I really wish cities and other regulatory bodies were equally as zealous in their slapdowns of startup behavior. Airbnb, Uber, and the slew of scooter companies come to mind as doing the equivalent of Swarm’s behavior in their respective markets.

Kurzgesagt[1] convinced me that space debris will become a real problem if we&#x27;re not careful. A &quot;Swarm&quot; of fist-sized cubesats whizzing around our planet at a few thousand km&#x2F;h sounds like a nightmare.<p>[1]: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.youtube.com&#x2F;watch?v=yS1ibDImAYU" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.youtube.com&#x2F;watch?v=yS1ibDImAYU</a>

Not enogh, they willfully ignored the FCC. They should be bared from launching anything in the future and the CEO should be fired.
