I see that Amazon launched 27 internet satellites this morning. They are apparently going to try to compete with Musk for the space based internet industry. Competition is a good thing for prices. It seems that before too long there will be so much junk floating in orbit around Earth the we may start looking like Saturn and it's rings. Here is a map of orbiting articles, including junk and satellites.

Are you close enough to make it worthwhile to go watch a launch. I saw one of Musk's starship launches at South Padre and was impressed.

Anything space related Musk is destroying Bezos on- this is coming from a friend in the industry that doesn’t have a bias.. the new race is in cars- you all see the Slate truck that bezos is backing. This has a lot of potential- basic transportation has gotten ridiculous, I can see this doing very well

Yeah Musk has no competition in the space game. While Bezos was selling books on amazon, Musk was making the best electric car the world had ever seen. They're not the same.

Musk wasn't making anything. He bought his way into Tesla.

We can see the rockets going up, but they are 110 miles away

Just in terms of where each company is at in their rocket technology, BO doesn’t stand a chance. At best they will always be 5-10 years behind

Just came inside.

Saw two strings of about a dozen lights moving north to south. Had to have been satellites.

Pretty cool.

How does all of that stuff not collide? Seems like a mess.
