Their opinion seemed to be a combination of hatred for capitalism and Elon Musk, and they came off to me as being grasping at straws to justify that opinion.

The point is that even though someone does something fun money, that does not mean what they do is not harmful.

Who said it wasn't? You're arguing against a point nobody made.

Where did I say I was a fan of him?

You're making judgement calls about the technology because you hate the owner of the company, which is kinda sad.

Starlink sats are only visible to the naked eye when they've just launched, once in orbit they're only a problem for ground based optical astronomy, and even then it doesn't seem to be as much of a problem as everyone makes out.

I get that you probably hate Musk, but a lot of the points you're making are just nonsense.

They do have more equipment on them now, so it's possible they've gone up in cost.

Why are they more necessary? They both do the same job.

Do you also think cell towers are "polluting the landscape"?

That makes absolutely no sense.

I doubt it, not at the rate they throw them up.

How do you know that? You're launching an entire rocket to kill one satellite, that can't be cheap.

 

I was one of the people on board Kaitaki when this happened, I'm a bit surprised it went as far as charges being laid though.

 

A few surprises here, namely that PHEVs will pay a lower rate of RUCs, I was under the impression there would be a rebate scheme for petrol purchased.

No revisions to the weight brackets, which I imagine will be necessary before all vehicles eventually go to RUCs.
