@jodmentum@apobangpo.space @sundogplanets@mastodon.social So, I propose we call this the "Great Space Data Race Boondoggle", and furthermore I propose that companies absolutely *should* do this anyhow, for *precisely* the reasons Taranis has put forward. It would cause a wide ranging, catestrophic failure of any corporation involved, which would then put them out of the way so that other, better run companies could take over.
