- SllX 2y agoNobody has ever argued in the history of Hacker News that the government of the European Union does nothing. The article also indicates this is for secure government comms rather than than public internet use; so it’s not exactly a competitor to Starlink. The interesting part is that it’s a small constellation numbering in the hundreds, which is an arrangement similar to Starlink, but not nearly at their existing scale or future ambition.

- ChocolateGod 2y agoThe EU is great for science and research, but terrible for actually building anything. The UK (although no longer part of the EU) is the homeplace of trains yet can no longer build train tracks.
