Another question (especially to FCC): why deploying satellites into space to provide internet service is more feasible than providing internet terrestrially?
All FCC should have to do is to mandate leasing last mile to competitors, and that would enable competition enter in the market (like they did when DSL was the king).
Farewell, livable climate.
We won’t even be able to escape the planet because the space near earth will be so clogged with satellites anything that tries to break orbit will get destroyed…
I love how billionaires are just allowed to fill the sky with stuff.
They started by launching giant space dicks. Next step: blow their load. 
There's no way that dick wasn't reference to Dr Evil. I have feeling the Blue Origin engineers, purposefully did that, because Bezos kind of looks like him.
One of these days we'll learn to vibrate the entire atmosphere at the frequency of the internet
4 years later we’ll learn it’s what killed all the penguins or turns rain into pee or some other terrible environmental disaster.
We can’t have nice things.
The most efficient system...
