much remains of them upon reentry. At least nothing that can be called e-waste.

a remote and uninhabited island located 400 miles from Honolulu
Mokumanamana sits at the boundary between "'pō,' the darkness, and 'au,' the light." When a Native Hawaiian dies, their soul travels up near Mokumanamana, and after meeting their ancestors there, they potentially get to advance into the great beyond with them in the dark waters west of the island.
okey-doke.
So, uninhabited (at this point means not viable for habitation) and it's a religious site that probably no one goes on a pilgrimage to? Fuckit.
edit: so the people using the downvote button as a disagree button:
What's the problem? If we are going to do this space shit we need places to drop the litter, what's wrong with this place? Is it just because it's Musk and Trump? I'm no fan of either but wouldn't it be better to have this SpaceX trash out in the Pacific instead of off the coast of South Texas where millions of US and Mexican citizens live?
Uninhabited islands are not uninhabitable and the only value of a place is not whether people can live on it. The northwestern Hawaiian islands are a marine sanctuary valued even though barely anyone goes there. This argument is like saying the deep Everglades are unexploited, so we might as well dump our trash there.

Yeah right?? It's so crazy how many satellites there are nowadays.
We used to play with my friends when we were younger to spot them. Now it's harder not to see one.
And the sad part is it's going to get much worse probably.

Yeah, lemmy seems to love religion as long as it's not white or Catholic.
I suspect people would also be upset if Dumbo McNazi got a government contract to destroy a 500 year old cathedral to put up a nazi truck factory.

militant atheism
WTF? The guy is a dick for sure but leave atheists out of it. This term is just the go-to term for extremist religious asshats
it’s a religious site … fuckit
i believe this is what they’re referring to. it’s specifically an atheist take; it’s just not a very nice one
i generally have disdain for religious crap, but do agree that simply writing people beliefs off as open for dumping waste on is probably not in the spirit of live and let live

start getting critical. have conversations with our neighbors to shift what's possible. organize ourselves in the streets because the streets is where we win. refuse to accept that this is just the way things must be

they just aerosolize creating even faster global warming

Same here, I would rarely see a satellite and mostly only during dusk. Two nights ago I was participating in a star gazing activity as par of a birthday party and it's busy up there now
