I thought you worked for the government...
i am unfixable!
wait... i mean that i dont need to be fixed.
Perfectly designed.

99th percentile head size is obviously a superior trait, since i genetically passed it to one of my offspring.

Agreed.
I don't have much experience with it, but I've seen enough to know that if you're pulling in someone to look over your shoulder when the work is mostly done there are deep issues.

Seven tears up to 10cm long
7 fucking tears.
How many times did they drop it, scratched it over some surface? How is this acceptable on a ~10 Billion $ project?
And most importantly, do they not have any duct tape at Nasa?

FCC authorizes Elon Musk's SpaceX to provide broadband satellite services
https://www.cnbc.com/2018/03/29/fcc...-to-provide-broadband-satellite-services.html
So you dont have to click through their bullshit autoplayvideo site:
The Federal Communications Commission on Thursday approved an application by Elon Musk's SpaceX, allowing the aerospace company to provide broadband services using satellites in the U.S. and worldwide.
"With this action, the Commission takes another step to increase high-speed broadband availability and competition in the United States," the FCC said in a statement.
This marks the first time the FCC has allowed a U.S.-licensed satellite constellation to provide broadband services through low-Earth orbit satellites.
"We appreciate the FCC's thorough review and approval of SpaceX's constellation license. Although we still have much to do with this complex undertaking, this is an important step toward SpaceX building a next-generation satellite network that can link the globe with reliable and affordable broadband service, especially reaching those who are not yet connected," Gwynne Shotwell, President and Chief Operating Officer at SpaceX said in a statement.
SpaceX's proposed satellite system includes 4,425 satellites with frequencies in the Ka and Ku bands (a term that indicates range on the electromagnetic spectrum) to provide global Internet connectivity.
SpaceX will begin launchingthe constellation it dubbed "Starlink" in 2019. The system will be operational once at least 800 satellites are deployed.
Starlink will offer broadband speeds comparable to fiber optic networks.The satellites would offer new direct to consumer wireless connections, rather the present system's redistribution of signals, transforming a traditionally high-cost, low reliability service.
The FCC has within the past year approved requests by OneWeb, Space Norway, and Telesat, which look to provide broadband services access the U.S. market. The FCC considers the satellite technology a promising route toward expanding internet access to remote and rural areas.
These approvals are the first of their kind. The FCC will continue to process similar requests.

The way it reads, it'll be reliant on a satellite dish at home. With Florida's storms, keep that in mind

gigabit speeds, and 25ms latency. If he can price it right, he'll not only put all the broadband providers out of business, but every cellular company as well, as there will be no reason not to just drop a sat uplink into the mobile phone and go all data instead.
