700 satellites, ya think that will be enough?

Fiber like speed for everyone on the planet! Google just gave space X 10 Billion Dollars. I am thinking we might not need cable or dsl lines for much longer and hopefully Hawaii will be well covered.

Wow. This may keep me in a job for a while. Part of our new role is characterizing orbital debris that could impact orbiting satellites (have you seen "Gravity"? Awful science other than the "Kessler Effect"). Seems we might have a bunch more to worry about...

Thanks, Pog, and vice versa of course. However, as you may have heard from the odd person here, we only hire mainlanders...
