SpaceX won regulatory approval Tuesday to add more than 2,800 low Earth orbit satellites to its modified Internet broadband constellation, overcoming objections from Carlsbad’s Viasat and others concerned about space safety and signal interference.
The Federal Communications Commission gave SpaceX permission to modify an existing license for its Starlink broadband service, which will enable it to increase the number of satellites in a lower Earth orbital slot to 4,408 in total.
SpaceX recently launched Starlink as a beta service in the U.S., using the roughly 1,385 satellites that it has launched to date to deliver high speed, low latency satellite broadband.

One of the offshoots of a post-COVID-19 world is the increased attention to other existential threats facing humanity that can cause serious interruptions to business as usual in America.

According to the complaint, the mine, which takes up over 1,500 acres of undeveloped land, is used to produce glyphosate for use in Bayer’s herbicides. Reportedly, the mine is used to find elemental phosphorus, which is used to manufacture glyphosate at a plant in Soda Springs, Idaho. The glyphosate is later used by Bayer to produce Roundup, a controversial herbicide, which has been the cause of thousands of lawsuits.
