Not one major news outlet is covering the destruction of Starlink this summer. Though Lemmy might enjoy Elon losing more money.

That's because we're not fucking morons like you and we understand the realities of life.

Listen, fuck Elon, to be crystal clear. But also, OP, fuck you too for being the same brand of cringe.

Spaceship is hard you're going to lose a bunch of satellites if you're putting that money up there, it's planned and this is within the norms. Maybe dont be such a gigacunt, it's super unattractive.

OP has submitted this link elsewhere. In the comments there, in response to someone asking about the site's legitimacy, I checked and then commented:

OP is also the only person who's submitting the site here. Also, one of the links from the site that they submitted here is of "Interesting video from South America showing what looks like an alien abduction", to which OP added the comment "Kiind of interesting don't know if you guys can see the person being sucked into the cloud". So yeah, I suspect you are correct to be dubious about this source.

Here's a reputable site that says SpaceX is no longer operating (or has otherwise lost) 378 of the 5000 satellites they've launched

However that's an all time number, not just the last few months. The biggest single hit I'm aware of was a batch in 2022 that hit a solar storm that engineers thought they could weather.
