  • I think I can explain it.

    CAD tools are focused on parametric design, meaning you have parameters that effect how the model is shaped.

    It’s very useful for creating a product. Let’s say you made an object 10mm too short, and a whole bunch of other features are based on that measurement. If you update it to add 10mm, if you’re using the tool correct, those features built on top will adjust and accept the change.

    If you do that in a tool like blender, any feature based off of that incorrect measurement will have to be painstakingly updated one at a time.

    So it’s basically a question of “does your design have/need dependancies?”





  • People want houses, that doesn’t mean they want forests clear cut.

    Similarly people want space exploration, that doesn’t mean they want to speedrun Kessler syndrome.

    The infrastructure isn’t the only issue here. Its the fact that this is being done by a corporation owned by a nazi, with many other companies looking to compete. So instead of having one set of LEO satellites, we’ll have several.

    If this was actually used to benefit humanity the light pollution caused by this would be understandable and minimized. But this isn’t being done in a sustainable way, or owned by the people.

    And that’s all before considering the detrement to the environment from these satellites constantly burning up in the upper atmosphere.

    And with all that said, this isn’t space exploration, and it isnt the type of space infrastructure that would aid exploration. Actual exploration doesn’t need thousands, hundreds of thousands, or millions of these tiny satellites aimed only at Earth.
