  1. Elon Musk’s SpaceX StarLink satellites. It is a satellite internet system.

    There are still thousands more to be launched yet.

  2. Sarah: It was Bill Gates’s fleet of aerial innoculators spreading disease and inhalable nanochips. They’re coming to get you!

    • Actually Bill Gates is big into putting engineered viruses into mosquitos to reduce mosquito populations. He is just a little lazy about testing the viruses on other types of animals the mosquitos may bite.

      I think you are referring to… “The Office of the Gene Technology Regulator (OGTR) is on its way to approve a licence application from PaxVax Australia (PaxVax) for the intentional release of a GMO vaccine consisting of live bacteria into the environment in Queensland, South Australia, Western Australia and Victoria.”… which is a real thing. I think they are trying to figure out a way to vaccinate Koalas against chlamydia and this is a benign, small scale test.

        • I know you emotionally struggle with the frightening pace of technological progress and do little to keep up with it, so I will forgive your tantrum. Look up ‘James Web disprove big bang’. That’s probably more your speed.
