> charlatan like Musk

If Musk was a charlatan, we wouldn't have this problem. Musk would have failed to put spacelink satellites in orbit and we wouldn't have this problem.

The reason why we have this problem is precisely because Musk isn't a charlatan.

> I also know a lot of people directly involved in SSA and all of them are very concerned with how much these new constellations are going to increase the risk of collisions

Just because they are concerned doesn't mean they are against SpaceX or Musk. Every venture is open to concern.

> SpaceX cultists

Is NASA and the US government SpaceX cultists? You act like Musk just sent this satellites up there without any warning or government approval. He didn't.

All you've done is toss ad hominems at Musk, SpaceX and those who support this venture.

I call Musk a charlatan because he tries to pass himself off as something he isn't. His physics and engineering knowledge is nowhere near the level he boasts about, and he often states things that an SME would find laughable were they not eaten up without question by so many ill-informed cultists. It's dangerous, and unfortunately it's probably going to result in even more harm to people before he's reigned in.

And to clarify, the SSA folks I was referring to are against these types of constellations particularly in the context of the speed and lack of oversight (and no, FCC/ITU spectrum approval has nothing to do with oversight and regulation of the physical objects in orbit) of these ventures.
