Time Trap (Full Movie) Sci Fi, Mystery, Adventure, 217 - YouTube

Here is a visual of why SpaceX exist today. If short on time start at 54 minutes. I actually watched it from the start not seeing the space connection. I really liked the story.

Got it queued up, thanks for the movie.

Got it queued up, thanks for the movie.

Hope you enjoy it as I did. Some Sci Fi does not work for me but I really liked the intense story line and I did not anticipate the twist.

Brings a whole new meaning to not posting your location on TBN.
-Well you never said you on Mars-

Starlink Beta Speeds & Latencies Revealed / AT&T Eliminates DSL Service - YouTube

Report about the need for Starlink

 

[kcflhrc]

AT&T here in my area has opted to to go wireless for it's rural customers rather than invest money in outdated technology like DSL. It's their Fixed Wireless Internet and is more than capable of meeting the FCC Broadband requirement. It works well for me. I don't blame AT&T for dumping that wireline service but I do have a problem with them abandoning their customer's all together if that's what really happened. No wonder Frontier went bankrupt. That didn't happen here. Selling off local market's is nothing new. Sprint spun off all of their local market and debt years ago with Embarq which is now CenturyLink. But it all comes down to where will the company make the most money and that part of it makes total sense. Any investment in outdated copper technology is a waste of money. But it's better than nothing.

Don稚 you love attorneys?

Man, you took the words right outta my mouth.

I try to use the term lawyers. A rose is still a rose but, for some reason, they don't like the word lawyer so that's all I use. I know, gross generalization.

Here's something from left field. Leonardo De Vinci was illegitimate. That was common and accepted. Because of his illegitimacy, he was not allowed to finish school but far more important, he was not allowed to follow in his fathers profession. At the time they had guilds. If your dad was a banker, you gonna be a banker. If he was a baker, you gonna be a baker.

But only if the child is legitimate. If the child is illegitimate, he could not join his fathers guild!

So, because he couldn't join his fathers guild, Leonardo went on to become, imho, the greatest mind in western culture, possibly in the entire history of the world.

His dad was a lawyer. Thank goodness he liked to play around!

While this nice new fancy Starlink system sounds great and the projected price is high but not much different then its competitors, it has one point in particular I would be concerned with.

It may be faster to deploy then a good fiber network and I am going to sound selfish but my main concern would be North America; Asia, Africa, Middle East and even Europe are not my concern.
What about EMP either man made or by natural solar flares it has disrupted communication systems especially satellite already just from natural occurring instances, it also effects copper and all electrical systems.

Without some information on that aspect at all points, at this time I would still much prefer land based fiber optic systems.
Which at this time I am not able to get and at the current rate of progress may never see.

Land based FO systems use a substantial amount of electronic and electrical components and are in no way immune to EMP.
