And makes you a national risk for all sorts of reasons that you probably would not want to do that.

But the point was there, hey, give it enough batteries and enough solar panels.

It is it is definitely possible to create all this energy.

There's 70, as of June of this year, there's 7,800 Starlink satellites in orbit with over 2,300 satellites added in the preceding year.

So it's not like, oh, 7,800, it's growing slowly.

It's 7,800 and they added a quarter in the preceding year.

And then I was looking to see how many of them, this is what I was actually looking up.

So it's funny you asked that.

I was asking, well, just Google's open AI, how many had collided with space junk or something like that.

And it says it's not unheard of that.

He gave me something about 2009.

I don't see anything that's that's

Super high.

And this is also saying, sorry, I'm just reading this.

A number of active starting status orbit varies depending on reporting date.

Actually, it's up closer to 10,000 now as of November 2025, because that last number I had was closer to June.

increasing fast would be the way to do that and they don't have a super super long lifetime lifespan in fact i remember early on the first starlink were more of a proof of concept and they were always intended to be decommissioned which probably just means burn up in the atmosphere um and and taking you out of slow orbit and just fall it fall into the atmosphere so i don't really know more about that but um

Yeah.

Yeah, super cool.

So, Beth, I know you're commenting back on that, but as we sort of like sort of getting back into the news and stuff like that, did you have any news stories that you wanted to share?
