Welcome to today’s daily kōrero!

Anyone can make the thread, first in first served. If you are here on a day and there’s no daily thread, feel free to create it!

Anyway, it’s just a chance to talk about your day, what you have planned, what you have done, etc.

So, how’s it going?

    As I said in the survey, my preference is for a more broad aerospace community, as topics like Starlink, Google Loon etc also affect NZ, and I’d like the opportunity to talk about them as well.

    Starlink, in particular, has the ability to massively change how we do things in the outdoors, the ability to have cell service anywhere will make staying in touch, checking weather etc possible without forking out a few hundred dollars for an Inreach.

      Until Musk has the market captured and then hikes the price because there’s nobody you can buy a similar service from.

        I mean, they’ve got the market captured right now, don’t they? Who else has a constellation like theirs up and running?

      Yeah, the idea of a NZ space community was raised previously. Personally, in my mind that has a different target audience, and those posts are better in the main !newzealand community.

      If you’re keen to discuss NZ space topics, I’m confident they would be welcome in !newzealand.
